My impression of Blackburn was of an average side who would be in the bottom third of the table without the two strikers. They lack invention and creativity and have too many jobbing journeymen to be a promotion side. Selling one or the other and investing in a quality midfield would actually benefit them, because on the day our midfield was by far superior.

We won against Wimbledon and Wycombe's cock up against Morecambe means Southend are in third position now, two points ahead of us and three points ahead of Wycombe. Next week, Southend play away at Morecambe, Wycombe also play away at Northampton and we are playing Tranmere away, who themselves were relegated to the Conference today. With them and Cheltenham going down, and the play-offs being 99% in place now, it's all about that final 3rd automatic promotion spot. BRING IT ON!

That's exactly what we are. The fact that we've finished 9th with Rhodes and Gestede in the team is absolutely criminal, and makes me wonder if we can only come 9th when we do have them, next season will be frightening when we'll probably be without them both.

Strikers normally are somewhat replaceable.
Watford went from Vydra to Deeney to Ighalo being red hot.
Ipswich from McGoldrick to Murphy
Newcastle from Carroll to Best to Ba to Cisse to Ba to Remy to Cisse.
I'm sure Scott McDonald or Leigh Griffiths or Noel Hunt will score 20 next year.....

You're probably right, but we're still under a transfer embargo! Although not sure if that'll change or not if/when Rhodes and Gestede leave.
Congratulations to Bournemouth and Howe, incredible achievement.

imo his CV is less impressive than Dyche or Lambert's was at the point of promotion.

Nevertheless, and even with the cash, going from the basement end of League Two to the Premier League in six years is still a hell of an achievement.

Bit poor taste to then say "Enjoy League One" to them in his post-match press conference. Even if a Millwall player had started it.

Just wish Whelan was still in charge - wonder if he's broke his leg playing in league one too?
Back where they belong.

Historically, maybe, but I'm a bit disappointed for them. They've tried to build a core of young support and encourage locals to get along to their games, and League One won't do anything for them. Still, if you can't score goals you won't stay up and fans won't come through the doors. They've not had a proper striker for months, which is what's cost them imo. Better defensively than most in the bottom half, but just no firepower to get them points.
I want to congratulate Bournemouth, but I don't buy this 'incredible story' thing. The money has taken the edge off their achievement a little. Remember, their strike force alone cost about £8m, with Wilson and Rantie a combined £6m. Still, other clubs have spent massive money (Nottingham Forest, for instance) and got nowhere. This is a tough league, and it's a real achievement to get out of it even with money, even when most clubs are cutting their cloth.
And on Rotherham - can't expect Steve Evans to be the bigger man. Cracking quote, mind, even if it lacks in class.

Agreed on the hopes of the extremely cheaply assembled Ipswich going up though.

Good luck for your second leg on Sunday! Here's hoping we make it to Wembley too for what should be a good game!

Meanwhile, as it stands, a pretty woeful looking Derby are sinking out of the play-offs on the final day.

Blackpool game still hasn't restarted. Brilliant job from the fans.
terriersmad
No, it isn't. I get that why they're protesting and support the reasons, but the means are wrong. Plain and simple. You can't stop a football match - it's that simple. Protest in the stands all you want, but if it spills over onto the pitch it's gone too far.

Three points, please.
Update: fans have got onto the directors balcony and have been physically violent. Stopped from getting to Oyston by police. I sense half a dozen games will be played behind closed doors.
BR.
3-2 win for us today, Rhodes and Gestede at it again. Last game for David Dunn, he's been a superb player for us and he still stands out every time he plays as the most technically gifted player on the pitch. Top man Dunny!
Sam
I disagree, they've got every right to do it. They love their club and their owners are treating it like shit, it shows what fan power can do.
bmg033
Agreed. They shouldn't just sit there watching their club get beat every week while the club is being ruined by Oyston.
