    They've been doing that for a few games now.

    They've no defenders available.

    It’s exciting to be involved in games like this again. Whatever happens, we need to back Alexander next season and avoid making rash decisions chasing the “grass is greener” option, like we did with McCall back in the League One days.

    Only caught the last 15 of last night's play off in the Boar and Fable and that seemed a snoozefest, Middlesbrough stormed the first half but not a lot of end product in that one.

    Hopefully this one kicks on and we start getting some goals! Stevenage fans chanting "dirty northern bastard" after a foul from the very clearly African Sidibe at Stockport aas the highlight so far....

    Can't see it being any different to any of the championship or league one matches so far - cagey.

    You mean the bloke that took us to the final of the competition we've just got back into after nearly a decade away? Terrible example.

    These playoffs have been embarrassing. We have a stage to show the EFL is good and every game is 0-0. Absolute rubbish

    Now conceding a goal like that right at the end is what you call gut wrenching. You really have to feel for the Stevenage fans tonight and what’s it going to do to their players for next week?

    I read it as saying we should've stuck with McCall?
