I hope Bowyer addresses the performance post match and doesn't just find excuses. 

Really want someone to grill Bowyer. The Sarr decision is one of the weirdest bits of management we’ve seen.

Sarr should have been rested for Monday!!

Today was clearly the harder fixture

Just as well, then, that our play-off final is on the Sunday.

Game was lost the minute Igor was out. No back up striker, can’t win with one up front. Thanks Roland.

Love Bowyer. 

He lost that today before we kicked off.

Play-Offs it is then

We all dreamt of 2nd, we didnt expect it, we knew it would be a hard task, just a shame its Charlton who ended our own hopes!!

Disagree... We murdered them for the first 30mins

Two soft goals against the run of play was what ended our chances as they sat back and invited the pressure, with two big Centre-Backs that was always going to be difficult...

Didnt help that both Full-Backs had god awful games for us today

Well done Karl Robinson...... If he hasn't told himself that twenty times already!!

I seriously loathe Gobbo.

Rotating players in a chase for automatics where we have to win every game, our lord and saviour Lee Bowyer everyone. Imagine if he didn’t have Taylor to bail him out every week. 

EveshamAddick

Can’t see us having the consistency needed over 3 play off games with this squad. No strength in depth, not enough goals, too many spongefoot midfielders.

The defence without Purrington and Sarr looked disorganised. Playing one up top did not work.
But given Purrington and Vetokele were unfit, the only criticism of Bowyer is not bringing Sarr on at half time.

MuttleyCAFC

Wrong changes - Sarr is better than Pearce. Pearce is an excellent player but Sarr is better than him. This was the game for Sarr and Monday was the game for Pearce. Solly was rubbish, deserved to go and all the people who can't see what Purrington brings to the team - there you go.

Let's just hope Lee has learned from the experience.
