    To be polite accepted invitation of my Oxford supporting son in law to accompany him to the play off final. Wondering what will be easier, pretending I’m happy if they win or sad if they lose.
    Sit there comparing the Play-Off to 2019 and 1998, wondering when its going to liven up like those two days
    Shit atmosphere. Bolton fans sat motionless, silent and disgusted. Oxford don’t have any songs. Enthusiastic family audience obviously enjoying the day out - like they would at a picnic with a Punch and Judy show.
    Have you seen my promotion? I'm sure I left it here! *Crocodile with Oxford shirt on appears*

    Bolton have massively underperformed the past few seasons with the squad they've got

    Surprised they're not asking more questions around Ian Evatt

    Not been following the playoffs but why are Bolton getting criticism for pitch invasion after the semi final?

    Because they celebrated achieving something, when they didnt win anything... No doubt we'd have been slagged off after Doncaster had we lost to Sunderland

    It wasn’t just the pitch invasion by the fans - some of the players were also drinking beers and celebrating with the fans in the stands when they still had a job to do! They look very silly now is the point and a bit arrogant.

    I'd be pretty disgusted too if we'd got through 48 games and a side we beat 5-0 two months ago were all that stood between us and the Championship, i travelled 3-4 hours to get there, spending over 100 quid on the day out, and then we didn't even have a shot on target.

    That is the reason we still need VAR. What a terrible dive and decision by the ref.

    I saw us get a draw at Bolton this season (3-3) .. ok, Bolton were short of a couple of regulars but we took it to them and they were far from impressive even against our brittle team. They did not impress me at all.
    Oxford on the day were fired up, well organised and deserved their win

    Yeah first replay you could see the Goalkeeper gets a toe on the ball

    you can't call that a terrible decision, it took VAR to overturn it .. the TV commentators at first view called a penalty, then changed their minds after a couple of replays .. an occasion when VAR proved invaluable ..

    And the worst thing of all is that you’ve got to go back to Bolton afterwards.

    Not the worst result for us as at least it means another southern team in league one next year.

    Closest FL club to me, very pleased for them and a nice boozy day out some time next season!

    Most definitely can see the Crawley spares thread being busy for next season. Hopefully, it won’t be on Boxing Day.

    Crawley away feels like the obvious Boxing Day pick. Nice to have a local away as a Sussex based fan to replace Pompey.

    Klaidi Lolos of Crawley looked really tidy, wouldn't have him on my wish-list as I haven't seen him enough, but he was making things look effortless everytime he had the ball I thought. Made a sensational pass in the first half. 

    Might be one to keep an eye on? 6'2, 13 goals and 5 assists in 46 appearances. We need more goals from the middle..
    Agree, thought Liam Kelly was outstanding too 
    It's a must What a player

    It must be good for Charlie to know that he can affect the game from the bench as much as he does on the pitch

    I just googled their away allocation. 
    It said up to 1600.
    Considering they only hold just over 6k that's better than I thought.

    Think a lot of people ticked it off as a new ground in the Papa John's. Seem to remember we took over 1k for that midweek!
