A valiant effort today from the Addicks. Whilst we’ve won today’s battle, unfotunately winning the last place in the playoffs was a step beyond us. Accrignton did their part, but Burton failed to deliver. We miss out on goal difference

Injuries took their toll on our COVID-affected season. We came out of the gate this season with a run of fine form and finished the same. Can’t help but think what would’ve been if we’d had a consistent, solid centre-back pairing. If we’d performed marginally better in the middle of the season, perhaps we’d have been sitting pretty in a playoffs spot.

Now we’re able to concentrate on building for a League One challenge under Adkins.

Over to you.

    Played well today and definitely did enough for the win which was all we could do. Ultimately the awful performances towards the end of Bowyers reign cost us.

    Looking forward to seeing the squad we build over the summer. Just can’t wait to get back to the valley next season.

    Odds on a 'we go again' tweet by Pearce?

    Hopefully he goes again - on a free transfer.

    It's the hope that kills. 

    I am looking forward to next season though. I have a feeling that we are relatively safe in Adkins hands - especially if we get recruitment right. 

    In Adkins first 10 games in charge we Won 5, drew 4 and lost 1. Beating Sunderland, Hull, Lincoln and not looking out of our depth against Peterborough on the way.

    You can't turn your nose up at what Bows has done at Birmingham, but if only that change had a happened a few games earlier. We might be in a complete different situation.

    Despite being shit and also without a proper centre back pairing for large parts of the season we've ended up just 3 points off 4th place. With decent recruitment this summer i'm fully confident we'll make a strong challenge for automatic promotion next season.

    However we're feeling at the moment (I accepted it before the game started) just remember, the next League game held at the Valley... We should all be there

    Good effort today, but the season was lost in a category of individual errors throughout the season, and our 'other' difficulties back at the beginning. Looking forward to next season and seeing what Adkins can do with a team of his own. I've got a very good feeling.

    Forget about penalty misses and late goals conceded. We failed to get on the playoffs because of the management decision not to buy a centre back in January. Our defence for 3 months was bottom half of the table quality.

    Dropped two points a couple of weeks ago against Crewe, they would have been handy today.

    Did Burton really give a debut to their back up keeper who'd been on loan to a non league team this season?

    Got to be honest I'm glad this season is over. 
    Not being allowed to go has made this season a bit surreal. 
    Bring on next season with a fresh squad of players and an ambitious new owner with a decent new manager. 
    We will smash this wanky league next season.

    'We can't get anyone in who would be better than Pratley or Gunter' :D

    Going to be positive. Predicted 15th after we lost to Blackpool. 30 points from last 45 since that game. Roll on next season.

    At least we did ourselves in this season and there was no corruption perpetrated by a bunch of norvern monkies and a useless EFL/FA...

    Potentially in League One next season we have: 

    Charlton
    Sunderland
    Blackpool
    Portsmouth
    Bolton
    Sheffield Wednesday
    Rotherham


    Tough season to get promoted.

    Pleased we won. 
    For those players who will be with us next season, I hope they were made to watch hull lift the trophy, so it drives us next season. Nige just said ' that's us next season.
