Good teams at this level either have players that attack with pace or players that can get round the defence or both. The England starting 11 appear to have neither. Also when we got the 2nd goal it was instant retreat - no thoughts of trying for the third to kill the game off. A better team than Slovakia would have made us pay for this. So so boring to watch. Unless there is a U turn in attitude we will be deservedly dumped out on Saturday.

Typical England, no passion, played like statues. This is shaping up to be another tournament where they limp into the knockouts and get beaten by the first big team they meet. Why can't they show a bit of passion for once?

If Ings signs for £6m I'd say that was a good bit of business. He's always been about brains rather than speed so age shouldn't be too big an issue. If treated correctly I don't see why we couldn't get 10-15 goals from him. IMO he still has something good to offer.

As others have said its a balanced set of fixtures, tough teams are usually followed by beatable ones. The only tougher spots that stick out are the start of Dec (Chelsea(h)\Villa(a)\Spurs (h)) and May (Leicester(a)\Man City(h)\Everton(a)\Arse(h)). Home points are key and Jan-Apr looks to have quite a lot of winnable home fixtures. If we can keep up with the pace till Jan then we've given ourselves a decent shot of getting over the line. Must be clear of danger by May.

If the club wanted a Boruc type experienced GK signing I like Lars Unnerstall at FC Twente. Good experienced shot stopping keeper that probably wouldn't cost a huge amount.

Not a chance he gets loaned - it's going to be hard enough to stay in this league with what we have let alone loaning people out. He stays and fights for his place, we are not exactly overwhelmed with strikers right now and I'm fairly sure that neither the club or Ross Stewart will be thinking of parting ways just now.

Thought he was raw but still had a bit of class about him when he played here last. RM would have to play to his strengths but if he did AB would be a potent weapon. His age is also a plus and he enjoyed his last stint here by all accounts (in a dreadful team). £25M is steep considering what he's done since but I wouldn't be against him coming back.

Great goal and a very nervy finish but this time we got it over the line. This season has been everything I hoped for in August, a chance to bounce back with a repaired mojo. I've been critical of him but fair dues to RM - he steered it in. Now it's over to the board to provide some serious investment as we're going to need a fair bit of strengthening in the close season. Will be exciting to see who we get...

They'll keep him for 5-10 games and see how it goes. If we struggle he'll be gone by end of October. Personally I think his style will really struggle in the prem.

If we get promoted I'd make a top quality GK + a top quality striker the no 1 priorities. I do wonder if we'd have had a better GK last season whether we would have been relegated in the first place.

Great win but the job is not over, dirty Leeds up next. Going to be step up from the Baggies but we definitely have the tools to get the job done and we know we can beat them. Their 2 defeats to us will definitely be playing on their minds. IMO the biggest plus in these last few games has been McCarthy in goal. If defence has a GK they fully trust then they can play their own game better. Baz always had a clanger in him. Sets the rest of the team up. Bring it on.

As long as we don't bottle it I fancy our chances. Match their intensity and our better attacking quality should tip the balance. Play off the pace though and they will beat us.

0-0, I'll take that. If we don't bottle it on Friday we should be able to get through. Shame we didn't see much more of McCarthy this season but better late than never. If Ches is out Stewart should get the nod. Mara should be nowhere near the first team.

If Adams is out and Stewart is fit then play him. This is cup football, play your strongest team and go for the win. After what I saw against Stoke Mara should not be getting anywhere near the first team.

This is going to be tough but if we don't bottle it I fancy our chances. They are a good solid unit but reasonably predictable and we do have the weapons to get past them. Our biggest enemy is our own mentality. Will the Leeds team turn up or will it be the Stoke one? Hopefully a draw or narrow defeat at the Hawthornes followed by a comfortable home win.

WBA is probably the team I wanted in the playoffs. As long as we don't bottle it I fancy our chances. Reckon Norwich will beat Leeds, they look completely deflated.

I'll go 2-1 to Leeds in the battle of the chokers. They are poor but we are even poorer. The Norwich and WBA games are a lot more interesting. I think Norwich will do enough to face us in the semi.

Overall Leicester and Ipswich have been the best 2 teams IMO so both going up is right. Saints and Leeds have choked too much to get top 2.

Even though we lost the 2nd leg it was a fantastic game and one of those nights to remember. Rasiak's goal was brilliant. However just like that season we now have a manager that is less than inspiring and a team that would get a beating in the prem. Looks like Norwich in the semi and unless we get our mojo back ASAP I see a close 1-0 or 2-1 defeat at Carrow road followed by a draw at SMS. Whilst they are not in scintillating form we are as flat as a pancake thanks to the last 3 games. Lets hope it's all part of a cunning RM plan to lure the opposition into a false sense of security......😄

Dismal performance. Mara would struggle in non league, not that the rest were anything to write home about. I think Norwich will get 5th and we will get dumped out in the semis. Would like to see RM replaced but I suspect he'll be here next season. What a way to end the regular season home campaign.

Fair play to Leicester and Ipswich who have overall been the best 2 teams in the champ. As for the playoffs my money would be on Norwich who have entered them on a decent run whereas Saints\Leeds\WBA look jaded. I just hope we avoid them.

Was looking forward to this but after the last 2 games really not interested. What a great way to go into the playoffs.

What a buzz kill these last 2 games have been. Struggling to see us do much in the playoffs now. RM is a very average champ manager who lucked out to get the job here. Leicester were comprehensively a better team last night. Whatever happens we need to get someone in over the summer who values defence and fast attacking football. Tippy tappy is not the way to go and RM is leading us nowhere.

We'll win this one now because the pressure is off. Can't handle any pressure.

First and foremost the strikers need to take a hard look at themselves today. Had they done their jobs we would have won easily. They screwed up in the first half and then the team gave up in the 2nd. Whenever we look like we might be back in the race they collapse like a deck of cards. We need some stronger characters in the team. Mentally they are suspect. Oh well, at least we know it's definitely playoffs now.
