Getting a bit sick of hearing how the best side lost.

    Firstly you can't judge a side by one game. We finished higher than Swansea. Ok, by just one point but the season as a whole tells the true story.

    Secondly they played well and we didn't. We're far, far better than that when our wingers are on form. Devaney and Hayes didn't play anything like they can.

    Also to be "unlucky" with a miss you have to have beaten the keeper. Colgan (best Goalie in the division?) covered his goal well.

    It was obvious by the totally biased commentary on Sky that people believed the big-spending city club should go up but the media and the sore losers are talking crap. The best side won, tough titty.

    Well Said!

    The fact was Colgan had very little to do. They created openings, but put most of them over the bar!!

    We give 'em a goal, and still they aren't satisfied!!

    All the talk about number of shots - the vast majority of their shots were off target, I think the shots on target tally was fairly equal. We could have just hit from anywhere and been off target so we'd had more shots.
    Watching the recording it was a far more even game than I thought at the time….Reid could, and probably should, have won it in the last 5 mins for us.

    When it comes to penalties it's just a case of who holds their nerve, I felt Colgan would save at least one.

    For fecks sake - how can people call US lucky - we've conceded 4 goals in the playoffs, 3 of those we gifted, so if the opposition can't take advantage of that they only have themselves to blame.

    Anyway let the Swans console themselves that they were the better side when they are playing Cheltenham and Yeovil whilst we play Sunderland and Leeds!

    I've been on the receiving end of enough "you may have played better but you didn't score" arguments before so who bloody cares…..there's only one fact that matters - WE ARE CHAMPIONSHIP!

    Anyway I'm just waiting for the Huddersfield guy to moan that we shouldn't have had those 4 penalties!

    Disagree entirely

    Just to keep up my record of always disaggreeing with you Windy I think we should forfeit the match and let the taffs have our promotion spot.  I am sure that had the situation been reversed they would graciously do the same.</p>



    Seriously though I reckon they thought they were playing rugby with the amount they put over the bar, but obviously we only score lucky goals and our opponebts score crackers like the two Huddersfield put past us and the stunning second goal on saturday.  All our penalties were lucky whereas theirs were unlucky.</p>



    Their POTY Tate conceded the free kick Nards scored from, missed a sitter in the last minute and then fluffed a penalty, methinks they should be blaming him not trying to make out they were the best team!</p>



    You're still wrong though.</p>

    [​IMG]Don't worry about it, I would rather be the worst side and win, then the best side and lose.
