    I was on a massive high on Saturday at 5pm, you can't find better scripts in every episode of Corry and Enders rolled into one. Shakespeare, Moliere and Oscar Wilde between them could not rustle up a drama like it.

    All the dweebs who left before the end - why? Its expensive enough, you should at least see all of it and find out the full story. What complete losers.

    I think Preston played the better football overall, but we played the ugly football better - we got in tackles and blocks when it counted, hoofed the ball when we had to (although Toggers was hoofing it when he didn't have to) and played simple when we had to. We should have had a few more goals, we made plenty of chances, but a lack of composure and some Preston blocks meant we were hanging on nervously, but then, that's what made for a great ending.

    Who chose Souza for MoM? Even before the penalty save it was Muller all the way, three top class saves kept us in the game, the penalty save gave us all three points.

    Well played lads, great spirit, good hard work and hopefully we can put in a Bristol City type game tonight.

    You're right about Preston's football, and sadly that's why irrespective of results and league positions, the crowds will not come back until Davey produces teams that play football, as it should be played. on a regular basis.

    Completely agree, these who will just watch the game in a pub or at home are just lazy.

    Other teams don’t really suffer crowd wise when the on TV and I thought the turn out at Hull was shocking and well done to all those who went. Why should we get less backing in the ground just because it’s on Sky?

    I find it very poor that we are currently mid table in the Championship and the crowds are what they are.

    You can mention the type of football we play but the likes of Burnley, Plymouth, QPR and maybe even Stoke play far worse stuff and they get better crowds. Why do we have to be playing like Brazil to get the fans in.

    And the booing for Odejayi on Saturday was a disgrace.

    Supporters should go whatever we play like, during the good run we had a decent atmosphere in the ground then against Burnley suddenly it was like as though we only had the turn up to win and there was a serious lack of backing.

    I once heard Paul Merson and someone else say on Soccer Saturday that as a player they would be really up for it but than ran onto the pitch and see a low crowd and just get a few clap then think why do we bother.

    If we want to keep the likes of Howard, Muller and whoever. Lets show that we want to move to move the club on as much as they do,before they start thinking the grass could be greener somewhere where a club has a chance of going up and get decent crowds. Somewhere like Wolves for example.

    Sorry mate but,

    1. hmmmm. &pound;20 or nowt, why is that lazy ?</p>

    2. league position, crowds in 96/97 were not great.</p>

    3. style of football, refer to point 2.</p>

    4. Booing of Odejayi... I agree 100%</p>

    5. supporters should go whatever we play like... sorry mate but why should they fork out hard earned to watch dross. I'm a ST holder and have been since 95/96 haqve watched them since 1975, but sometimes I wonder why I go.</p>

    We are not Wolves, West Brom or Souhampton and I actually believe that if we got into the Premier league the ground wouldn't be full except for games against the top clubs.</p>

    Oh Rosco had it nailed on, the last minute save, the last minute goal , the great performance against a local rival, the rumours going around the ground that Leeds were down.... Drama , that's why I go.. but it only happens once a flood !!</p>

    </p>

    RE: Sorry mate but,

    RE. 4. 100% agree with booing of odejayi


    What the **** do you think it achieves other than knocking what little confidence he has left in him?

    (wnkr)

    Some of our fans really are complete morons.
