    Absolutely was a lack of finishing - although we conceded 4 goals over the tie. We have seen similar this season - dominate teams but they sit tight and we don't seem to have the energy or the ability to score the all important goal..

    Fatigue - both mental and physical.. which makes sense when you look at how we have played over the last few years with a relatively small squad.

    We can't forget the toll it takes winning all though nail biting games - gritty performances but the effort is huge.

Sometimes its hard to accept that someone is so bad that have cost you.
    Adrian was terrible in the semi-final and been pretty poor since. in the chances he's had. Obviously Allison hasnt been great himself in recent weeks.But you know theres a standard between him and the likes of Adrian. One is an excellent keeper and the other isn't on the same level.

    Why blame the goalie?
    Why not the missed chances or lack of chances created or misplaced passes leading to the goals?
    It is a team effort.

    I see 17 year old Harvey Elliott dispensed with the usual assist this evening and went for scoring a goal himself instead.

    👶 “No player aged 23 and under has had a direct hand in more goals than Harvey Elliott (14 - 5 goals, 9 assists) in the Championship this season “

    He’s still 17 til April

    We’ll probably let him go like a lot of our loaned players.

    When was the last loaned out player that made it here?

    Watching Rangers at the moment. First time i have really looked at them. I know they have done well under Gerrard, but the standard looks really poor. I think they would get murdered by any first rate team.
    Am I wrong?
