Your club gets shots on target, sometimes they can get goals. Who knew? A secret for too long!

[WestYorksRoyal]

Where has Camara been all season? Injuries?

[Sutekh]

And Pereira costs Reading 16th place

[Sutekh]

Blackpool blow it, if they'd won they'd have been in the POs

Play off games:

Bolton v Barnsley
Peterborough v Oxford

Derby promoted, Cheltenham relegated.

Pereira's ragged distribution is the worst thing about his game, but that was just painful to watch. If he's ever going to have a chance, surely it's CBC's turn next season?

Can't believe he wasn't subbed he was obviously injured didn't kick the ball second half

[Loafer]

Was anybody else at the game?

Hopefully Peterborough v Bolton final. Bolton the best team I've seen this season, so could do with them going up.

The goal wasn’t even ragged distribution

Did he not see the guy in orange ?

Excellent performance from the lads - fully deserved the win against a mediocre Blackpool side

Missed the first Blackpool goal but we seemed well in control generally, esp second half

Ridiculous 2nd Blackpool goal but JP made a very good save first half

Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and a nice way to end the season

[Snowflake Royal]

Well that was fun.

My arse was C1871 sold out though. 50 - 100 seats looked available. Grrr could have been in there rather than snoozeville Y23.

Good game. Awful start with very lacklustre defending. But we were the better team and could have scored 4/5 in the end.

Kelvin did some decent defensive work and looked a threat but his final ball was poor and the ball bounced off him too much. Characterised by his two abysmal crosses before coming off.

I wish someone would teach, particularly our backline, how to time a jump. They're always well into the downward arc as it often sails over their heads.

But very determined performance. Very slick and Knibbs was everywhere.

Elliott had some really good stuff but at times was too easily pushed off the ball.

They clearly targeted RB, with constant overloads that caused issues. But our pace and skill always looked a threat. I'd like us to play shorter through the middle more though, went long unnecessarily a few times.

Dorsett struggled a bit but grew into the game.

Camara essentially set up two goals, but I was willing him to shoot both times when he seemed to have no confidence to do that. But it worked!

Overall very good, nothing to say about the miss of 16th

And it speaks volumes that Holmes and Selles haven't always had a good relationship, yet Reuben made the completely unnecessary effort to give him a bow. Class. And so many of the squad were really driving Holmes to get recognition from the fans. Especially Knibbs who is new to the club. Absolutely phenomenal team spirit.

And Mbengue. What a maniac. Hard not to have a song in your heart with this guy around. Fast becoming a legend.

Voted Bindon PotS, but well done to Wing, last few games he really cemented his value.

[Royal_jimmy]

Hopefully we can keep most of the squad as I fancy them to improve next year. Also bond so well with the fans too.

Playoff challenge next season please
