49,517 at Wembley today, quite impressive. We could have done with the dosh from a final if we had got through.

49,000 is a decent turnout at Wembley today, I’m assuming Luton would have had a fair few more than Stockport.

dought - I agree with your analysis there…

Russ to your point earlier ref Exeter, I have spent the whole afternoon analysing their remaining three fixtures and the bottom line is for differing reasons, all three of their opponents could have the pressure off themselves thus only cruising in these games……Stockport may be secured in the play off zone but with no chance of auto promotion, Burton could be safe from relegation, and Bradford the same as Stockport. These factors could give Exeter a glimmer of hope in each game.

Tottenham's run does put ours into perspective. We are in trouble because of a big injury list and a shallow squad due a lack of money. Spurs have a squad of internationals and have not won in 14. It is possible they do not win again this season which would be worse than our last relegation.

Not watching the game OI. But based on what you say, I assume the ref blew for a penalty but was overruled by VAR. In that case a drop ball is the correct restart. You'd only delay blowing for a penalty if there was still an immediate / imminent scoring opportunity.

Sorry to urinate on everyone's parade, but looking at Tottingham's remaining fixtures, they WON'T go down ;=(

Jersey boys win 1/0 yest so in the playoffs poor beckenham got relegated

Please be careful if you’re out and about late at night in Epsom - especially if you are female. Horrible event last night :-(

Oh yes, Trig.

Maybe TS can explain. I didn't think it was a penalty but I did think it was a corner rather than a dropped ball for Sunderland. Is rhe ref claiming he blew for the penalty before the ball went out, in which case he was far too quick to whistle?

Deffo Trigs!

Sunderland til full time anyone?

Is that Leatherhead guy really the goalkeeper (no gloves)? Maybe he was a defender falling as he tried to clear. It would raise the question about where the keeper was.

We played in yellow against Leatherhead. I think their goalkeeper is Swannell, who had a red jersey.

Other than the very soft long throw goal and the one they really should have scored I didn’t think we defended too badly yesterday. That was the only positive I could take though. Surely our best bet of getting any more points is to pack our final third and not take any risks. We looked totally impotent going forwards after about 20-25 minutes yesterday. Injuries, lethargy and no real plan combined to make that an easy clean sheet for Burton.

Need to get 2 of Johnson, Lewis & Bugiel back. Return of Browne & Tilley good news. Main diff between sides at Stockport was they took their chances and we didn't. Other stats level.

RK - I think you mean the volunteers' coach. After nearly three hours at M1 Northampton services (instead of the planned half hour) we came back on the replacement coach which Anderson's had fairly impressively sent up from London in less than two hours. Reached Tolworth at about 10.45pm, and I presume NPL about 11.15pm. At least we hadn't been stuck on the hard shoulder but were ijn the services; thank you to everyone on board for their patience.

Exeter won’t pick up two wins out of three so we basically need one point from three games. They are 1/3 odds to go down so statistically they are still very likely to get relegated despite our atrocious form.

"proper SW19 report", that is

Morning/afternoon all. Proper SW19 on losing at Burton now up - [Link]
