Tresor actually had more touches in added time than any player on the pitch apart from Dunk.

Agree entirely with this. Managed to watch it back now and cannot work out for the life of me why that wasn’t given or how Bellamy could be okay with it.

Re: Finishing above Forest
The bigger issue is do we choose to try to relegate them in the final game or do we let Luton come down with us?
Personally, I’d take Forest, payback for the owner and well deserved for Luton. No guarantee they will romp the Championship next season. They lose Gibbs White and Akinyi for a start.

We do of course long for Heaton and Pope again, but they were incapable of playing the way we play (and City etc play). The fast distribution, the high defence and sweeper keeper.
I’m not convinced having them in our goal this season would have saved us.

25 points from winning positions, and 15 points by my tally cost us by officials (some points probably double counted in that).
That would have us level with the Champions League places
I am of course being ironic but we can all see how this season could have been very different.
