So close

Before the game I was sure Leeds would win but heartbreaking to be that close.

Brilliant season. 100 points is exceptional. Which of the 0-0 draws was the most frustrating? Which one should have won us the title?
Derby at home for me.

No cigar and also no point banging on about which nil nil draw we should have won whilst the team was developing. Ultimately Leeds had a far less destructive pre season but we are the better team now as is proven by form in the second half of the season where we have caught up and been unbeaten since November.

Our performances since Derby 0-0 have been incredible. We did everything possible to be Champs but lets give credit to Leeds. They are a hell of a potent Championship side and season end tables don't tend to lie. Imagine how Sheff Utd are feeling knowing they have a potential 3 tough games. I keep reminding myself that could be us. Very proud of our club, the Chairman , manager and team

Off the last 15-20 games we are a better team than Leeds now. They have been the best team over the season

An excellent season overall, coming up short doesn't mar it in any way. The adversity SP has had to overcome makes it remarkable. It's a shame for the players who deserved a title, but when the dust settles I hope they can appreciate how good they've been.

You can’t help be a little disappointed get to 100 points yet still not win the league and it was a little anti climatic find out Leeds had scored just before Josh put that free kick away

Watched the last 20 minutes of the Leeds game. There was no way they weren’t winning that. They were pretty much camping the Plymouth box the whole time and the ref was giving them everything.

Fantastic season, well done everyone.

We lost the title by 1 goal. We needed to score 1 more goal in our home game against Leeds.

A great season and just one of our draws turned into a win and we would have pipped Leeds
Still onwards and upwards a great close season beckons unlike last year's debacle

Funniest thing about today is the schtick us BFC fans are getting about celebrating promotion back to the Prem from fans of teams that have been sh!te all season (and/or failed to make the play-offs or staved off relegation by the skin of their teeth) as if they wouldn't be doing exactly that.

Its been a helluva season tbf ups and downs culminating in promotion ...
