@MHaworthBRFC That’s the one

I used to serve Adam Wharton’s mum and dad in the local village pub. Like to think of it as a small but nevertheless important part of his journey.

Just pause it… there

@ChrisMartin_93 Can’t believe they named a volcano after what I say when I stub my toe

That’s an incredible job by Michael O’Neill and the players available. Lots to learn from over the summer but if O’Neill stays there’s a chance to build on this.

Liam Rosenior fired 106 days into a 2,372-day contract. That’s some impressive level of forward planning.

[Matthew Stanger @MatthewStanger]

@SamLee You won though?

Antonin Kinsky looks like a minor two-episode story arc character in The Sopranos who’s given the job of stealing a truck full of deli hams but tries to keep some of the haul for himself, ultimately getting his comeuppance

We’ve done alright there but there is also the strong impression that we look like a plucky League Two side making a game of it against Championship opposition. Just zero quality where it matters.

Hold me closer Kevin Danso

@MikeyDelap He’s been superb. If we stay up he’ll have played a bigger role than anyone in the run-in.

@BenCrellin Your move @danielstorey85

Keep getting flashbacks to before the game yesterday, having a pint next to a table of Spanish fellas all wearing Arsenal goalkeeper shirts with “Kepa” on the back. Felt like an omen at the time, wonder how the rest of their day went…

Celebrations where everyone just runs everywhere are unbeatable

Last year Forshaw looked like our least capable player but a decent older head to have in the squad. Now he’s our best player by some distance. That tells you everything.

[Matthew Stanger @MatthewStanger]

@_ElliottJackson Reinforces what O’Neill thinks about the squad, quality just isn’t there to make us competitive

[Matthew Stanger @MatthewStanger]

@MikeyDelap If we win on Wednesday it’s quickly forgotten; if we don’t we’ll probably look back on these two games as the performances that sent us down
