The Play Offs and US

[DoDTS]

So we missed out on the play offs, but last week 500 happy shrimpers didn't seem to unhappy about it, and 8,000 smiling faces yesterday certainly weren't showing the strain of a long season, and the Pubs around RH were full of merry Shrimpers.

So let's spare a thought for the four play off contenders, MK Dons, Leeds, Millwall and Scunny. Firstly they won't have been as relaxed as we were yesterday, they've got in all still to do.

Now three of those four clubs are going to be dissapointed, and I wonder if they will enjoy the day as we did at Donny. Leeds and Millwall deserve each other and when one gets put out by the other i somehow can't see the defeated side doing the conga. As for MK/Scunny whoever wins that has the prospect of facing Millwall or Leeds at Wembley.

While undoubtly we would willingly change places with any one of them, one way or another a lot of doom and gloom faces these four clubs, they could all learn a lot from us.

I want Leeds to go up. I just figure the league will be easier without them in it next year.

My pet theory/hope is that after this season, if they failed to go up, Leeds' best players (e.g. Beckford and Becchio) would run out of patience and move on meaning Leeds would have to do some serious rebuilding. That said, Simon Grayson is a very good manager.
