Review:
Seriously? Seriously? After spending a season looking the playoffs in the face, we lose out in the last 15 minutes of the season. We only needed ONE point in the last three games. We only needed to not allow Swansea City (in 7th place) to turn around a FIVE goal difference. Then we lost 4-1 and they won 4-1 so we lose out on the playoffs by a single goal. Would it have made a difference if we got into the playoffs? Probably not. We would have been as dismal as we have been the last few games and threw it away anyway, but for us to be SO lax in the lead up to this and then to let in FOUR goals? Come on.

Due to coronavirus, the game was played behind closed doors so the official attendance was zero
