My overriding memory of that season was Holloway joining in and waving his trainers at Sheffield Utd. At that point, there was no coming back. Stoke just dotted the ‘I’s and crossed the T’s’

I remember being in the away end thinking what a feckin clown 🤡!!
 
A win at Stoke would have kept us up - Cov lost 0-4 ( I think) at Charlton.
The Cov caants were shitting themselves that we might score at Stoke.

We were already down. We drew there which in itself was a good result.

Was it fuck as like. Whilst I was resigned to relegation following the Sheff Weds game, a win at Stoke would have kept us up. Before the game they needed a draw (in the end not necessary) and we obliged by spending most of the game playing for one.

They'd have been more relaxed had they been watching our game. One late chance apart it was abject.
 
I may have mentioned this before.
I won £1600 on that game.
I walked out of QPR at half time on New Years Day when we were 0-2 down.
Popped into Jennings Racing on the way to the tube. Had £200 Winter Fuel Allowance @ 8/1 on relegation.

Stoke were going for the league title and we stopped them getting that. We were shit and realistically we’re never going to get anything there. That we got a point was decent but the damage was already done against Colchester as much as against Sheffield Wednesday.

And that was precisely Holloway's thinking: go there, hope to get a point and that Southampton would lose. Decent result that. No chance of anything better at high flying Stoke. I mean it's not like a couple of changes aside (hello Harry Worley!) the same team could have beaten the eventual champions 4-1 on their own turf only a few week earlier. Anyway, before I burst a blood vessel recalling the horror of it all...

Whilst already convinced we would not survive the drop & knowing we were indeed shit, I was then as I remain now utterly disgusted by the approach on that day. It needed bravery and instead all we showed was the same timidity and cluelessness that had got us into the situation in the first place.

That’s something else altogether. Plenty of times we’ve needed bravery and a bit of intent and had the opposite. Last season on several occasions.

Of course but we're not talking about last season are we, we are talking about whether going to Stoke on the last game of the 2007/08 season and playing for & getting a draw represented a good result.

I've walked out at half time on three occasions* and that QPR game was the first. The sense of foreboding and helplessness was too oppressive - you just sensed that something terrible was coming that season.

*The other two being Reading away in 2011 under Sven and in Porto.
 
What about the defensive master tactician the Dago Poof caaant? Brief stay but worthy of a mention. "Milans coming home..."
