Cardiff City 0 - 2 Feyenoord

A cautiously played match at both ends of the pitch with visitors slipping two past keeper R_Allsop. The match winner came in the 17th minute of the first half when Q_Timber curled one into the net. O_Idrissi’s header in the 66th , minute of the second half was Feyenoords insurance goal. Slight edge in stats for the visitors, 53% ball possession and 9 shots on target to 7.

Performance review: Manager Buck took the helm on match day 20 and managed a total of 19 matches. After a rather dismal start (a baptism by fire...of sorts), the rookie manager was able to find his niche
just a few matches into his tenure. Posting a modest record of 10 wins, 4 draws and 5 loses for his inaugural FFO season.

Cheers Travis - you have been a good addition and excited to see how you do next season. Please bare with me during the close season - will be things to do and tasks to perform but this next few weeks is a huge undertaking for me to get everything ready to go

Celtic 2-1 West Brom

Celtic Promoted to EFL

"Its been a great season for us, when we stuttered around a third of the way into the season it was looking like another tear it up and back to the drawing board sort of situation, we woke up and started chasing teams down but PSV were on a run thats only dreamed about in fairytales, that run alone should of been enough for PSV to gain promotion, they amassed and 8 point gap and i couldnt see them losing 3 more games than us in the final 10 games... even with 5 to go we looked too far apart... im very proud of the achievement to be honest, next season will be very tough with a lot of the beatable teams being relegated, due to that though it will make the second tier extremely difficult also next season and I came to the conclusion last night that you should never not want to get promoted, so a promotion and the DBC cup is arguably my best season in 23 that ive played.

"With the crowd aware that PSV were winning and us losing it looked like we were going to give it up at the final hurdle, we have had a couple of poor displays recently and i just thought without one of our top performers in Balogun this season, we just might not get over the line, luckily Julian Alvarez was the hero again as he scored and played a part in the winner, hes been an absolute revelation these last 5 games, he was big in the final of the DBC and hes notched 5 goals in his last 5 games with 2 assists to lead the team to promotion, we turned the game round and won 2-1 and the final whistle couldnt come soon enough, the fans deserve this after the trials and tribulations they have been through, its great to be back in the big time."

"Finally commiserations to Neil, I know he will put on a brave face but I imagine 5/6 games ago he thought he had probably done enough, Ive never seen a run as good as the one they went on, Im sure he will be glad to see the back of us this season, but I fully expect with the team he has which is as equally strong as ours that they will look to win it all next season."

Nottingham Forest 3 - 0 Ajax

A clear 3-0 win over Ajax, with goals from Boscagli, new 21 rated striker Richarlison and 18-17 dynamo R_Faivre. Forest finish the season in 10th place which is a good achievement saying the club was rooted to the bottom of the conference when I took over caretaker duties. We also finish above Cardiff which is nice.

I believe the club will either be getting a new manager or being wound up at the end of the season in the new shake up so I won't be doing any further transfer work with this team and will therefore today step down as caretaker having fulfilled my duties successfully.

Norwich City 2-4 Villarreal

My final game for Villarreal and it was a fine win on the road. Both sides created plenty of goal scoring opportunities but it was my lads that was the more clinical in finding the back of the net. At one stage we was four goals to the good but two late goals for the home team gave the score line some respectability from their point of view.

Good luck to Villarreal with whatever the future holds for them

Luton Town 1 - Sunderland 2

We finish the season in a similar fashion to the way we started it, with a whimper. Sunderland travelled to Kenilworth Road knowing that whatever the result they would be finishing bottom of the conference table, while Luton could get three points to move to a mid-table position.

We were favourites to finish in the bottom 3 of the competition so anything above that has to be looked at as a bonus, the squad has improved over the season with key signings in goal, defence and midfield to a point where we can be competitive next season with a little further improvement in pre season.

In general we've kept things tight this season - only 1 team outside the top 3 has conceded fewer than we have, however we've only had 1 player get into double figures for goals this season and that is where our problem has been.

Thanks as ever to JB for running the games, hopefully I'll be back at Luton next season to push us on in our second season.

PSV 2-0 Betis

Nice to finish the season with a dominant home performance, and Nunez amongst the goals.
It was not to be in terms of promotion, but I enjoyed the ride, it's been a good season overall, with a cup semi too.
If just one of the recent games that we lost against the run of play had gone our way it would have been a different outcome, but that's the game for you.
Well done to Tim and Sam, deserved top two, and thanks JB for running the games
