In 64 years of supporting the os only the 6th round cup defeat against port vale when we played the whole game in and around their penalty box, hitting the woodwork 3 times , and having sound penalty claims including one where their defender dived full length and pushed a shot over the bar, denied, and the failure the beat Aston Villa in the final match , which deprived us promotion to the top flight on goal average brought more pain than yesterday.
Yes, I sat through the disappointment of our two previous play off defeats , but the truth was that on both occasions the better team won.
Yesterday was different, we were two up after 55 mins , and for me the fat lady had done her singing.
Then the game was turned on its head by jones rash decision , and not getting to the ball , and then arch villain Ravells wonder strike.
But that was not enough , with us 3-2 up all we had to do was match rotherhams next 2 penalties and we were up.
Now the big worry is that we will lose our best players, odabayo, cox, vincelot pre season and we will be back to fighting relegation.
