As a Wycombe fan I watched the game and thought it was a great advert for League 2, Burton have done wonderfully well this season and I for one was cheering you on in this game, Bradford are the 'complete' League 2 side in the play-offs and they will win at Wembley in my opinion. Well played Burton

Great game which was won off the pitch. Nick Allamby City's fitness coach got Reid patched up to play.

In his desire to stop James Hanson GR forgot how lethal Nahki Wells can be against slower central defenders.

The Burton Albion "Road to Wembley" scarves on your official website provided extra motivation.

So it all ends.

Beaten by the better side on the day. Looked a bit out of our depth after half time.

But let's not forget, best season ever. Lots of memorable highlights. The best home record in the league (excluding today, which was more of a cup tie).

Probably the last we will see of Mags and Calvin but a strong nucleus for next year with Jack, Billy, Jimmy, Robbie, Zander (I think?), Damo, Bob, Deano, Belly and Tommo all signed up.

Pato deserves longer and it could be the year that Matty Palmer steps up. Sharpsy may get a near now that it's league two but wouldn't expect to see the other loanees again.

Probaly the end of the line for the rest of the out of contract contingent (Ronnie, Yussef, Stanno, Aaron, Macca)

But I trust in Rowett and Summerfield to soon get cracking and make sure that the gaps are filled.

Remember, defeat at Cambridge was the spur to make sure twelve months later.

As for next year, what about ex Ram Paul Connolly? Specialist right back, released by Leeds.

Hamza Bencharif let go by Notts County has always looked good when he's played at the Pirelli.

Tom Craddock - second top scorer for Oxford?

Any more we should be looking at?

maybe its fair over the two games but season after season we see teams in all leagues,just like burton albion who graft all season for 46 games and win what should be an automatic promotion only so be robbed by a two or three game lottery,the playoffs may add end of season excitment but in fairness to the club in the top playoff spot they should be scrapped

Gutted got it all wrong today.

Should have gone 442 and taken the game to Bradford. They are no more than an above average L2 side and we let them dictate for large parts of the game.

Marcus blew the first goal. Ok, these things happen but GR should have changed it immediately and gone two up front. Calvin was knackered by the time Billy came on.

Criminal to bring on Symes who is no more than a L2 donkey. Criminal not to bring Pato on who has won us more games from the bench than any other player.

Someone explain Phillips to me? Just don't see anything there - one good game in three years is awful.

That all said, a magnificent season, but so disappointing for it to end so near yet so far.

I watched the game not really rooting for either side, or maybe only favouring Bradford on the grounds that they are a Yorkshire club.

As mentioned above it was a fantastic advert for Divison 2 - both sides wanting the win. Honest endeavour, and skilful play from both sides - it was 10 times more exciting than either of the Premiership games on tv today.

Real football

Best of luck next season.

Formation wrong,playing Macca stupid even York tossed him back and i can see why.Bradford are nothing special in my opinion and we didnt show anything to threaten an average defence.I hope Bradford dont win the final because to me they will not do anything in league 1 they are not good enough.The remaining semi for me holds the winners and i hope its Cheltenham for me the complete outfit.Thanks to Gaz for a fantastic season even though we were unsure of him and lets hope we go on next season and assemble a squad to compete in the top half of the league.

Never mind eh! The better team won on the day. Sometimes you have to hold your hands up and accept it.

After the game I went to the away end, shook hands with and congratulated those who had travelled. It seemed like the right thing to do. They beat us fair and square.

Had we been robbed by bad officials or bad sportsmanship by them, I may not have been so noble and magnanimous. But they beat us fair and square.

I feel exactly the same as I did after that Cambridge game. On that evening, like today, I feel proud of the team and what has been achieved this season. I am also optimistic about next season.

A lot was wrong about today but I feel that this is not the time to be criticical about anything. I just hope that I don't start ranting on here in the next 48 hours !

My biggest upset and concern at the moment is wondering how I am going to get through the next few months without football.

Dissapointing day for all Albion faithfulls , i feared that might happen to us today if they got back into the game . The Holness error was unfortunate ,but he did something similar up at Bradford . Calvin looked a shadow of the player from the other night , Macca im afraid has played his last ompetitive game in a brewers shirt , sad but fact ,Arron was close to tears when being interviewed at the end of the match ,he too has been a wonderful servant along with Corbett .We have to lick our wounds and celebrate a great campaign ,i suspect we will still be competing against Bradford next season ,as i fancy Northampton to be triumphant at Wembley .Thanks Otep for your contributions ive enjoyed the league battle although forgot today i would have gone 2-1 to Bradford just for the record.

Just about over it now I've had a few beers!

Congratulations to Bradford and best of luck at Wembley I so hope they beat the Boothroyd hoof it academy!!

Agree with most of what has been said. They changed players and formation, we didn't. Calv had no one to help him and it really showed. Brought Billy on too late and why Paterson never got on I will never know - he has been our one shining star from the subs this season and it wouldn't surprise me if he packed his bags and buggered off now.

The players will pack their bags now - it has been a fantastic season and we deserved more than the cruelty of losing the semi - who will go? probably most of them, good luck to you all it has been a pleasure watching you this year.

Will Rowett stay?

It's easy to be magnanimous in victory but I am sincerely disappointed that you didn't get the 3rd promotion place ahead of Rotherham.

I have enjoyed reading and sharing comments with you and wish both our clubs success in the future whichever division we are in.

My only gripe is with posters who make derogatory comments about the Bradford City squad. The names of the players who have created history, by being the first 4th division club to appear in a major domestic cup final at Wembley followed returning for the play offs will be etched in the memories of supporters for years to come.

Enjoy your summer break.

As I said a few months ago EB, that night when you beat the V***a was a special one for me. Heading towards a hotel in Manchester on work business I drove round and round the city centre slowly just to listen to the commentary. I then sat in the car park of the hotel listening to the interview and aftermath. I haven't and won't forget that either. I hate V***a.

I also hope that you beat Northampton aswell. I don't like the brand of Boothroyd football.

There is another reason why I hope that you go up. Someone else mentioned it recently. That 'Claret and Amber Song' is truly hideous. (It is on You Tube if anyone wants to listen).

If I do have to go to Valley Parade again next season I shall have to turn up 2 minutes after kick off.

Otep
Thanks for your good wishes, this is what the Premier League "fans" and media pundits don't understand. We're not all interested in Fergie, Arry, Rafa and their overpaid mercenaries.

At the start of the season everyone cringed when that song was played. It was written and sung by a blind supporter and the chairman decided to give it a go. I suppose it's been a lucky omen but, because it's so long and no one can remember the words, the crowd doesn't join in. However, during the last few matches even old fogies like me have sung along to "Take me home to the Valley etc." The players believe that our support has helped them over the line.

Tickets, travel and hotel booked and now I just hope Northampton's long throw tactics don't work on the 18th.

All the best
