We were safe weeks ago, and that partly explains the performance against a team who we've already beaten and drawn with this season but were obviously far hungrier and mentally switched on tonight.
We were also lacking in character/experience, lightweight and badly set up.
Some of that is Ryan Lowe's fault. He's not entirely to blame. You could say that about the more disappointing aspects of the season as a whole.
The obvious example is the decision to can two experienced defenders in January and rely on young players with no back up, which has probably cost us points over the second half of the season but makes financial sense in the long-term. Whether it was the right or wrong decision, I doubt it was one that Lowe took without input from those higher-up.
He's made mistakes, but it would be ludicrous to sack every manager that does, and we'd be doing it every few weeks.
With a bit of a rest, our younger players will come back stronger next season. But it is clearly going to be a big summer that will require us to get several big decisions right in terms of recruitment
