With all that's gone on since the last game of the season has it taken the shine or dulled the memory of what to me has been a fantastic season. I did not expect 4th place pre-season although I HOPED for promotion either straight up or through the play offs.

Has the last three weeks soured it for you?

Enjoy it - Very much so.

The league campaign was great, just a disappointing playoff tournament at the end.

A great season. Enjoyed away trips especially Cardiff, Birmingham and Forest.

Absolutely bloody loved it. Can't wait to get back there, regardless of what players and manager we have. Brighton and Hove Albion have been through much, much worse times than this.

We finished 4th FFS!

Seeing us fourth in the table at the end of the season is amazing, but there were quite a few slip-ups on the way and, obviously, at the end. However, i never want to see a perfect season - as long as we have something better to aim at, i have something to keep me enthralled, even though it may be painful at times.

The fact that it was a great season goes without saying but I can't shake off the final outcome. Losing to Palace was bad. Losing to Palace to extinguish our promotion hopes was horrible. Gus seemingly throwing his toys out of the pram within minutes of the defeat was awful and then Palace going and getting themselves promoted just seemed to downgrade our best season in 30 years.

In conclusion, the playoffs were the footballing equivalent of finding a flaming bag of poop on your doorstep at the end of a lovely day.

Need an option for yes apart from the last 90 minutes surely?

We were placed higher than I expected. I was constantly surprised by results from this most competitive of leagues and having got over the initial disappointment am looking forward to more of the same this season. I think I'd have been dreading a regular thumping each week had we gone up!

I couldn't give much of a rat's winkle over the Palace result. A briefly hurtful end, but one can take defeat even to arch nemeses as there'll always be another round to come. I thought it a fantastic season with some mostly nonstop excellence by a squad that seemed to double in quality from the one the year before. Such class I have never witnessed. My blues purely stem from the disappearance of the main man that made it so. For me, without an imaginable future with a wacky blabbermouthing puppetmaster at the helm, the past has slightly been replaced by this currently interminable cloud of uncertainty that deletes reminiscence and dulls platinum-laced memories. When this black spell passes I'll tie the extraordinary gone with the mindblowingly spectacular to follow though
In direct response to the question about the season itself, it was ruddy first rate and I'll fully rejoice it again with pride soon.

If you didn't enjoy the ups and downs of last season is question why you turn up.

It was only the last 45 minutes of the season that let us down.

It was great. The last game ruined it. Otherwise we should be proud of the season.

Yeah, enjoyed it. Weird feeling though, I think I'd've rather finished 7th than lost to Palace in the play offs.

I just remember the post-Wolves-match disk-jockeying in the North Stand, everybody buzzing and smiling and thinking what a fantastic time and place to be. That was the high point for me and it felt like Summer. That's how I'll mainly remember the season, with a smile. The play-off second leg and all the shitty aftermath just seems like a hideous aberration that had nothing to do with the season that went before it. IMHO, like.
