[Sky Blue Pete]

We were excellent 15-40

Excellent? I know you are stupid but that’s on another level, we played ok not excelle

[StrettoBoy]

Bare is an understatement, we're a few injuries away from someone on here being called up!

It's a real worry. I've already cleaned my boots and given my phone number to FL just in case.

We are in real trouble if I get the call because I am 70, overweight, riddled with arthritis, very unfit and totally devoid of talent

Mind you, only a few weeks ago a few people on here would have selected me ahead of Simms

 

[SIR ERNIE]

We didn't create enough over the 90 but the fact remains that if the ref had done his job at 0-0 it would have been a very different game. One in which it would be difficult to see us losing.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Concentrate on the cup now

Nah.

It's far more important to concentrate on staying up.

 

[Matt smith]

I thought we played ok. Just a blip we bounce back I’m sure of it.

We should have been playing against 10

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Squad depth is the one thing that could possibly stop us this season. We just don’t have good enough cover in a few positions.

 

[shmmeee]

Lampard is right, it’s how we respond that matters.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Squad depth is the one thing that could possibly stop us this season. We just don’t have good enough cover in a few positions.

It’s the only thing, I think. But people need to learn not to overreact, the window opens in under a month and we aren’t going to blow our entire lead in that time.

We need to spend in January

I think we’ll bring in one marquee addition

love a box to box midfielder a wide player and a left back

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Same as the Wrexham game, injuries cost us, plus Rudoni not being match fit.

With our small squad we just knew it would catch up with us.

 

[pusbccfc]

Lampard is right, it’s how we respond that matters.

Lampard is right, the refs are shite!

 

[Macca]

I think the people who take a defeat like this badly are those with highest and perhaps the most unrealistic expectations. I still look at the table and see how far ahead we are of 7th because my objective for city every year these days is play offs

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Anyone know what is up with Torp?

Frank Lampard said illness.

 

[David O'Day]

Still 7 points clear fella

 

[Speedie's Head]

no, that's not true or by that logic it can't DOGSO if it is off centre.

a keeper is just the same as any other player outside the box.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Still 7 points clear fella

All that matters is the gap to 3rd place and every team can and will drop points and get injuries.

Sheff Utd and Norwich remembering how to play can only help us too.

 

[Speedie's Head]

Frank Lampard said illness.

A lot of flu around. Hope not because he was on the bus with the others there!

 

[David O'Day]

a keeper is just the same as any other player outside the box.

yes but when a keeper panics that the other team are about to get a good scoring chance and picks it up then it is by it's very nature DOGSO

 

[pusbccfc]

Rushworth would have been sent off for it.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

It wouldn’t be on the same scale money wise as the example but we need to go and drop proper money on a big PL loan or two like Villa did with Abraham to get over the line.

We’re probably as good as in the playoffs already so you will at least have the extra income from that to offset a bit should we not make top two. It would genuinely be mental from Doug not to throw a couple of million at such a glorious chance.

I would have some sympathy with a reluctance to sign permanent players in January, particularly when you can legitimately say we don’t know what league we’re buying players for. It isn’t the time for prospects ideally.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Course he books Grimes.

No worse than the one that happened earlier on Eccles.

Anyone know how many bookings Grimes is on now, I've lost count.

 

[ccfc1292]

Stewards were absolute Hilters apart from the Romanian girl who was wet

Also, home fans were appalling. Absolute dog shit in a proper ground.

 

[shmmeee]

Two

 

[Matt smith]

Two

At least we got no more

 

[Matt smith]

After 19 games it stretches to 10 so players on 4 won’t be suspended until 10

I think*

 

[shmmeee]

At least we got no more

Is it game 35 next and 10 cards or something?

 

[David O'Day]

Rushworth would have been sent off for it.

Probably would have been, before any one gets weird not saying the ref was crocked, it's just he clearly had decided that Ipswich being an ex PL would be less "dirty" on the pitch than us.

 

[Evo1883]

Cedric Kipre was bloody good for them today

 

[Matt smith]

Is it game 35 next and 10 cards or something?

February I think

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Cedric Kipre was bloody good for them today

Wasn’t put under anywhere near enough pressure, complete oaf on the ball.

 

[pusbccfc]

We'll get a decision soon.

 

[Matt smith]

Cedric Kipre was bloody good for them today

We just looked a bit desperate for the last 20/30 Bobby and kitch poor in possession

 

[David O'Day]

We'll get a decision soon.

probably after we've been relegated from the PL

 

[Evo1883]

Wasn’t put under anywhere near enough pressure, complete oaf on the ball.

Ah i was impressed with him defensively

 

[Matt smith]

Definitely want to see grimes Torp and Rudoni Tuesday need to play Rudi into form
