Oggy put the jinx on it during his commentary by earlier saying defenders get those fouls given 99 times out of a 100, even though they are buying them. Just our luck that we got that 1 time in a 100 against us at such a critical point in the match 😡

I didn't want MR gone either, and was frankly amazed how many on here were happy to get rid of him, given all he had achieved with us. Although it can't be proven either way, I'm also confident that under MR we would have accrued more points from the games played since he was sacked. Given his...

Was a bit surprised Lampard didn't make another substitution, particularly after they equalised. It was obvious then that the head of steam they had built up would result in at least one more chance, and a slowly taken substitution could have given our players a better chance to regroup and...

Ok, well I'm glad those that didn't want a cup run last season were disappointed, and hope that you/ they will be equally disappointed this season.

You are joking? There were plenty of posters on here saying the same this time last year (and every year for that matter) about concentrating on the league, and it strikes me that another cup run is just what we need to boost the morale of the players and supporters alike.

The keeper was stood upright and not in position to spread himself. If BTA hit the ball hard and low there's every chance it would have gone in. His other option was to take it round the keeper and possibly buy a penalty from the keeper or the retreating defenders, although I'm not sure BTA...

In terms of the rights and wrongs of selling Sheaf and/ or MVE now, I would only consider doing so if we received a ridiculously high bid. If estimates of £6m for MVE and £8m for Sheaf are correct I would rather hang on to the Summer. That would also allow us a bigger and better pool of players...

A lot of us believed this was our time at the start of the season. Much of that was due to the relegated sides seeming to be weaker than in other seasons, with only Leeds looking to be a definite contender. When we beat Everton comfortably just before the season started I allowed myself to...

Our points haul under Lampard is not as impressive as it first seems however, as he has had the kindest set of fixtures imaginable, and has gained less points from those games than most of us would have expected than if MR remained in charge. To be fair he could reverse that by winning at...

Selling MVE in the January window would be short sighted to me. Many of our supporters live in cuckoo land thinking it is easy to just pluck out a quality replacement (think Hamer). We need to bear in mind that his predecessors in this league were Dabo, Da Costa and Kane! If we need to sell I...

Mumba is ok going forward but EMC had him on toast whenever he had to defend so would be worried about that aspect of his game.

Well I guess you would have to factor in the air fare! If we want DK to keep prices low for similar games in future, then it really is up to our fans to turn up or else we can't really complain if he changes tack in future. Last season our fans did up for our cup games, so hopefully he will do...

He should have scored but even the best forwards miss 1 on 1's.

What does that even mean? This season has been a really strange one, and I believe our squad is far better than our league position indicates. It has felt like everytime we give a chance to the opposition that they score, and that in reality we are a much better team than the league table...

I'm not sure what you really expect. We are not in the market for finished products even if we are spending more on transfer fees, as any such players we might want will inevitably go to the PL or to an ex PL team who can outbid us in terms of wages. As such we are only ever going to be...

Rubbish!

Pretty much agree on all of that except for Davies not being deemed up to it, as he would have played in the play off final but for suspension. There's also a bit of revisionism here in respect of the 2nd leg of the Notts game by some posters. While I agree there were a couple of ref decisions...

Its a winnable home draw so I'm absolutely fine with it. I would have thought they would be more disappointed than us.

..... or even Colin Hendry, Arjan De Zeeuw etc before him. What happened to the Forest defender we were linked with in the Summer?

I appreciate I might be looking at this with Sky Blue specs but to me their forwards left foot looks closer to the goal line than Bassette's feet. Would like to see a side on angle ideally!
