Tonight we played well and there is no doubt we should have won that game.
Yet today was different!</p>

<p><b>Has </b>been the argument in the past, but every time in the past we have failed to turn up and not looked half the side we have been capable of being.</p>

<p>Tonight we played well and there is no doubt we should have won that game. We just didn't get the rub of the green. I don't think today had anything to do with the big crowd/important game syndrome. I really don't.
This is a myth, most the games we get big crowds are against teams that should bet us!
I seem to remember us winning 1-0 v Wolves in front of 28k 1 yer.
I think today was part of the 4-4-2 curse, another home loss playing 4-4-2, by the way, has 'busted' another myth!
So fucking pissed off!

Define played well?
If I was a Crewe fan I would be extremely pleased with how they played tonight. Solid defence & took their chances.
Football is a simple game, score more than the opposition, which Crewe did very effectively. No points in football for lots of chances.
But my point is, every other time we have played poorly and not turned up. Today we did. Today we played well.
Big difference.
The other occasions we just have been lacklustre and not played to our potential. Today was nearly all about ill luck.
Because it is such fine margins and football in a lot of ways is not quite so simple.
We play well and lose and people say we were shite. We play badly and win and everyone's happy.
Had 3 of those chances gone in and we had won, but played exactly the same way everyone would have been saying how well we played.
Well just cos they didn't go in doesn't mean we played poorly.
I came away tonight and thought we played well but just had ill luck and a keeper of theirs in stunning form.
That was the difference. We should have quite clearly won that game by at least 3 clear goals.

That's the power of scorelines though Otis-and seeing that one tonight makes me cringe just looking at it, let alone the folk who actually went and aren't among the regulars.
Nail. Head.
Fans from previous years (not marinated in the #IWillBeThere hype or even following the City too closely this or many previous seasons) will see the scoreline in the paper or on SSN and think "typical Cov, they've fooked it up again."
I mean, City 0 vs 3 Crewe - seriously?!!!? Their home record is actually very decent so I bet they would have been very happy with a draw. 3-0 lead? Dreamland for them.
Spot on Cable Guy. These "real" fans really make me laugh. They moan when people don't come, and when they do they call them plastic!
Face facts - without the "plastic" fans, cov will NEVER escape this league.
To anyone still questioning the impact of DM, just look how many shots were taken by cov. Utterly pointless having 20+ shots if NONE hit the back of the net!
Crewe 7 shots - 3 goals.
Cov getting promotion?
NOT A CHANCE...
Cov improved under Robins?
Got to be Joking
Goalscoring halved since McGoldrick left. PROOF if more proof were needed that the teams "improvement" was down to the performance of one man. And when it is down to one man's performance you CANNOT claim the team has improved!

Rumour has it that if you stand in front of the mirror and say 'City lost' 3 times, you can hear psgm cry 'Robins out' in the far distance.
