[Senior Vick from Alicante]

What do we have to do to get a penalty from a ref in this league, we weren't good but the decisions going against us are getting frustrating almost a bias.

[mmttww]

Im fucking done! Im fucking done with this season!

League leaders with 20 games to go and you're done?

 

[oscillatewildly]

No idea when we are actually going to get a penalty again at this point. Frustrating match deserved a draw minimum. Defence all over the place again which seems to happen when we switch up personale.

There’s clearly something going on with opposition being given a free card for deliberately fouling against us in the penalty area - The evidence is undeniable.

 

[Major Tom]

Any bobby thomas. c**t cost us that. Shit defending and then loses his head at the end

To be fair he brushed his hair and the player went down like he’d been shot.

He shouldnt have raised his hand.

 

[djr8369]

Kicked him then slapped him, deserved the red,

No contact it was bought by the play acting but he’s a fool for giving the ref a decision to make.

 

[long way home]

Thought ref had a decent game but ultimately cost us a pen that if he had a better view would of given.

Another bad day when i seen Milan and Rushworth have the worst games I've seen them have for us.

Thomas didn't touch the defender but you can't do what he did. He would of got away with the kick out but cant react the way he did.

 

[Nick]

He did, you can see his hair move as Thomas clipped him. He has also kicked out of him just before.

Yeah booking for the kick out.

Booking for their player as well.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

We didn't create that much really. None of our chances were of the quality of Birmingham's chances. Not once did we get the ball behind their back 4. We had twice the amount of changes yet our xG was only marginally bigger. 1.18 Vs 1.45

EMC was definitely a pen, but the the pull is on the shirt behind EMC blocking that from the ref. Poor decision from the ref.

We created more than enough openings and should have done better with the clear cut chances.

 

[procdoc]

We look half a yard off the pace. Almost as if half the team needed resting if we actually had a squad to do so

He had a great view of the pen shout.

Thomas didn't even complain, he nodded and walked off.

 

[Matt smith]

Absolutely done, we’ll be lucky to finish in the top six

 

[Paxman II]

I think y'all reacting over the top. We were clearly by far the better team that got caught out twice, which can happen. We dominated the possession with some 80% of the ball. We ran out of steam rather than bombarding their goal. Brum were there for the taking. Rudoni much better, Simms good and Eccles putting in a shift. We looked much more ourselves with the return of DaSilva, Thomas, Tats, etc. We may have overplayed a bit at times instead of being more direct which we were doing a lot of previously. I don't think we should be too worried. We seem to get muddled at the back too often and if anything, it's why we have lost games recently. At times it looks a bit of a shambles at the back. Kitch is good at losing his man and not seeing his blind side. Regardless we should have put this game to bed and didn't. I'm optimistic as we did dominate and are clearly a good side. Stupid of Thomas, guess Wolfenden comes back in. Missing the spark of Asante and today Torp would have got on the end of a few, but on to the next.

 

[Jamesimus]

Which is exactly what I’d want one of our players to do if the opposition raises their hands against them!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Thomas didn't even complain, he nodded and walked off.

Yeah he knew he had lost his head.

 

[SlovakSkyBlue]

Never thought I'd say this,

Bring back Thomas-asante now.

 

[jto123]

We’re not as good as pundits and fans think we are. Get ready for the play offs because that’s where we’re heading

 

[stupot07]

We created more than enough openings and should have done better with the clear cut chances.

Which clear-cut chances? We had 1 big chance, Kitchings header after 13 mins.

 

[MTK]

Still in a good position but boy are we putting pressure ourselves. Defensively shaky and poor decisions made all over the pitch. Simms not pulling that early ball back for Rudoni. Thomas at the end there. Their player made an absolute meal of it but why raise your hand at all? Hope reinforcements are incoming to provide quality options and pep up our play. I’m keeping faith but nerves are jangling a wee bit, not going to lie!

 

[mmttww]

Absolutely done, we’ll be lucky to finish in the top six

F*ck off and support Man City then. Pathetic stuff.

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

Those of us who weren't happy with our summer business were practically bullied on here but that defence and our subs bench is a disgrace.

If King doesn't spend big this month he should walk!

Agreed, we haven't created many clear chances for weeks, we've reverted to what we were at the end of last season, quite predictable.

But this is a consequence of a lack of bravery all round, lots of players content to play a square pass or receive a square ball.

 

[Nick]

It looked like he was stopping himself from killing people.

We're top of the league you clown

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

If only I'd set my alarm to put my ST on the exchange, maybe a single one of our back four might have made an iota of effort to stop their three goals

 

[quinn1971]

Bit of a rest now, get the new lads in and go again, if you’re losing you’re shit now I worry for you come April and we were never going to piss the league as some thought, big test coming up so let’s see what we’re made of

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Lack of ideas and lack of passion evident today I thought.

Things are slipping big time.

Don't agree with the passion bit. Ideas, maybe. Also hope Saka isn't too bad - awful challenge from that Wagner.

Yep, or the need to have 10 touches instead of moving the ball quickly.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

Ball watching defenders lost us that game .. oh and hadji wright just go play somewhere else please

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

We're top of the league you clown

We look terrible you blind clown!

 

[b12345]

Thank fuck 7th tier Dean Austin spent the summer getting the runaround off agents who wanted to drum up interest from elsewhere instead of bringing in quality depth!

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Please give Wright away to anyone who’ll pay more than £100
BTA is now crucial to our season and Doug needs to admit his mistake in not signing Bamford and put that right with a significant signing
Bamford would have scored 6-8 goals with the chances our forwards have missed
Frank must be spitting feathers, even thinking if he can work long term under Doug’s ways

 

[KAB]

Jesus fucking Christ they only managed 89 passes all game...

When did passes win games.

 

[DT-R]

It was obvious in the summer we'd fucked it up but because we had a storming start with a fresh squad people wouldn't have it.

A fair amount on here called how we were 2 or 3 signing short in the summer. They were called bedwetters by the majority. Were now 5 or 6 short.

Still, a small squad is the best for promotion as every player feels involved.....
