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.

I mean I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I have never known as many cast iron pens not be given... It's just becoming bizarre.

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!

And take the stadium with him

 

[covcity4life]

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

Think it's best to leave the mentally weak to panic right now. They are not gonna listen right now.

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

And take the stadium with him

I don't give a f*ck about the stadium if the owner isn't investing in the squad.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’ve tried keeping my positive hat on so far but this performance has blown a fuse. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Jamesimus]

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

Things are slipping big time.

Yeah 100% no lack of passion for me - maybe a little too much passion from Bobby

Can’t say they weren’t trying, but there’s certainly arguments to be had about the quality. Players like Rudoni, who wasn’t hiding and was at least getting on the ball, just lacking that end product.

I don’t even want to talk anymore about the defence today as that is plainly obvious.

[Ccfc_Addy]

I'm now convinced that short of taking down a player with the ball at their feet, absolutely anything is fair game in the penalty area. I need to see the replays but from where I was stood that non call for EMC was one of the worst decisions I've seen in my life

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

When did passes win games.

It doesnt, what it shows was they were more than happy to let us have the ball and just finish chances theg got from our errors

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Missing the energy BTA brings, he closes so much space down in the opponents half forcing silly passes or long balls. Hopefully he is back for Leicester.

 

[KAB]

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

It looked like he was patting him on the head.

 

[jordan210]

The ref gave them 3/4 fouls at corners or crosses for falling over.

emc tackled in the air nothing

 

[fernandopartridge]

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

He was rubbish, when was the last time he set up a chance?

 

[Shannerz]

Dissapointing as I felt we deserved a draw.

You can't give away goals like that and then say you deserve something out of the game. Not with a straight face.

 

[nicksar]

Not the result we hoped for... but worst case scenario we will still be 6 points clear at the end of today's games.
No need to panic just yet imo.

 

[Major Tom]

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

Doesn’t make it right, play acting is becoming a scourge on the game.

 

[shmmeee]

y'all

Get out and think about what you’ve done.

 

[Shannerz]

He was rubbish, when was the last time he set up a chance?

Today, for EMC.

 

[Major Tom]

It looked like he was patting him on the head.

 

[Marty]

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

Simms deciding to shoot when Rudoni was free on the edge of the box.

 

[stupot07]

He was rubbish, when was the last time he set up a chance?

Simms header the other week when the keeper saved it. The issue is not just Sakamoto but also EMC. Sakamoto xA 0.26 Vs EMC xA 0.01 today.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Rudoni has recently flattered to deceive

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'm going to to go against the grain and say BTA won't make much difference to us now.

Teams know how to play us by sitting deep and letting us play this ponderous passing game. BTA will just be denied space like the rest of them.

That's how bad today's result was. Embarrassing.

 

[Jamesimus]

Doesn’t make it right, play acting is becoming a scourge on the game.

By the letter of the law, he would have been sent off regardless of whether the player went down.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

It looked like he was stopping himself from killing people.

Shame he couldn’t just defend today like he’s meant to, was an embarrassment from start to finish

 

[Liquid Gold]

Simms deciding to shoot when Rudoni was free on the edge of the box.

Right decision, Rudoni would have passed it out for a Birmingham throw in.

It's Cov innit.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Ore defence today was shocking, absolutely shocking

 

[Marty]

Right decision, Rudoni would have passed it out for a Birmingham throw in.

Keeper had committed to closing Simms too. Very frustrating.

 

[jto123]

Think it's best to leave the mentally weak to panic right now. They are not gonna listen right now.

Urgh mentally weak. It’s not weak to call on the obvious that we should have pushed for more squad depth which is costing us now.

 

[Nick]

Rudoni has recently flattered to deceive

He just doesn't do the simple stuff. He tries to do stuff when there's no need.

He kicked the ball out about 5 times trying to do flicks.

Been saying it since he came back, he makes us worse and slows us down.

 

[Matt smith]

Wouldn’t mind a new proper first choice Centre back to be fair

 

[jay2015]

Unlucky today yes defending shit should had been 3-3 no way was that a foul should had pen think him was wanting to change shirt early Thomas can't blame him fighting passion for the club don't think it was a red card

 

[DT-R]

No, it can't.

How do you work that out?
We lost, leaving us on 52 points. Boro are on 43 points. A win today theyre on 46. 52 - 46 = 6.

So ill say it again, by the end of the day today, we could be down to a 6 point gap. 12 points down to 6.
