Those of us who were nervous, had every right to be nervous today.

Could see a defeat coming this afternoon.

Though, EMC was denied an obvious penalty. This can't keep happening. So many penalty decisions going against us.

Youre opening yourself up here for ridicule arent you , at worst 6 clear of 3rd still

We were always going to have a sticky spell at some point

 

[larry_david]

Im not gonna say anything when im this angry. But I am angry. The defence were a disgrace today. Inc rushworth

Called it the other week.

It would be us mate

 

[jto123]

Play offs here we come

 

[Deity]

Called it the other week.

Nonsense.

We were the better side all match but they took their 3 chances and we didn’t take ours.

Small margins.

[Sick Boy]

King needs to actually back Lampard.

For now...

Steady on, you can see we need some fresh legs in, we’re not bottling it, torp and Asante give us more goals, that’s all we need

Small margins.

It is. Poor defensive errors too. All contributes.

 

[Sick Boy]

We've gone on multiple winning/unbeaten runs under Lampard, no reason why we can't do it again but we need 3 or 4 new quality signings to get over the line.

 

[Macca]

We haven't bottled it, just don't have an automatic promotion winning squad. What we do have has excelled but can't maintain it for 46 games. We won't finish top 2, lets concentrate on getting over the play offs given line as soon as possible

 

[lord_garrincha]

We have a good lead.

Just need to refresh & replenish the squad.

If they want promotion... they'll do it.

Is experience needed? Albeit at a cost.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I wouldnt say we have bottled it, but it just goes to show myself and other posters were right for calling King out on a poor summer window.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

We are still first with a six points clear gap.

Feels shite atm but even in this game where we played badly I still feel we should have got at least a point if the ref wasn’t a EFL ref.

I think it’s very fine margins for a tired and out of form squad. Doug will back em imo and we’ll see where we go

 

[mark82]

We could be history makers. No team has a lever failed to be promoted from the Championship from the position we were in.

 

[Essexrobbie]

We just haven't been the same side since Asante's injury and Rudi's return. No strength in depth.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Called it the other week.

I don’t see it that way-pressure’s is on and we all need to stand up.

Composure and faith in the Lampard way.

Bringing Rudoni and Wright straight back in has cost us.

Simms gets player of the month, dropped for Wright. He's even scraped goals in the last couple of games where Wright has just been hiding again like he did in the playoffs.

 

[Diogenes]

This team is known to have a yellow streak running through it so today's result isn't surprising. I wouldnt back them to hold out in a tight race that goes to the wire.

That said, barring Ipswich I still dont see anyone being able to put a run together that will overtake us and sustain over the 20 games left. The other parachute sides are too far behind us to catch up.

Yup.

I am not panicking yet. I could just see that we would possibly struggle today and against Charlton too.

Just needs some fresh blood injected and we should be fine.

 

[steve101]

Our run of form demonstrates the need for reinforcements. However, our form also increases the risk of spending if we continue to slip. Gamble either way.

 

[mark82]

That's our easier games out the way anyway.

 

[RoysterE17]

This is actually such a sucky post! Need to actually believe boys will turn this around surely!!

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

I've said on here before that Thomas and Kitching are so average. They get bullied by forwards much smaller than them so never win clean headers. Kitching spends most of the time fouling when we are in good positions.

The defence were a disgrace today, it was embarrassing.

King must spend every penny we have available or its play-offs again!

Surely Doug knows fans would turn against him if he didn't spend from this position?

We were all over them and gave 3 stupid goals away defence was shocking half asleep and Bobby Thomas is a Pratt if we could defend we win that easily they are not a good side

Yet MVE has been gifting goals for weeks.

Hold on .. MVE bad for 1 goal and Rushworth beaten for the 3rd front post .. its not always bobby and liam

Yes, we need defensive reinforcement. Kitching & Thomas are decent Championship defenders but not good enough for a promotion chasing team.

We shouldn’t be letting ourselves get into situation where decisions that are going against us make a difference!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

We are still first with a six points clear gap.

We are still first with a three points clear gap.
We are still first with a one point clear gap.
We are still second.
We are still in the playoffs.

It seems we are currently going in this direction. Something needs to change at present.

 

[Liquid Gold]

We've not bottled yet but we are on our way to unless we can sort ourselves out.

Luckily we have two weeks to do it now and are through our worst run of fixtures of the season.

The next two weeks will be the decider, on the training ground and in transfers. All or nothing.
