[Ccfcisparks]

Im not gonna start ranting at the club or players when we dominated first half away against a parachute club and refs bottled a sending off. We’ve been the better side, just not had the rub

Fortunately we have given ourselves such a cushion i cant see us not making it now, even if there is a drop off in performances. we always knew this month was tough.

KKH is a waste of a player. Get Haji on the right or something.

 

[EalingSB]

We are desperately missing Sakamoto, every game we play without him it makes me realise how good he is

It's the balance he gives us out on the right too. Massive hole when he's not there.

 

[glasgowfan]

Im actually raging inside!

Vindaloo for lunch?

 

[Grendel]

Wouldn't have to if the ref had sent off Hirst as he should have in the first half

He didn’t though. The fact is we are conceding goals every week. It’s a silly argument,

 

[Speedie's Head]

KKH is a waste of a player. Get Haji on the right or something.

Not fit enough I suspect

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

at least we won’t get relegated

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Noticing how certain posters werent posting on the match thread again until we were 1-0 down

 

[David O'Day]

He didn’t though. The fact is we are conceding goals every week. It’s a silly argument,

it's really not, games are changed by decisions like that one

if they are down to 10 it's a very different game

 

[Grendel]

Not fit enough I suspect

Why?

 

[jto123]

to be fair not all the teams we play will have so many players

True, but could see a wobble coming this month. One loss doesn’t make that, but we’re really being stretched now

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Taking a step back, we're missing 2 of our top 3 scorers, the third is only fit enough for the bench, and we're missing our star winger. Not many teams could cope with that.

 

[shmmeee]

It’s alright lads we’ve got Jamie Allen to come on and change the game. Who needs midfield depth?

 

[Nick]

Obvious they were going to bring Hirst off.

 

[Briles]

That sub by Lampard is surely a piss take to give Doug a nudge?

 

[Evo1883]

This second half has been atrocious

 

[David O'Day]

True, but could see a wobble coming this month. One loss doesn’t make that, but we’re really being stretched now

not really, If Torp is just ill then Hopefully by Preston or Brizzle at the latest we haev a full team minus BTA.

 

[Matt smith]

Not been as frustrated for a while but it’s about how we respond

 

[EalingSB]

Shades of Oggy in Rushworth's kicking today. At least three straight into touch.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not been as frustrated for a while but it’s about how we respond

Let me guess, havne't been as frustrated since Wrexham, when we last lost a game.

 

[Evo1883]

It’s alright lads we’ve got Jamie Allen to come on and change the game. Who needs midfield depth?

Games gone at this point

 

[Grendel]

it's really not, games are changed by decisions like that one

if they are down to 10 it's a very different game

It’s silly as if he didn’t do that then there’s no debate. It’s two very poor goals - it’s clearly the one concern we have that we do not keep enough clean sheets and are chasing too many games.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’m not concerned by this but am pretty pissed off with it. The game has hinged on a bent referee and KKH guilty at both ends.

 

[stupot07]

Eccles has spent the second half hiding

 

[David O'Day]

Games gone at this point

To be fair he also helped change the game against Boro, he's just talking his usual nonsense.

 

[Matt smith]

Let me guess, havne't been as frustrated since Wrexham, when we last lost a game.

No more the blatant sending off

 

[Nuskyblue]

Cmon, that's a booking

 

[Nick]

Did he even book their player then or did he let him off because he acted injured?

 

[Grendel]

It’s alright lads we’ve got Jamie Allen to come on and change the game. Who needs midfield depth?

Great. Let’s have a dig at someone who at least shows full commitment to the cause.

 

[shmmeee]

Games gone at this point

That’s not very fight til the game is won of you

 

[Shannerz]

He didn’t though. The fact is we are conceding goals every week. It’s a silly argument,

The statements that we are conceding too many and the referee has cost us through ineptitude are not mutually exclusive.

It doesn't matter if you need to tighten up a bit or not, every team has the right to expect better refereeing than that, and referees' performances should not affect the outcome of games.

 

[Chris1987]

Just been one of those games so far where we haven't had the rub of the green with a few players out. Still a good lead at the top .

 

[lifeskyblue]

Score in the next 5/10 and will make an interesting end to game

 

[Osullivan18]

That was a class save

 

[Sick Boy]

Another great save by their keeper.
