No Lorna it isn’t “bizarre” that shots that hit the post aren’t counted as on target. They’re literally off target.

People can’t handle how today went. Imagine if we actually blew this mighty chance we’ve got coming up.

The fans need to stick with the team. We've done better so far than *checks notes* every other team in the league.
We were hitting a wall and needed this break. We'll have BTA and Torp back and we already have 2 new recruits with the management seemingly aware we still need more help.
Turning on them now is pathetic honestly.

The worrying bit was that was our best back 4… looked like they’d never played together, we’re pinning top 2 on we just start out scoring teams again.. we need to start doing it and quick,

“Ellis needs to get a goal it’s getting desperate”

Man has scored two in two before today.

Should never have lost that. Yes, we made errors, but we controlled possession and were denied a stonewall pen. Opinions and all that.

Stoke had a goal disallowed - marginally offside
Cov hit the post twice
Stoke missed at least 4 very good chances
They scored an excellent goal

fed up of trying to get fans around us to make a bit of noise, starting to give up, said the last game the crowd is starting to feed down to the players you can tell, if we’re not behind them now then ?

Probably for the best we don't have the extra games, but I'm always a bit disappointed when we're not in the draw for the next round

That wasn't a great watch but Esse fully up to speed will be very important to us. Yang showed some good stuff . We need a fit Torp and a returning BTA. Wright is an ongoing concern as is Rudoni although there were positives from the latter in the second half. We need to ensure that we have a quality bench for the remainder of the season

Simply not true.

Rudi is the only I can see starting against Leicester, I wouldn't but that is the likelyhood. Simms is the likely forward and I guess Esse may get a start and Eccles will likely only play if Torp can't start.

so yeah that was mostly or backs i.e. not in the best XI
Click to expand...
Esse will start. Wright has got a good chance of starting as well. Regardless of that, they are all players that have and / or will play a significant amount of minutes in the first team this season.

Football is a squad game and there's plenty of rotation and the game has changed with 5 subs, you have starters and finishers. You're getting hung up about who will start games, not who will get plenty of game time and rotation. And Fernando is right. Of the midfield and forwards the only player you wouldnt class as a regular first teamer is Andrews. Eccles, Rudoni, Minny, Esse and Wright will get plenty of minutes between now and the end of the season and will start their fair share of games.

This was in response to being the poorer side at Blues. I said we were denied a stonewall pen (when EMC was dragged down) and should have got something from that game.

Great goal to win it which may turn out to be a blessing for us and the rest of the season.
Not many fucks given here.

I think those 6 games may well define our season. If we can get 12 points - which we are well capable of - then we are back on track. I will really worry if we get 8 or fewer.

CWR's obsession with Haji Wright not scoring is exhausting.
Even asking Kai Andrews about it in the post match interview

Thought Andrew’s, Yang and Esse looked decent.

Esse to start on the right against Leicester

At this point I would probably look to add another striker for the run in.

The new signings look very good though and no one got injured.

Spot on, need to average 2 points a game to get it done, not saying every home game is a must win but it’s not far off what we need, 3 points Saturday gives you that cushion for the next game, it’s turning into every game is huge when it shouldn’t be, hoping that’s the wobble over

if people can not see there is a major difference between starting your back ups/squad players al in one go and how they will be used in the league games then frankly your loss
