Its coming to something when Otis is talking about not making the play offs. We all need to wake up - this is not being negative, it's a real possibility and so frustrating after the way the club has been turned around this season.

Yep, the negativity is justified after the concerning drop in form and overall vibe.

Yes, but he didn't look ginger.

I've had my rant on Twitter not that the FA or football league will take any interest, if I'm not already blocked from tweeting them since I do it after every poor performance by officials

Maddison needs to learn when to take more than two touches and when not to.
Despite the poor defending I thought we probably could've got a draw.
Would like to see us try 2 strikers so Armstrong can run in behind rather than having to drop so deep.

Am I missing what he did wrong today? Didn't think he was that bad.
That said, must be something wrong with the amount of goals we are conceding, especially at set pieces
Don't think he flapped at anything today though

The 5k who found something else to do deserve nothing better

When he made RCC take one free kick for the third time despite it being inches away from offence location when he took it for he second time was just embarrassing! Definately had small man syndrome.
And he took great pleasure in booking Vincelot first time round, almost suggesting (and probably said but will never be confirmed) 'I am Reffing this game, not you', although that was debatable as he may as well have given Williams the whistle and cards!
I got something better, a fucking blinding afternoon

There was one pathetic punch in the first half.
I thought in the build up to the second goal leading to the corner, he could have collected the ball but slowed down for some reason and let the attacker beat him to the ball.
I laughed beyond out loud at this. Maybe even justified a lolz

No, not them. The CWR caller said it was us fans fault that were there.

So punching the ball back into our own box rolling the ball out to defenders who are being marked, running at their player with his hands in the air like a bird.
Never kicks one ball from out of this hands the Guy is just rubbish, the defense have no faith in him and he has none in them.
Nearly every team we have played have a better Keeper then ours even lowly Scunny.
Time for a change.

It was hilarious. The Ref Assistant was standing in line a yard outside of the box. When the ref blew, RCC looked at where the RA was standing, and (correctly) placed the ball in line with the RA, only for the Ref to blow his whistle hard and gesture manically. You could almost see RCC sweating on getting a card, not knowing (like the 11K people in attendance) what the dick actually wanted.

Yes blamed us for the negativity of the crowd.
What the fuck does he expect all of us ranting and Raving about that display we have seen in the last few weeks.

Kick out of hands to who though? Armstrong against 2 man mountains?

Far too many poor displays today. Start with Ramage. That has to be the most comical performance by a defender since Wright at Reading a few years ago. Ricketts wasn't much better either. Misplaced passes, positionally unaware and was static all too often in our box. Again Vincelot looked a bit lost at times without Fleck. Murphy wasn't himself and didn't look fit. There was one occasion in the first half where he was beaten to the ball over a 20 yard dash against their centre half despite having a yard or two head start. Did Bigi play?
As for the officials what was that warm up all about? It was almost like he ran so far only to realise he'd forgotten the flag so had to style it out. The ref didn't seem to have much of a clue about what was going on. Seen bookings for fouls similar to Vincelot and McSheffrey's in the past but they were never bookings in the context of that game. Far worse happened before hand. Also other frustrating things like the RCC free kick and their throw at the end of the first half. Why not just let the game flow?

Two quite poor errors that could have been punished.

I will be very disappointed if I see bigi in the starting 11 ever again this season , absolutely woeful .
Ramage and ricketts again very poor along with Murphy today .
Stokes below par always going sidewards and backwards , lorentzon ok , Reece Charles cook is a fucking clown and we need a new keeper , apart from that great day

I'm sure an interesting point is being made here. Let me know when you've figured out what it is,

Sad really how things have worked out for him. Played hardly any football for years. Something really is right.

He did. After walking (although it was more of a lovers run, not a sprint to check he hadn't broken a nail or something) quite a distance before doing so. Embarrassing! He was definately going to meet Williams in the showers after the game!

Bloody hell it sounds like we had a shocker today. What does it look like we need TM to lay his hands on to strengthen the squad? My first thought Is a goalkeeper to help out RCC.

I thought RCC was poor today, but to be fair to him for that one chance where the striker got to the ball before him, it did have wicked spin on it. Saw it quite clearly from where I was. The ball didn't behave at all like expected.
I still expected him to get it however. He should have been more physical to make sure he got the ball.

Just been told by my father in law that although Vincelot's first booking wasn't a foul he could've easily been sent off as he punched the opposition player. Anyone else see it?

And isn't that the last game where Murphy played really well?
