Haha, look at the state of you lot. "Disgrace", "embarrassing". Fernando still obsessing over Bayliss.

Three disallowed goals is the story of the game. Three.

At last. A voice of sanity.

Never felt so pissed off after a game, from the players to officials who were a complete disgrace.

That's a first. Thanks.

Averaging 2 points a game, promotion form, keep calm.

 

[steve82]

Fucking robbed by the officials

Think the telling stat is James Adcock has officiated just two games in the last two seasons after suffering through injuries during the last two campaigns.

Poor, very poor the level of officiating we get given

4 point out of 6 after 2 (away) games. Promotion form.

Let’s all calm down a little it’s very early days and no doubt at all, that funnily enough, this Bolton team will win some games this year.

Not let a goal in all season.

Promotion form hahahahaha
We scraped past Southend and just drew with an academy team!

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Biamou was fucking awful

Fuck sake...let's give him a bit of a chance to get match fit after serious injury.

All different when Allen back. Very frustrating, but it's one game (and although we didn't win and weren't very good, we still deserved to win. Denied clear penalty/IES, at least one offside goal wasn't! Different attitude on here if given.

Not having a pop at you, but seen this said a few times, hes a good player but the way people are talking him up, you'd think he was the next Pele. I dont see how he is going to make a huge difference to what's out there.

Why so?

I wouldn't have been desperately unhappy with a point and a clean sheet if you'd offered that to me at 2.59pm today.

 

[mark82]

Wasn't close enough to the penalty in the first half, but there were at least 2 stonewall penalties in the first half. Not sure either of the goals in the second half were actually offside either (will have to watch the TV later).

What a really poor result against a team that had to play the U23’s and u18’s, 3 goals disallowed but we should be getting a win in a game like this. Understandable that these youngsters will be taking the opportunity and playing out of their skins, but our preparation surely would have been better than theirs and no matter what this is a poor 2 points lost.
Hopefully now the management etc see we have to get a couple more in no matter what, unless the current season goal is to consolidate whilst at Birmingham City’s ground. Dunno to be honest but that result is disappointing

Exactly! This wasn't a well earned draw against a top 6 team, this was against academy players in a club more shambolic than ours!

It is definitely an embarrassment and puts pressure on next week for a much better performance and three points!

 

[gspotgaz]

Bolton will be proclaimed as heroes but that would’ve been about 4-0 to us with a non bent referee

 

[chiefdave]

Can’t wait to see the other two disallowed goals. If they weren’t offside as Baka’s wasn’t there has to be a serious EFL enquiry into these officials.

The first two weren’t offside and it was a cast iron penalty. Not seen the third back yet. Was a couple of other decent penalty shouts as well which could do with a second look.

 

[stupot07]

Are people fuming about the result or the performance?

If about the performance, fair enough.

If about the result, stop being so dramatic. Yes it's a team of nippers but they're not exactly u8s. They were a Championship side for a while until this season. We've got no right to beat them.

Things didn't go our way. We scored three goals. Even if just the 1st one was given, the whole game might have been different.

Played two games.
Not lost.
Not conceded.

Let's give it 6-10 games before getting the noose ready. One of the worst results in the clubs history? Jesus wept...

As soon as I heard that before the game, I feared the worst.

Not trying to say my opinion matters at all either because none of us know what goes on etc but for me that is disappointing, hopefully they use this in the team meeting and find a way to break teams down and punish them, ah well let’s see what happens over the next week and how we play in the next game

 

[Esoterica]

Why did our inside forwards hug the touch line all game?

 

[mark82]

It's more the officiating to be honest. We were completely robbed.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Rotherham lost
Doncaster drew
Peterborough lost
Sunderland drew
Ipswich drew

Teams are yet to click including us. We would be top of the league tonight if that game was fair.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Bet you’re delighted

No I'm not you crow, I've paid to he here today and realised how shite it was

Cant see Biamou when its kicked but the time the ball is in the air hes only a yard or two off.

 

[steve cooper]

I think most of us would have been happy with 4 points after 2 games before the start of the season

 

[oscillatewildly]

Far,far,far,far,far from it!

Mind you, my disbelief at that result has resulted in me developing a stutter.

 

[coop]

Nothing to say but very poor performance 3 disallowed goals or not we drew with an under 23/18 side.We didn't create enough and as for Godden and Max awful why do we not play Hiwula up front he is a fucking forward. I'm not writing Godden off just had a couple of greats chances.

Second half we were good. First half was poor.

He'll pass the ball a second earlier than Westbrooke and that'll be a big help. Westbrooke was terrible today for delaying his passes and then taking the easy option.

No, we must slag him and the team off at every opportunity. We should win every game 5-0 because "we are COVENTRY CITY FOR FUCK's SAKE!!"

Thats two more than he should be officiating in the next two seasons after today.

In that case, fair enough Stu.

But theres some right drama queens on here. You'd think that Bognor Regis U7s had just beaten us 3-0.

The overreaction to this is going to be unreal. Probably best to log off for a few days.

He ran from about 5 yards behind from memory.
