Sorry you're not a proper fan.... Got to be born inside Highfield Road to take that title you part time fan.

Makes for a very limited fan base then

fair do’s. Like I said it concerns me not so much most people on here. Each to their own. I’m ok with the point and ok with the draw just concerned about another zero goals

We were shipping too many goals,
Now we've tightened up but aren't scoring enough.
Yes it's something that needs sorting, but while in the process of trying to find a happy medium and generally find our in the Championship we still find ourselves in 18th.
I'll take that for now.

Can you smell 14 th?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Point a game and I’m happy.

Plus 5/6 points clear of drop zone

I can smell success of survival

I take the point, and as a half season I think it’s a success. However it’s trends that bother me and the current one I believe if not rectified will see is down regardless of how many “happy with the point” moments we have.

 

[Hobo]

And then 9 men when Shipley came on

Go on, both of you tell us better options for the bench with our squad?

But other teams have to improve. Why do people think other teams will improve and we won't?
They also have to improve more than us because we're ahead of 6 of them.

I’ve not read this thread since half time. Please don’t tell me people are crying about getting a point? Beggars belief

Everyone says “I’d be happy with a point” before the game and then complains when we get one.
It’s Cov innit

 

[David O'Day]

Happy with a point against a team with far deeper pockets than us and are 7th or something like that.

Anyone who isn't is a floof

I’m never happy with a point. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good point.

I don't think anybody is crying about getting a point. Arguing with people in your head again.

Standard post from someone who didn't watch the game. Probably too busy arguing on the brexit thread.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

We were really competitive on the first half, it was a good game to watch first half , we just fell away a bit 2nd half. Like our fitness was lacking . We held on for a deserved point a loss would have been cruel

 

[stevefloyd]

Go on, both of you tell us better options for the bench with our squad?

Unfortunately today Baka was the only other striker but Giles for Shipley...Pask for Shipley...Bapaga for Shipley

 

[stevefloyd]

And why would you lessen the strength of the team with only a couple of minutes left to play... waste a few seconds thats it

 

[oscillatewildly]

Lot of calm confidence on here for a team that can’t score. Unless we are going for 25 0-0’s which might just do it

Realistically, do you honestly see us being overtaken by the likes of Derby, Wendies and Wycombe?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Derby and Forest can both afford to improve their squads next month, we ain't got a pot to piss in and long term injuries seemingly every few games. We desperately need some help up top and in midfield. Think in the case of the latter there must be at least a few decent free agents available

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Derby, yes. Wycombe, no. Wednesday, maybe.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Or I'm busy and have other plans?

Piano lesson? Good book to read? Tattoo removal session?

Before the game, would have taken a pint, but definitely 2 points dropped, the opportunity to win today was there.

Are you serious? They will be scratching their headings wondering how they didn’t have a comfortable win

Non of the above.

By "improve" I take it you mean 'add to'? It doesn't always reap the rewards tho, does it? Doubtless both those clubs have funds we don't, but
I'll bet there are more Derby fans wishing they had our 'predicament' right now than those supremely confident that throwing money at a crisis come January will definitely guarantee them C'ship survival.
As for Wednesday, they'll be green with envy of our financial resources.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

100% agree.

Should have been Giles for Allen.

His love affair with Shipley is baffling.

I'd rather bring on a substitute goalkeeper than Shipley. Lol

 

[Cov kid 55]

We haven't won there since Hannibal brought elephants over the Alps

Yeh, lost count of the times we’ve been turned over at Preston. Who was that who scored the 96th minute equaliser for us with a thunderbolt?

We could do with like for like signings with our injury problems to be honest. Though yes, points on the board is king

Moussa

 

[shepardo01]

Moussa

Who was commentating, was it still Rob Gurney?... whoever it was ripped at the wires out in excitement and radio went silent!...
Gurney did that at Villa Park when Moldovan scored, then cried on the final whistle!

Derby are skint so doubt they'll be doing much. Not sure about Forest but all clubs will be feeling a pinch and they've got big wage bills to manage already

Nah was still Clive and Geoff then, might possible have been Geoff, his shriek when Mifsud scored at Old Trafford still rings in my head!
