Disgraceful refereeing. Absolute joke.
Fair play to Wilson-Esbrand and Norton-Cuffy for their second half performances. Great effort from the team. Godden shows his worth.

Cuffy is good at running inside but let's be honest his final ball and decision making is woeful

Gyros greed cost city the game.robins needs to pull him up about his greeed

 

[Finham]

JWE started to remind me of prime Dave Bennett second half!

 

[stevefloyd]

Referee a complete c**t

 

[shmmeee]

Another massive chance missed. Can’t keep missing them

 

[shmmeee]

Referee a complete c**t

At least two stonewall pens second half.

 

[covcity4life]

QPR won't be easy good result for them today so may be turning corner. But we simply must get 4pts from next 2 away games with them and Blackburn.

 

[Macca]

Can’t start trying in the final 1/4 of the game. However maybe the nature of the comeback may be a spark

 

[Ian1779]

JWE gets my man of the match vote. Tried to be positive in a poor side first half but had a great 2nd half

 

[steve cooper]

Not over yet, but probably will be if we don't beat QPR. Norwich play Middlesboro and Preston play Millwall. If we can win on Saturday, Next Wednesday's game against Blackburn will be massive.

 

[Finham]

Norton-Cuffy was shocking until the last 10 minutes.

Agreed, looks about 2 divisions above his level, miles off the pace.

 

[stevefloyd]

I hope the authorities are looking at that prick Stroud. There needs to be VAR, with that we would have had 2 penalties today

With VAR thats even more inept

 

[CCFCSteve]

Wing backs superb second half

 

[Ross1247]

It's shocking how the officials missed that, the linesman was on that side looking straight at it. The contact was clear as day, clipped bnc's leg and brought him down. There's no logically explaination for not awarding a peno for that. A point, given the other results today still keeps us in the hunt. If we play like we did 2nd half who knows!

 

[Alkhen]

Excellent second half, 100% a pen feel a bit robbed there.

That 45 mins shows the difference between a 'Team' and a collection of good players. Our spirit shone

 

[fernandopartridge]

I was out so only saw the game just before the Godden goal, played well. Thought Godden, Doyle, Esbrand, Sheaf and Hamer were good in particular.
I thought we could have chucked Walker on to put another body in the box as we had a good few crossing opportunities.
Gyokeres tunnel vision infuriating

 

[Covcraig@bury]

We’re still in with an outside chance. Keep the faith #PUSB

 

[covcity4life]

7-8 teams fighting for 2 spots

 

[SBT]

Robins has no ability to go at it

What does Robins have to do for some people? Just bizarre.

 

[hinckley cov]

We’ve had some bad referee’s this season , but that clown tops the lot , might as well of had a Watford top on

 

[Tommo1993]

Hot and cold with Stroud. Abysmal today. Anything to not see Watford lose.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Fair play to Eccles for still nagging the ref re the penalty. He may not be an absolute game changer but he doesn’t lack in passion.

Draw is disappointing but in context of the first half it’s ok.

Play offs still on.

Thought he was very good second half as well (shooting aside), the amount of times he chased back and mopped up. Doing the dirty work. Midfield three looked totally different to recent weeks, frustrating it needed that to get them going

 

[SIR ERNIE]

It was a stonewall penalty but overall have to admit the result was s fair one.
0-2 flattered us at HT.

 

[David O'Day]

Was Stroud the ref who had an alice band at the start of the season?

Just seen the replay, how the fuck has he not given that. Looked a stonewall in real time but on the replay there's zero reason to not give it. He's got form with us as well hasn't he?

We've said it before but these games are potentially influencing a promotion worth huge amounts of money. Yes they are only human and will make mistakes but the type of mistakes we're seeing week in week out just aren't acceptable and something needs to be done about it. When everyone in the ground can see it's a pen but the ref and his assistants can't something is very wrong.

 

[Evo1883]

Fantastic effort to get back into it and very unlucky not to be given the opportunity to win it with a probable penalty ..

Hope some get off goddens back for a week PUSB

 

[Speedie's Head]

Sky lads saying 2 pens

 

[Grendel]

BNC and JWE aren't even league 1 standard?

Watford for a team that cost a lot of money were fragile was anything

The first 45 does count David and Cuffey was laughable until the last quarter of the game

We beenfit aswell sometimes though though like mcfadz at Blackpool.

 

[skyblu3sk]

2 potentially

If the 2nd was the potential handball it wasn't. Gyok went down easy for his shout toom

 

[Finham]

Ha, "Keith Paul Stroud (born 12 August 1969[1]) is a professional English football referee who officiates in the Football League and Premier League. He is also blind… missing blatant penalty for Coventry vs Watford. Rumour has it he quit after seeing just how rubbish he is"

 

[fernandopartridge]

I can understand why Robins didn't change it as we were well on top, not sure he deserves any criticism really

 

[stupot07]

True. Also today Fadz pulling Assombalonga back in a headlock last man, when he did his hammy. No foul given but could have easily been given and a red. It's the lack of consistency which is hard to take. I still wouldn't take VAR.

They showed a replay on Sky for Gyokeres pen shout and he gets elbowed in his neck/head by bacuna coming across him
