[Ring Of Steel]

The way we threw it away was embarrassing.

disappointed yes, a bit gutted yes, frustrated yes, but if you’re embarrassed by that then you may want to take a look of your expectations against these types of teams.

That squad depth is the decider

If we could have brought on Son and Maddison instead, we’d have probably won

 

[CCFCBat]

Read what I’ve said above before coming in with that.

You can't blame Sheaf for a hospital ball but can blame Allen for being tired

Sheaf should not have played that pass into Torp, he could see he had two men in close proximity. Allen had played a couple of tired passes before the equaliser. Before that Allen had a good game

Exactly, so I’m hardly being negative

 

[Brylowes]

Very good performance by us and a tough one to take. Allen just not at the level and gave the ball away many times when his job is to keep it. You can't blame Sheaf, he's comeon after a long lay off. perhaps not thebest of decisions in hingsight, but he needed some minutes.
In a way Robin's got his performance and confidence into the players with Asante and Mason-Clarke looking hungry. He is likely secretly please we are out so he can concentrate on the league and 3 points on Saturday. Robins probably saying brilliant lads in the dressing room.
Binks and Thomas look a good partnership and Bidwell was very good as was Van Ewik.

Seriously what is peoples problem with Allen, both he and Eccles were excellent tonight.

 

[Tommo1993]

Lads, it was harsh to lose it like that but the difference in class was there to see for at least 65-70 mins of the 90. Calm yourselves. Back to the proper stuff on Saturday.

 

[Diogenes]

Really don't get the whinging about tonight, they are a top team and can do that to you. Sure we didn't help ourselves at the end but it was a free hit and we put in the best performance of the season so far.

On another day we would have been 3 up before they scored.

If we play at 70% of that level for the rest of the season we will wipe the floor with most teams.

 

[Cally Fedora]

I will come in with a negative

we have to start fucking burying our chances

Agreed. Feels like once a few go in we could go ballistic

 

[Alkhen]

The pass wasn't good, but look at his first touch, you're getting mugged with a touch that heavy.

Sheaf cannoned that at him, crazy. Feels like you've picked you target this season

Rare agreement with you - that’s two games we should have killed off. Feel much better now than I did before the international break.

Spurs fan in the directors section sat by Daniel Levy just pushed over by a Cov fan and split his head open. Que the tweet from the club tomorrow about the behaviour of fans

What a dickhead.

Yeah I’m gutted but few positives tonight

@HuckerbyDublinWhelan EMC though - jury’s out

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Starting 11 were superb. Subs were logical. We had 15 shots against a prem team who were bringing top notch internationals on. That was fantastic - let’s not mess about.

Yep 45-70 we were fantastic

 

[procdoc]

BTA was also completely fucked for the last 15 mins.

 

[CCFCBat]

Exactly, so I’m hardly being negative

How can you not be negative, when you said you had a negative

Not sure how you can say that when we brought on three pretty nailed on starters

Torp a starter at cam?

 

[Cally Fedora]

What was especially positive was that there have been a few where you’d thought “ are they up to it”. In that regard a big big night for Binks, Allen, Rudoni, Thomas-Asante and Bassette.

 

[shmmeee]

At 1 nil up?

Yeah. We were knackered.

 

[fatso]

The way we threw it away was embarrassing.

Their extra quality was the difference.

That first time pass from Maddison was quality, and opened us up.
And for the winner, the run and finish from Johnson, who had fresh legs was top draw.

Compare that to the clear chance that Wright had! That's what your up against when you face a good Premier league team.

 

[Paxman II]

Seriously what is peoples problem with Allen, both he and Eccles were excellent tonight.

Are you serious? He constantly gave the ball away, one which led to the equalizer? He loses his man. He was inefective and a liability which cost us. he needed a game, fine, but should have been substituted early to give Sheaf more minutes.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Our goal was beautiful, Rudoni driving forward and a pin point cross by Norm, Fantastic finish by BTA, really calm and gave the keeper no chance.

we see more of that in the league and we’ll start putting teams to the sword

What impressed me most was how BTA timed his run absolutely perfectly. A lesson in there for Wright and Clarke

 

[procdoc]

Rudoni’s best game by far too

Because overall I’ve been positive

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I’m going to give him chance to persevere. Looks short on confidence. Scored 20 last season.

There’s got to be something there

 

[jordan210]

We really need to play attacking football for 90 like we used to. And stop trying to sit back and invite pressure.

also still baffles me how bas did not get any minutes the other day yet was ready to come on

 

[OldBedrocker]

Can’t believe people are upset. Great performance.

Because yet again we concede goals from our own fuck ups

 

[Tommo1993]

Hope he enjoys his deserved lifetime ban

Eccles was way better. Allen worked hard off the ball but again on it he’s miles off the level.

Utter fucking drivel

 

[Nick]

Expectation at 1-1 to at least get to penalties with a couple of minutes left?

 

[fatso]

Sheaf cannoned that at him, crazy. Feels like you've picked you target this season

Lol, hilarious

Your a reactionary poster, go and read my posts in the Torp thread and you'll understand your talking complete bollocks

 

[Nick]

Yeah. We were knackered.

He left the most knackered players on

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

We played well in all honesty and should have been a couple of goals ahead before they even had a shot. Bassette looks the real deal

I’d be tempted to start with Bassete on Saturday

 

[Sick Boy]

Rudoni’s best game by far too

He was excellent.
