Yes, correct decision by the rules by the ref, it's unfortunate.

Yes but what about the foul that caused it?

[Nick]

Absolutely sweet fa wrong with it…

I don't get it, what was happening when he blew the whistle?

 

[covcity4life]

Never looked like scoring?
Dovin made 3 really good saves after Bannan came on.
When we finally reacted to his introduction we made changes that reduced our attacking threat to zero.
Taking Simms off was baffling.

Jimmy87 mentioned JDS having a good game, which he did.

But it's acup game and we're through, and ultimately that's all that counts.

I remember the tip over altho think was going over anyway still good save

Think he took Simms off to have 2 rapid strikers to hit them on counter on closing moments. Not very decision can come off wouldn't call it baffling myself.

And let snot forget we were robbed of a 2 goal lead. Which was more fitting scoreline based on the performance imo

 

[Great_Expectations]

Questioning the Simms sub = agenda.

Careful chaps.

 

[Chris1987]

Fair to assume that in all likelihood Lati is off ?

Heard he is end of the week and it’s all but agreed. Him not featuring today suggests what I heard was correct

Any idea on the fee?

I'm not sure what you want me to say?

 

[HuckerbysQuiff]

Nothing… shocking decision. Not a sky blue shirt near the keeper, or infact anything else on sight going on. If that doesn’t get looked at in a review of the game I’d be amazed. Not that anything would come of it.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Any idea on the fee?

It's usually the sum of compensation agreed between the clubs but that's not important right now

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Any idea on the fee?

Just under a couple million

 

[Nick]

Just under a couple million

It's a brilliant bit of business really but it also depends on who we sign to cover defence and midfield

Yeah we should have been 2 up but we weren't so we needed to see the game out and didn't.
Losing late goals has happened far too often this season and now 2 weeks on the spin.

We've got to get it sorted.

And you're probably the only person who would say the Simms decision wasn't baffling.
We were reduced the punting balls up the channels once he went off and not one of them got close to causing them any problems.

Lampard spoke well of kitching post match , think he's in his plans now tbh

It'll be fraud if we get that much

Anything over a million is an absolute gift for us

Like I said with 11 men , with all our Cbs I don't think we concede

We have been seconds away from 2 more clean sheets for lampard. Think signs are he is getting it sorted

I didn't say the sub worked just speculating as to why he brought basette on for him in particular.

 

[clint van damme]

So he should be really.
I like that formation for these players, only problem is, what do you do when our 2 best attackers are back because I'm not sure it suits them, especially not EMC.

We looked pretty blunt for the most part with a back 5. We can’t play it when EMC and Wright are back

Welcome to the party, Frank

Love it.

I'm desperate to love them again. A bit of confidence and they will be up for it.

 

[wingy]

L

I knew Bidwell would take one.

id imagine Sakamoto would have been well down the list to take one

Yeah me too just surprised he didn't rifle one in,

Said this in another post. Think it suits this squad and I don't think it looked blunt this evening with Simms in the mood.

But it doesnt suit those 2, and they're our most effective attackers.

Bit of a conundrum for Lampard to solve, but that's what he gets the big bucks for.

 

[CV22SBA]

Not sure what happened on the M6 Southbound as no accident appeared to have happened but a guy lying in the middle of the motorway being given CPR. He didn't look good so I hope he is ok.

If you somehow get Worrall in the other direction we’ve robbed them

tbf Torp & Bassette don't look too fussed in that pic

 

[blunted]

I agree with every word of that. I didn’t think Dovin would get to any penalties as he isn’t the tallest for a keeper, but he did

I was surprised when he stood next to Wed keeper and he was taller, until they went between the posts then their guy looked massive.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Rudonis decision making is so fucking bad.

Without the apostrophe, this sounds like a Greek god.

Apologies if this has already been posted but I am not looking back over 30 pages to check.

i can see what the problem is.
it's the c**t in the orange top.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Any chance of anyone coming the other way or have I got my hopes up?

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Defo Lati going-didn’t risk him being cup tied.

Cant believe someone wants him!

Kitch was good, Dovin very good. Allen made the midfield look better and back more to how we used to play. JDS good. The refs decisions seemed to get worse as the game went on. Binks better than at LCB. Simms good. Disappointed with Bassette apart from the pen. Assante put a real shift in and was not as bad as some make out. Lacking confidence. MVE a bit hit and miss. Torp ok. Bidders ok. Thomas good and less stray passes than normal. Tatsu not in the game. Raphael never really saw the ball. Rudi usual mix of good then frustrating. Eccles ok but not as good as we know he can play.
We have got to see games out better. We were slipping deeper again near the end of ordinary time.
Bannon changed the dynamic. Good job he is really old, possibly 34?
