Biggest mystery is how wright stayed on all game

 

---

[tommy hutch legend]

We've just won 9 in 10 ffs.

A poor night in general , results went our way so on to Saturday. Just a blip imo

 

[jto123]

We’ve been lucky the last 3/4 games. This is the kick up the arse we hopefully need - conceding 2 goals against Oxford, Stoke and these is woeful.

the worst thing is - all 6 goals were avoidable and our own fault.

we also seem to drop our heads when we go behind. When did we last come from behind to win?

Luton?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Derby are going to stay up, Eustace has got them playing well enough. Stoke or Cardiff to drop I think.

It’ll be Stoke. Cardiff are like hull, they’ll go on a streaky run now and then

 

[Nick]

Not been much stoppage, tbf.

And anyway, we could have three hours against the training cones and not score with this performance. It's been gutless. Like the start of the season.

Really? What about the time we had the ball, their player went down and he gave it then back

 

[steve101]

Well that was diabolical. Lampard took tactical and personnel risks, which completely back fired. Choosing to keep Wright on and not bringing on Allen who will pass and move around the box was odd.
Why have Grimes our deepest player?

 

[Seymour_East]

wright not fit
bidwell miles off
Eccles poor

Don’t agree with Eccles, he was on a par with most of the others

 

[Matt smith]

Most annoying thing is they bullied us and looked like they wanted it more

 

[speedie87]

Gone back to conceding 2 goals a game with this back 4

 

[jto123]

Also have to say Simms is a concern since the penalty miss. Gives effort but we really need more goals from him.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I hope FL gives them a kick up the backside. Pathetic performance. Wright and Bidwell get a 0/10. Most others were not much better.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

It's amazing how we can just have games like this where at least half the team are really really poor.

It's all about how we react to it now, though the next few games are going to be very hard.

 

[Grendel]

Let’s be honest after our home defeat against Derby you’d say we would lose again with 9 games to go but be in the play offs I think you’d take it

 

[Danceswithhorses]

To surrender so meekly was sad, but we all knew that this day would happen ie a defeat...just a shame it was against such a shit team.

 

[Nantwich Skyblues]

Hadji has had the odd bad game in a city shirt but that's the worst I have seen and it wasn't all down to fitness he just didn't look interested

 

[covcity4life]

Get fucked you snide

Someone just googled broken clock and saw lots of results lol

When someone has 17 reds in roulette and then hits a black do you say " I saw it coming?"

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Win Saturday and this is quickly forgotten. Need to play much, much better.

We've looked horribly vulnerable against three sides which up until recently have struggled to even post a shot on target.

A lot needs to change.

 

[TomRad85]

I don't even really rate Dasilva but if that's where Bidwell is at right now I don't want to see him again any time soon. Probably the main reason for our defeat. Left side in general actually, Wright was also pretty damn bad.

 

[skyblu3sk]

As bad as I have seen this season. We didn't risk the balls we needed to. Grimes had a bad game, Bidwell awful, dare I say Dovin should have done better with the first goal. Wright? What the fuck? Saka and MVe ok. Eccles meh. Simms ineffective but tried

 

[Captain Dart]

Biggest mystery is how wright stayed on all game

Trying to get him match fit, I hope that decision doesn't cost us. I thought he would only get 60mins.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Luton?

Just checked - it was Hull. But it’s not something we do regularly

 

[Paxman II]

Well it had to happen at some point. At least we get to say we played badly rather than Derby being so much better. I can't remember more than 2 shots on goal from Derby. But we were even worse!
Move on and look forward to a slightly form losing Sunderland. But what a comeback from Sheff.Wed tonight!
Norwich lost, Bristol lost and WBA drew. (so far) Not a terrible night for us,

 

[Covkid1968#]

Wright needs a run of games but there just isnt time to get him purring again. We need him clicking into gear and quick. Im a big fan of bidwell but thats was the worst I have seen him play.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Derby are going to stay up, Eustace has got them playing well enough. Stoke or Cardiff to drop I think.

Has he fuck.

 

[Shannerz]

Really? What about the time we had the ball, their player went down and he gave it then back

Maybe. It didn't feel like a game with many stoppages, though. I wasn't expecting much. Less than four is unusual, true.

Tbh, it made no odds, there wasn't a cat in hell's chance we were going to score.

 

[Marty]

Gone back to conceding 2 goals a game with this back 4

Thomas is the problem in the back 4 imo.

 

[duffer]

On the upside, MVE and Sakamoto are back on it. Thomas looks a proper attacking threat and is finding some superb passes. And.... err... I always liked Eustace when he played for us.

Bidwell, bless him, comedy gold. If he doesn't spill a drink all down his front on the coach home, I'll be amazed.

 

[clint van damme]

Bad day at the office that.
We knew it had to end some time but I'll take been in the play off chase going into March but we need to be a bit more savvy than we were tonight

 

[Ashdown]

Derby are fucking shite, they are so poor.
I knew this day was going to be rough when I woke up. When ‘Constitution Hill’ fell for the first time ever at Cheltenham and fucked up my treble I guessed this was a day to forget.
City are a better side than the sheep shaggers but Bidwell and Wright were dreadful, Simms outfought and the officials blind as fucking bats !

 

[MalcSB]

Officials weren't the reason we were crap.

The ball was way over the goal line before the second goal. Goal should not have been awarded, a goal kick should.

Officials contributed to the result.

We didn’t play well though

 

[Saddlebrains]

I said before the game i had a nagging feeling about today

Just feel we've been getting away with things last few weeks, and that luck was going to run out

However


Didn't expect us to be so wimpy and off it

 

[TomRad85]

Has he fuck.

Yeh i can't agree with that either, they look like a team doomed to league 1 to me. Which says a lot about our performance.

 

[fatso]

Absolutely shocking performance, totally unacceptable.

We play 4 at the back and we concede 2 goals. Why can't Frank see it?

Fucking dog shit display.

That's Oxford Stoke and Derby that have scored 2 against us without even looking dangerous. This can't go on.

 

[Cally Fedora]

One of those games. Forget it. Move on.

 

[Adge]

Well it’s finally caught up with us. Can’t keep conceding 2 poor goals a game and out scoring it at the other end. We just didn’t get going and Derby who are fighting for their lives wanted it more.
