Were gonna destroy these lot 2nd half....in the same fashion I destroyed all my peroni in the 1st...

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

How can you add 1 after that?
how was hogan not booked for conning the ref
How did deeny get away with that on maatsen
How can the ref stop the game when we throw the ball on our throw?

Ref is awful worst one yet

Should be winning they are shockingly bad but look threatening from long throws

Agree with most of your points, but it was a very strong challenge from Hyam and Hogan had his leg caught - just one of those things but it looked like it hurt

 

[Skybluefaz]

That first half was decent. Hoping Godden can come alive in the second half ala Fulham.

 

[Grendel]

The real issue we have is we are not looking like much of a threat in front of goal - Gyokeres is looking a bit laboured and there’s no other options

Hamer has developed a shooting allergy and so unless Godden is getting chances there is little chance of goals

 

[Esoterica]

Hamer, Hyam, Kelly having good game. I know running around like Taz is his thing, but I think COH could be even better sometimes if he calmed down a little bit.

O'Hare doesn't even get me out my seat any more when he has the ball in or around the box. He's absolutely superb for 75% of the pitch but like Luke Thomas used to, I switch off once he's in the box, I actually expect nothing to come from it.

 

[Nick]

The fuck is this sound track

 

[Johnnythespider]

Should be at least 2 up tonight, final ball is lacking again

 

[Philosoraptor]

Done my obligatory sleep through and missed the first half and woke up for the second half.

Up for this now

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

We seriously need the skipper and senior players to respectfully and calmly point out to the ref the obvious things he's missing.
And nothing to show for bossing the half leaves me nervy

How long before Sheaf and Kane come on or is MR gonna dig his heels in?

Don't worry. We only tend to score in one half, so as we didn't score in that one...

 

[1234CCFC]

We only score in one half... bring on the 2nd half!!

 

[mark82]

I honestly can’t recall a penalty given for shirt pulling like the 6 second rule refs ignore in tbd box

You must be the only person on the planet who couldn't see that was an obvious penalty

 

[Happy_Martian]

Great team play in the first half. Completely agree that we have lost that clinical edge in the final third. Vik seems off the boil and I think COH panics when he gets to the penalty area. Outside of it, his ball control is great. In it, he goes to pieces almost. Hamer almost unplayable in this form.

But one consolation.....

WE ARE A ONE HALF TEAM.... we haven't scored in the first half so that could mean the second half will be a goalfest. Or it could end 0-0

Well I suspect had either official seen it they’d have given it

it makes no difference I have asked when a penalty was given for a shirt Pull refs ignore it and Mcfazdean was pulling their guy in that clip

Looks a lot worse there. Better angle

 

[jordan210]

We just need to keep the intensity up. Make smart changes to keep speed and attack

 

[Paxman II]

Good but giving the ball away at times is frustrating. Missing Sheaf in this one. As Birmingham tire we will have more opportunity.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Played some decent stuff. Just need to be more clinical in final third

 

[Grendel]

Without Waghorn as an option up front we are a bit limited

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Our final ball is terrible. We look good right until we get to the box

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

The most impressive thing about us is how confident we look passing the ball anywhere on the pitch

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Without Waghorn as an option up front we are a bit limited

Not just that I think, we just look stuck when we get near the box and not just Hamer seems goal shy.

This is what I mean. Fadz, Kelly should be in ref's ear constantly.
It might not work but we're having our pants pulled down every week now without any comeback
Get Viveash to knock on his door half-time and give him `the treatment'

 

[steve101]

Referee has been dreadful. Continual pulling of shirts, particularly Gyokeres' going unpunished. Need to start second half brightly again and get more clinical final third. Maatsen justifying his inclusion. Looking a threat.

 

[Nick]

Good defending hyam

 

[Liquid Gold]

Something that makes me optimistic: We've never scored in both halves once this season so we've saved our goals for the second half

Something that makes me pessimistic: We rarely put in solid performances in both halves

 

[robbiekeane]

Love that maatsen squared up to deeney at the end of that half lol

 

[Nick]

Their right back looks injured, go through him

 

[robbiekeane]

Without Waghorn as an option up front we are a bit limited

How come he’s not on the bench? Mightve missed it

 

[procdoc]

I can cross a ball better than Dabo

 

[Nick]

How come he’s not on the bench? Mightve missed it

Injured

 

[procdoc]

Oh fuck off with your boring long throws

 

[pipkin73]

How come he’s not on the bench? Mightve missed it

Injured mate, just back to non contact training
