They seemed for 40minutes physically stronger than us easing our players off the ball despite us still trying to play our normal game and vik,and everybody out there working as hard as always so up to thenwould give all the team a mark of 6.5 from the 40 th minute I will give them all a 7.5.
And in many ways we would have lost that game last season it shows our improvement at this high level whilst showing how robins just keeps on getting better at his work so will give him an 9.
We’ve played better and lost and this was one of those games that balances those out over the season.
Robins sometimes leaves things too long before making a sub, even “game management” ones in the dying stages to soak up a couple of minutes have their place.
The Dabo - Kane sub was enforced but bringing Fadz on to combat their big striker subs was spot on. We only had a one goal lead and they were throwing the sink.
Bringing Waghorn on was a clever substitution; his experience in this type of game was needed just then. Won a couple of free kicks to take the pressure off and timed his run well for the final assist. (He’s still an expensive back up player and has no resale value. Not his fault, strange signing).
Results like this are cruel. Keep looking at the table and thinking “we might just sneak it you know, might just sneak it”.
But it’s CCFC and we all know our dreams will be shattered.

With our final four fixtures we don’t have a cat in hells chance of sneaking a playoff spot. All four games are against good opponents and unfortunately we are not renown for our consistency

we have every chance, and why not, just go for it and you never know.

We've got nothing to lose, Stoke and WBA will be at the beach and the pressure will be on Bournemouth and Huddersfield to perform
From what I've seen these past two games and with some first teamers coming back from injury there's not reason why we can't win all 4x games and sneak in
Yesterday was a subdued performance after the magnificent performance at Fulham but apart from our defence yet again deciding not to mark people at set pieces we pulled a win back from a losing position, Jamie Allen had a decent game but their tactics didn't suit our style of play and Hamer, O'Hare, Bidwell, Dabo all played below the standard we know they are capable of, Viktor had very little support but hey if we play below standard and score 4 goals it wasn't half bad really overall
