"Right. What he’s said here is if you take away Coventry’s goals there wasn’t much between us. Fucking clearly. If you take away the oppositions goals they’re clearly going to look a lot less impressive. Problem here is Steve, the goals fucking happened, that’s how football fucking works you daft twat. Also saying look what chances we created. Oh yeah fair we created some decent chances. Didn’t bloody take them though. Still reads Crewe Nil doesn’t it?"

A better quote would be "If you take Murphy and Armstrong away, there's not much between the teams".

I heard worse on here justifying some of our defeats in the past!

Probably just got eyes

there was another nailed on pen not given in the first few minutes though which wasnt given when Armstrong (i think - may have been someone else) turned through 2, and was then wrestled to the ground
so either way - a penalty was due to us

How many goals are ever scored that you can look back on and say there's not a single mistake leading up to it?

Yes, agree, but there's mistakes and mistakes. I would say 2 of Crewe's mistakes were bad mistakes.

Not knocking our victory at all and am just trying to ascertain how much of that win was down to their errors and how much down to our good play. I'm over the moon over the victory, but just don't want to get carried away too much if the opposition are aiding us greatly.

Just that not every game will you get an error riddled defence. I know some City fans will probably think that on the back of that we'll now score a few goals against Walsall too.

Thinking back to the Millwall game, some of those goals were down to individual brilliance or fantastic team interplay and through balls.

Seems obvious we would have won the game anyway yesterday, but Crewe obviously helped. For that first goal, you simply cannot lose the ball from that position on the pitch and it was also very, very poor play for Armstrong's third.

Had it been our players committing those mistakes we would have all hammered them for it.

Take those 2 away and there isn't much difference between us and any team. Absolutely crucial to us

We were always going to be open for them to have the odd chance the way we went forward 1st half .
But let's be fair it could have been 8-2 , his team need serious defensive work

They are. Armstrong is the best striker in this division and Murphy can produce moments of magic like he did yesterday.

Just waiting now for someone to correct the score and say it wasn't Crewe 0-5 Coventry, it was Crewe 0-5 Norwich/Newcastle.

Sounds like something 'Obvious Owen' says on Twitter
