Why are people putting the poo emoji on this?

Because they don't understand football

Dasilva has had an excellent game

Not for there goal?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Not really. Every season it’s one excuse or the other. The year we made the playoffs was because we had 2 cheat codes in Hamer and Vik.

No other teams in the play offs have outstanding players of course

 

[MalcSB]

Have a wank and get some sunshine jfc!

So the use of subs was good?

 

[pusbccfc]

A bit meh. Awful away end again. Barely a peep in the second half.

Expection through the roof and the players aren't going to meet it.

Happily take the point but many around me are fuming.

 

[Diogenes]

These are a good side , we should have scored about 5

Guess that makes up.for the two points thrown away

 

[ptr]

Well we wanted 5 from 5 and we got it! Great start.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Take a point.

We’re lacking sharpness in attack especially and I hope that comes with more games.

 

[coop]

Good game fair point but have to take some of them tap ins Clarke first half how did he not score 2-0 probably game over.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Come on everybody get your hands in the air for GROUNDHOG DAY!
WOOOOOOOMOTHERFUCKINWOOOOO!

 

[Johhny Blue]

2 points dropped from the first half performance there, should have had 3+

How does that work?

 

[stevefloyd]

Dasilva has had an excellent game

Despite not tracking or getting near to their goalscorer

 

[San Francisco]

Because they don't understand football

We should’ve been home and dry at half time. Stop talking bollocks.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Even in the shit second half we created some good chances, easily the most fluent we've looked as an attacking force with the midfield 3 working hard for each other.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Really frustrating not to get three points and really frustrating we are lacking in key areas still after spending £40 million.

Top 6 has to be the aim but feels like it would be an overachievement for this squad at the minute.

Our fans are turning exactly into what we mocked other fans about

 

[coop]

Not brining Bassette on for Simms was ridiculous. He is a hungry arrogant striker which is what we needed late on.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Well we wanted 5 from 5 and we got it! Great start.

5 from 5 is relegation form.

 

[procdoc]

Not for there goal?

Was not his fault. It was just a well worked goal if we are being honest

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Happy with that first half, bit more confident it will come together. Could of easily won that 4-1

 

[David O'Day]

5 from 5 is relegation form.

strange we are 14th then

 

[pusbccfc]

Glad someone agrees. It's a real shame. Silent. Miserable. Boring.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So many good chances wasted and another poor goal conceded. Need to keep a performance going for more than just a half though.

 

[Nick]

Dasilva has had an excellent game

Apart from being nowhere to be seen for their goal.

 

[Hobo]

Only listened on CWR but sounded like a decent game by two good sides. In the grand scheme of things that is a decent away point and performance. I think both sides might feel they could have won it?

But a step up and forwards for us!

 

[no_loyalty]

We were better than Watford in the first half, they were better than us in the second half so overall a draw is a fair result.

 

[Macca]

Would you have taken a point at half time?

Definitely. I thought we would lose at half time and rue the missed chances

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

What's tactically naive? What would you have done differently with the players available?

not making changes when the other team do and up their game - that’s tactically naive

I’m not the, or a, manager so it’s not down to me, but on a very basic level make changes to counter the opposition’s

 

[fernandopartridge]

Glad someone agrees. It's a real shame. Silent. Miserable. Boring.

You could hear them all game on the coverage

 

[Tommo1993]

The preseason high expectation really got into some of your veins didn’t it? Fucking hell. Would like to know the ages of those throwing strops that we didn’t win this must win game.

 

[fernandopartridge]

We made changes and pretty much immediately they scored

 

[David O'Day]

Seems folk turn into bellends at 1400 points

 

[mmttww]

So the use of subs was good?

You quote a post about wanking and sunshine to ask me about MR and his use of subs. Nice work proving my point.

Time for sunshine, beers and joints. Enjoy your wknd you bunch of mad heads! Still think we'll have fun with this squad.

Apart from being nowhere to be seen for their goal.

It was just a well worked goal. MVE was more culpable for getting skinned

Started from Wright flapping around with the ball instead of just putting a cross in
