CotswoldRed Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Earlier today there were posts highlighting the good support for our club, yet after the disgusting attacks on SC today, it makes you wonder what the mental state is of some of our fans. I hope they are choking on their humble pie, while they get to grips with the baics, ie, that a game lasts for 90 minutes. By all means, gob off after the game if we lose, but while we still have minutes on the clock then SUPPORT your team! Frigging morons! On a lighter note, three points!!!! Yessss!!!! Rovers lost! Yessss!!!! And a mention for Ross McCormack, who backed his principles with positive action. If you aren't at the game what does it matter when you express your opinion? If a team plays that bad first half then they need to accept criticism. SC is clearly getting it wrong if he can't prepare the team to play with an ounce of purpose in the first half.

Taylor10 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That wasn't pretty but much needed.

Frenchay Red Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We looked a lot better with the players who finished the game, than with those who started. Be interesting to see if SC opts to start with Burns and also play Jet "in the hole" on Tues. Also Flint and El Abd looked more solid as a central pairing. First half was very poor though. Reid looked completely out of his depth today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcbs20 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 A difficult day to play good football with the wind and rain. But we showed nothing in the first half looked clueless and were awful I don't think we had one decent shot on target. We were completely diffrent in the second half Marv and Burns would bre starting every game from now on for me they changed the game. We looked a lot more settled at the back going 442 aswell and I think that's the formation we should styart against Coventry Tuesday. But what a massive 3 points we're out the relegation zone let's hope we push on now and stay out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I certainly hope so. I've always rated him despite some of the rowlocks posted here. Me too,people tend to forget the injuries he has had, he only knows one way to play, so when not fully fit you notice it. Plenty of better footballers out there, but not many that will try to dominate a midfield the way he does. You need players like that with ball players playing off of him. I do think Championship level is the highest he can get to due too too much missing from his game to make the top level, but for this level, I honestly believe there are not many better players of his type. Jut wish he could pass the bloody thing a bit better, when he really puts his mind to it his passing is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Three points is three points. A Carlisle fan attending may feel robbed Just read the match thread. Notable for you making embarrassing critical comments throughout in your self appointed position as on the spot match reporter. And by the look of the responses how easily the rabble are roused.... Yes, City were poor in the first half, but the right substitutions were made at half time and the team fought themselves back into the game from a very difficult h/t situation. Now you can't even eat humble pie and give a bit of credit for a great comeback by City under extremely difficult swirling conditions. Well done Marv. and Wes, and well done SC for having the balls to make the early subs., the sort of positive change we wouldn't have seen under SO'D. And in the end the Carlisle fans won't 'feel robbed' at all, City's 2nd half performance deserved the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 All credit to SC. Got it wrong in the first half but the changes he made in the 2nd made a big difference.
