Good man.On to Cardiff.Bit ott from Cotts, which is ever the case when we lose. Some great last ditch defending from us at times.From the commentary, sounding like Brighton will feel they did enough to win it. Equally, it as ever comes down to a couple of key moments that go against us. Defend better for their goals, take our chances, and we were off and running. Lost to the runaway leaders by a late goal, clear penalty denied, dust ourselves down and in to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 We had a good chance of a win against the league's pace setters . listening on the radio it sounded like the game could of gone either way but Brighton brought quality subs near the end. If cotts can trust in his whole squad ( or have a plan b) more maybe we will see wilbs rested more.Of course that's easier Said then done when we don't see the players train week in week out.

Take the positives out of the performance and on another day we would have at least come away with a point.We are definitely better than at least 3 teams in this League, it's a building process with a young and inexperienced squad at this level, what were you expecting us to just come up and take the league by storm?

JoeAman08 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I don't see how you can't be disappointed. Regardless of the opposition, we've had leads in our last 4 matches and won only 1 of them. It's the same problems every week. We don't take our chances and opposing teams do. The subs are always too little too late. We can't defend and play with the ball too much. Everyone sees the problems and they don't get fixed. Of course tonight was tough but we done ourselves no favors by losing leads in about half our matches this season. Beat MK Dons and Ipswich and this is an easier loss but we don't take care of our points and we lose them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, however, genuinely feel that if we'd have strengthened to an adequate degree we'd have been capable of a top-half finish. It's all a domino effect, everything has just been so depressing since we let JET go. Kodjia's been the one bright light and I feel sorry for the lads we do have here, because with a bit of strengthening in the summer, we'd have been in a very good position. I do moan a lot, but at the end of the day, I just want us to do well. We're left persisting with a 36 year-old that just doesn't have the energy anymore at the moment.

We haven't won a game by more than a goal this season. We're not exactly dominating sides from whistle to whistle (one exception, Cardiff, we drew with!) and I think most people would say the likes of Middlesbrough and Derby have more individual quality than us but we just seem to keep nicking the results so far this season. There's a lot of experience and leaders in our side, perhaps that's a factor in the fine margins so far, or perhaps we'll soon start ending up on the wrong side of it and everything going wrong!Little consolation I guess but thought City were decent.

MaverickTheBritish Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Loving all the positivity about our performances, but 46 'We lost, but at least we did enough to win on a better day' performances aren't going to save us from relegation. As it stands we are safe and there is a long way to go, but we have to start performing now while the gap between us and further up the table is small, otherwise we'll find it increasingly difficult to maintain morale.COYR!

They are a 4 season top flight club and have spent well over half of their history in the lowest two divisions. Just because they have a 30k new stadium they think they are the dogs bollox all of a sudden. Still, good luck to the club as long as they take no more points from us this season and thrash the team in 6th on the final day and let us into the play offs.
