Really disappointing today - much poorer performance than the last couple of games.

We've all said it so many times, but we've got to stop conceding so many soft goals.

Frustratingly, you don't need to play especially well to score 2 or 3 against us at the moment. I felt that was the case today - Blackpool didn't really impress me, but found themselves 2-0 up at HT. It would be such an improvement just to make the opposition actually earn the goals they score against us!

Very well put . That last sentence sums up exactly how I felt . They weren’t a threat and was an even game and then we pressed self destruct button .

just don’t think anyone played very well today . 

Fans kept singing today despite the performance . Long journey back on a very sweary and annoyed coach …

What was the Chris Martin chant?

It was the darts tune that they play repeatedly  on sky sports when darts is on  - it’s called ‘chase the sun’ .. at the end rather than the ‘oi oi oi ..’ then it was Chris Martin instead .. 

Is it me or had I not heard the Chris Martin chant before Saturday either ? I’ve not missed a game in ages but that one was new on me!

whilst on the subject also I do think kalas deserves something as a tune to be serenaded with !

City goal (Semenyo): https://streamja.com/V34Oa

Can you change your user name to I am SirNick as the work you do to keep us updated is so underrated .. if ever a knighthood should be given out …..

Why do ob let both sets fans out on Ashton rd together? Cardiff next

Did something happen today with them ? I’d not heard / read anything . Definite bigger police presence today. Also they were in the south stand by the corner which baffled me 

Love to know his thoughts on a couple of decisions. The handball in the 2nd half which could have been a penalty then semenyo with their defender who seemed to handle the ball and foul semenyo at the same time but gave to them . Hopefully they’re in the highlights so I can see better . 

there you go … new signing … taken off our website so clearly legit also … !!

QPR are nicely depleted tonight . If they had a full squad it’s be a tough night . Suddenly with this different looking team and the opposition looking weaker then who knows … 

im going 3-1 

It’s a no from me for all the reasons above.  Don’t think I’ve missed a game in a few years now but I had just assumed it would be a lower price for what is a fairly unattractive game.

How much does the other team need to agree the price ? IIRC when we played Shrewsbury if was a £10 for adult tickets .

They have some stationary, key rings etc on the website so weird it’s not in the store. 
My biggest issue is the price of the clothing, £50 for some jogging bottoms is extortionate.

I wanted to get my son some- we went to the Hummel website instead and got the same stuff just not with the logo on. Eventually got two of the trousers for £33 in medium men’s sizes on their sale .. looks exactly the same 

Biggest issue today was the introduction of the festive pie . Brought one -  ville …  plus the muppet who threw the flare- wtf?!

Zak Vyner awful 

I have to say his second half performance was poor . His judgement didn’t seem there , often late to the first ball and mis kicked a few times . Fortunately they were poor down that wing . 

Nice feedback from one Stoke fan at least ! 

they were very quiet .. thank god,  as I can’t stand their fascination with singing Delilah .. it still bugs me after our game at Wembley all those years ago that they sang it .. 

After the foul by by Scott . Anyone else notice the Stoke player who was fouled didn’t go off which he should do , shouldn’t he , if he was treated by the physio? He then took the free kick .. 

 

Just worked it out! Signed up for 5 years. £25 that’s as cheap as chips.

Agreed. Just renewed . I’d forgotten about it . Thanks to those that run this site. Until it was down I didn’t realise how often I check in to see what’s happening … in the absence of otib , jt meant I had to chat with wife / family which was a novel experience … 

Two positives from today

the jackets potatoes sold in the little van besides the stadium. 
 

The fact we left after that last goal and got back on the m6 within 10 mins as the Cov stadium stayed full I assume ..

ps - thought cov were good and their fans were noisy throughout .. fair play to them. 

Any suggestions on parking from those going ?

Yep, Tanner stuck to his task though, I though Pring was too naive with his defending.  He’s used to having that yard of pace to get him out of trouble….today Lowe had the yard on him.

 

Agree , I felt for pring today. Didn’t think he could do much right - still surprised he was on after half time.  Hope this doesn’t dent his or tanners confidence 

Great game yesterday - one of my fave away games since my last one at Cardiff ..,(!)

Can anyone explain what happened at the end with Dan Bentley and the foul on him. ?Couldn’t make it out from where we were and it wasn’t on the highlights .

TIA

Anyone in the away end catch his song? I couldn't quite make out the lyrics, but knew it was to the tune of Magic - Pilot. 

Didn’t hear it - had wondered if there was a song for him  …

similarly shouldn’t we have a song for kalas .?!

I REALLY hope Michael Flynn opens a burger joint by the Hippodrome and offers a 99p meal deal 

#ThoseWhoRememberWillTollerateMyNameChange. 

I think this deserves its own thread for us all to share our stories and experiences of the burger joint … hard to believe it was there at all… surely a plaque to commemorate it is needed !!

I think it was on about 70-75 minutes, edge of their box, he practically went through two and got the ball. One of those where you can see how he gets yellows, but jeez - that’s commitment

Shout out to Tanner for the same today as well

That double tackle by tanner in the first half of which the first one was heard around the ground i think .. then the follow up as well would have given him a huge boost . Thought he was decent and those two games will have helped him realise he’s not out of his depth in this division…

And same here. Got even better when I decided to check the England  cricket score at half time!
 

Fairly lively after the game too.

 

 

 

 

What happened after the game ? CATS were held back for ages so by the time we left it was quiet 

We’re on the coach , on the way and full of optimism …

Didn’t get to watch today, how did Janneh fare from the bench?

He looked busy but a bit clumsy . At least he drew men to him which could create space elsewhere . Certainly not afraid to run at them but lost his footing a couple of times / over dribbled
