Ha It would appear that your levels of punishment would fit in with those in BC in Jerusalem, perhaps your should live in America :laugh:. I for one would be delighted to see Nicky back here. Someone asked for a stat about those top at Xmas, well normally those who push on and strengthen go up, those who don't choke, end up in the playoffs and miss out and strangely end up relegation fodder the next season.

Bryan and Elliott are definitely our most creative players along with Korey Smith. Losing two thirds of this really doesn't help the team but we still had the chances in the game to get something from it, both before and after a red card for our defender. Kieren Agard missing from 7 yards out, and not even finding the target is inexcusable for a striker at this level. Crewe came out to do a job and done it. People whinge when teams play rough against us, Preston done it, Swindon done it, oh and guess what Crewe done it as well. What do we do, blame the ref and whinge, and as a result, we lost all three of these games. As a team we have to give as good as we get, but we are too soft, too inviting for teams and we don't get stuck in and roughen up teams. If you play physical against us, we are beatable, and more teams are seeing this now.

Hi Dark, The coupon price was 5/2, It was differing between 2/1 and 5/2 , with a stand out 16/5 with 888 Sport. What would have happened is during an update, Bet365 through computer error published the price at 5/1 rather than 5/2. The market then basically is too far out, as because of the percentage overround you would have been able to arb and generate a profit, which basically means the 5/1 was a wrong published price and any bets that were placed at this would have been deemed taken in error and voided under Palpable error which bookmakers can and will use. They would have been alerted to this by a trader, or odds compiler or as often the case, an unusual increased volume of bets. From this they would suspend the market until they work out what bets would have to be voided and recalculate the market. At which the game was 12 minutes played when they reopened the market, which at that stage Bet365 pushed Crewe out to 11/4 in play from the 5/2 pre kick off price, basically because it was 0-0 after 12 minutes. But this above would be the most likely and probable reason of a market being suspended and after what Aizon said about the 5/1 makes sense regarding bookmaker procedures.

I can't comment, I listened to the radio commentary, but I wasn't there so I wouldn't know, but we had enough chances to make what we had count and we didn't. That we can't blame on a referee.

Excuse me ? Those listed above are exactly the reasons why a market is suspended in football, when someone put about it pre off afterwards and said what the prices were, I told them what it would be, it would be reported Palpable error, so screw you.

Ref only does their job, doesn't matter if they are good or bad, if you're a good team you make do with the chances you get. First half Crewe didn't have a shot on target, we had 6 shots and only 3 of them on target. In the 2nd half we proceeded to have again a number of shots but at most 50% on target and we failed to score. We made attacking changes when we were behind and already down to 10 men. We should have gone into this game and gone for it from the off, but we don't have the pace up front to do so, only Agard who is rather hit and miss. Teams like MK Dons are ruthless and are battering teams, we seem unable to do this, even when we lead by 1 or 2 goals we invite teams to play their game against us and make us vulnerable. Maybe the players weren't 100% today with cold and flu so maybe they can be forgiven an off day, but Cotts needs to shake the team up and make additions in January or we could end up 3rd/4th before we know it and the playoffs look to have a nightmare look to it this year and we need to bring in the right sort of players or we could end up paying the price.

Had we made that signing we wouldn't be losing to the league whipping boys Crewe. We need a fox in the box striker, we are in danger of starting January 2nd or 3rd in the league. Would hate another playoff campaign rather than auto promotion. Nicky Maynard is exactly the type of striker we need to sign in January and given he is out of contract in 5 months he'll be cheap and Cardiff want him off the wage bill. Matt Smith is too slow, and apart from Agard we have no pacey striker. JET clearly isn't wanted by Cotts, and Wilbraham is a good solid player but we can't expect him to last the season. We are going to get found out unless we bolster in January. Good to see Reid doing well at Plymouth, bodes well for the future, but we need a quality goal scoring striker in January or we are going to struggle to gain automatic promotion.

1 minute of normal time, and probably around 4 minutes of stoppages, but the game seems dead.

Could have been an error on their site then. Bet365 had Crewe 5/2 on the coupon, if like you say they were 5/1 then their could have been a computer error and therefore Palpable error would have occurred so any bets at 5/1 or above the coupon 5/2, would have to be voided and therefore they would have closed the market whilst they sorted it out. Which would explain the price when they unsuspended betting. It happen's a fair few times on football and if the price looks too odd to be truthful the bookmaker can cancel it under Palpable error and void bets.

Bet365 / Betfair suspend a market if, There is a free kick in a dangerous area, a sending off or possible sending off, a goal, or a penalty. If there was a bad challenge which could have been a red card, that could have been why it suspended.
