It's great that the Club upload full videos of the games, those moments that don't make the highlight reels or incidents missed can be interesting.
A few points I looked out for when I rewatched the entire game.

Conway giving the keeper the eyes .
Never seen it done so obviously from a Pen, good work young man.

The one that really annoyed me was the foul on Knight that was waved as advantage. We lose the ball almost immediately but the Ref thought that was enough advantage . Now I would have accepted that, but to not pull the bloke back and book him after was shocking. A few of ours seemed to mention it but the Ref was probably already thinking about his next gym session.

 

Have to mention one thing that nearly came off. Vyner, stepping out controlling the ball and hitting (nearly) a brilliant cross field pass that without a touch from the defender, might have set Mehmeti away.

 

I was going to add some clips of Max, but the best saves are on the highlights so I didn't bother.
One last one is Harry Cornick. Poor bloke does work hard, but when he gets a break, well not sure what he was thinking. If he isn't clipped , not sure why he would go down as it looks like he could still get to the ball.

Again fair play for the full 90, I now know that Mehmeti was offside in the first half and he played one of the worst balls ever to Tommy breaking in the 2nd. That it wasn't a Pen on Sykes 2nd half and that the Ref was shit, didn't need the replay for the last one.

Anyone who has watched the full 90 minutes of that again has far to much time on their hands 

The booking for Conway in the first few minutes summed the ***** up 

Bas Cornick 

He is absolute litter 

How the ref booked Conway for that 

Piss poor

Will never happen. People blindly follow this club. Talk of the stadium erupting Saturday if a poor result happens is wishful thinking. You’ll hear a few moans and groans and that will be that. 

Been saying it for the last few years. Our fan base has gone soft as **** in recent years

Funnily enough I’m laughing at you ..... who like a broken record churned out your whines and criticism for the last god knows how many years  

 

What you wanted

Really wasn’t what I wanted - can’t remember when I asked to get rid of a dinasaur of a manager and replace him with someone miles out of their depth? 

Piss poor finish from Knight 

We are ******* abysmal

Bugger.

Just been advised that I can't go to the game due to a double baby shower in our house  for 2 x new grand kids.

Apparently, I have to "show my face" and "welcome everyone",  then **** off, whats the point of that ?

Its bang on 2pm as well.

Brilliant.

Not 

 

Grow a set I say….

Mate, some things are more important than football. 

And that isn’t one of them 

it’s a baby shower for **** sake

How is it 25 years of under achieving? You would be hard pushed to find a 25 year period in our history where our average league placing was higher.

We haven't been wildly successful, I will grant you that but seeing as most of our time has been spent as a yoyo between Championship and League 1 level we are now firmly established as a mid table Championship club with a better platform than we have ever had to push on.

Be careful what you wish for when the Lansdowns move on. You might think there is disconnect between the club and the fans now, it will only get worse...

Look at the money that has been invested - and then look at the return on that investment 

We have massively underachieved 

As for being careful what we wish for - if the future is season after season of finishing 14th, with absolutely nothing to push for - no thanks 

I would rather roll the dice with new owners, take a chance - lose and end up in league 1, then just put up with 14th place football week on week for the next few years

People have been brainwashed into thinking the Lansdowns are the be all and end all

I am sure that I am not the only one who has been waiting for newly promoted lpswich’s  bubble to burst but following yet another win yesterday they appear to be relentlessly marching on to automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Under their new US owners I believe Ashton was headhunted and has been given relatively free rein to run the club and the appointment of McKenna as manager has proved to be inspired. In contrast I think there is little doubt that the managerial appointments at City of Keith Millen, Lee Johnson and Dean Holden were driven by Steve Lansdown and Ashton had the unenviable job of presenting these underwhelming decisions to the fans and media. When he made comments along the lines of the “outstanding candidate“ being appointed what was he supposed to say? He could hardly say “well, it was Steve’s decision, so you better ask him.“

Similarly I am sure that it was SL’s decision to persist with LJ for over four and a half years including a remarkable period that saw the club “achieve” a new record for the number of successive league defeats.

The fact that we no longer even have a CEO provides further indication where the footballing decisions are made at our club.

As the season progresses I can’t help but feel envious of Ipswich and wonder if the previous criticism of Mark Ashton on this forum is justified. I certainly think it is reasonable to ask why he has been so successful at Ipswich and not here.

Incidentally a good mate of mine is an Ipswich fan and whilst they have a more successful history than us they are not a “fashionable’ club and I always think of them as a similar club to City. There is still a long way to go but I wish them all the best for the rest of the season.

The one common denominator throughout 25 years of under achieving is the Lansdown family 

The quicker they sell up and move on the better 

How shit is Mehmeti …

Ten Hag must be living on borrowed time losing at home to Bournemouth. 0-2

Resting our most creative player after an hour?

Against Huddersfield? After two losses in a row. Sorry, doesn’t make sense to me.

It doesn’t make sense . Terrible decision 

I’ll give Lee Johnson 2.0 the benefit of the doubt and say Sykes is carrying a knock. If he isn’t - then that is a shambolic decision

Piss off then Andy. All you do is ******* moan. Why bother supporting this team? Honestly, shit the **** up for once in your life. 

Time of the month?

Just now, Wanderingred said:

I’m finding it hard to support this team, right now, honestly. The mismanagement, the dishonesty, the incompetence and the constant failure to ever learn from mistakes  that has created the current set up and led to what we see right now… Honestly we deserve failure. The only exception to that, being us fans of course.

Probally one of the best posts I’ve read today . Couldn’t agree more 

Just now, Red Exile said:

Conway there! What was he thinking? Where's the coaching in that? Looking out of his depth at this level - which is incredible given how he was playing last season. Bell likewise.

Needs someone along side him 

Top 6 squad doing really well….

pathetic

And yet you are here pontificating on a club you apparently hate. Fair enough. 

Not quite sure how you have come to the conclusion I ‘hate’ the club - but ok

We had Nigel Pearson, Richard Gould, Curtis Fleming in positions at the club 12 months ago. Men who had experience in their job roles and not out of their depth. Inevitably with those three gone we have been left with amateur hour again..

Am I right in saying you were one wanting NP sacked? 

I still stand by the fact I think it was time for a change yes.
