Ron Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 But it was obvious that the initial poster was frustrated - reacts differently to the game than you perhaps - therefore nothing really gained by laying into him in my view. A lot more gained than by the pointless and unwarranted criticism by the original poster. I'm not GJ's biggest fan but I think what he said on monday was bang on, and posts like the original aren't helpful, or in this case fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm sorry mate but I find it a shame that you cannot post a little bit of frustration without certain people (probably deliberately) mis-reading it as an attack on GJ and the lads so that they can come on and have their usual self-righteous pop. Don't apologise to them for one second.heh People can and do post what they like, this is otib... no shame in that. but you have to appreciate people will respond to threads if they see things from a different perspective, or just simply just give their knee jerk view on it. Not sure by trying to be positive or supportive an be considered self righteous, but like i said differing opinions, and they make things more interesting aye? Didn't sense any apology in his post btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted November 7, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hello everyone, the OP has clarified that he was very happy with the point and can accept that his original post could have belied his feelings. Can we not all just be happy as we have people who agree with each other arguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdgifford64 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I`d have been happy with a point from Forest and WBA, so nothing to complain about so far. The timings of the goal should, IMO, be a cause to celebrate a positve. To concede on 85m and pull it back shows great team spirit and commitment. Well done GJ and team.

beaverface Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm more than happy with a point away at Forest. Traditionally we get poor results against them, so to take a point with the form they're in is a good point. However, City didn't offer anything going forward until we were forced to look for the equaliser, and then once we got the equaliser, our formation and mentality meant that we we're looking for a winner. It can be frustrating that we never seem to go for them straight off, but I'm guessing that GJ prefers to be cautious with the hope of catching them on the break, whilst still holding on for a point.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Are you disappointed that Notts Forest also let a late goal in? A point away at Forest is a good result regardless of timing of goals. Some people on here are never satisfied unless we win every match and that ain't gonna happen!! and some are not even satisfied when we win.

downendcity Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 GJ has got fed up uf us hanging on to a 1 goal lead, only for the opposition to snatch a point with a late equaliser. So, to avoid that, this week he told then team to to let Forest score their late equaliser before we scored. It worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gow Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 We played well and got a point against very tough opposition. Stop fishing or just go away.

22A Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Following the game and just knew, as sure as night follows day, as bangers go with mash and as those bloody t***s will stay in X factor, that we'd concede an inevitable, late goal. When are we going to learn??? Such a pity seeing as Danny got a late one too. Just how many have we conceeded in the last 10 to 15 minutes?? It's nothing new with City though. My first away game was 40 years ago and City lost 1-0 to a 89th minute goal scored by John Toshack. Look in the history book; December 1960 City were winning 2-0 with just 6 minutes left at Kings Lynn in the FA Cup, but managed to hang on and bring the non Leaguers back to the Gate for a replay. Immagine the reaction if this forum had been around then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 That's cos they've got no-one to scapegoat. Or, more controversially, it could even be because everyone just thinks yesterday was a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion, maybe you should do the same. It seems to me that everyone on here agrees it's a great point won against a team we haven't got that many points against recently. I shall continue to feel frustrated about the late goals but I will still back the team to the hilt, applaud every performance and never, ever get on the back's of our players or manager!!

mindjuicer Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Or, more controversially, it could even be because everyone just thinks yesterday was a good result. Although it's really nice to get a last minute equaliser, you can't say the result is good. If it was us that scored first and they equalised in the last few minutes..., No way would you be saying that! Especially if LJ was playing. :tongue: Do you think GJ said it was a good result? SL? We dropped 2 points against a team that was playing badly and let in another soft goal in the last 10 mins. If we're going to be in the playoffs (and financially we kinda need to be), we need to beat the likes of Forest when they're playing badly. And no I don't buy this "Forest are our bogey team" BS.

Mr Ed Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Back in August I posted that 23 lucky & totally undeserved 1-0 home wins coupled with 23 really dull, boring 0-0 away games would produce 92 points. Many people on here complain City's play is dull with no entertainment value, but City are still on course for 86 points. Saying we are on course for 86 points is stretching things a bit. We would do very well to get 60 points from our next 30 games. Current average points per game would suggest a season return of 74 - 75 points. Back on topic, I consider Forest to be serious play off contenders this year so getting a point away is a fine result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest's last 3 home results Barnsley - 1-0 Newcastle - 1-0 S****hopre - 2-0 They are previously unbeaten in 7, 8th best home record. I think a point was a good return. Same again at WBA would be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A point away against Forest (who have spent big this summer and will be a top 10 side and are on a great run) IS a decent result IMO and I'd say so whoever played and whatever order we scored in. If we were away to a weak team it might be a little disappointing but there are only half a dozen of those in this division so a point away is rarely cause for complaint.

I can hardly believe that any City fan thinks that a point at Forest is not a good result. As already pointed out they have been on a good run and have won their last 3 home games. Most of us would have taken a point before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindjuicer Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Taking a point ahead of the game doesn't make it a "good result" in hindsight. I just hope you're as polite about draws against badly-playing teams when less popular players are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
