[Jan Age]

Relegation this season

 

[peakblade]

Bore off, clapper

never been a fan

 

[BritishSteel]

Even M Kahn thinks that ref is bent.

 

[XADE]

Wtf does Cannon do in training to warrant a position over Ings and even One. He can barely run, never mind keep for ball for more than a split second.

 

[biggey blade]

Did you not see the first 5 games?

What has made you feel any more confident in the last 3 games wilder has been in charge lost 2 and got a 1-0 win away at Oxford where we was dreadful as well I am not saying I wanted selles to stop but I don't think appointing wilder again for the 3rd time was the right idea. Nothing has changed still dreadful in front of goal and not even having a go half of the time weak as shit in midfield cooper looks asleep most of the time Ben Mee and Tanganga are the only 2 that look worthy of a shirt at the moment

 

[CyloCybin]

We deserved a point from that by the end of it. First time I've really thought that all season.

Officials were shocking, but we showed signs of improvement, and there was definitely passion there.

We go again...

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Cannon had his arms wrapped round the keeper for the ruled out goal. Can't really say that was the worst decision the ref made.

Didn't take our chances the well worked free kick for O'hare and the Campbell chance second half.

They took their chances and won it.

 

[SB_90]

you know its bad when BBC radio commentary for Southampton. cant believe their luck

 

[skegblade]

that is a disgraceful decision. GK falls over & we are disallowing a goal

clear that Ref seen bugger all. he just guessing on the off chance he might look good on replays. that corner is something youll see up & down country every week. say it all the time we might as well make football a non contact sport.

Clear foul on keeper

 

[Belvedere Blade]

I hope Utd don't get this referee again this season. Awful tonight the ref and other match officials

 

[RAP51]

That is by far the worst referee performance i've ever seen

In 64 years I must have seen worse but can't actually remember one

 

[The Crab]

Wilder. Again. WTF did you expect from him

More than this.

But it’s what we’re stuck with.

COH can’t afford to make anymore changes. This was the only option they could afford. In all fairness it’s not all wilders fault. This set of players have the spine of melted ice cream. Piss poor, really really piss poor

 

[WestYorksBlade]

never been a fan

Well nobody is as big of a fan as you peakblade we all know it

I just wish I could accept constant mediocrity like you, genuinely I do

 

[luffenhamblade]

Well that was a pile of
Still absolutely the right call to put Selles out of his misery and bring CW back.
Going to be one hell of a season though.
If we stay up after this start he deserves a bloody statue!

 

[Shawy24]

Whilst Wilder persists with Cannon, things will not improve.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Seun]

BTW Gus is clearly overweight and has a bit of a gut showing. Tyrese also overweight imo.

I’ve seen a set up that suits these players. Ive seen a team being prepared for a game properly. I’ve seen players giving more than they were. We clearly over achieved last year with these players but we were heading for relegation with Selles. We are not now.

 

[The Crab]

In 64 years I must have seen worse but can't actually remember one

I’ve seen plenty worse.

But this squad with players who have recently been quality, a squad that looked good enough to have a play off campaign, have shat the bed.

Fucking shat the bed.

That’s not on Selles or Wilder.

It’s on them

 

[The Darton Blade]

Knew game over when Cannon came on in 70 minutes, why on earth not Danny' Ings , probably because Wilders star buy

 

[peakblade]

Well nobody is as big of a fan as you peakblade we all know it

I just wish I could accept constant mediocrity like you, genuinely I do

' support ' in both the good times and the bad - it makes the good times better !

 

[MILLERtheBLADE]

All fairly straight forward, in my view. If that is a foul to disallow the goal, there is no point having corners in the game any more.

That being said, and despite the fairly frenetic ending, a point would have been a robbery. We were dreadful in the second half. No urgency with the ball, no real desire to get up the field quickly, no movement. Offered very little going forward and caught out with sloppiness at the back.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Whilst Wilder persists with Cannon, things will not improve.

Until Ings is fitter we have to really.

 

[54yrblade]

investigate this match fixing prick

If we were half competent, your deflection might have some relevance.

I loathe this team of ours, Wilder included.

They bottled it last season, bottked it and phoned it in under Selles, and can't grip a game, even under their favourite uncle.

COHs investment is turning out to be horrendous.

Dozy, Mauriss got a foot in the door, now this lot.

It's going to be a long winter.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Let’s not get carried away tonight. We’ve lost most of our games this season because we were crap! But tonight we played a hell of a lot better. We missed two glorious chances whereas they scored theirs. And on top of that… that decision to rule out Pecks equaliser was scandalous!
Roll on the weekend!! UTB

 

[Chadders]

A draw would have been fair. We go again. Performance better than Oxford. Keep improving and the points will come.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

BTW Gus is clearly overweight and has a bit of a gut showing. Tyrese also overweight imo.

Any truth in rumour that they stick a Rustlers in the microwave on 68 mins for when TC comes off on 70?

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Last 20 it was there for the taking we are so goal shy it’s getting embarrassing

 

[The Crab]

Well nobody is as big of a fan as you peakblade we all know it

He’s like the band on the Titanic.

Not so much nearer my God to thee, more like nearer to league one are we
