Le Bris to blame for that..
Le fee should have taken the 2nd

When we beat Burnley 3-2 the night of the Carlos Edwards wonder goal David Connelly missed his first penalty then stuck a second one in.

His shooting may be erratic but I would stick with Wilson up front. Maybe not on future penalties though.
You could see he was shitting himself for the first never mind second. There’s one thing saying you’re confident but it’s another thing all together actually being confident. f***ing stupidity for all concerned
 

We will get over today quickly enough if we beat Derby and Plymouth this week coming. That’s the good thing about the league there’s lots of games.

We played OK tonight against a good side. I think we’re a bit one dimensional in that it’s get it down and play on the floor in and around them. We don’t score from set plays, crosses and headers aren’t a thing either. Going long it normally comes straight back. We’re doing so well in the league because we’re better footballers than the other teams.
Wouldn't mind going 442 again in one of the next 2 games
 
I’m raging at that, BUT on that showing I’m confident we can get top two. Got to find a way of playing Wilson & Mayender up top and the Frenchie thru the middle. Alternate Rigg, Neil and Jobe to keep them fresh.
 
I wasnt sure before the game tonight, but I’m now actually very confident we finish top two.

Have seen Sheff Utd and Burnley now on their own pitches, as well as ours, and they’re both bang average at best. If you were being kind, you’d say they were both “organised” or “functional”, but nothing more.

Leeds are the best side I’ve seen, but we haven’t played another top team yet this year and we’re now 27 games in.

Jesus. I thought u were dead.
 
Glad all the cucky happy clappers are buzzing with their point.

Jesus. Our fans are a joke, they have played a hell of a part in the dogshit we have endured since BSA left.
 
My heart is broken for him. He is an absolute amazing human being, man and player. To see him crestfallen like that was hard to take. He looked like he wanted to curl up and disappear. His disappointment on his face was palpable.

I pray we see Isidor: The Revenge on Tuesday night v Derby County. They are the perfect lamb to the slaughter. This is his best chance to really make amends.
What a complete f***ing realun you are man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
 
Get behind Isidor mind. Brilliant for us. Thought he was class tonight minus the pens and has been all season.
Someone nailed it that Kev Phillips was crap at penalties, it's not slight on his ability as a striker. Huge balls to step up again but let that be the last. It's a problem for this team currently. Take for granted the days of Fabio Borini where penalty means goal.
His penalties tonight reminded me of the clip from Blackadder Goes Forth when Melchott is explaining the push tactics, which are exactly the same as the ones prior!
 
I'm really surprised jobe hasnt got involved with set pieces in general.
Top players tend to work their balls off getting good at them.

To be fair the lad is 6ft 4 and should be on the end of them but pens I agree. But he might be brutal in training on pens for all I know.

Against the top teams we look great, it’s just those games when we trip up against the likes of Stoke.
