Derby are really poor yet still in cruise control… that’s how bad we are.

We’ve had some moments but two attacks Derby have had we’ve been miles away and punished.

 

[leedsvaliant]

That's the frustration. Second in the league Derby are shite but are absolutely cruising. Two terrible bits of defending again.

 

[BogDaddyO]

Not what I'm seeing at all re the officials. What has he done wrong?

Really??
Been so many clear fouls not given

 

[BogDaddyO]

Just clocked it's Drysdale, that explains it, given us nothing all game, must be a gashead

 

[valefan16]

Shameful effort again.

 

[valefan16]

First time in years I’ve left early. Weak performance again, throwing youth players due to injury and dire recruitment again. Average side cruising to three points against us again.

Can’t wait until it’s over I’m bored week in week out and it’s situation of our own doing that was entirely avoidable. Surely Carol can’t ignore the Flitcroft out booming out the away end today… but she will.

 

[leedsvaliant]

The most obvious scoreline you'll ever see. I'm surprised it wasn't more. Still, at least we gave it a good go with our 0 shots on target.

We're probably going to need 5 or 6 wins out of 12 from here after 3 wins in the last 30....not a chance.

What a way to sap all your energy, having to watch Stevenage play.

I've never seen a game so broken up. All Stevenage were after was winning free kick after free kick and then smashing it into the box.

A game of very few chances, we looked alright at times when we managed to get in behind them, but it was a tough game and a tough watch.

If you can't win it, make sure you don't lose and can't remember a chance from Stevenage, will take it for 10 unbeaten and another clean sheet.

Bet the club are glad no Tuesday game to give the players time to recover.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Utter garbage from us today. No urgency whatsoever in a must win game. Burton unlucky not to win it in the end. Feel good factor of recent weeks is well and truly gone after the last 2 games.

I wouldn't worry about us. We gave up weeks ago. Fleetwood will be above us very soon and but for Carlisle being as shit as us, we'd be bottom of the pile at the end.

Was watching the Orient Live feed and even they said nothing about that

Also, as a fan base, Stevenage are a bit rough aren't they. Haven't seen as many wannabees for a while.

 

[denzel ecfc]

I'm still worried, narrow defeat today but still a defeat, and Bolton next.

 

[EricSabin]

We were very poor, Charlton not much better. Charlton had the better chances but both teams gifted a goal away and it finished all square. Charlton fans were odd today, bloody loud when they got going but relatively silent for 70 minutes, loud as fuck for 10 when they were all over us but silent again after our equaliser. Must have been nerves.

Shame it took us 80 to start playing as we looked very good after the goal

 

[The Terminator]

Frustrating to lose that on a set play which was more or less Rovers only chance despite a few Scott Sinclair breakways in the first half and then dominating the whole second half in terms of possession and territory, but we didn't make Ward work until the last five minutes despite forcing something like 15 corners and numerous crosses into the box.

Second time in a month we've won on a Tuesday at home, then played a team who had a free week at home on the Saturday and we've just not had enough about us to follow the Tuesday result up and have ended up losing both games.

We ended the game with 18, 19 and 20 year old loanees as our front line and we never quite had enough experience to find that killer chance during the game, losing George Moncur again at half time didn't help this, having said that Joe Piggott I thought was very unlucky with our final chance which he pulled wide.

Rovers defended their lead well, but I don't think I've ever seen a team come here and offer as little as they did in the second half.

Missed what Wilson did to be sent off, Drysdale gave a few questionable decisions I thought in the second half.

 

[Si Robin]

We've forgotten how to score again. First half we controlled the game in the middle third then shit our pants every time we reached the final third. Second half we lost the ability to even control things.

Burton were just as bad and 0-0 really was the fairest result.

 

[AmberAndy]

Also, as a fan base, Stevenage are a bit rough aren't they. Haven't seen as many wannabees for a while.

Obviously pumped up after their antics against us on Tuesday Loathsome club, loathsome fans.

 

[CTFCfan99]

I'm not really worried about anyone else, won't matter if we keep performing like we did today. I don't trust us to win when it really matters I.e when we're in striking distance of the sides above us. We had no urgency and frankly looked scared today.

 

[nelsonpfc]

Weathered an Oxford onslaught and did what sides who go up do. Stay in matches, defend well and snatch a win. Plymouth did it plenty of times last season. Fair play to Oxford they are full of running and very good at turning over the ball and bang are in and around your penalty area in a flash

 

[masi51]

Us and Derby are Shite, Portsmouth are bang average........Championship have nothing to worry about next season

 

[Tangerine_tart]

Agreed. All teams promoted will struggle without significant investment.

Derby where no better than the side we beat last season today, there’s no outstanding quality this season and the gulf is growing between L1 and Championship.

The quality of the Championship isn't anything special bar the top 4 . The quality of league 1 this season is as bad as I've experienced for years .

 

[Don Tonberry]

Yeah I thought Oxford were unlucky to lose today but Mousinho got his substitution spot on when bringing the more physical Saydee on to wrestle back some control.

Ten games to go, we probably need to win half of them to win promotion and finally say goodbye to League One after seven (mostly dire) years.

 

[folletto]

Didn’t watch the game today so can’t comment too much but sounds like we edged it and should have won but threw it away with an awful error. Would have taken a point before the game but winning this would have taken a lot of pressure off ahead of tuesday

I hope you do. It's about time .

If you could donate us three points next week that would be lovely.

 

[Tangerine_tart]

If you could donate us three points next week that would be lovely.

We need to win or goodbye playoffs. I'm looking forward to it.

To be fair we are 7 points clear at the top, without Regan Poole, Joe Morrell, Alex Robertson Tino Anjorin, Tom Lowery, Tom Mcintyre, and without 2 other cental midfielders, played most of the season without Regan Poole and Conor Ogivile whos probably the best LB in the division. We've well beaten most of the sides in midtable and below, and not lost to any of the teams in the play off spaces

 

[SF_]

The fact Jordan Rhodes & Chris Martin have dropped a level and tore up this league suggests the quality is pretty dire. Even Dwight Gayle is off the mark.

They'd struggle to muster 10 goals between the three of them in the Championship.
