    Nonsense you do post some crap, a point here is not a bad result, 0 - 0 game over.

    That’s a stonewall penalty. Just saw the reply. He takes Cook out from behind

    Hard earned point against a team scrapping for survival.

    Win on Monday and decent haul for Easter

    Overall... A draw isn't good enough. But the team didn't do enough. Same boring crap again.

    I actually enjoyed that.

    A good old fashioned L2 match.

    Fine with a point at a ground where we're always awful and when you consider the Salford, Northampton and Stevenage results - everything to play for.

    Provided we win on Monday of course.

    I await the Happy Clapper and I'm too easily satisfied comments ;)

    No one say they'd of taken a point or its a point earned.

    That was garbage from start to finish

    Presume Northampton and Stevenage will be saying same tonight too then.

    Plenty of twists and turns still to come

    What a horribly frustrating watch that was, as if we were almost trying to NOT win the game. Cook misses 3 great chances, every other attack had someone miscontrolling the ball in the middle of a great opportunity, awful crosses and selection of final ball - with Banks especially guilty of awful decision making, then Hughes brings on Costelloe which is akin to going down to 10 men, then with 15 mins left he takes off a forward and brings on an extra defender and just to cap it off, Platt is needlessly sent off.

    Honestly, we wasted so many opportunities to win that game and the manner in which we didn't is ultimately why we won't be getting top 3.

    My take

    If Crawley want to survive they waste time at home…..

    We
    Cook had three great chances
    Banks …waste of space today
    Extremely poor game
    Middle and front three ..totally flat

    But they waste time at home , I just don’t get?

    :joy::joy: I hadn't even seen this comment before I made my latest post.

    No. What you have is some realistic supporters, who know full well that L2 is terrible, because no matter how skilled your players are - you are given zero time.

    Yep, clever move from Cook to shield the ball but the ref sez you can tackle him from behind, laughable!

    Nothing happening for the Cookie Monster today
    Nor Walker either
    And deffo nothing happening with Banks and Derbyshire

    Crawley's attackers offered little but then City needed to do better in this game,
    Another draw what a surprise!
    City have caught Walsallitis

    Do the business Monday, Stevenage drawing Northampton and Salford losing, yes we should have won Cook missed a couple of easy chances for him but not the end of the world.

    Cook should take the blame for this draw.. Missed 2 sitters, anyone watching him play today would be wondering how he is the league's top scorer.. Terrible first touch and solo immobile, should be dropped for Monday
