    It’s because we haven’t got a German manager and we don’t play in red

    The more you see it the more you see it was a pathetic collapse to the floor by their big lad to con the ref. Unfortunately part of todays game. Give me the 80's when men were men. Non of this namby pamby squealing stuff you hear today.

    Disagree with that, one bad half shouldn't be enough to be dropped, especially since his form during the unbeaten run has been very good.

    We are where we are for a reason, you are right - but over the past 8 games we are 2nd in the League 2 form table so try to enjoy it a bit Fordy! We are far from the finished article and there is still much to do - the positive is there are now some secure stepping stones in place and I am feeling as in touch with our club as I have for a few years now (despite the current situation) :thumbup:

    It was a penalty, I'm really not sure why you're trying to describe it as anything else.

    This threads gone on a bit of a tangent to what I'd asked! Is it only me who feels bad refereeing decisions have reduced this season? Do you think it correlates to no crowd influence, or am i getting less wound up due to watching from the comfort of my home?

    Today's penalty being an example, I bet had I been at the game I'd be enraged by that as you get caught up in the energy of the crowd. But watching on tv I'm a bit more, yeah bit soft but probably was!

    The ref was conned into believing a transgression had occurred. Eddie the Eagle fell faster at the winter olympics.

    Currently we are on a good run but this squad is good enough yet.

    We need to build which we are doing and just be ready for next season.

    I will praise when funny enough I see how we cope with defeat.

    He wasn't conned, it was a definite penalty.

    You’re probably right in the sense that team morale might be affected if we make changes to the starting 11 whilst we’re winning. Being honest, I’m just not an AOC fan. He seems to have 4 or 5 decent games then his arse falls out. It always seems like he’s carrying a mistake in him

    If it’d been the other way, I’d have wanted a penalty, absolutely. I thought AOC struggled with him most of the game

    Agree. Think it's best for both parties if he goes in the summer.

    Yes I think your theory is correct.

    We are not going to go unbeaten all season.

    We'll lose at some point and at that point I want to see how they cope.

    To be honest if @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler is correct and one of the managers has moaned about the ref then that lacks experience and is poor. Maybe, it was to over shadow the poor performance by us.

    I thought the only defender who didnt struggle so much was Cousin Dawson, the other three looked panicked at times. Unusual as they had played well for seven games.

    FCD is growing into the role game by game. He could have a big future
