    As others have said, we’re not assured of a playoff place. But also, why would we throw away that 5th spot and the better draw that comes with it? Playing a weakened team for one game for the sake of resting players would be extremely risky.

    Wow, you just won’t have it, will you.

    The fact here is simple: he was offside, it was given immediately - I saw it from the Barclay - and what happened after that is irrelevant.  The ref’s whistle went as/before the shot was made.

    In terms of ‘offsides’ we didn’t get away with anything on Saturday, however much you appear to want it to be otherwise.

    I guess we'll agree to disagree. But it's kind of telling that about 50% of our fans think otherwise, even with their yellow and green spectacles on...

    In any case, my main point is simply that we were lucky to get a point, although I'm very happy that we did. It was a poor performance and even Wagner admitted that (which is unusual for him).

    He does look to be ahead of the line, albeit marginal. So looks like the correct decision from the lino to me!

    He's partially obscured by Mccallum in this shot but Sarge does seem to be playing him on (and possibly one other). I'd have been livid if this had been the other way.

    Thank you for the arrow, I was wondering which of the 3 Bristol City players that look ahead of our defence we looking at?

    As there is none of our defenders near him, I would suggest the guy at the bottom will have Gunn's eye, so technically would be interfering with play? 

    Standing in an offside position away from the play is not "interfering with play".

    I do wonder why so many seem to try to find something to worry about…whenever we win it’s always ’oh, but they created so many chances’, this time it’s ’oh, but our goal was offside’. It wasn’t. If Leicester’s goal against us earlier this season was onside, so was this one.

    Weird interpretation. How is pointing out that we benefited from an incorrect decision “finding something to worry about”. I think the general feeling is relief.

    Let's call it what it is.

    I'm generally a pro Wagner, but that was a huge capitulation against the second from bottom side. The defense just fell apart, and the manager didn't help by taking off all attacking threat and settling for a point at the end. I can understand taking off Sargent at 2-0, given how critical it is he stays fit, but Sainz for Duffy seemed like throwing in the towel. This team is better than that. We need to be braver away from home, and that starts with the manager. 

    That said, let's keep things in perspective. We're still in a great position and our form generally has been excellent since the turn of the year. If key players stay fit (Sarge in particular), we should make the playoffs with games to spare.

    And I still do not see that this is damaging to the club, because I have yet to see anyone out there taking what Webber said as showing the club in a bad light. No-one out there is suggesting Norwich City has been guilty of racial stereotyping.

    The association (with SW in a very senior position within the club until recently) does reputational damage to the club even though he's no longer technically an employee. He was SD here for 6 years, and it needed to be made clear that this was an individual's personal views and not indicative of the culture within the club itself. That's why it was important they released a statement distancing themselves from what he said. To not do so would be to implicitly condone it.

    These comments sum up his main character flaws perfectly:

    1. He is a bigot. We saw this previously with his dismissive comments on the women's team. 

    2. His comments to the media are a total liability 

    3. He has a massive ego, the same massive ego that utterly destroyed our last premier league season after he wrongly assumed he could easily replace our two best players, sending the club into a downward spiral. 

    Even if you think these comments weren't racist, they showed a massive degree of insensitivity, not just to the players themselves, but to young black footballers generally. Prospective employers may not look kindly on such comments.

    The logic was that Fisher was a better prospect, despite having only played non league before. I don’t think that worked out either to be fair. I am surprised Mumba hasn’t kicked on for Plymouth though. Given his previous season with them (albeit in L1), I don’t think that was really an outcome anyone predicted.

    Idah needed a loan previous seasons. He didn't desperately need one this season when he was scoring important goals from the bench and getting good minutes. Especially not in January, mid-season, mid-playoff-push. 

    The fact that he didn't get a loan in previous seasons made it all the more important that he got regular game time this season. As others have stated, he wouldn't have had this with us once both Barnes and Sargent were back.

    These are exactly the type of long term considerations that a good SD should be considering. Not just thinking about the club's on pitch success this season, but future seasons too, and maintaining the value of our assets. Idah's development has been massively stifled by a lack of game time and that's because of short term thinking and poor decision making from those in charge. It's good to see it finally being rectified under Knapper.

    Other than that, Knapper loaned out Idah and brought in SvH - so there's certainly a lot of room for improvement.

    The jury is still out on SvH (agreed that he hasn't set the world alight yet), but Idah was desperately in need of a loan. The fact that he spent so many seasons without regular football was borderline negligence on the part of the previous SD.
