Beauseant 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Inevitably our uninspired performance has disappointed many, but some of the overreaction is just silly. We''ve played a highly motivated Carlisle team without our best centreback combination and several players have been very underpar (Holt, Wes, Martin ,Rusty, Smith and Lappin). That''s the WHOLE of our midfield and front two offcolour in the same game!It was always going to happen but surely its better to have a performance like this in a cup than in the League? If we replicate tonight''s showing at Southend there may be a case for ranting and raving, but there isn''t tonight.Oh, and in case you think I missed Nelson in my list of those performing below their standard, it''s because, sadly, I think he did play to his!

ron obvious 1,511 Posted November 28, 2009 Couple of observations (courtesy of my slide-show viewing experience!)Pericard was different class - including at cheating. Anyinsah was a handful too.Ref seemed quite happy for Keogh to throw Wes around like a rag doll (under his nose, too).Nelson is ... ahem, very limited.Lambert seemed strangely subdued.I''m really getting a bit concerned about Martn''s attitude. And I''m wondering if Grant is too.(OK so that''s 5. I lied.)Next game will be very informative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Calm down you say?Your post provides a litany of excuses which cannot disguise the plain lack of heart in the city performance. The only one including the manager who seemed to care was Chris Martin! At least he showed the he was plainly more than pissed off to be substituted.How many times did we approach - let alone penetrate - the Carlisle penalty area in the second half? How did the second half outcome reflect the tactical instructions at halftime? The players owe the ''small knot'' of travelling supporters a ticket refund if you ask me.But as you suggest, Southend and Oldham next week will be a stern test of the manager''s mettle.Calm down? Having inveigled a few of my friends to watch the match with me on Setanta on the other side of the Atlantic I am acutely embarassed. Calm down?Hmph!OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''ve only been on here for about three minutes and the posts are absolutlely ridiculous! The defeat was coming as we havn''t been at our best in the last couple of games (apart from Brighton) but it''s only our second loss in 13 (I think) and we have won ten of those games. Lambert is defiantely the man to get the squad going for tuesday night and I''m sure there will be a great away following and I am almost certain we will smash Southend to pieces.

Methane 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Lets see what PL does on Tuesday as a reaction to those who failed so visibly today.Lots of us still remember the charlton no-showers who form our so-called defence alongside the wheelie-bin newcomer.Lets hope the medical team get busy on Spillane and Francomb and that new signing is good or we can kiss goodbye to top six.

Christov 3 Posted November 28, 2009 Have to agree with the original post, as disapointing as a defeat is its in a cup competition we have no chance in winning.It was annoying that we didn''t show up second half and had the ref had a decent set of eyes to spot hand balls and blatent pushes it may have been different but we should have played to the whistle. Hopefully this is now the wake up call we needed to realise its not simply a case of turning up and the win magically appears as we''re ''a big fish in a small pond''. Having gone to the league game there I thought we were lucky to come away with the win as the game was strangely very similar, its just that today they turned pressure in to goals.I expect to see a few changes made for Tuesday as far to many players had an off day today.

PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted November 28, 2009 I think what this shows is that Bob Franklin was right all along - that Lambert inherited a load of unmitigatedly unmanageable dross from whoever the previous incumbent was, and that eventually this poisoned inheritance was bound to result in some humiliating defeat, the effects of which would sabotage our whole season.At least I think that was Bob''s argument...
