So we got a draw against Citeh because 19 year old Jack Hinshelwood, 20 year old Yankuba Minteh and 21 year old Carlos Baleba made the wrong decisions.

That'll do for me :clap:
Nothing wrong with Minteh & Baleba's decisions.....

Execution was piss poor, but the decision making was spot on.

I’ve seen a few comments criticising the ref so I appreciate this is a common view, but I just don’t see it. I thought he had a decent game
Would you have disallowed Mitoma's goal though? Keeper in no way had the ball in his control.

But let's br honest, he was ready to flash a yellow at Brighton in the first half. How it wasn't a yellow that led to our first goal is beyond me.
Probably because it was barely a foul. I was surprised he gave us a free-kick!
Can't card someone if ref plays advantage apparently.

I was shocked when I was told this.
Seems crazy.
Don't think that can be the case. Ref gave a Fulham player a yellow last week a good minute after the offence, he'd played advantage and then carded him next time the ball went out of play.

Agree.

The take away for me was we were the better attacking team, in fact the better team. We had the better chances and should have won. f*** me we'd take that.

Us old gits have one problem after years of struggle and that is we are a f***ing good team/squad/club. Teams fear us. We though, still expect the same old same old., times are a changing.

'kin el. I just checked last season's data and we now have 5 more points than at the same stage in 2023/24. Also, we are only one point behind our total at the end of that season with 9 games still to go!!

(unless I've misread something!)

If only we hadn't thrown the points away against Wolves, Leciester and Saints at home. We would have been sitting very pretty.
Stop torturing yourself. Against Southampton we were lucky not to lose as they had a winning goal ruled out for an awful VAR decision. We also got lucky against Man United at home and grabbed a last second winner last week. It’s all swings and roundabouts.

Frustrating as deserved to win . Those chances we had were gimmes

That’s said , city has a spell or two and we could have gone under both times when behind .

We went head to head with them and we are disappointed with the result

Says it all !!

Roll on forest . We all need to make that a special atmosphere

Obviously he's quality, I'm not thick. He's just not quite at the level some think he is. Yet
:rolleyes: He is the best ever player to play for us.

Hyperbole. He has the highest ceiling, but he's not there yet.

The best player to ever play for us is subjective, but he's not on Mac Allister, Mitoma, Lawrenson, or Caicedo's (in his final season) levels consistently.

That's just my opinion though, you're welcome to yours too
