Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko · 13h Replying to @reluctantnicko Who do you see in the play off hunt still Al? Barnsley, Reading, Bournemouth and Cardiff to fight for the last two spaces? Cardiff run out of steam a bit. Bournemouth fixtures are decent. Reading have flair but can be flaky. Too hard to call. Barnsley will make it ... mad as badgers but a whole lot of fun. Nobody will want to play Barnsley. The running and chasing was back today. With a bit more calmness around the box that’s a win today ... 1
He's right. I am sick of people thinking we were lucky to get a point because of the Joao miss but not mentioning us hitting the woodwork twice, having more of the ball, nearly a dozen more shots and having a goal cancelled that shouldn't have been. It's Reading who should feel lucky to have got away with a point.
We were lucky three times in the game, twice when they missed when scoring was easier and once when the ref spotted the penalty, many times the ref wouldn’t have given it. The gods of football were with us. May the force remain with us.
You are absolutely right, but it was no more or less a penalty than the ones in the Wednesday match and they weren’t given.
It was a nailed on pen but sometimes not given like the 2 nailed on ones against Wednesday that the ref missed border line assault on dike.
Absolutely a pen and there were a few other incidents which could have been as well leading up to the one given.
We were lucky, but so were they, the opportunity for’ that miss’ was presented to them on a plate by us, so that was lucky for them. Lucky for them that the ball twice hit the woodwork. Lucky for them a perfectly good goal was disallowed,
If one of our strikers had scored their goal we’d have been raving about it. This game had everything but a winner. Seven games to go and it’s in our hands.
Still not convinced the officials got it right about the disallowed goal Dike was being pushed and pulled by the keeper prior to it crossing the line.... Still say it was daylight robbery... denied 3pts today
