Who is blaming covid?
Sounds like we about matched one of the top sides in the division and were beaten by a late goal...disappointing - yes, unexpected and a step backwards - not for me

Lambert got on to the end of a very good flick on and sent the ball closer to Barton than the goal despite being in acres of spaceQuakerlad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 1:11 pmStill a difficult decision upfront for me.
Really like Cassidy and applaud his commitment and work rate but think we see why he is playing at this level, it’s only because he doesn’t score enough goals. For me, you cannot play him on his own with two wide men as nobody picks up his flick ons etc, which he is very good at and he isn’t a Charmen type who can create something himself.
To get the best out of him there surely has to be two up front. It was crying out yesterday for O’Neill to come on alongside him to try something different as we had very little goal threat, but don’t think AA was brave enough with his subs. O’Neill was also lost on his own and barely got a kick.

TBF Kiddie denied us time & space all through the game, not tiring after their FA Cup & midweek games even so, we deserved a point.

I can’t see Wheatley going anywhere. He’s one of 4 and we often play 3 in the middle so need the cover. Same with storey, we’re light so even if another is brought in he is cover.PierremontQuaker03 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 12:06 pmFor what its worth I thought the game was pretty even in terms of possession, but Kidderminster created the better chances. Lambert should have taken a touch instead of hitting first time as he had loads of room. In his post match interview you can clearly hear that Alun does not fancy Storey, and I think Wheatley has gone down the pecking order as well, so I would not be surprised if these two are out along with a few of the other duff signings that Alun has made.
I have absolutely no idea, well no idea about one part of it...
It’s genuinely a very poor bit of refereeing. Call it out for what it is.lo36789 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:41 pmI have absolutely no idea, well no idea about one part of it...
At its core Tommy Taylor has done him no favours.
I think he makes the decision to blow the whistle at the point the player appears to have been held and another player makes a challenge - the point where I suppose it appears the initial advantage has gone (he is positioned very centrally and looking down the barrel through players).
I don't think it is definitely a red card due to covering players, lack of control on the ball and distance from goal. I think a red or yellow can be justified really they are individual perspectives.
For me it is a Kiddy free kick and a minimum yellow card for preventing a promising attack.
Taylor's error sort of makes the unexpected happen, reality is in 999/1000 playing an advantage there doesn't lead to any advantage being accrued so can sympathise slightly with it.
If Taylor had heard the whistle and just let it go I don't think there is much to talk about.
I can't explain the initial signal for a defensive free kick.
I think you may have missed your true vocation as you would make a typical politician. I can just imagine you waffling on trying to defend Boris as you seem to enjoy defending the indefensible.lo36789 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 7:51 pmI think it's a mess but, if the question is why has he got to that place, what is the process. It is an awful lot easier from your armchair with hindsight and a video replay.
Put it this way if that was a Darlo player felled you and many other would have likely been screaming for a foul not "play advantage ref", equally had the shot gone straight at the keeper or missed the post would you have been saying "fair enough great advantage"? Remember once the shot is taken it cannot be pulled back.
One attacker versus three defenders with the ball barely under control, outside the penalty area isn't normally a fruitful advantage situation to be fair - especially at our level. I can't work out why the whistle doesn't seem to come until a lot later when he looks like he's already blowing it when he comes into view...https://ibb.co/bztPHv1
Of course had he let it play out then no caution would have been correct. The law was changed two years ago to say you can't go back and caution for fouls where an advantage is played unless it is a reckless tackle.
