FT LCFC 2 - 2 Stevenage

[ozvaldo]

We’re officially League 1 mid table shit. 

We’re not underperforming.  This is just what we’ve become as a club. 

 

And that’s just how it is.

If that’s the case then we should maybe stop paying the highest wages in the league

Bookies haven’t caught on yet so at least there’s chance to make some money off the losers before they do. 
 

4/1 on the draw before kick off today. Mind boggling

I don't think Liam Cullen should be lumped in with them pair. Looks an honest lad, busy and has scored three lovely goals. He's ok by me 

 

As for those from Ipswich, jeez

 

 

Cullen is not the problem, his work rate, movement, and goals, have been very much welcome. 

Bobby, chaplin and burns on the other hand, are simply jobs for the boys! 

 

Russell blasts on about energy all the time,  when they come on they literally zap any we may of had.

Another shit result andMartin needs to ditch this system. We need to be more attacking. Wings back do not help and we do not need three ****ing cloggers who can't defend at the back.

Because we played well and gave everything 

Yes, passing it around on the halfway line in injury time, really putting a shift in.

 

Jesus Christ, it's amazing how differently some people see the game.

 

We played ok in small spells against STEVENAGE. And played at around 60% capacity (or is it intelligence) for the most part.

 

Bar the 3 or 4 younger players nobody gives the slightest f**k about what happens in the pitch, not even any professional pride in their game. 

 

So frustrating to watch what has happened to us

[Blueman1967]

Game we should won, with chances created

I'm not defending RM I'm talking about today's performance being good and we should have won. It's a very disappointing result and bad defending letting us down again like at Luton

todays performance good?!?! 

like really? 

that was good

first 10 mins maybe but the rest, christ, it was pretty pathetic for a team that wants to get out of this league

Yes absolutely. 
 

When I think of “giving everything” I think of games like the play off finals in the 90s, where the running, tackling, effort, 50/50 challenges, running with and without the ball, are clearly lung bursting levels of effort.

 

I think of players throwing themselves at a far post ball with 2% chance of getting it, putting their body where it hurts, doing anything to block a shot, never thinking of anything other than winning.
 

I think of Les Ferdinand knocking himself out heading the ball then defender, and when he smelt the smelling salts asking if it went in.
 

At the final whistle, seeing them drop to the grass unable to muster the energy to walk to the changing rooms. 
 

Being on your feet throughout the game urging them on, hoping that your noise, your positive energy is helping them to keep digging so deep. Appreciating the super human levels of effort, imagining players running through a wall if the manager asked them to.

 

I’ve not seen us give a performance where we’ve “given everything” for several years.

 

Today was so far away from that it feels like a different sport. 

And after all that, hundreds of fans still clap the fvckers off. The standards are the lowest they have ever been. 

[MGLCFC]

After the disappointment of dropping two points at home, on reflection I thought the overall performance was one of our better ones at home. Subs were ineffectual, but we were still very dominant. You can't account for the error McCarthy made and the defending for the one attack Stevenage had was poor, but it was good to see Alves and Thomas putting in great balls from their respective wings. Yes disappointed, but I wouldn't call it a sh1t performance.

I'm the first to pounce when we've been shit as we have for the last few years but today I felt we played well, it seems im in the minority. 

[oxtonfox]

Wondering whether Martin has agreed in their contracts to play Burns, OHara and Chaplin and even Cullen whenever they’re fit enough regardless of their form or the game situation. I’d love to see the points and goals for and against stats when they’ve been on the pitch. They’ll all be in the top 10 earners in this league  I reckon and proving the most costly. 

Shocking situation this club is in with Russell’s achievements bouncing like a ballbearing on a bagatelle table

[Kopic]

Not bad enough for me. We'll never get rid of him with results like that.

Yeah we see the game differently I guess

[Plastik Man]

Plain and simple we cannot keep gifting goals to the opposition.

 

If you do, you don't win enough games. And by god, these games are winnable! 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is the problem with the idiots running the club. 
 

They’ve ****ed is over a sustained period of time. 
 

God knows what we’re paying Burns and Chaplin combined per week. 
 

When we don’t go up this season, and we lose the likes of Page, Sammy B, & Alves in the summer, we’ll be properly ****ed.

Even if you think the squad is that level, and it’s not. I completely disagree with you. A half decent manager has us top easily. 
 

The amount spent and wages spent dwarfs anyone and it’s incomprehensible how that awful **** Rudkin is anywhere near a job. I wouldn’t trust him to manage my 99 year old Gran’s tampon delivery.

Not a bad point.

Bits of performance were encouraging.

Fans were poor again

 

**** me, of a point against Stevenage isn’t bad, than a reach around from Freddy Kruger probably isn’t either……

[Pliskin]

This is the type of game the realisation hits you, that we probably won’t exist in a couple of years. 

[South Shire Fox]

Say it every week. Theres no pace in the team, especially on the bench. Theres no one you can turn to on the bench that has a bit of xfactor about them or will stretch a team. Its all samey samey, needs to be addressed in jan. 
 

Actually thought we played ok today but 2 pieces of shite defending and having no plan b to break down a team cost us the win

[Groby_Blue]

I don't get why Bristric isn't even in the squad. If you need a goal in the last ten minutes, you stick a second striker on and lump balls into the box. Two up front can cause havoc. I'd just like to see what him and Riis can do on the pitch at the same time.

Good effort but you're no Phil. 

[Rubbersoul]

Thought Page played some really nice passes 

[whoareyaaa]

Howell and Biscuit should be on the bench for me, Burns is shocking.
