MattGamble92 Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 This score line hasn't just been familiar to us this year at the at home. It's been a curse since we moved from Filbert Street. Time after time after time I have walked away from that ground knowing we should have won the game. Yet for no apparent reason we have had 20+ shots at goal, the opposition has had 1 or 2 and its ended 0-1. You can say all you want about teams shutting up shop and going for a break but there comes a point when you start to think its a curse. Since 2003 we've had so many different teams, managers and tactics yet this scoreline seems to be so familiar with that ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grewks Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Curse But seriously, since i have followed city, it has always been the same story. Good keeper and defence, but we need a goalscorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattGamble92 Posted 30 March 2013 Author Share Posted 30 March 2013 I'm just saying games off the top of my head so I'm not sure, think it was a dodgy rebound though MY WEEKEND IS RUINED AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Agree. Teams know how to come here and set up for a 1-0 smash and grab. The list of poor champ teams we should've beat but end up losing 1-0 to is unreal. Rotherham Watford Crewe ? Brighton ? Burnley x 3!!! Leeds Forest Southampton ?

Aus Fox Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 I remember Brighton a few years ago they had a defender playing forward who scores a cracker for a 1 0 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2003 we've had so many different teams, managers and tactics yet this scoreline seems to be so familiar with that ground. It's older than the original founders of our beloved game but the old adage is that if you can' t put ball in the back of the net then you're obviously either going to lose or at best only draw games - and ultimately not be successful! Yes, 20 shots on goal with none scored compared to the opposition's one goal with their two shots on target all game is an overwhelming ratio itself and indeed does raise serious questions about our strikeforce et al on the pitch but that's football, it happens - especially when you're on a run of one win in nine! It seeems harsh when all's told but - that's football ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
