Hope your red wine has corked. Stop making stupid predictions 

It's not stupid.  Before the match, I said a draw would be a stretch.  We were up against 10 men and at half time, I fancied us extremely strongly to get the win.  Not many dissenting voices when we were 2-1 up.

Would have taken a draw before the match but after going 1-2 up against ten men we really should have held on feels a bit like a defeat

Definitely i200 !

Though it's disappointing that it's Senior's womans Portuguese lad that scores the goals.

Steeles shyte along with Raya give me De Gea not Raya.

[bluefred]

Good point overall , same again at Fulham now

Cairney, Judge, King 

Cairney - superb in his 1st season, average in his second. Moved on for 5 times what we paid for him. Can't have played that badly.

King and Judge - you can't underperform if you never play.

Glad you don't give the team talk in the dressing room!  We'd be beaten before we started.  Cheer up!

[DE.]

If we're being brutally honest, this was a perfect opportunity to get three unexpected points, and we blew it. Nonetheless, I'm absolutely sure we would have lost this one under Coyle. We remain undefeated and hopefully that keeps confidence up. Joao has certainly given Mowbray a decision to make on Tuesday.

Another moan yet again.

You want us to do badly just so you can moan about it. Pretty sad tbh.

agent work not going very well now

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

A decent point in other circumstances but we need WINS....we fall back into bottom three.There is no easing of pressure even after this result.

Too much damage done under Coyle I fear and I'm sticking with my prediction that our survival is going right down to the wire.

Nothing gloating in my post. Read it again and maybe quote all of it when replying. 

Try and be a fair moderator and not just side with "seasoned posters"

Given that several 'seasoned posters' were recently banned, and I was on YOUR side only a couple of days ago (resulting in a brief argument with one of those 'seasoned posters'), I suggest you pipe down with suggestions of nepotism. You were very lucky not to be banned for winding up over a dozen posters when you first joined (other newbies as well as the old guard), so don't be under any impression we mods owe you.

As for the game, I would've taken a draw before the match but I have to say I'm gutted we didn't hold on to a potentially vital 2 pts.

I'm writing off the Fulham game but we need to beat PNE at home next Saturday, that will be a real battle with 7,000 Preston fans behind the goal

they'll be really up for it, let's hope we are.

Must win game imo.

[Messi422]

Should Joao start against Fulham?

Don't worry, we'll have 8000 dotted around the ground

The last six games of the season are where we will get our survival points.  I see us getting 10 to 12 points from those games, starting with Barnsley at home, and that will get us to safety with something to spare.

[RV Blue]

Feels like a loss at the minute but I'm sure tomorrow it'll look feel like a decent point.

[GanG2245]

Not looking good to be honest. Except forest every other team managed to get at least a point. 

[islander200]

De Gea?Balaji find that 50 million behind his sofa for that war chest Nixon promised

Not sure there's a decision to be made to be fair, all the other strikers have been pretty poor in the recent games.

Over a dozen? Really. That is clearly untrue. It is the same core crew of posters here who jump on anyone who tries to objectively look at where we are now and going under a new manager, as opposed to repeatedly regurgitating the same old stuff we all know inside out. I have never been abusive to anyone, but have gotten plenty for having "alternative views" Which means basically not wanting to go over the last 6 years again and again. The reason you "were on my side" was because the aforementioned poster was being being unreasonable and borderline abusive. Were you not just, am, moderating? 

"Pipe down" "don't be under any impression we mods owe you" As a moderator, you should be embarrassed to be making those types of remarks.

There wasn't a possibility that wouldn't happen with the fixtures though, Wigan lost and forest lost at least.

He might have annoyed a few people in his first few posts (me included) he didn't do enough to warrant a ban imo. His pro-Coyle opinion was garbage but he should be allowed to have that opinion without being banned.

[cesus]

Before the game great point, 1 down becomes a superb. 70 minutes against ten men and 2-1 up can't help but feel disappointed. Not picking up enough wins instead of draws could finish us as we haven't had any "stinkers" yet under Mowbray which we all know we have in us and that has me rather worried.

Actually, I had posted a similar opinion to yours before you. So while I was moderating, I was also genuinely in agreement with you.

Looking back at the thread in question and at PMs and reports, 4 of the posters had signed up in the previous week. Ergo, newbies.

Ever thought that the seasoned posters are generally here because they contribute very well to the forum and don't often wind up others?

I thought pipe down was an adequate phrase to use for someone who has had the benefit of the doubt several times and now is upset that he is 'being moderated'.

So either continue this by PM or in the Admin threads.

I absolutely agree with you. However, it wasn't a pro-Coyle opinion that had us hovering over the week-ban button.

Great point looks like the Bristol City game will be very important.
