Just imagine if they were not under a 3 window transfer embargo and were able to sign a striker……. Playoffs would have been pretty much on point

Bulut's signed quite a few strikers. One of them has scored 10 goals this season, 6 of them for Wednesday. I don't think it is guaranteed we'd be miles better off with a striker. Ugbo is seemingly half decent given he has near enough 1 in 2 for Wednesday in 23rd, and Bulut couldn't get anything out of him.

[Citizen's Nephew]

Great result today but I'm still so angry about Friday I can't get excited. I didn't watch any of it but if you just look at the history books and see the score as a result of 2 OGs then I'm not feeling it....if you know what I mean.

Glad for all those who made the trip and my mate who sent some clips of the celebrations at the end. I don't even know what fixtures we've got left at CCS but I do hope we see something like the energy they showed today.

I needed that! Brilliant!

An entertaining game played between 2 very average sides. Our midfield looked slightly more dynamic with the exclusion of Wintle.

[Forest Green Bluebird]

Take the players to a hotel on Friday, bus ‘em in on Saturday, put the Hull fans in the Canton Stand, fit all of us in the away section. Might just work.

Just had to sit through the whole Leeds v Hull game next to my Yorkie colleague.

Blimey Hull were good ... Leeds winning 3-1 was a travesty.

Leeds last 16 games 14 wins and 2 draws, yet still not top of the pile.

[Forest Green Bluebird]

One has to ask why why why...can they be so bloody awful one game and then this game they actually play ok?

Because they were playing away?

Wintle definitely added dynamism, pace and energy to the midfield when he came on, albeit for a short time.

Get his brother PG making the half time tea

His cousin SG is tuning up for some half-time entertainment.

Is he related to Ian Gibson ?

His brother in law xG has been disappointing again!

[North Cardiff Blue]

Bulut's team rose from the dead a day late on Monday, Fridays team played like they were dead.

Who made the difference?

[North Cardiff Blue]

Not a bad game, but we were gifted two own-goals. Didn't really look like scoring otherwise.

Grant was put through with a great chance, we need two new actual Strikers and we will be pretty good, we are top half with no strikers.

[North Cardiff Blue]

I was super critical of him against Ipswich, he was very lazy. Last two games he has been a revelation.
I am almost sure he must have read my post .........

He plays better with Turnbull as does Siopis, and at the start of the season, when Rambo was in and around the team.

[North Cardiff Blue]

Sometimes it is down to the opposition?

We did have bad luck on Friday as well as playing badly, that was no penalty and no free kick, On Monday we played well and had a lot of luck, two own goals, although the ref still gave us nothing.

[WJ99mobile]

Just because we won doesn’t mean the ref should get let off the hook for a blatant penalty miss.

[Citizen's Nephew]

I get frustrated at this notion of luck in life, sport, the universe.

Luck = random events. Therefore random events = luck. Luck, therefore, doesn't exist. There are only random events. It's why betting has nothing to do with luck. It's random events versus probability and because random events f*ck things up, probability can be f*cked up so don't bet unless you can afford to lose. Therefore, for most of us, don't bet.

All that happened on Monday was a series of random events. Kitching happened to be the conduit. People say "we make our own luck" but we don't. We increase the chances of probability. Which is what Tuerto alluded to in the match thread i.e. get the ball in dangerous areas and you increase the probability of it going in the net.

Relying on the Kitching factor is not a good tactic however. Much better to increase your chances of scoring by having players who probably (xG) will score! Oh...wait!

Referees are human random decision machines. In other words, there is subjectivity. Therefore a 'human' referee is no more than a random number (event) generator. They may have bias when deciding a 50:50 decision. It's still random bias though.

No such thing as luck. Get good at something. You increase your chances of success. There's nothing magical about it.

I've watched the Ng penalty incident numerous times. I've come to conclusion ref was right. Looked to me that Ng deliberately tried to make contact with the Coventry player's leg, to make it look as if he had been fouled. Not sure there was contact anyway.
