Only saw the 2nd half but how good was Nicky Carle. Hes added about 5 yards of pace since I last saw him play in the A-League. Looks like a better passer of the ball with both feet. Surely hes gonna play in the World Cup qualifiers coming up. He assisted both goals in the end.

I didn't notice anything different from usual.

Just a bitter, bitter, horrible man.

No kidding. Warnock complains about pretty much everything. I really hope Bristol City advance to stuck it right up him and check out his next excuse!!

I thought Carle was the standout player for the match...if only they didn't use him quite so deep in midfield...

Very dissapointed with the result, but it's far from over yet. It was our worst performance for 6 months, couldn't put two passes together all day and the few times we got it up there the finishing was very poor, and in the end a penalty was probably the only way we were going to score. Full credit to Speroni and Sincliar, were clearly our best.

Full credit to City, they played well, and 2 fantastic goals. Can't wait for Wednesday to get another crack at them.

 

[FrangaRoo]

What a cracking goal!

I bloody hate the wurzels, but i couldnt help but admire their attacking midfield play (pity they have a plonker like Trundle in the box)

Brizzle deserved the win, so i reckon justice was served when Noble hit that cracker, roll on Watford & Hull tonight.

 

[drewie_rama]

one of the best things about the playoffs is that there is no away goals rule

 

[ShearMagic9]

That is what makes it good IMO too drewie

So we have the big Watford vs. Hull City tonight. Predictions?

Watford to win 2-0 is mine.

 

[DonMania#5]

Cracking game last night, great goal by Noble..

Watford to win comfortably tonight imo.

 

[DB10]

Watford to take it 3-1.

 

[Corrosion]

Hull 2-1

 

[jefffff34]

Richard Garcia on the counter. 0-1 Hull.

 

[jefffff34]

Did anyone else see another Richard Keys blooper then?

 

[DonMania#5]

Watford goal disallowed, very unlucky..

 

[jefffff34]

Nicky Barmby!!!

 

[ShearMagic9]

Watford goal disallowed, very unlucky..

It was rightly disallowed in my opinion.

Hah! The skysports commentator got carried away after Bristols first goal and called him a world class striker, I near pissed myself!

 

[drewie_rama]

windass!!!!!
its two

 

[Ricketts]

Super Dean!

Go Sam Ricketts too

 

[drewie_rama]

best save i reckon ive seen this season

 

[Benno_900]

WTF? That was a pretty soft red for Watford.

 

[jefffff34]

How is that a red card?

 

[ShearMagic9]

How is that a red card?

He's gone in for a massive kick of the ball, and missed, making contact with the player.

Can see how it was given.

Cracking win by Hull though.

 

[dascman03]

It may have been the softest red all season, but either way, CARN THE TIGERS!

Wow, I never thought I'd say that!

Seriously though, the red card may be rescinded through the week.

Hull looked seriously threatening every time they went forward, even when Shittu was on the park. Fraizer Campbell looks a beauty, and Windass is perfect for the CCC, with his ability to just rein in long balls and, more importantly, keep possession.

I've been on the Hull bandwagon since about November (when I used them in FM), so I'd be absolutely rapt if they go up.

Toot Toot!

Love to see Crystal Palace get promoted to the Premier League. Were they playing at home with that 2-1 loss??? and also is their away goal rules in the playoffs?

Crystal Palace were at home.

No away goals.
