Got back about 2 hours ago to very mixed feelings. In all truth I have had a great day bar the result.
We got up and left at around about 10 this morning and headed up to Coventry, we hadn't been since the new stadium opened so we were looking forward to get up there. We arrived up North at around 12.30 and parked in a car park right next to the motoway(cheers for the link Goddard-was a flipping long walk though
) After that we went to the 'away' pub but in truth it was dead with about 5 other Rangers fans! After a few drinks we walked to the stadium and stopped of at another pub which did great Burgers, finally managed to feel our stomachs! I have to say, the location of the Richoh is an absolute dump, we ended up walking along a canal and industrial site to the stadium! Not nice The stadium is in complete contrast however, it is very modern and has amazing facilities-just a shame they can't fill it because the Atmosphere was diabolical.
Anyway, on to the match. First thing to say is their goal was very lucky, took two shocking deflections before rolling into the net. First half we weren't great but they were not much better. No real chances for either sides. The only one of note for us was a Buzz freekick which was awfully close to creeeping in. The biggest entertainment was the people behind me who spent the whole game moaning at everything with very colourful language
Second half we were by far the better team. They rarely looked liked scoring, then again nor did we but I felt we still carried a greater threat. There was two occasions were we should have one was a set piece which from memory damo headed-how the keeper saved it only God knows. We also came extremley close in the last minute when German fired across the box to Simpson who missed making contact with the ball by a whisker-had he touched it, it was a certain goal.
We definatley desrved something from the game but we just didnt get the rub of the green.
Bad performences....
Priskin was shocking
Ramage was shocking
Ikme can kick for cookie
Buzsaky went missing
Hill poor once again
Taarabt made no impact
Good performences
Simpson worked hard
Faurlin was quality and man of the match by a long shot
Cookie played well
German also looked good
Fans on both sides were also poor today-worst atmosphere I have heard in a long long time
