6 games left of this season and 2nd place is still in our hands. We were beaten by the better team last night but there's no point getting downbeat over it and letting it affect us over the coming games. Bit of over the top negativity from some after last night's result and there's no need for us to throw the towel in when we are still in 2nd spot. I'm sure Bruce and the players won't be giving up on automatic promotion so there's no reason why supporters should be either. Let's get behind the team, they'll need our support more than ever over the next 6 games. If we finish in the play offs or in the automatic spots we've still had a great season.
 
What I don't understand about last night was how quiet our fans were, you'd think in a game like that everyone would be shouting and singing?

But yeah I agree with Banana, its still in our hands and we still have a very good chance of keeping 2nd.

They commented on that on 5Live - how flat the atmosphere was from the home fans. Whenever you could hear singing it was the Watford fans you could hear

It was disappointing atmosphere wise. When Watford started to get on top about 15/20 minutes in the only noise the crowd around me in E10 made was to berate the players and get on their backs.

It's quite simply goals. People need to be excited and a goal does that. Look at the Watford fans when they scored. Fans need something to cheer about. Last night was the first time we had a big crowd all season but it was just an anti-climax in the end because we didn't score.
 
The atmosphere for the first 10/15 minutes was good, really loud and a few different songs, but then Watford started to get on top and their fans got louder.

What really annoys me though is that every time a song starts in E1/2 the morons further down the East Stand start that horrible Steve Bruce's Black and Amber Army song where half the people just clap and the other half shout Steve Bruce in a stupid voice!
 
it's all square in reality since we won't match their GD..

If we can't beat Boro we're in trouble, since right now they're dire & can't score..

Watford will beat Cardiff so it's a must win.

No it isn't all square. We've got a point more than them and if the season finished today we'd get promoted.

People are obsessed with GD but it never comes down to it and it won't this season. Every time we lose some wise **** comes on Humberside blessing us with his wisdom that our goal difference will prevent us from getting promoted <doh>

No the atmosphere is just **** at the KC stadium these days , do people really not remember when fans actually got behind the team ?
 
i was in e3 and when watford sang they listened instead of out-singing them.
i must be the only one with a sore throat .:undecided:
 
I would say the game was 50/50 in the end. Even Zola admitted that much. But our A game was sadly missing for large parts last night and we paid the price for sloppy and lax marking.

No need to be downbeat as it will hopefully re-focus the lads for the last 6 games.

I just shudder to think what the over reaction and hype would have been today IF Hull City had won last night ?

Promotion was always going to go down to the other 5 games this April and nothing has changed.

City beat Middlesboro and the gap is back to 4 points. Watford v. Cardiff kicks off @ 5.20pm Live on sky and the pressure goes back to the Hornets.

If Cardiff win @ Watford then that more or less gives them the title. We lost that chance last night sadly imo.

Yes agreed. Thankfully after saturday 3 of our remaining games are away. 20,000 plus last night and its still a library most of the time. This has got to be addressed in the summer,, somehow.
 
Where I was in the west stand the Hull support didn't take long to get on the players backs, we have a group at Watford who do the same, and it isn't pleasant, this was probably one of the reasons Scott Loach left Vicarage Road. The players do hear what is going on in the stands (even if they claim otherwise) so if the visiting team can stiffle the match or worse get the upper hand and the home fans react negatively then the home team's moral goes.
 
I never expected us to get automatic promotion so far all season and still don't, so I'm not too bothered about Watford closing in. We are nowhere close to a finished article and are pretty much a jumbled together patchwork team, so it would be a miracle if we went up. Think well probably finish 3rd and get absolutely trounced in the play off semis, and before anyone jumps on my back I've been saying this all season.

Still it's not over for second yet, I fully expected Watford to **** us over last night and they did. We're still a point in front, and had we started yesterday 2 points behind them and beat them to go a point in front everyone would be ecstatic.

We've only looked like a fluent genuine promotion team in a handful of games this season, whenever we meet other top sides we get totally outclassed and when a game really matters the team goes for walkies. We're not good enough and I think we need another pre season to get everyone working on the same wave length and playing like a team. Lets hope and pray that QPR and Villa don't come down as they'll both piss away with first and second.

Yes, before we got to the premiership

That's bollocks, apart from the last two or three home games that season the KC was empty and dead.

The atmosphere this season has been pretty good IMO, at least it is where I sit, maybe if all these "I'm the only singer in my section" lot came over to the East stand it would be louder for longer?!

And what are you going to do if we don't go up then?

A win for us and Watford on Saturday will have Cardiff needing regular undergarment changes.

Big test for Cardiff. A win and they'll have 11 pt gap to 3rd. It's a bit like our game last night.

The idea of support is to get behind the team and inspire them. Not wait until they do something and then applaud them. Watford outsung us from the start.
You don't really get this support thing, do you?
