So for my footy fix I went to Grimsby town 2 Yeovil 1 Not a bad game Plenty on noise Concessions galore ALLAMS OUT
Lower league football. Quite good isn't it. Watching city in div 4 and 3 was better then it is with the ALLAMS in charge
They're blatantly lying about this. Looking like less and less home fans game by game. One person in attendance, however, was Jak.
I watch Scarborough now Can't be arsed with the hassle it takes to go to city's games when the ALLAMS can't be arsed with ANYTHING for the fans
I might take a leaf out of your book and go watch some of the local East Riding County league stuff. Either that or pub
Finally back home after thr game and Where do you start with that .. selection before the game baffling putting Henriksen with Larsson .. After the Derby shambles and first half was exactly the same .. slow ponderous no movement stifled of ideas no energy .. Henriksen in particular stood ball watching time after time .. probably one of the most pointless selections of all time .. the pondorous nature of the central pairing seemed to flow through the team .. the defence were nervy but trying to play out from the back where the lack of movement in front of them resulting in just launching balls up to Dickho a 5'8" forward playing against 2 x 6ft plus defenders .. defensively again all over the place allowing them too much space and time on the ball resulting in us going in 0-1 down through schoolboy defending again. 2nd half change of personnel and formation .. Meyler on with Toral .. and it showed just why Meyler should start .. suddenly the energy was there .. second balls were being won and the desire was imminent .. chances created and finally a goal .. deserved the point in fact 2nd half showed that we have enough to compete .. probably not enough to mount a serious promotion challenge .. Meyler outstanding when he came on Campbell again very keen to impress and Toral showed some nice touches but needs game time i would suggest .. Henriksen was shocking AGAIN .. Larsson obviously needs energy next to him and I have serious doubts beginning to appear about the Sluts if he can't see this when everyone in the ground knew it before the game kicked off after his selection .. no doubt TWT but in this league i say again .. you need to win the battles to gain the right to play .. having to put right your selection mistakes with 2 subs at half time doesn't leave us much options.. on the plus side Tomori looked decent and the second half with Meyler on the field was a fan sight better then the first .. lessons to be learned
We all know Meylers qualities , and he should have started . But we also know his limitations and the fact he looked like a Gerrard/ Keane/ Zidane hybrid just highlights how ****ing awful nearly everybody else was
My first home game of the season after summer hols., it certainly wasn't pretty, but at least stopped the rot. Not a great start - M62 closed, miles of traffic, taken off at North Cave, & then back on, to negotiate a cycle race (no offence to cyclists). Arrived at KC late, massive queue in the rain to get in, 10 mins after kick off, at least the positive is we didn't have to endure 45 mins of the crap. No sympathy being sort for us ER folks! Still no mirrors in the Ladies loos! First half, no leaders, no direction, what does Henricksen do? Kingsley useless. No wonder Alan was as angry as ... Never thought I would lord Meyler as our saviour, but hell, he made a difference, drove the bunch of first half strangers into an attacking force. If only we could have scored earlier, we could have even won that, Sunderland wilted away after we scored. Slutsky did my nuts in, what is wrong with the man, ants in his pants? Never stopped pacing up to and around his technical area, has anyone told him he can go in the box?
No, but I got the impression he didn't want to waste time and wanted to crack on and score another, rather than it being a former team thing.
We desperately need Manuzch back as soon as....Was the halftime change of Hector (thought he did ok today, better than Fulham) forced or purely tactical. I'm sorry, but I still can't have Larsson when you have Evandro available. Dicko, I've said before, massive question mark for me despite little service, Kingsley, lets not go there, Toral i'm not sure either, interestingly Slut says he can't accomodate Irvine and yet Toral played exactly where he plays, so Slut can't fancy him at all, Meyler plaudits due, Grosicki when I see him play I come away think of that Sound of Music song 'how do you solve a problem like Grosicki'. Lastly, as has been said elsewhere, which brainless idiot decided to pump balls into the 6 yard box from corners or free kicks?... Their keeper was about 6'13"... And the referee was a complete wanabee...
