Looks as if Pack has pulled his hamstring. Not sure what the commentator was watching.
Great goal from Puscas (spelling).

Dreadful defending. Vaulks so slow for the first. Done like a kipper. Flint could have marked better for the second. Difficult to see us getting back into this and could well concede more.
Silly old twat behind me blames Smithies for both goals. Absolutely clueless.

Lose to Wigan.
Scrape a win v Luton
Getting bossed by a team with no points
3 teams City should be able to deal with comfortably but have been made to look 2nd rate.
The team set up is awful. No pace. One man on his own up top. Nothing in midfield. Bacuna and Vaulks are poor. 2 soft goals which every other team would stop at source.
Heck knows what it’ll be like when City play against a better team. Much more of this and we’ll be looking for a new manager.
Warnock’s excuse will be an injury to Pack, a virus and it’s a long way to travel.

Didnt see that result coming even after seeing the teams announced.
A good start from us, but it was the same at Wigan.
Reading saw the wings as the place to do damage. Bennett and Bacuna were awful today. Ralls was the best in midfield after Pack left the field, but that isn't saying much.
Paterson & ML were well off the pace and Hoilletmay as well have not been on the pitch. Flint & Morrison don't seem to be communicating well enough and their dual lack of pace will cost us.
Gratzel and Vassell did their best given the poor supply.
I'm so glad the midfield was sorted during the close season...
Frustrated in Bangkok.

What was NML doing? Not once did he try to take on his man.
Murphy should start if fit every time
Why didn’t NW get a right back in the summer? Bacuna and then Nelson were dreadful.

How to totally mess up a transfer window. Ken Manga Reid gone and Gunner as well.
Arter and Camarasa gone as well.
Warnock had screwed up big time with his signings.
While the league table means nothing now I cant imagine another Championship side putting in as dysmal a display.
Badly need Sol back as we look all over a side that could do a double relegation.

I know its early doors but I think its time to get a younger manager with modern ideas ,colin got us to a good position but time to climb on his old tractor and enjoy retirement
I wouldnt put it past him turning it arround, but we need to ensure a forward thinking manager for next season when he leaves, possibly earlier.....
LBH City will not threaten promotion this season. The style and personnel may have worked 2 seasons ago and opponents know what they’ve got to do to beat us.
This mentality of a (supposed) strong defence and effectively bypassing midfield to rely on the fast powerful wingers is old hat and needs to be binned.
Take skilful players like Camarassa and Arter and Reid out of this team and replace with Vaulks and Bacuna and Paterson then it’s going to be hoofball which is easy to defend against.
Survive this season and then bring in a more dynamic and youthful management team. Middle aged is youthful compared to the OAP’s in charge.
Don’t take survival for granted though.
