Agree with everything that’s been said so far. What amazes me is that Emmanuel along with Honeyman were the top performers a few weeks ago and suddenly he drops the former. Emmanuels link up play with Wilks allowed the right back to push on and act as an additional winger - today Coyle got into the final third and then played the ball sideways or backwards thwarting the momentum of the attack. It’s also clear that Burke has a mistake in him whereas with Greaves and Jones we seemed a lot more secure. If Wilks has personal issues why continue to play him- he’s been frustrating for a while now. Scott is a lightweight whilst Slater is not as good as Batty. Long doesn’t instil confidence and would rather have Ingram in goal. And I’ve been posting this since October - we haven’t got a natural goal scorer - oh for Clarke- Harris. Watching Lincoln last night proved what an experienced manager can achieve with a talented squad at this level eg. Grant, Morris, Johnso and Morris
He's a yes man. Any self-respecting football manager would've played KLP during the contract negotiations and should've told Ehab to **** off and not meddle in team selection and tactics, and if he didn't like it, hand in his resignation. Barmby and Bruce realised managing the club just wasn't worth working for those arseholes anymore but McCann knows his job is safe so long as he does what Ehab tells him.
I thought Slater redeemed himself a bit today, wouldn't be unhappy seeing him start on Tuesday if Smallwood's still out. Also, he must reinstate Ingram, Emmanuel at rb and Wilks on the right if he's up for it. That's how we were winning games earlier in the season.
The other promo challengers are steaming forwards while we look like a team that has suddenly found itself near the top by default. We can’t be as piss poor as this surely?
I have usually started to calm down by now and realise it’s not that important But not tonight after listening to that interview.He really is a spineless tosser, be a man stand up And be counted .The only reason to mention WILKS personal problems was to deflect attention from himself If not why raise the issue in public ?.I employ 14 lads in our company and would never dream of throwing anyone’s personal issues out into the open ,totally wrong to mention it keep it in house .
Apart from all that, did you enjoy the match BAAG, (she says taking cover.) Trying to find any positives; at least we were not there, getting cold & wet, instead comfort of home, sofa, bottle of wine (medicinal to numb the pain.) And Brucey got a win today. McCann has gone down further in my estimation, I know, even I didn’t think possible. He obviously thinks the **** show was not bad enough to try and change it up using his subs. And, to deflect attention & deficiencies from himself onto to Wilks, now that’s a low blow. Man up, for God’s sake. Sorry, I know the rule, no religion. Anyone supporting City over a long time, really shouldn’t be surprised by the result/performance, it's the City way we roll. I hope this season isn’t turning out to be a carbon copy of last season, it all went tits up from last Jan, but at least now we have a Manager who knows the league inside and out. I think that’s any chance of auto promotion gone for a burton.
I doubt t Yeah, he got a nice percentage of transfer fees, we got shafted from the top down. As for today, ****e.
