You literally called Tufan a vanity signing a fortnight ago.

Shota has taken a small club to Europe, he's clearly half decent.

We aren't going to start creating until we've got some creative players in the side.
That was in response to Regan Slater’s dad saying he’d play regardless of form…

Sometimes creative players produce something special in single moments but generally good teams will create chances as a team and we should have enough about us to do that just now. The idea that signing a no10 will solve this problem is way off imo.

But we need the players in so we can get a settled formation. The balance is off.

Clearly getting Sinik, Longman and a no.10 in will help creativity
 
I'm pretty certain Mr Chairman doesn't want his investment playing like a bag of shyte, with no plan or direction.
It's always a huge gamble employing/working with,or for,personal friends.It's very early days to judge Arveladze and we need to give it time.I believe our new owner will give him a decent chance to blend the team but ultimately there'll be a bit of pressure starting to build on both their shoulders if performances don't start to improve?

I draw very little conclusion from tonight's Mickey mouse cup game.We did very little of note and we now move on to the real business on Saturday,I'll judge Shota on our League performances and hopefully the players can go out on Saturday and lift the current negativity with a win.

UTT.
 
because I don't think he knows himself. He's out of his depth & now realising what a really tough league The Championship is. I've said it from day one he is not the man to get City into The Premier League & then keep us there. He may be a decent bloke but he's not a Championship manger & never will be. Doesn't matter how many players Acun gives him the outcome will be the same.
How can you say he is out of his depth? He improved our position last season to mean we survived with plenty of room to spare. We are now in the Top 6 after two games with a makeshift team because of injuries. There is undoubtedly a lot of work to do but we seem to have lost the feel good factor very quickly for no reason.
 
We looked a fair bit better when switching to a back four, but the full backs seemed to not heed the change and were still bombing forward.

I think Fleming can't come back soon enough.
That is absolute ****
The least of our problems was Elder

mdfield three ****
Slater ****
Wilks ****
Covil fuxking ****
We should sign that **** in their centre midfield controlled it
 
We are. Baffling knowing we were planning on playing this and recruited for 4-3-3

It's proper weird. if the plan is to play a back 5, then we should've gone out and got wing backs. But then we're also light at the back with only 4 CBs so i do wonder if the plan is to go back to a 433 as soon as we have wingers available.

I mean it's all well and good saying play a back 4 but who would the wingers be? Wilks just looks gone, Williams ain't great, Longman and Sinik are out, Tetteh can't manage a full game. So we've basically got Allahyar

It was utterly dreadful and annoying to lose to Bradford. But the positives:


We’re out of the cup
We lost to a league 2 remember

Our weaknesses are explicit, solutions can be found - and we haven’t dropped any league points.

Acun will chow at Shota

So, backlash starts on Saturday

The number of good runs that go unnoticed by our midfield/wing backs is criminal. Tufan showed real class deeper tonight i thought so if we are persisting with it, 3-4-3 has to be the way forward surely
 
Highlight was the Bradford mascot messing around in front of the goal before kick off to chants of "chicken you're a ****" from the City faithful. The rest of the dross has been covered at length above
