No good pointing fingers, they were all as bad as one another just as they can all be much, much better than that. Just how a manager gets a regular tune out of them, I don't know.
I didn't get where I am today without recognising ****e when I see it and believe me, that was ****e.
I thought those subs made early in the second half were the correct decision. We equalised and looked more than capable of going on to win it. Then the referee gave them a free kick that should never have been! Not only did it stop the momentum, sods law dictated that they were to score from it. I’m not feeling anywhere near as negative as most. Yes, we were appalling first half, but actually showed some boll*cks in the second. I think the mistake tonight was dropping Pelkas from the starting lineup. He has offered quick, high energy in the final third and Tufan was just too slow. He’s clearly a top player, but not fit enough to keep up with the pace if he starts.
as i've said before the other week oscar does not work in this current team with available players tufan starting boggles the mind too but apparently i was mean to him becasue he scored v rotherham longman and pelkas are two of the first on the teamsheet, would have saved us 60 mintues of nothing start them fleming was very poor, he looked good v blackburn going forward, but defensively, all over the place today dare i say it.. get greaves in there v cardiff jones and figs in the middle christie is fantastic going forward, but we are far too open defensively on the the wide areas we'll have an expensive wage bill in league 1 though aye?
Agreed Fleming was awful - we looked 100 percent better with Greaves out of position. Fleming and Lewis Potter worked well together, but maybe that flattered the former.
After 59 years of being a City fan I have seen worse times than this but tonight’s performance has left me feeling depressed.
Fleming has had no pre season and been back for about half an hour, it’s no surprise he was off the pace. For a lad who has only really played half a season of senior football.
If we'd had the luck they'd had with decisions and deflections then we'd have won. There wasn't a lot in it and we conceded the 3rd as we were trying to find an equaliser and left ourselves open as a result and more so as the game went on. Goals change games and I thought we were a bit unlucky tonight, but we have to stop shipping as easily as we do. That Smallwood role where when your fullbacks are forward, you lose the ball and he just dropped in between the 2 centre halves to make a 3 would make a lot of difference to this side. Seri, Woods, Tufan are all too similar the form a deep lying partnership IMHO. Doc has been excellent as has Slater but they're all energy and graft. They sometimes lack that little bit craft when it matters.
they are and he is, him scoring a free header doesn't suddenly make him a worldie, wouldn't want him here which is quite the worry they scored 3 goals against us at home they were the poorest opposition we've faced this season and they were below us for a reason but through totally inept defending, they've come, mugged us for 3 points and cruicially ****ed us
