My worry is if "superman" Coyle gets injured for any length of time, That would leave us with Christie (who has never looked fit this season)
Christie has been shocking but on second viewing I do believe Lokilo should have been putting a foot in, instead he made a gesture towards him as if that would put him off. Morton was much angrier at Lokilo than Christie.
Rightly so. The plan was clearly that Christie would cover the line and Lokilo cover the cut inside. Lokilo didn’t do the latter, making Christie look useless in a very unfair way, in my view.
It's a strange one(This Sharp business).
None of us can be sure of his fitness levels,his pace,his agility,what he's here for primarily? He's what,37 now?
I've no doubt that he and Delap could ruffle some feathers playing together but Delap would be asked to do more of the spadework and Connolly at 23 years of age would be confined to the subs bench...Morale wise,that would be the end of him.
Has he been brought in to play the odd 15-20 minute cameo role or are we seriously contemplating playing him from the start of games?
I guess we'll find out in a week or so but it's a strange and curious move for me...
Lokilo could and should have done more to prevent the goal.
It was how Coyle (who did well 1v1 for the most part too) managed him all game. Delap knocked Clarke off the ball a number of times. Lokilo who should be chomping at the bit simply didn’t do enough.
Various talk on here about cox....the lad has played 6 games for volendam who are 2nd bottom of the Dutch league. Not sure he'd have made a difference.
Christie will be gone in 6 months once his contract runs out his legs have gone he should not wear the shirt again.
Seri doesn’t want to get injured before he flies out he was awful against Sunderland.
4 defeats in 6 games is poor form.

Our tactics yesterday were different we played more long balls maybe due to Ingram being in goal, what is the point of playing a small player down the middle and Delap out wide why not swap them over to suit the style of play we were playing.
So we have 6 shots on target and Sunderland have 3 but it's delusional to say if we had put one of
our chances away it would have been a different game ?
Rosenior should definitely take the blame for his team selection but he doesn't
tell the players to miss chances does he

Same as Twine. Always cuts inside or goes backwards
That was driving me up the wall in that second half, Lokilo is certainly a one trick pony. His only move is countered easily and consistently making him a completely useless right winger.
Clarke's been doing that all season....Getting the ball, wide left usually, cutting in and having a go across the keeper....No surprise when he scored. Why Spuds let him go when he never go a chance is beyond me...Terrific player...Not sure who let him cut inside. If Coyle was still on he might have checked his run. If it was Christie, then he just let him go.
4 defeats in 6 is poor. How we are still in and around the top 6 is crazy and a clear indication that anyone can beat anyone else in this league and go on a run....Bristol and Cov look dark horses to break into the top 6 and take 5th and 6th. With Sunderland close by.

I have to say I’m so grateful that I experienced watching football in the 60s, 70s and 80s when it was affordable and I could stand on a terrace. It was mostly exciting and attacking was encouraged. It was still a contact sport not a diving competition. Had I gone to my first game watching this boring play-out-from-the-back style I probably wouldn’t have fallen in love with City. I guess that makes me a dinosaur.
I'm sure during the 80s the battle of the 'Giants' at half time was more entertaining...
