Conspiracy time, puerta hasn't started the last few, are we trying to delay his permanent clause?

If real life is like football managers then financially if it kicks in outside of the transfer window then the perm move isn't confirmed until next season meaning financially it'd be in next years' accounts, so there could well be mileage in that suggestion

Not so good that puerta shouldn't even be playing. As some said he should probably be starting over slater at this point.

I cannot see any reason why Slater would start over Puerta, doubly so after today. And I’m not a Slater basher either, he’s just miles off the quality we have in abundance in central midfield.

some thoughts in no particular order

1 - must be the worst pitch in the league - passes along the floor bobble and bounce - no wonder ball control looks poor and that's for both teams

2. ref today was poor - I'm all for letting play go on but a few pull backs should have had bookings which would have affected how some players acted afterwards

3 our fullbacks are woeful - too many mistakes, too many poor passes and poor crosses - we have three poor full back - we loaned Giles out and we drop interest in Taylor - hopefully we get someone in the next couple of days because Drameh. Coyle and Jacob, are gifts that keep on giving

4 we don't have a captain or at least a leader on the pitch - can't anyone step up to the plate because as soon as we concede there's nothing - in fact there's nothing most of the match

5 hopefully our new signings will see us stay up - some of our football was encouraging today - we look a lot more likely to score now

6 flat home support - been so long we've had anything to shout about I think most people have forgotten - compare away support which gets a few complements from the home fans

7. got my ticket for Burnley even though there's hardly anywhere that allows away fans in for a beer other than the cricket club and a club around the corner if you can't be identified as coming from the other side of the Pennines - I usually stick a sixth finger on each hand so I get in straight away

Not a major thing but in the second half late on Coyle got shoved by one of Stoke’s players after a challenge and Coyle just… meekly walked away. It was Slater who rushed over and shoved the Stoke player back whilst Coyle walked off with his tail between his legs.

Why is our captain so meek? I’ve met Lewie a couple of times as I lived on the same street as his late dad (RIP) for a bit and he’s a lovely guy but on the pitch he just seems to avoid confrontation or conflict completely. He’s tough in an endurance sense of the word as he gets hurt and seems to play through the pain but when it comes to confrontation he just goes into his shell. Sorry, but I want the captain to be a bit of a prick who will get in people’s faces, argue the toss with the ref about decisions, stick up for his teammates when there’s pushing and shoving going on etc. I just don’t think he has it in him. He’s too ‘nice’.

This seems to be the new thing to criticise about Coyle lately. We were a goal down in injury time and he wanted to crack on with the game rather than getting involved with some scrote. He's just got his head screwed on.

Typical city isnt it, to the point im not even surprised. Relying on our home games is a dangerous game, anyone remember the season we went down under Bruce?
I remember we all (even Bruce) worked out we needed X wins in X games, 5 games later we still needed X wins in less games. One of the home games was against Burnley, they were as good as down. By the time we played them they was gone....they thumped us and we followed them down.

one point i thought was strange, why did we swap a rb for a rb when we was 2-1 down

It highlighted how bad Drameh had played

It isn’t a new thing. He’s always been like this. Wilks once shoved him during a game as he wanted to take a penalty even though Magennis was the designated penalty-taker. Wilks got his way in the end because Coyle wasn’t assertive enough.
 
The core of our defence is still that which we came out of league 1 with, and none of those that we've signed since under Acun have worked, for one reason or another. "Lapses" have been a constant theme for years but they're heightened now we're in a relegation scrap

Rubbish. Coyle walked away to save being booked. He's the captain and that's what a captain should do, not get himself booked or sent off.

first team to concede only 9 in the first 30 games of a season. we got one of them. ten 0-0s so far. how exciting is that?

Ironically, Leeds are on course to beat the current record of just 30 conceded in 46 games as well, but they've still managed to score 24 more than Boredrawnley FC
