Every time elmo had the ball sprayed wide to him he had a Sunday league first touch and lost it. Robbo for elmo. Akpom for clucas 4-4-2 with a diamond in midfield. Lacks witdth but two fast full backs who like to bomb on. He has to do something because we are creating **** all. Instead he will leave it until 65 minutes and swap a midfielder for another one. Then swap Abel for akpom.
Good start but Wednesday started pressing us more & that caused us to start making mistakes! Abel is no good on his own up front, if we stick with this in the second half, then we need to get Maloney, Clucas closer, actually the whole midfield closer!
The first mistake was APIs poor header from. Dawson. It didn't clear the box, that's an either or whether you push out. If Davies stays and he holds the line as a CB then it's a right **** up
Bit over dramatic, We've not been too bad just not direct enough, need someone closer to Hernandez. We will score
Bruce was gobbing off at Elmo well before the goal went in so hopefully he will make the right call and hook him off at half time but like Kev Francis says, probably not
It is. I don't often get to watch city these days now I live in aus. Maybe I've been spoilt over the past few years. It's just hard to see such a talented set of players labour around the pitch trying to unlock an average championship defence. I'm 12 days into a two week stint at work and staying up to watch this will give me a grand total of 4 hours sleep tonight. I hope the second half makes it worth it!
City seem to have a decent amount of possession but play at a slow tempo so never really stretch the opposition. Always looks like we have to rely on a set piece or a mistake to threaten. Hopefully get some shots off in the second half.
I think he'll give him 10 minutes, but we need to come out flying like in the first half, but actually make the most of it!
Elmo seems like he doesn't want to be at city much longer. if this goes tit's up, SB will blame the international break.
Spot on. We didn't look like world beaters against Forest so why leave it the same against Wednesday? All because we scraped a one goal win. It's clearly ****ing obvious that Abel needs another forward alongside him, poor ****er's chasing lost causes, but Roo will no doubt appear to tell us all that he's not a strikers arsehole!
Looks like another episode of The Walking Dead. Hernandez needs somebody with him. Aluko would be ideal. What the hell has happened to Elmo???? He might as well be off. Not going anywhere with this game so lets hope they can switch into top gear in the second half.
Elmo's been mr consistency for three years has a bit of a mare and the knives are out. Way to support lads
I want to see Dave on the right, where he belongs. Elmo's having a mare. Elmo off for Robertson, Robertson to left back, Dave on the right.
Yes you can. Kevin Francis is spot on, either get out quick or hold the post (where it went in!). Davies is a different fault and doesn't excuse piss-poor RB play from a player who is not a ****ing RB. These players cry out for 3-5-2; this 4-3-2-1 with round pegs in square holes is a nonsense.
