It doesn't seem like rocket science to me to have played Snodgrass (later Aluko) on the left, Diame at the head of a midfield diamond, and Clucas as a second striker?? Did we ever try that tonight?? Diame is much better as a mid than a striker, and Clucas has energy, enthusiasm, and a good goal scoring record. Did we try it? No.
 
'Boos from the City faithful at the end.' says Burnsy. I'd suggest boos from the not very faithful.
Having said the fan reaction sounds pathetic, it does look like both manager and several players have totally lost the plot. Too many players out of position and out of form.
When the performers get paid more in a week than those who paid to watch get in a year the least they should get is some effort by the players.

All Clucas did was pass backwards/sideways. He's practically absent in midfield and certainly isn't the answer to stick up front. How he remained on the pitch but Odubajo and Robertson got subbed I'll never know.

Don't we pay the most in the league to watch apparently the richest squad in the league to stuggle against a team that just sacked their manager afetr 6 defeats in 7. I'm annoyed. Deserve better

You won't even stretch to cheap flights & hotel never mind a match ticket. Why would you be annoyed about the price of a ticket you don'y buy?

If he was up top he'd be receiving the ball and not having to pass sideways/backwards. The fact so many of our players have been stripped of their attacking mentality by Bruce is damning.

Terrible from the fans not revving the players up after the goal. The dead silence won't have helped.

There's just a total lack of excitement around the club at the moment. It's been heading this way for a while with the club doing its best to wear the fans down and get rid of the most vocal ones. Fans seem to have lost belief in any promotion charge and understandably given the way the team is performing. If it was a full house with clappers etc as Chazz suggested it'd help but there's just absolutely no buzz around City at the moment.
