A good first 20 mins from City, everything but a goal so far, very front foot football, which is great to see. Sykes carving them open down that right and side, just need a striker to gamble and get in the 6 yard box…
Bloody heck Max get your head in the game as you almost cost us a goal by lack of attention. Yet again our scoring ability, or lack thereof, could cost us again.
Tanner's lack of composure has cost us dearly with the opening goal for them. I have to confess I haven't had much confidence in him over several games and now we have to fight more than we needed.
F***king Tanner, again Remind me who signed this idiot…. They haven’t been in it, and we shoot ourselves in the foot, again!!
I was surprised to see him on the starting eleven tbh but not with Pring being on the bench. It may be unfair but we show our unique ability to shoot ourselves in the foot almost every game and today those kind of faults could send us home without a point. Two culprits showed their lack of attention and sound decision making and we will never get better with that kind of attitudes. Wake up guys.
The performance has been better today than in most games this season, it’s the individual defensive mistakes that continue to dog us that are the problem.
Apart from about 10 minutes where we dominated the game with some good plays it has now turned into a usual City performance peppered with bad passes, poor decision making and, at times, total incompetence. There is absolutely no life within this squad and almost every player is well below par especially Tanner and O'Leary between the sticks. Tanner tried to play silly beggars with his opponent and make him look like a fool and his lack of trickery kicked him in the backside and cost us a half-time lead. With nobody behind him to right his mistake he was left gasping for air to try and make amends and he failed in that task. When you can control the ball like Messi then go ahead and show your bag of tricks but at this level stick to the basics and you might get the results you so wrongly think you deserve. Nothing that has happened since the change has impressed me at all and it seems to me that so many of them out there have lost their mojo because the lack of anything to get excited about is rife and worrying.
Tanner is struggling and mad to play him in a 3. Early doors they kept hitting him with long diagonals, and he's got worse as the games gone on. Oh Max the wind isn't helping but not one long ball has gone anywhere near a striker......... and why bother anyway .........it's not Conway's game. Him and Bell are shadows of last season. Powder puff. They're more than happy to play on the break, we look so slow at the back.
Weimann has become invisible which is a shame as he can score but probably not today. Let's hope we can improve our decision making during the second 45 minutes and get something.
That's the response we needed right off the bat with Conway scoring after several great passes and we are level at 1-1.
It looks like we are playing with strong winds and rain behind us which could prove difficult for their keeper.
