enough ....is ENOUGH.... IS E N O U G H ............. "We have to work through this period. It feels like Groundhog Day. "In the first 20 minutes some of the football we played was fantastic, then we give away a really, really poor goal. Bad positioning from our back four has meant we conceded without Preston needing to produce any real quality. "After that players who were performing at eights and nines dipped to fives and sixes. Then we managed to get ourselves back into the game, but still couldn't see it out. "Enough is enough and tweaks need to be made. We need a couple of signings in the January transfer window to help the group. "It's never easy in January, but I know what I want. There is a lot right and a little bit wrong at the moment, but the latter is driving me insane." This short paragraph is testimony to the fact he does not have a clue what to say or what to do you can dissect every line but I wont ..just a couple:- There is a lot right and a little bit wrong at the moment, NOTHING RIGHT because everything is wrong...... Bad positioning from our back four has meant we conceded without Preston needing to produce any real quality BLAME THE DEFENCE and knock the opposition for doing what they have positioning and quality "Enough is enough and tweaks need to be made. We need a couple of signings .. WE certainly do ... FIRST ON THE LIST must be a first team MANAGER or coach, don't get rid of LEE, REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN GET US OUT OF THE SH*** Second on the list must be...well if we play 1 striker not one of those .... etc etc etc JP proved last season that what we had was good enough and LEE CONTINUED WITH THE FORMAT and we were out the mire .. this season it is ALL HIS and it does not work, in honesty we do have a better quality squad in the same division JUST need someone with savvy to lead us .................................. the end Its only my opinion after 52 years or more of following City but when I look back, before all the subbing and modern day twists a team almost picked itself .... they played week in and week out with the occasional changes and it was team play, no matter how poor your squad was if you played as a team you had a chance... line up was 2 -3 -5 ! .................... 2 wingers, inside left, inside right and centre forward ....left half right half and centre half ... left back and right back, played with 1 leather ball after 10 mins was half its weight again by 30 mins almost double? Head that and you knew you had strong neck muscles.... centre forwards rarely? ventured back into own penalty boxes....and likely neither did one or both of the wingers .. one game on tele the other day had everyone in one half and the goalie outside his box! We need to p-lay more like this ..not hit and miss or guess who today more defenders score than forwards sometimes!
current form 11 games won 2 drawn 1 lost 8 GF 9 - GA 15 = -6 Rotherham won 1 drawn 1 lost 9 .......-13 goals
We are only where we are in the table due to the rubbish below us and the fact that they all lost yesterday bar Wolves. For me, LJ has until the end of January at the very latest to prove he can turn this around.
We are in a serious position, and it is OK for some to say give it time ..do we have time? this was supposed to be a season where we finished in top half/ 8 even top 6! looking at all the games played to date and taking just 4 where we might have done better yes just 4 and we would have been 4th in the table looking at a couple of our 8 wins WIGAN had just come up and were unsettled as were we! with new players .. we just a bit more than them BURTON similar to above and destined to struggle VILLA FIRST 12 GAMES W1 L1 D 2 then lost to us and drew 6 and lost 2! FULHAM were in a bad patch in 12 games us in the middle won 2 drew 6 and lost 4 Blackburn Florest lowly strugglers IPSWICH caught them in a bad patch SO on the face of it WE ARE REALLY NOT THAT GOOD we have yet to beat a team of any consequence .. had we failed against Leeds and Ipswich WE COULD WELL BE 19TH -21ST
We don't have as much time as some want to give. Should we make a change we have to do it in time for some serious thought to be given to the transfer window and we need someone who understand how to get around the rules - Sam anyone? Just kidding.
