Right just back from the gym time to think about that performance today.

Not one player can come of the pitch thinking they put a shift in.

Unbelievable against Preston we were on the front foot from start to finish vastly improved from the Birmingham game.

Then they serve up a lacklustre display today.

Question one does Nige and his team tell the players to keep passing sideways and backwards?
If he does then he has to question his set up simply it is not working.
The football is slow and has no cutting edge.

Question two if Nige and his team are not coaching this into the team then those players need withdrawing from the team.

For me their was no passion-no leaders -no commitment-no aggression from the team today.
They were just going through the motions.

Millwall are are poor side and looked at best average-they have not won away from Home since March they rock up and take three points from Ashton Gate.

If Nige is asking those players to play this way then questions have to be asked of his ability to take this club forward.Clearly it is not working.

The football pre the break was exciting to watch and producing results.

The football after the break has been dire.

No City fan would complain if the players give 100% in a game and lose-however in particular the Birmingham and Millwall games have been a absolute shambles.

The question we have to ask is
Nigel Pearson at fault?
The players at fault?

If it is the players then he needs to come down hard and drop those players.

If it is him and his team he needs to address it before the powers that be say enough is enough.

If the Manager does the team is not listening. A low possession team, which BCFC is does not pass the ball sideways and backwards a lot.

How many times do we see us in a good advance situation only to then sideways pass and eventually pass it back to the keeper, only for him to hoof it and hope? Of what I’ve watched, sh!t loads!!
Is that a tactic given by our coaches/manager?

Then the team does not keep playing sideways. A feature of Citys play is long balls - vertically forwards.

CONFUSION OVER INFO GIVEN TO THEM?

I'm not advocating sacking Nige, I am sick of all of the grunting and moaning, you are correct he did inherit a squad of over paid, over valued holiday makers and OOC players, severe financial restraint and dependencey on acadamey product

WELLS AND CONWAY HAD A GOOD UNDERSTANDING maybe should play them as a 3 [semenyo ] with Weiman behind then work out whats best for the other 6 !!!

1. With his background, why are we so dreadful at defending? especially set pieces?
Click to expand...
NP relies on coach's to do the menial tasks like coaching whilst he handles media and tries to put together what the coach's advise ... which at the moment is SH**E
 
If the coaches are drilling this style of play and I use the word If then they need firing.
IF Nige is calling the shots here he needs to address it.

IF the players are scared/not capable of going forward then they need dropping.

Nige needs to come out and tell the fans what he wants and explain why the indifference in performances.

I’m not particularly fond of changing managers for the sake of and I really want NP to succeed with us. But I’m really confused by;
1. With his background, why are we so dreadful at defending? especially set pieces?
2. What’s happened to our closing down playing high tempo on the front foot? Is that to do with Semenyo starting or to where he plays? To me he plays too deep, wandering, looking himself to create chances, which isn’t working.
3. Why are our set plays so awful, either over hit, under hit or sending it to close for the keeper to gather.
4. Why, when we start a game, we usually look good and in control, but one attack by the opposition, we fall apart?
Either NP isn’t addressing those issues because he doesn’t know how to or the players are blatantly ignoring him.
He’s said in a previous interview, that he doesn’t get involved in the training, so imo he either changes that stance or he replaces the coaches he has. It’s not working..

SAF didn’t get involved in training either. Difference was he built a great team of coaches.

It’s difficult though without throwing players under the bus, so to speak, he obviously makes his point behind closed doors, which is better. A good indication of players he’s unhappy with is who he drops. The defence is difficult at present though, because we’ve barely got enough players, so he’s unable to make changes. It’s partly why I’m so patient with him defensively.

The International break really checked our stride. What I can’t fathom is, last season we scored a lot of goals in the back half of the season with AS and AW combining well as the front 2, and this season the goals have come form a NW and TC combination. So, wtf is Nige not putting either of these pairs up top the last few games:headbang:, it beggars belief.
The big, in fact huge worry is, we can’t defend set pieces, and look shell shocked and can’ never seem to react to balls dropping in our box, this is on Nige and his coaching team to fix. We are not really being carved open by teams, so I think they are setup quite well. There have been a lot of individual errors, Naismith, Atkinson, Klose, Vyner, and yesterday Max, so that is not on the coaches, but the rest is. I think NP needs to review/refresh the coaching team in the World Cup break.
