southvillekiddy Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Not the young lads but those two today. Not good enough, not quick enough and incompetent. Not good enough to step up a League The young lads really did their best but despite all the hype LJ has not recruited enough decent players.He does not have the pulling power to attract better players.We do not have the coaching staff to improve the mediocre players who come to us. SL has chosen the wrong bloke again. If some of the senior quality players are at odds with LJ how has this happened? Why is LJ incapable of choosing his best team . Why can he not instill in the team the will to defend a 2 goal lead and win today's game. SL has had partial success with only 2 out of his 8 appointments. He's been too defensive/possessive to choose someone who can take us all the way And so it goes on and on and on ............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Not sure what more fielding could have done today. I still prefer ROD, in spite of a few mistakes: which all gk make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alandicks Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Frankie frustrates with the speed and accuracy of his distribution, not sure he could do anything about the goals. Thought Flint was outstanding. Won everything in the air and led by example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Flint doesn't understand basic marking. Set pieces, he's great. Counter attack with our team out of formation? All over the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Flint was outstanding. Fielding could've saved all 3 should've save at least 1. That said, their goals were team problems not just any one person. First goal McShane was allowed to dribble 20 yards into our half before picking out the first pass to set up the goal. Where was the pressing? We pressed for about 65-70 minutes. As soon as we stopped they found their rhythm. I can't even remember the order of their second but one of them someone made about a 30 yard run from near the half way line to our box unmarked. That wasn't a defenders fault. It was just awful the last 20 minutes. So much effort for 70 minutes which I was proud of but they switched off and were punished by a good side.

Xiled Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I think Fielding was to blame for the third goal at least. He doesn't dive quickly and his reach doesn't compensate. He falls over in slow motion. Love the guy's character but he has never inspired confidence. Flint didn't do much wrong for me. Won nearly all his headers. He is far from being the weak link in the team. Matthews went off at some point in the second half but somehow was still on the pitch at 95 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for fickleness, I love City, always will but it's been a regular experience over approx. 50 years or so to feel let down once again. For a change we have a good start to a season, seem to have some footballers in the side for a change but it unravels when we get to Championship level, so there is obviously something seriously wrong about our Club. I think we deserve more than being League 1 giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep nobody was pressing the ball, at times the two banks of four were so close together it was like playng with 8 defenders and still they ball watched as we tried to defend a two goal lead by camping in our own penalty area for almost an entire half. I dunno im getting pretty tired of watching this shit, it comes to something when you still are not confident of getting anything two goals up, im still ******* angry, on days like this i hate football.

He should win as many as he does, being the vast majority. He will lose some, as will anyone because no-one at this level has ever been perfect for 90minutes. Christ remember 5ft naff all Matt Hill winning some because of his leap and aggressiveness?! Substandard at this level? Ludicrous. He's absolutely standard, if not better than. If he's available for a transfer there's no doubt he will not be begging a league one side to snap him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is is ridiculous to say he is not quick on his feet. He isn't It's ridiculous because of many things. Consider the flight of a cross. If it's whipped in low height is no advantage for one. Sometimes being a bit nippy and average height will give you the advantage. Carsten Janker didn't win every header; neither will Aden Flint. Both win their fair share.
