That makes two of us. COYR

I thought this was a topic about KFC. COYR

Was on Saint & Greavsie wasn’t it? Saturday lunchtime I think. Junior Bent was City’s entrant. COYR

I’m up for it.... Fammy, Weimann, try an old technique called front & far when attacking a cross, it’s amazing how it works. Also, try to make sure you can see the player on the ball, with a clear line of sight, it’s called creating an angle. Particularly you Andi, the player on the ball doesn’t want to see your back. Also, Fammy, try to be proactive, rather than reactive. Work on that & tomorrow we will work on hitting the inside of the side netting with some finishing drills. COYR

So a normal day on OTIB! COYR

One of LJ’s favourite quotes referencing Pato isn’t it? He’s right as well. COYR

Said it quite a few times now, seems very underrated on here. Very good centre half imo. COYR

I know patience is a virtue, but it really is taking the p**s! COYR

Believe what you see with your own eyes would by my suggestion. COYR

Should still pull his socks up though. COYR

It is ridiculous, it happened earlier in the season against Middlesbrough I think. Think it was Moore stretching to head it, as he wasn’t sure if the striker was on or not. Needs changing ASAP. COYR

I’m currently in the remain camp, I’ve harped on about consistency for years & im not going to change my mind on that at this moment in time. In saying that, I still question some of his decisions, be it formation, players selected, substitutions or comments he sometimes makes. But I think as fans, you always have to be mindful that there are things going on behind the scenes that most fans are not privy to. Whether it be in professional life or family life, this can then become a consideration when picking a team. Anyway Pros- Year on year progression with final league position Players see us as a good club to progress their career with ( he is a big part of that ) He has a real affinity with the club ( it would have to be a really good opportunity for him to leave) He has room to develop & grow ( which he undoubtedly will ) Whether you like it or not, he is innovative He buys into the club project, which means the club is singing from the same hymn sheet, leading to more consistency Cons He is Lee Johnson & for some, the knives were going to be out at the first opportunity He is very confident in his own ability, it can come across arrogant ( aren’t all the top managers? ) I think he can over think about the opposition, rather than think about our strengths His interviews could be construed as ill advised at times ( mentioning playing Palmer & Elliasson together is like being 2-0 down to start with). But what we don’t know is the players characters he is mentioning, would they respond to this positively or negatively? So my thoughts at this moment in time are most definitely to see how the season pans out. No one can deny that we have had massive problems with injuries to key players, none more so than losing Afobe, I believe we would be right in the mix had he stayed fit ( I know everyone gets injuries, but that many? To key players? ). Those players coming back have had a game or 2 to get back into it ( is it a coincidence the bad form is at the same time? ). We are 2 points outside the Play Offs & a positive January window could really put the wind in our sails. COYR

I would rest him for the cup game without a shadow of doubt. It will be good for him & good for Maenpaa. But I would bring him back in for the next league game. As for today, thought he could of done better on the second goal, should of caught it, or palmed it away ( to the side ) & definitely should of pushed the ball away from goal , not back to the centre for the 4th goal. But still number one for me at this point. COYR

Has the red card been confirmed? Looked to me like LJ was congratulating him ( handshake & hand on shoulder), then the Brentford guy said something, LJ went to walk away & matey grabbed his arm. To which LJ didn’t take too kindly to. Something happen after? Surely not a red for that? COYR

I’d be happy with the 6 yard box! COYR
