  1. My concern is that we don't have enough quality up front to consistently take the chances we create. Plus the soft goals are creeping back in again after we seemed to have cut them out. So, to summarise, I am not as optimistic as you. All comes down to inconsistency due to the level of players in the squad imo.
  2. But according to JL what we needed to 'kick on' was a coach who worked on the grass to organise our Top 6 squad, not a manager. Apparently Tins can do the rest. Deluded unfortunately.
  3. If Sykes wasn't injured or knackered (he didn't look it) then taking him off was bizarre. Playing him on the left, equally so.
  4. One of those teams I just expect to beat us and I'm rarely disappointed.
  5. Totally clueless going forward and soft goals conceded. Nothing changes does it.
  6. Can we clone Knight and play two of him instead of Matty James please. Not sure I've noticed MJ touch the ball yet
  7. I always thought the ceiling of the Dolman still looked like it needed a lick of paint after the re-fit was finished
  8. It's more about taking their chances for me. Maybe they lack support but we've still got in plenty of great positions and failed to make them count. No coincidence that strikers are our weakness as good ones cost and City can't or won't spend what is required to get in the quality.
  9. We've been like this for years and years. Incapable of playing well for a whole game. If we have one good half you can bet the next one will be crap.
  10. Wonder if LM has asked the U21s to adopt a change in playing style to match the first team? May affect the results for a while as they get to grips with a change if so.
  11. Perhaps you can balance this against the £25m we got for Scott who has also hardly played this season due to injuries. We were unlucky with RM but lucky not to have kept Alex, only to have him out most of the season - so far.
  12. Two weeks - am I being wooshed here? We were talking about giving Nige longer after 2.5 years to get things going but LM gets two weeks to make an impression. Hmm. Not expecting much to change yet.
  13. Fair enough. He was a defender though and has a defender's mindset imo.
  14. This is where having a dull, plodding CB as your manager tends to be a slight tactical disadvantage.
  15. Zero penetration. Grealish does my head in. Pass back or run infield and fall over, looking for a FK.
  16. It would've helped if he could stay onside for the few occasions we did pass to him yesterday.
  17. Liam gives the impression in interviews of being a bit of an introvert. Somewhat similar to JL, which might be why he saw him as a good fit. This could just be an impression though, maybe I'm wrong. I'm not that confident that this type of personality will inspire the squad to give their best if I'm honest.
  18. No doubt the fact Manning knows L1 players is part of why we wanted him. We'll be shopping in the lower leagues, picking up players he has seen are top-end at that level. Problem is they aren't gonna be top-end at this level. So I don't see much likelihood of anything other than rinse and repeat the same old failed strategy.
  19. Maybe he is better in training. Need to give Manning a few games to catch up with what we've already seen - he's a waste of a shirt.
  20. Steve seems to get more positives from the rugby fans. Maybe he prefers to hang out with them rather than the City crowd. Can't say I'd blame him if so, he's only human and we all like to be appreciated.
  21. It may get toxic on here but I suspect the crowd at AG will be more patient than that.
