chinapig Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 5 minutes ago, Seneca the Younger said: In my opinion, that should've been offside. However, apparently it was said post game Assombalonga was classed as not being involved in the play. Another joke decision against us. That was not what was said at all. Assombalonga was not offside because Law 11 says: A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage.

No passing at all, just smith or hunt smashing it up field to the wigan defence. Worst half since the Shrewsbury game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westonred Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 This really is painful to watch luckily were only playing Wigan anyone else we would be 3 or 4 down. We look gutless, clueless, tactic less, and formation less. They are obviously not playing for the manager its plain to see. I still think we can sneak a win here but that will just keep LJ in a job for a little longer.

cityloyal473 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Can someone explain what our 'coaching team' is teaching them all week? Two explanations: (1) they coach them to be shit. (2) the players have no respect for the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look like a side in a relegation battle. Positive is Wigan having nothing up front, and we are still in the game, and look like we can grab one of our away day smash and grab goals. A win is still there to go for. Wigan do not look remotely like scoring Said this weeks ago; we look like a relegation haunted team. There is no spark there whatsoever.

Jerseybean Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 First half in my nutshell. Opening half has been all Wigan, passing/moving freely and controlling the game at will. When we, very rarely, had the ball we immediately gave it away with a poor pass/touch or a hopeful long ball which was easily dealt with. Even when we had a free kick we gave it away (Hunt hitting it at a Wigan player.) No pressing from us, no possession/options or decent passing/tackling from us. We look like a side woefully devoid of any confidence/ideas/creativity or threat, consistently producing sloppy play all over the pitch. The Robins TV commentator at least made me smile with his ‘Not sure why there’s so much rubbish on the pitch, looks like someone’s emptied a dustbin on it’ thought at first he was referring to us! On 27 minutes we were almost undone by a long ball from Wigan.Then on half an hour a great strike, out of nowhere, by Fammy, which is disallowed for (I think) a foul in the build up. Shortly after Fammy had a decent heading opportunity, following a good ball in from NE, which he put over. So suddenly we were - for two minutes at least - offered a few encouraging signs, although Wigan soon regained control of the game. No City player has performed anywhere near their potential and it is clear that Lowe has the beating of Hunt and Baker looks vulnerable. Anybody watching would assume that City are the team threatened with relegation, being second best in all areas. Wigan have easily been the better team. The only positive being it’s still 0-0. Although there will inevitably be lots of negativity on here this is exactly when supporters need to support and get behind the team and exactly when a manager earns his corn. It’s a game of two halves, can we really be as poor in the second half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins doesn’t make any effort to play the ball, just stands infront of the defender. In fact, he actually moves away from the defender before it’s headed.
