Tinman spot on there. Palmer drift wide and get on the ball. In possession he is not getting the ball

Depends if that loses us our shape or not.  Its only the final ball letting us down.

[cityexile]

Maybe a little against the run of play, but difficult to win when no efforts on target. Dull really more than anything, and giving them something to defend is not going to help the game at all.

[42nite]

Should have prevented the cross coming in anyway.

Just stand a few yards off him then duck out of the way why don't you.

 

Pathetic!

No, hence why I said a couple of mistakes all season.

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

God that was frustrating! We've got to be more careful with our final ball. We've had plenty of opportunities but have failed to work their keeper and gave conceded a soft goal.

Gifted Bournemouth a win

[Ivorguy]

Are we aiming for a double figure number of losses at home

 

Wake up City.  You are lucky you are playing in an empty stadium

Palmer not been in the game, Rotherham dealing easily with Fammy. Get them both off at HT, bring on Semenyo, move Wells central. Bring on Nagy for Palmer.

Similar to how I see it. Palmer half asleep today unfortunately. Shame because Walsh and Massengo look busy.

If and it's a big if we lose again this could be a record number of losses at home in a row that may never again be beaten in any of our lifetimes.

I believe the current 5 losses is already a record !

Eurgh, have a day off. Bents has been nothing short of class this season. 2 mistakes doesn't define somebody.

[Winston]

Bentley loves a mistake in home games. Just play Max in home games, and Bentley in away games... sorted

Just now, Denbury Red said:

The weakest link in the team today has been Wells. 
 

He’s done pretty much nothing. 
 

Take him off and bring on Semenyo or Bell

Utter, utter rubbish.

What game are you even watching?

Wells has been one of our most positive players in that half.

I absolutely despair sometimes.

If we're talking about Bentley mistakes, not the first time Sess has done that

[tin]

That’s abysmal goalkeeping from Bentley, especially if he’s called for that. These types of recent errors are precisely why Brentford got rid. Fortunately he’s won us more points than he’s lost this season and has credit in the bank.

Wells has won us 3 FKs in dangerous positions, wasted by Palmer, Wells himself and COD.

Name me a championship keeper who doesn’t have a mistake in him a few times a season

Indeed. They wouldn’t be Championship keepers otherwise. 

[cidered abroad]

Nigel Pearson has a massive problem at City.

Our squad has been brainwashed by Johnson and Holden into negative, scared of attacking, unable to put three passes together in opponents half and unable to hit the target more than one or two per game.

This has resulted in pathetic home performances because we cannot play as the away side at home, hitting sides who sit in, on the break. A tremendous effort is needed from everyone to win another home game this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exaggerated? No, fact.

[Slack Bladder]

I'm sure Bents wouldn't have thought about coming for that ball if Kallas was on the pitch

That is the sort of goal u see in a Downs League game............Absoutely a case of the goalkeeper not doing his job, quite honestly a phecking disgrace

Not that either of the CB’s werent within 10 yards of the striker from a floated cross?? Poor marking first up, that perhaps led to Bentley having to come out?!

[Unan]

And in slightly better news..

 

[M.D]

Under NP, we look better in the second half.

In fariness that isn't true. He went through a horrendous period last season where it seemed every game he was at fault for a goal. He is capable of being great but also goes through very poor patches. Certainly been our best player this season but only if he doesn't now go on a similar run to last.

[Roger Red Hat]

Bentley having a bit of a Bentley wobble?

New baby syndrome?

[Lrrr]

Would wager Bentley has won us more points this season than his 2 howlers will have cost us. In terms of expected goals against vs goals conceded he's only just in negative, however he's faced the 4th most shots in the league and a lot of his fantastic saves will have been against were from low xg shots as well so doesn't factor how good his saves were.

First of all it’s not fact, it’s opinion

Second of all, coaches change styles of play all the time. Pro players at this level can play more than one way. 

[Dunc]

Antoine on for Fam for me. Get Wells central and Antoine out wide right. Fam not getting enough change out of their CBs for me
