If Mountain is still in charge of set piece defending, he needs sacking come end of season.

He's not doing a fantastic job with the Keepers either................

[ProfitInMyPocket]

We've played alright, switching off twice and getting punished for it. 

[And Its Smith]

If Kalas punched a city fan half the people on here would ask why COD didn’t stop him!

[Gert Mare]

Our defending is woeful and embarrassing. Seen enough today. Losing to a club that was in League One last year.

[bexhill reds]

That’s a bit disappointing. Startedly reasonable brightly as well. Getting one back before half time would be useful. 

[Roadrunner]

Another bad day at the office.

We didn't deserve to be one down, but conceding a second goal so soon and so easily is unforgivable...

[Fordy62]

He might hit the crossbar but the cross is absolutely nowhere near anyone.

How many times have I heard that you're right but it doesn't make it any better.

Pretty much sums it up...

[Banjo Red]

I like Pearson but the defending is getting worse.

You can play like Brazil but if you can't defend aerial threat, anyone can score against you.

Only need about 7 points from 16 games!

That’s a big ask for this lot.

Really poor defensively yet again, plenty on here seem to see the problem as Zak Vyner, well it certainly can’t be today.

[cityexile]

A match in which bugger all seems to have actually happened and we are two down.

9 consecutive games conceding 2 plus goals. A record stretching back 60 years since we last did it. 

And we have had our worst ever run of not winning at home as well both under NP, don't know what to say about both, most managers would have lost their jobs but for the mitigating circumstances.

Don’t want Zak Vyner anywhere near this game, Madine and Yates would have a field day.

[Slippin cider]

They’re all over us with their weather ! ….12th man 

[Alessandro]

Well the first half reflecting the wet and windy weather for us there.

First 35 minutes or so we looked decent. Some excellent play from the back and a few good breaks at pace got us in good positions, but only ever really half chances. 
 

Chances - HNM having an excellent half pressed the Blackpool back line and did well before perhaps going down easily. COD doing the same (going down to easily) in a 1 on 1 race. Semenyo shot after super press bypassing move from the back, when Martin might have been a better option in the middle. 

We looked pretty well placed and in the game before a very poor 3 or 4 minutes of play. 

COD and Klose guilty of not getting rid and danger man Bowler sits up a cross where, again Dasilva beaten in the air at the far post by a header back across goal for a simple tap in and City are undone.

Suddenly looking shaken, Dasilva (who’d be doing well getting forward, if leaving space for Hamilton to run into once or twice) being pressed seems to get mixed up with Max and a corner is conceded from which its 2 nil, Kalas out jumped by Madine. 
 

Scott good again on the whole. Generally impressed with Klose despite the poor clearance. 
 

Undone by a poor 3 minutes of defending. Tough second half ahead

As opposed to how we’re dealing with them so far, then?

[Red_Alligator]

Garbage. Pathetic defending yet again. Pearson out! 

[westonred]

Too many off their game today Martin COD. Scott The young guns in midfield are being bullied We need Williams on to add some steel. Bring Wells on for Martin we cant play the long ball to him due to the high winds

We’ve got to be so easy to play against at times, get the ball in the box, create a bit of chaos and see what happens

[Banjo Red]

Might as well chuck some strikers on and go for it now.

[Gazred]

2 perfectly avoidable goals yet again. Ok, so not a great half from either side but we just keep producing crap defending that gets fully punished every time. Will we ever learn.
