Perhaps Martin has been giving them lessons!

I feel sorry for the chap who is tasked with creating the City highlights. 

Dead easy tonight, running onto the pitch, taking the knee, kick off, ref blowing the final whistle. 5 mins work tops. No highlights to find, cut and paste a Nige post game talk from a previous game under floodlights. Jobs a good ‘un

Right foot cross by Jay!

[Super]

That's better.

He is the slowest active footballer tbf

[AshtonRobin21]

We've all seen some bad performances over the years, but this really is as bad as it gets!

This is against a team who have been in the relegation zone for almost all of the season. 

We can't even string a pass together. 

An utterly embarrassing performance.

People are getting paid for that? I've been doing it for free feel like a right mug

 Commentator  talking about the ‘questionable’ COD conceded. Nothing questionable about it. 

[cidercity1987]

Unlucky there with the rebound from Dasilvas shot falling between 2 players ready for a tap in

But you said Blackburn were shit out of form. Which is it? 

To be fair, blackburn have been the only team in about the last 3 months to not score at least 2 against us.

Because not many teams in this league have a manager in charge who is no longer fit for purpose 

Lets be honest, probably half the teams outside the top 6 (and maybe the odd team in it) would have a fair chunk of fans saying that about their manage. It's partly why their life expectancy is about a year tops at most clubs!

Semenyo has to hit that quicker then. 

[miketh2nd]

as it has been for a lot of this season and the season before the midfield is non existent. 

[pillred]

Will be surprised if the bookies have not got us down as one of the relegation favourites for next season without a massive turnaround in either personnel or ability to actually play as a team.  

[Ivorguy]

Lack of leadership on the pitch.

A goalie should, imo, never be captain

Thought the same last season tbf.

[ralphindevon]

Not a bad spell there, should have scored

[dREDful]

So even before contracts expiring at the end of the season I make it we need:

RB

CBx2

Ball winning midfielder

Creative midfielder

Winger x2

Striker

 

And then replace whatever we lose. What a job that is.

It's personnel that has to change whether the Manager stays or not because over half of them literally don't have two consecutive decent 45's in them even. It's not coaching, they just don't have the concentration levels needed at the higher levels of the game.

The centre performsvery well. It's the people in it who are the problem.

Good job seasons aren't a bit longer or I fear you would have been right.

From memory Pearson has said he wants a RB, a striker, a DM, and ‘more dominant defenders’

So basically LJ needing three windows mk 2

[Denbury Red]

We seem so determined to pass pass pass when in recent years teams that have done really well in the championship have run and attacked with pace - Leeds, Norwich, Wolves etc

Why can’t we attack with pace??

Was that a major goal mouth scramble that he managed to get a toe on, or am I thinking about something different??
