That home truths meeting was well worthwhile then. Exactly the same all season

soft again, people’s been saying the same thing for how long now 

Near enough safe, Nows the time to start planning for next season, hopefully NP plays the players and formation that he wants here next season. 

Can’t see us beating anyone atm so not expecting much. Not sure about team selection either, hard one. Maybe;

14 points if Barnsley win tonight 

Simpson getting a lot of slack however players like Palmer, Wells are on 20+ grand a week and don’t play, the whole recruitment at this club past couple seasons has been awful. We’ve needed a solid right back for years yet still haven’t got one. Even when we had money to spend.
Just something doesn’t seem right down there still. How is our squad so inconsistent compared to other teams in the league.

Have to question our recruitment again. We need to get it right in the summer 

Accept mediocrity, been a shambles for years

Sorry this is a bit of a rant, but how on Earth are we expected to make any level of progress when our forwards are routinely expected to score three goals for us to win the game? 

We have Kalas and Klose, two CBs who have both secured promotion out of the Championship before playing in a defence which is more porous than a house on a flood plane during Storm Eunice.

We signed Danny Simpson for absolutely no reason whatsoever despite our financial difficulties and have chosen instead to rely on youth to fill the RB / RWB spot instead.

We are five points worse off after 35 games than last season and in my view the only reason the defence is getting relatively easy ride from the fans in terms of criticism is because the bottom 3 are probably the worst we have seen in the Championship in living memory, and two out of the bottom four have suffered points deductions. This time last year Rotherham were 22nd with 32 points, for example. 

You are welcome to tell me I am being overly negative and I appreciate our young players have improved a lot, and that our future looks brighter than it did 12 months ago. But is it too much to ask to watch our team keep a clean sheet for once in a while, especially given the level of experience within the CB position? Kalas cost £8m and Dasilva cost a packet too I think - it really shouldn’t be as bad as it is.

Anyway, rant over and enjoy your evening!

You’re right, theres a lot of positives atm, for example the better performances and youth coming through. However the goals conceded is a joke tbh, somethings got to change 

We are very bad away from home 

typical

Why do people leave out Martin? He was brilliant on Saturday.

Because it would be good to give him a rest so he’s fresh 

Not sure what to expect; 

                            Bentley 

               Kalas     Cundy    Klose

Dasilva      Scott        Massengo     Pring

                         Weimann

                 Semenyo    Wells?

team looks quite strong and I think Martin needs resting and Pearson has probably lost all interest in Vyner now

2-1 or 1-1 imo 

Kalas Klose Atkinson Pring could be alright but again I just don’t feel confident in keeping clean sheets. 
hopefully when williams is fully fit we go to a 433

We got to try and recruit as much as possible for the defence in the summer. We’re okay attacking wise if we keep all our players. Couple centre halves needed, full backs as well. Tbh we need a proper revamp. Look at what Huddersfield have done. Was shipping goals all last season now have a pretty solid defence via smart recruitment 

Went today…Vyner second half performance was an absolute embarrassment, should be no where near the team. Dread to think the amount of goals he’s cost us this season from silly mistakes or a lack of concentration

On a side note, what do people think he is genuinely worth as it stands currently? I’d be wanting at least £10 million for him if someone came calling in the summer..

10? 20 plus. He’s essential to how we attack at pace. He’s got everything you need to be a good striker just gotta provide consistency for a prolonged period of time now.

Unlucky with the penalty but he was very good. 

Please get him gone end of season. He epitomises everything that’s been bad about city past couple seasons.

Ian Gay thinks 44 points in safety. Not sure how he’s worked that out!

Tbh I might agree with him. The only team that look like getting points is Derby atm 

17 points from Relegation zone feels good. But that was very tough to watch last 15. Alex Scott is ridiculous for his age 

Semenyo will not be with us for much longer 

What’s happened to cam pring tonight

So much for Max'  distribution

Why can’t we just put the ball in the box
