Please can we take Chris Martin and Naki Wells off and never include them in the Ist team again. On the positive side Bakinson moving the ball well in midfield unfortunately to a non existant front line

Agree.. I was surprised he played at WBA and he has played poorly against them and Barnsley so I am assuming he was either bought back before being fit or is rusty and needs more time in training to be truly match fit

I came to the game with the view that the only thing that mattered on Saturday was beating Barnsley however we did it. 3 of the last 4 performances have been shockingly bad and I am hoping this has been due to low confidence levels which hopefully the win will have helped. Barnsley who are supposedly the second worse team in the League completely outplayed us in the second half and most of the first half. Although the atmosphere at the end of the game was great it could have been very different if City hadn’t scored before half time

Couldn’t agree more. Has had more than enough chances, often costing the team a goal and only occasionally contributing towards a goal. His handball at Rotherham Utd last year was the final straw for me

Glad to say like most people that both the performances and results have been better than expected Unfortunately I still think we struggle this season because unless we catch teams on the break we don’t have any threat going forward and will struggle to score against most teams. In terms of us using this year as a year for building a team for the future I am struggling to see the plan. Jury out on a lot of the players at present. Most have showed potential in short bursts but not been able to put in consistently high performances over a sustained period. We still have too many players in our squad who are either not good enough eg Kasey Palmer or have seen better years and are declining in effectiveness. Eg Chris Martin. On the positive side HNM has the potential to play at the highest level. If NP can turn this squad into a premiership team within 3 years he will have done a remarkable job. I think of our current squad of around 25 that you would say 4 or 5 are good enough, at least 5 shouldn’t be in the squad and the rest are unproven but with potential to get better with a couple of years experience.
