Sometimes football isn't just about silky skills, it's about making the right, simple decisions at the right time. 

We didn't seem to know what to do with the ball. Endless mistakes, dispossession and frustration. 

Arrggggh. 

I wonder if some of these players have ever considered shooting. 

Cornick. Turning into a proper Diony signing. 

80% of the time I swear our players have no idea what they intend to do with the ball. So disjointed.

Substitutions have killed the game for us - just as we were starting to boss it.

0-2...

Still time for a draw - or 0-3.

 

Understand what you are saying. 

However, our "bossing it" will hardly have been noticed by their keeper. 

Powder puff defending.

We have to move the ball faster forward. Final pass not there yet. Messi nothing to work with, hope he gets more involved in the second half. Think Well coming on in second. COYR 

Messi

It's no wonder we never score from outside the box. 

I wish our players would occasionally drop the shoulder to make a yard and have a punt. Instead, we have another 6 passes and lose posession. 

Yep, stupid rule. 

It serves no meaningful purpose at all.

you haven’t watched many city games don’t think it was that drab . 

I've watched a few over the last 40 years. 

Drab performance, so I'd take a point...

Hes clearly going to go in the summer, but, a big but, it could literally be the best thing for the club to help clear debts but set us up for some decent investment ( not the type of Mark Ashton investment) needed to progress the squad. 
£30m+ please!

Ah, Mark Ashton. 

What a truly terrible man to have happened to this club.

Cunningham is a total ****** *** !

Football is a pantomime at the best of times. In fairness to Cunningham, the FA etc actively encourage cheating, or whatever else you want to call it. 

There's no other sport like it. 

Make amends Max - keep a clean sheet from here and move on.

Well, we're currently closer to the playoffs than the relegation zone, and I read on here every day that we're in a relegation battle.

The number of teams in between is important too. 

Wow, 29 years. Was still at Uni in Loughborough at the time. Seems an age ago.

15k+ attendance ?

Just ordered my tickets. Amazed how many tickets are still left throughout the ground. In our wheelchair section, nipper and I will be on our tod at present. 

Maybe most will leave it late to book.

Was it actually offside ?

Yep

Offside. Shame. 

Need to cross the ball in a bit more against a defence that sits back. 

Whilst I'd never criticise an individual's efforts to create an atmosphere, calling them 'Ultras' is rather ironic to say the least.

We will never get a pen

We're cut well adrift when it comes to teams in European football and frequency of penalties.

Our so called “ supporters” are pathetic. Just read this thread . No wonder we have never been to the Prem. It is embarrassing. 

Which teams reached the Prem, or otherwise, based on their forum content?

This has got to be the most unlucky city side I’ve ever known. 

Unlucky? 

I'm more bothered by the apathetic attempts to recover possession and failure to perform the basics.

This is where SL has got us in two decades.

Its very easy to spend money, it's not so easy spending it creatively and wisely.
