I agree with you, but there’s plenty on here who think differently.

For me he’s got no pace, can’t beat a man, his final ball is poor and his awareness for his defensive duties is lacking.

Not championship standard 

And thats his good points

Terrible game! Max and Roberts probably the best of the bunch. 

Thought Max was the only one to come through that with his head held high

If I was George Tanner I’d be thinking that was a very good one to miss & I’d expect to start the next game.

Cam Pring same thing..

Mark Sykes is available again.

A free week.

That’s it really.

I am positive we were shite

I’m with @Harry. On average during his time here, he’s probably at a 6.5/10. He’s shown glimpses that he has something, but not enough to bring forward the deal to sign him in Jan.

I’m not actually convinced Manning is totally sold on him despite the club completing the deal. 
 

As fans I think sometimes a players personality and club “buy-in” can give extra points, rather than it being solely based on the quality and consistency of their performances. 

Mehmeti did zero today which pretty much sums up his time at the club.  We will never progress with players of his calibre.

That's the worst we have played under Maning , every outfield player should be ashamed of how they played today no fight, most had just given up by 60 minutes, I was expecting us to play poorly but not that poorly, what a mess

More like 20 minutes

Not any more Tone.

Sounds like your view on cricket was based on your experiences in OZ - those days are long gone.

The match fixing & ball tampering was long after I returned to UK.

Maybe a tad later when the other team score their 95th minute goal.

95th minute is earlier than normal

If you understood the complexity of game Tone you’d really enjoy it.

Test cricket is the ultimate form of the game

Val, when I lived in Oz I followed the cricket big time and certainly understood all.  Every year they had the one day World Series (Kerry Packer if you recall) which was 3 nations playing (Oz & 2 others). They then changed the format to 4 teams (Oz A, Oz B & 2 others). Talk about trying to fix the outcome.  Then came the match fixing, ball tampering & cheating allegations in cricket in general which put me off forever. It is a complete load of bollox. It is now the ultimate in cheating and nothing more.

You’ll get to hear Tony Thorpe bang on about how he’d have taken chances city missed, and how he thinks he could still play at this level.  That’s his usual MO!

Careful Dave, you are putting me off !!!

It’s either going to actually be a continuation of the last two games and we could run riot, or we will revert to inconsistent type and draw 0-0/narrowly lose. 

I hope it is the former as for the first time in a while I intend to prise my wallet open and watch on Robins TV

We are screwed and it's my fault as I've put City to win on my accy.

I apologise unreservedly for my confidence and will lock myself in a darkened room after the game.

Why wait till then ?

Cricket = darn good sleep

It helps if they are, need the energy to dig this tunnel....

Can't you organise one from a Wholesalers ?

I'd ask for a transfer if somebody stopped me having a chippy on the way home from Macclesfield, but on the flip side there was a guy Infront of me in a Fulham blazer who ordered thirty meals once in a chippy and i wasn't best pleased

Was he that hungry ?

I apologise for the late submittal of this survey which is due to the late arrival of my breakfast this morning.

And I thought the Prison Authorities were very strict regarding meal times

I was just making the point that whilst Vince undoubtedly totally influences what is eaten at the club, the probability of persuading Cotts to be vegan seems somewhat unlikely.

Unless Cott's is already a vegan

2 minutes ago, GrahamC said:

You honestly reckon he’d have said to Cotts “one condition on you taking the job is you become vegan?”.

Seriously?

Unlikely

@italian dave 1960? You've lost me.

I know we got relegated and Del Shannon had a massive hit with Runaway after BBC Hit or Miss programme voted it a total failure. I left school and got my first job at £3, 3 shillngs and 8 pence but what else happened?

Jukebox Jury with David Jacobs wasn't it ?
