dazza247 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Cue a spirited City comeback in the second-half after a severe ticking off from Johnson. 2 goals down though is a big ask....especially as we were looking to bounce back with a win. Saying that we scored 4 in one half against Doncaster so not impossible. Johnson's on a booking so I'm wondering whether we'll see Williams take his place in the centre or Noble?

Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 We've got Noble on the bench who hasn't had a kick this season so he isn't up to a game, and Williams who hasn't really showed any sort of form since coming here Shows that the depth of the squad isn't that deep. But there'll probably be some changes at half time anyway - I really wouldn't want to be a City player in that dressing room at half time... Well perhaps Johnson should start stripping paint off the walls before the players go out there because this "tactic" we have of having a look at the opposition in the first half is starting to get rumbled. I'd like to judge Williams in his natural central midfield position before criticising his lack of form. We clearly aren't bossing the midfield tonight judging by the fact we have had a couple of shots in half an hour at home so perhaps it is now time to have a look at other options. Given we have possibly thrown away the points tonight already, now would be as good a time as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 utterly shocking. Worst i've seen in 2 seasons. On the bright side we've picked up a bit last 10mins. U could but the frustration with a knife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grt injured is the only way the 21st century Matt Hewlett will get dropped .To play him and leaveout McIndoe is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Perhaps tonight will do us a favour. Because if missing just three players has such a negative effect on the performance of the team then it would seem that some serious squad strenthening will be required in the transfer window. From what I can gather we have pretty much been restricted to long range efforts with neither of the wingers getting crosses in from the byeline and neither central midfiled player either prepared or allowed to run beyond the front two and look for a goalscoring opportunity. And, yet again, Maynard and Adebola are left isolated up front to feed off scraps. It doesn't take a genius to work out the weak department in our team (or at least in the team selection tonight which only reinforces the point about lack of squad depth). And to be fair, some people have been saying it for quite a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 G.J`s "team" may not be the best available footballers at this club; but will be the one`s that havent picked up "knocks". I for one do not believe everything I`m told just what I`ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webzcas Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 We are laughingly poor tonight. Thank god for half time. Wish I had stayed at home as it is cold and I can't see the second half being any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Maynard substituted at half time and the midfield left as it is. Presuambly Akinde will come on and put away the bucket load of chances that our unchanged midfield department will undoubtedly create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Trundle now on for Skuse - Williams and Noble to sit on the bench and complete their watching brief for the evening. I think Weale may be warming up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCfan Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Very odd as Adebola was having a stinker so says the radio man. Trundle surely should have priority or Akinde....i assume we must be going 'LONG BALL' with two bigguns up front. Looking forward to my trip up to sheffield on the weekend, might get to see Stambolsiev at this rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza247 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 That's one goal scored with no midfield then ha ha!! Here begins the previously discussed spirited comeback! Not a bad debut! 'We always believe...we always believeeeeeeeee........but maybe didn't 5 minutes ago!!!' Clear penalty apparently...'blatant pull of the shirt on Adebola by Marcel Seip' but the ref didn't give it.

Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 One of the first occasions we attack out wide and sling a cross in the ball ends up in the back of the net. Someone have a word with our two wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this means Noble will be around the match day squad more, possibly with Trundle given a prolonged run as well(maybe give Maynard a rest now and again).

And the boy is more of a goalscoring threat in 9 minutes than the rest of our midfield put together in 9 matches. Get in there. I can't wait to see the boy feature at Sheffield on Saturday.

Lack of Action Man Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Weale will be our no.2 and challenging Basso all the way until he chooses to seek regular first team football elsewhere. It's nonsense to suggest he's blown it at City. One mistake followed by 3 superb saves suggests that he more than made up for his unfortunate error of judgement. Little doubt Weale will be City's next permanent number 1 providing his patience doesn't run out. left out Elliott, Carey and Mcindoe!! Crickey First point: justseen replays of the first goal thought at the time that it was just a good strike but on SSN it looked savable? Could be wrong though. Second Point: Carey gone is a shocker as is Elliot but not too worried about mcindoes absence hopefully he will get his head down now this game has passed without him in it and work hard to get in the team.

The Man In Black Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 How many times will we be a team of two halves? I don't know how many more times Maynard has to clearly ask for the ball to his feet. It appears that Johnson and the players have forgotten that we don't HAVE to play the long ball game and try to bypass the midfield. Trundle was amazing when he came on and Plymouth simply couldn't handle him. I was impressed by Akinde and his work rate, like Trundle he really played like he had something to prove. We were lucky for the draw tonight as Sturrock's attempts at slowing the game down very nearly worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
