Guest ashtonyate Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I really fear for City on Saturday without Elloitt .I think they will overrun our midfield we only have Noble as cover and if Johnson plays him we know things are desperate. Its no good playing Murray Or sproul as out and out midfielder they are not strong enough perhaps one of the defender will be drafted in but this was why I was upset that we never got anyone in the last window lets hope I am wrong but if they played like they did at the Gate we will be in trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Stand Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 On the subject of squad strength I think AY is totally correct...its clear for all to see You watch the Reading fullbacks tomorrow - they will overlap / get to cross from byeline / and come in to the area to attack balls in from the other side as well as make runs in field with the ball at their feet Ours will pass it to a midfielder like its a hot potato or whack it down the line for Mcindoe/sproule or whoever is out on the edge of the halrfway line - if ....and its a big IF.......one actualy does get the chance to cross it is more likely to go over everyones heads or not clear the first defender at all As for getting to the byeline.........forget it Reading are a very good team, probably the best team this year & better than any of the teams last year. Not just in full back areas, but all over the pitch they have better players than us. I don't think that this means we have a poor squad per se, just that Reading are significantly better than us, & most others at this level. Having said that they've given 4 points to Southampton this season so they're not unbeatable. I really think it depends on their "mood" tomorrow. They had no midweek game & will be fresher than us, if they're relly up for it I think they'll win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edson Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Did he now, well show me where he said that, i got the info from MSK Zilina . webside, why would they lie Here if you have World. In response to being asked if the fee was £700k, as being reported, what he said was, "People will make it up as they go along. We make it undisclosed for a number of reasons. You don't want other clubs knowing what you're spending or bringing in, and sometimes you might have got a very good deal and other times you might have got a poor deal. Of course. we had to pay a fee because he was still in contract at his club. He was desperate to come to England, so he helped to ge the move on when he knew that we were interested, but we certainly didn't pay anywhere near those figures. So all those that think we've been done by a Slovakian club - No, we think we've got a very good player that was being offered another contract at his club."

I agree, how he has let LT go on loan to miss penalties and sit on the bench at Leeds in L1 is beyond me, he hasnt sgined a MF when we are clearly lightweight and we can only beat the 'rubbish' teams who cover up how bad we really are....and AGAIN, we've started slowly at Reading......
