This result in our first home game of the season would have been fine; after all takes time to gel a new side. On the other hand all the new boys would have been match fit I have real doubts we can overcome the shambles of the summer and the intransigence of SC to Christmas until next season in league 1 same old, same old . City are a third tier side sadly. Agree entirely that this should have all happened over the summer. It did not and we are were we are. Will take the new players time to settle in, and it is going to be very tight. 4pts against Bro, Leeds and Bham is the top end of what I could see. Scoring is a problem, and in this game, a pretty big one. Lets see where we are after the next handful of games. not over yet, by a long way.

robin_unreliant Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Six points against Charlton and MKD and we will be feeling confident. Four points - not bad. Less than that and I fear for our chances of getting out of this hole. Oh for a striker who can finish. Quote Link to comment

wallaceboy Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 We need some goals from somewhere.it's obviously very tight at the bottom but unless someone starts banging em in.we're doomed.we somehow need to pick up the same amount of points in 17games as we have in 29.not impossible but looking bleak.

Yes, I hope that O'Donnell stays in goal, I think the defence is more confident with him behind them. Quote Link to comment

Ignoring the WBA game, that is just one goal against in three games, but only one for too, so it's clear more options up front could make all the difference. Tomlin sound like he's going to make us more lively going forwards, and we certainly have options in that attacking third when it comes to midfielders, but we are crying out for another option to both compliment/swap out for Kodjia; bringing on Wilbraham or Agard doesn't feel like a progressive change, unfortunately.

BRISTOL86 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 1 goal conceded in 3 league games under Pembo. A drastic change from where we were. Have we done that all season under Cotts all season? Great to see us no longer leaking goals for fun. Lack of goals is a concern, a striker is needed before the window is out. Quote Link to comment
Shtanley Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 How many chances did Kodjia actually have though? He scored the one I can remember even though it was offside. I don't think Smith would necessarily Crete as many chances either. What's the point in having all these creative players if your striker can't go in behind. We should've won today blame the ref he missed 2 absolute stonewalls. Quote Link to comment

Just lacking that cutting edge up front. Tomlin will be hugely important, Freeman absolutely ineffective in the second half and Christ knows what Wes was doing. Quote Link to comment

It's about options; big fan of Kodjia, and think it sounds like he's been a threat all day today, but we need someone to be able to come on or start on his place who can push him, as don't think Agard or Wilbraham offer the same sort of danger to oppositon defences. Having options in attacking midfield and defence is a positive; just need it up top too. Quote Link to comment

Guest Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Kodjia needs someone alongside him. He's really very ineffective in this 4-2-3-1 and looks very isolated indeed. Freeman was a different player second half. He got the ball stuck in his feet early on and that was it - all confidence shot and he didn't trust himself. Wes had some poor crosses and some bad touches, but that is what can happen being dropped into a game with the weight of hope and expectation. Totally understandable, but even still you can guarantee they didn't like playing against him. O Donnell showed he is a shot stopper too. Sign him up fast before someone else notices just how solid he is. Big fan of what I've seen so far. Agard and Wilbs both had very strong chances at the end (and better than Kodj had at any point in the game). Ref was absolutely shocking. Quote Link to comment

Not a particularly good result either, the defensive strength is great but we desperately need a striker or two and maybe another midfielder. Quote Link to comment
