[Lack of Action Man]

So for anyone at the ground, who looks more like a prem team?

 

Can we win this?

Joe Bryan is good going forward but dodgy in defence it seems

He's not a left back IMO and I find it odd that some people, the manager included apparently, think it's his best position. 

[MyBrotherErnie]

O'Dowda clearly playing on his weaker foot, keeps stopping moves before they really start. Moore doing well, Little looking out of place and weak on the ball. Engvall and Reid doing well, but we're missing O'Neil and Tomlin. We look decent going forward, but weak when they break. 

[Lew-T]

Well, I was expecting a loss by a decent margin after seeing the team earlier so I'm not surprised we're behind at half time.

Look on the bright side, you could have gone to Paulton.

 

At least they can call it off!

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

OH well that's it then!  Poor marking again,  

[TNBT]

Ffs 2 goals from set pieces sort it out. 

[Bristol Rob]

2-0 down in case anyone was wondering.

Re: Bryan

It's a tricky one though as with a bit of training he could maybe be a fantastic left back. He's got everything needed for the position , especially the leap to make up for lack of height. Just needs the positional side trained in (not suggesting that's easy by any means).

currently agree better as a left midfielder/winger though, but not sure he has the raw pace or trickery to really excel in that position.

wow what a ramble that is ha, basically I reckon he could train on to be a real prem quality left back, as good as anyone, but not sure he would ever set prem alight as a winger .

LJ making a remark about the ticket sales. How can you expect the fans to take this competition seriously when you set a team like that?

[hertsexile]

Wale up time once again. Always make things difficult. But still not mission impossible.

Chance to pack the gate next round with a big club and we have sent out such a weak team....really pissed off

[Redandy]

I agree we needed to rest Tammy and some others but 9 changes is hard to even try and understand.

[Wanderingred]

Really really dissapointing.

[cityexile]

Well, that escalated quickly!

 

[Reigate Red]

Oh well time to throw caution to the wind I suppose - let's go for it.

[RobArnold10]

Am I the only one who's been a bit concerned about our set piece defending this season? Some games we have been really shaky, QPR being a recent one. It's strange considering that we are normally so strong in this area!

[BobBobSuperBob]

Dear oh dear - schoolboy defending AGAIN from a corner 

free header AGAIN as Dawson lost his marker ( Possibly Joe again  )

shocking - going out with a whimper atm

[CotswoldRed]

Like watching City from last year. 

[Fordy62]

That's it then. I'm going to retire to drinking coffee with Tia Maria in it, while listening to a very talented pianist and reading 'I, Partridge' - which incidentally is a very good book for Partridge fans. 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Didn't think we would win with that team, but to let to school boy goals in is shocking.

[MelksRed]

Following thread from Berlin with my head in my hands.. .........I'd love this to be the night that we turn all around and stun 'Ull and create a shocker.....hopefully not a pipe dream......is LJ making Subs?

[hertsexile]

Could be time for LJ gun hoo option in s few minutes 

[Lew-T]

LJ has dropped a real clanger here.

Time for the 1-1-8 formation?

Agreed. I don't think you learn much throwing that many newbies together. Surely better to see how 1 or 2 integrate into an established setup. 

[Craven arms]

That's the price you pay for putting out a weak team, come on Hull score a couple more to really emphasise that fact.

[CotswoldRed]
