Got forward a few times because that's what you have to do when you have a slow, solo front man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he was a midfield player, it was obvious that his role was to play as the most advanced midfield player to support Wilbraham and get into goal scoring positions. As he has virtually a zero goal scoring record, this must have been the stupidest decision since Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer decided to attack the native North America Indians at the battle of the Little Bighorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However less than a month ago people were crying out for Korey to be at RB because Little and Matthews weren't up to it, as soon as he plays (part of) a game at RB it is just another stick to beat LJ with. Another item to add to the ever growing list of hypocrisy on OTIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityCiderEd Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Agree the seasons not over with ten games left but we would need to show title winning form unlike the relegation form we are currently displaying.Although I hope and pray we can avoid the drop it is going to take a massive turnaround in performances for it to happen.

It's as if some on here want us to go down Not one City fan wants us to go down. What we want though is a manager who is able to set us up tactically the right way, use some of the 19 players he has signed... effectively, and then to win the odd football match. I don't think we're asking too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sorry you are tired, full of cliches and s**t. I think we will be relegated but nothing is certain so I retain a tiny bit of hope. Fans talk and some want us to go down and start again , sack LJ and send Landsdown packing, some have dared to say it on this forum . Sad isn't it .

Lrrr Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Korey appeared to be playing in an advanced position but it was generally when the Norwich defenders had the ball, he was the midfielder who would push up and press the defenders so Wilbs didn't have to do it alone, when we had the ball he was generally deeper.

redapple Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Also exposed Korey's lack of speed which doesn't get exposed so much when he's playing centrally ( where he should be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
