Charlie BCFC Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 We cannot start next Saturday like we did today. We play Middlesbrough who are currently 7th so they will be up for it and they wouldn’t let a two goal lead slip like Hull did today. I’m sorry for speaking so negativily about an incredible comeback but I’m just saying we can’t start next week’s game as badly as we did today. Fantastic result today. Bring on Boro!

Robbored Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 City were under par against PNE and again today for around 70mins.but somehow Flint's scrappy goal triggered a complete change in City's play, weakened Hull's resolve and produced two more goals to win the game. It was if City finally refound their mojo after 160mins and now it's back in place Im not in the slightest bit concerned about Boro. Winning when not playing well is very positive.

redfieldred Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hopefully we'll have Taylor or djuric up top rather than Woodrow. It's hard to put into words just how poor he was today - and Reid first half. It wasn't that hull were defensively strong or dealing with them well because as as soon as Durjic came on and did some basic hold up and flick on headers they looked very shakey. So it was poor attacking performances, that led to several dangerous counter attacks. If you can't hold up play the touch has to be good. Woodrow tackled back ok otherwise he was a liability.

Would definitely start Djuric on sat....but needs accurate passes to him and runners close to him....passing on Tuesday into him was a bit wayward. What a win mind!

What a win mind! LJ has said that he has to be 'careful' with how much game time he gives Djuric in view of his recent groin injury. It's not uncommon for the type of injury he had can lead to the same injury happening on the other side of the groin. It sounds to me as if Djuric won't be 100% fit for quite a while yet but good for and hour most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Imo, out 'form' is purely down to injuries and some players carrying knocks and some fighting fitness. Midfield looks tired, Reid looks tired. Now Odowda injured. Bryan hopefully coming back but will be feeling his way back. Woodrow doesn't look the part at the moment.

Garland-sweden Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yes, December is going to be long. Djuric not quite fit. Hope Bryan is back, Odowda probably sidelined for a while. Paterson hopefully is fit soon, maybe Eliasson take Odowdas place. Taylor will score soon I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Really interested in what others can see in Taylor. Lots of running around, I presume. I can only assume the circus around taking him from the horse punchers has clouded their judgment. 2 league goals in 23 appearances, none in the last nine months.. No pace, poor in the air, a desperate first touch and a ropey old finisher. Woodrow may not be the answer, but Taylor sure as hell isn't. The fact that he hasn't featured in the last few makes me think LJ feels the same. If we can get to January still in the top six we need to move these 2 on and get Bobby, Famara and Milan some better support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect Milan will go under the knife again at some point. 9 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Really interested in what others can see in Taylor. Lots of running around, I presume.

Taylor has played well in two cup games this season, i’ll give him that. I’m disappointed that Woodrow doesn’t seem to be working out, I think he has a lot to offer.

What is a huge credit to the club is even with all the injuries that necessitate formation and team changes we are still hanging in there and getting results . No one's feeling sorry for themselves or using the situation as an excuse . I'm very impressed. ( worried about December though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works hard, may not get the goals but has got quite a few assists and I think his first touch is very good. Taylor for me is still in our plans but Woodrow I agree with you.

He , like all footballers, need time to adjust to his team mates play and get up to match speed. Perhaps it won't work out for him here but I give you " Matt Smith is Awful " and " Time to admit our 5 million pound forward is misfiring " as cautionary tales .

Im sure Bryan for example 'could' have played yesterday but it was very sensible to give him a week off. Djuric cannot be a starter at this time because if he cannot last 90 then he is much more effective off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 We've been incredibly unlucky with injuries and IMO the fact that we're still very much in the playoff mix is testament to the spirit of the group.

DaveInSA Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 It was comical defending. All round, by us and by Hull. I'm sure I'm not alone in this but I feel we're a midfielder short. The spirit in this camp is amazing, they really work for each other. The squad is going to be tested even more now with more injuries. Time for those on the fringe to step up.

Yesterday definitely showed how much we need a experienced quality holding midfielder who is comfortable on the ball and is creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday fans admitted they were relieved when he was subsituted. The "desperate first touch" arguement is bullshit.

We missed joey a lot. I don't like to be overly critical of players but i'm yet to see woodrow keep the ball for us. If we can ride out the injuries keeping ourselves in contention then we could be in for a very, very good season. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
