5-0 followed by a 3-0 doesn't look good does it 

And Manchester City to come

Bring on man city....

Not bothered about losing this one but I'm disappointed that it would seem that none of our fringe players have shown they can push for a regular start.

In the footy focus summary Woodrow was just described as ineffective.

All of our players are capable of making a pass like that once....Taylor doesn’t do enough decent stuff to justify a regular place.  At £300k he was a reasonable man to have around the squad, but he lacks quality, and has only hit the heights required on the very odd occasion.

As you say, at £300k a useful squad member, but today is hardly a day for pulling our players to pieces.  

[Devereux]

My take on Taylor is that although I agree he has not set the world alight, he is an instinctive touch type player. I think he would have shown better for us if given a run of 4/5 starts. Unfortunately for him we have been playing so well he has only had opportunities from the bench. This bit part appearance doesn't suit him.

I am not sure he will ever get that run of starts though with Bobby's form and Fam etc about to come back.

Not if you're a neutral and just see the scores but as supporters, we know the reasons behind those results.

Not a bad run really

3 is probably 1 over par which is a shame but oh well

And there what is?

Were you AT the United game?  Did  you not spot him doing anything else?  Did you really not notice his contribution to that win?  Give the bloke a break, he’s hardly had a run in the team...

It’s  so easy to be negative, isn’t it?

I don’t rate him, but in overall performances (rather than rating him on one pass), the only one I thought he was very good was Stoke (was my MOTM).  He was decent enough v Palace, but no better than everyone else that night.  Otherwise he runs around a lot, but produces little.

why not accept you like him, some of us don’t.  

[cidercity1987]

Taylor is better with better players. Never going to stand out in a poor team.

[wendyredredrobin]

Wasn't expecting a lot from this match, but hoped that our youngaters could at least give them a game.

Taylor, Woodrow and Eliasson all sound like they are not up to it.

Hope we play with a false number 9 against Manchester A team.

Oh dear; that leaves just Yeovil as localish interest in the FA Cup. 

Elsewhere I see Villa & Brum are both home with 3.00pm kick off today. If their police can allow it, why can't Bristol's when the fixtures have City and gas home on the same day?

[bristolcitysweden]

A good game from young Opi Edwards!

So why isn’t he standing out in our team, a good team?

Win our next 2 league games and we are guaranteed 2nd place. Lovely position to be in.

[Dan Robin]

Losing is never nice, but in this case it's ok, given the circumstances.

Our team today is not a good team.

F ** k me! 

Are the BBC paying Millen for THAT ... ?

 

 

[ZiderEyed]

Opi sounds like he played well. Fair play lad 

[cityexile]

Well, result just about as respectable as we had any right to, given the respective line ups.

Will be interested to hear reports later as to how the younsters played.

Yeah, but he really got involved and put himself about crunching into their defenders like a man possessed. 

Possessed by what? He definitely runs about a bit, but I’d wish he was possessed by a smidgen of goal scoring ability. There’s no doubt that he tries, but to keep your place in the team as a goal scorer, you’ve actually got to score goals

FT 3-0...
