cidered abroad Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 So many in my time, this one is down there amongst the sludge that is bad performances. Lucky we're nowhere near the bottom but that was a top class imitation of a relegation doomed club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 There have been more depressing games when we have got thrashed at home during a relegation battle, but had Brentford been less wasteful it could have been a heavy defeat. Today's game will hopefully recede from the memory because the scoreline was only 1-0, but it was a woeful performance from City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those other games we didn't have a chance of getting in to the top 6 with 6 games to go. It should have been at least 4 or 5. At least. Not a shot on target. Not a move to put together to fashion a chance. Shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticks in my mind too this one, but like a ******* muppet I went to the next game away at Bradford where we lost 5 nil - 11 GOALS in 2 games FFS.

HoldenBall Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 0-0 against Burton last year and the 1-0 win against Rotherham who were a contender to be one of the worst sides in 2nd tier history based on their points tally. We of course made them look like a half decent side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelksRed Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yes. Hands down.....the worst performance by the WHOLE team I've ever seen. I expect players to have bad days....but that many in one game......no. We lacked respect for Brentford (like so many other teams since we play the Manchester Clubs)....and again we've been punished. I wouldn't pay anyone for the performance that they gave today.....Mr Lansdown....take their wages and return some of it to the fans....#disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 @Sergio Georgini I'd agree, Rotherham last year was pretty appalling. Burton...they sort of proved themselves bottom 3rd material, with reasonable results v higher ranked displays than us so I don't see them quite the same IMO. @MelksRed I fully agree. There has been a definite air of overexpectation, turn up and get a result v certain sides since the games v the 2 Manchesters IMO. Especially the Man City games. Norwich at home- and this goes for fans as well as team- seemed terribly flat. Sunderland at home- we were 3 up but it felt too complacent from all I thought, almost too easy and I saw danger there, at halftime no less. How many of us thought Brentford today a highly likely win? Anyone seen our record vs them in recent years, plus the way they play, they would always be likely- even if we were on song- to pose us some major tactical and technical problems. Barnsley away- hell, Burton drew with Middlesbrough today and it took a LAST minute equaliser for Boro to get a draw up at Burton. It doesn't work like that- not for us. We have ability, but we have to fight- we really do. For this reason, odd though it may sound, the backs to the wall with 10 men 2-0 v QPR was one of my more memorable results in recent times. We had to fight- we had to dig in, and we managed the game brilliantly. Plus the crowd- really got into the game, because we know as a crowd the importance of getting right behind the side- 10 men, 0-0, an hour to go nearly vs a Championship side. We had no choice- we had to do it right and we really did. Management, players, fans- as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I've followed city since 89/90... Today was the worse I've ever seen us play as a team from the 1st minute to the 96th minute. Not one player played better than 5/10. Also fans were awful from minute 1-96. Truly shocking day at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I recall us getting murdered 4-1 against the Florists with Collymore tearing us a new one, early 90s. Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pretty embarrassing! I think the final score was 4-1 and when we scored the east end sang 4 nil and effed it up you had to laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 When we lost to Luton at Kenilworth Road when Tony Dinning was subbed off after 20 mins he was so bad. It looked like we only had 5 players on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Early 80's there was one match so awful the only thing I recall is the ref (Uncle Les Shapter) feigned injury and subbed himself off at half-time to avoid the second half. Couldn't recall the opposition and neither side would have scored in month of Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again an unbelievable team selection with Lita not even on the bench. However as a team we were worse against Brentford. We could hardly pass to one of our own players let alone fashion an attempt on goal. The stats are frankly unbelievable. If it had been Man City we were playing at home I could perhaps understand them, but Brentford? Capitulation is the best description for it!
