Question is, was it handball or ball to hand- mind you they keep shifting the rules on when to penalise or otherwise! I don’t think it could be construed as handball,but **** me what a recovery.

Palmer plays some exquisite passes, but he loses the ball a lot and isn't much help to the defence. Obviously, we didn't factor for Nagy being injured for so long, but I wonder whether there's a young player able to step up to give HNM some respite? Does anyone who watches the U23s know? The coaching staff all watch the u23s and they’ve all fully qualified to assess their potential. If there were any then we’d have seen them included in the matchday squad.

I'd rather have O'Dowda in the middle to give Massengo a rest, personally. Unless we go with wing backs again, that I could see working with the available players.

Dunno if I'd have O'Dowda in a 2- in a 3 maybe. If in a 3, that extra body alone could help to reduce the load on Massengo in particular. Seen suggestions for O'Dowda at LB on here. Possible, but I'd worry about the defensive side and an unnatural position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Bakinson has to be close to the squad surely, and if we need to freshen up a little there's Watkins and Adelakun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee certainly looked behind him whilst he was following the Charlton attack, but he allowed play to continue as the player appeared to be rising to his feet - I may be cynical, but I suspect the Charlton player would have been rolling around in agony, screaming for the match to be stopped had they not been attacking.'

Numero Uno Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 47 minutes ago, Robbored said: With Nagy and Smith both injured the midfield cupboard is bare RR. What choice does LJ have with only Palmer, Massengo and Brownhill as viable midfield options? Some posters argue that Massengo should be ‘rested’ but how is that going to happen with so few available midfield options? Maybe that’s why LJ started with two wingers last night................. Rowe can play midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I was both thrilled & pleased when that late winner went in. However for too much of the game too many City players passed either to where a team mate had been rather than where he was now or, even worse passed to an opponent. On a more positive note; as 90 minutes approached, the players seemed to be settling for the draw. Then when 6 extra minutes were announced, heads literally came back up and they realised en masse "we can win this". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelukan and Bakinson are not up to it at this level. I say this having seen both several times in the 23's. Watkins is barely a first team squad member, not due to lack of effort, but to me he doesn't look much of a footballer, never stands out for the 23's.

Yes, yes and yes. There was a shout for handball from the crowd. It highlights how silly the handball rule has now become that no-one seems to know whether it might have been or not. If it had been in the Prem, with VAR etc, would that have been considered a handball in the immediate build up to a goal? Even though it was 100 yards away?

Bazooka Joe Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Really rate Massengo, but he was a bit ponderous and gave up the ball too easily. Normal service to be resumed as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 On 24/10/2019 at 11:34, Red-Robbo said: To be honest, Johnson's amazing tactical success had more to do with Charlton being happy to try to sit on a one goal lead, than our shape on the pitch. After he made the double sub, we were still being overrun, as with Massengo looking tired and DM never being Brownhill's strong suite, we effectively had no midfield. The ball went from their final third to our final third as easy as pie. It's only after they scored and took their collective feet off the gas, so to speak, that we started getting forward. And I'm glad to say, the sending-off actually fired us up even more. I wish it hadn't happened, but clearly the players felt aggrieved and reacted by going all out. Sendings off can demoralise the whole team. Last night's didn't. I think they tired too....their diamond stopped working hard and the fluid rotation of it stopped too. They started to go longer from the back, meaning even more ground to cover. We are a fit team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
