Semenyo dreadful in the week and doesn’t need his confidence denting anymore. What does that say about our recruitment. Only had Afobe and Fammy as out and out strikers start of season and let Taylor go. Maybe we should of signed more than 1 striker instead of relying on an untried youngster as back up.

RumRed Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Can we get slo mo camera to help with our team defend corners? Watching on the red button the first goal was an obvious one waiting to happen. Where the hell was everyone and why was Bentley behind both a defender and attacker and being blocked by them?

North London Red Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 A minor gripe, but why does the intro to Seven Nation Army have to be on a repeat loop for so long before kick off? It seemed to go on for an eternity today before the teams finally came out of the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have no idea in the final third at all and 90% of our passed are backwards. Still, at least we scraped some goals and 4 points. Perhaps City have spent too much time watching England in the Rugby World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment was fine - we've had a lot of bad luck...it happens. When you are going to be playing 1 up top you generally don't need a raft of strikers in your squad.

And we always seem to do really badly in them. A friend who was listening on RB said it sounded like it was being played at an empty stadium. I don't think I'll bother next time. Especially if it's an early kick off. It always seems to be awful. Our record since start of last season playing on a Sunday at the gate. Blackburn 4-1 Win Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Loss Millwall 1-1 Draw Wolves (cup) 1-0 Loss Leeds 3-1 Loss Wigan 2-2 Draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 @Red-Robbo @Carey 6 Is it such a good excuse for lack of atmosphere. Is every other club flat on a Sunday game? Unsure! It's a part of the modern game, it won't be going away. Don't much like it myself either however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, need to learn that in this game, you have to kick the ball under the crossbar too. And you don't get awarded a penalty every 5-minutes either.

I don't know about every club, but certainly watching early games on both Saturday and Sunday on TV, the atmospheres generally seem quieter. There are exceptions, mainly for derby games.

miketh2nd Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I think today shows how much we rely on Massengo for his box to box attacking and link up play with Brownhill aswell as his creative balls forward. Which in some ways justifys LJ to rest him as we cannot afford to get him injured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that it is a drag, it is not ideal- but I'm just unsure, think it can be a bit of a fallback. One where it should have been a lot better IMO was Wolves in the Cup last season. 15 unbeaten was it, 9 on the spin- had momentum in all competitions and in front of TV Cameras, Cup tie- vs the side who were likely to, and indeed did finish, as the best of the rest in the PL. Good tie, and us unbeaten in nearly 3 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a Sunday game is always worse atmosphere wise because people don't tend to drink at all/as much, especially if it's an early kick off. The Sunday games we have are avoidable a lot of the time though, they change them out of choice & use the excuse of extra rest/recovery but this was never a problem before the previous two seasons.

He’s there top scorer with 5 rest have only 1, so he is there only threat and twice we leave him. Do we actually talk about these things in training? Why bring on Eliasson at ht when we have no player up front to hit with crosses. They had 2 tall cb and we decide to lump it in box. Last 30 mins we had no strikers on the pitch but 7 midfielders what tactic is that. Weimann isn’t a striker?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Less/no drinking time clearly plays a part. Agreed- though how many of these in recent times have been due to clashes with that lot up the road? Think it's a combination of factors- rest and recovery, Bristol Rugby groundsheet and the other side. Always seems to have been, at least lately, us who have made way though!

Yeah I think it has been the last two times, I think yesterdays game was actually their turn to change but we chose to change due to playing Wednesday. It's not just the fans who fail to get going either though, the general tempo of our play seems a lot slower & the players just don't seem up for it. Not sure if it's because the change in their routines where it's usually a day off/recovery. I just hate Sunday games with a passion, slightly regretting buying Cardiff tickets after that!

Hopefully the derby factor will spark things a bit- on and off the pitch. Should do, plus the number of ex City who play for them is an extra incentive I hope. The fact that if we setup right we have a decent chance of the win too- at worst, a fairly dominant draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wigan might have had some input too. If we`d played Saturday they would have had three games in six days so I doubt they would have objected too much to the change.

You've searched for a comment I made about Rowe at left back, when I am talking about him as a centre midfielder. He is physically strong regardless anyway. 'Barely does a thing going forward' sounds like more of an insult to a midfielder than a second choice left-back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
