2015 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Bentley - Outstanding and still conceded 3. Hunt - Dreadful. Lost the ball on at least 7 occasions. Vyner - Best of a bad bunch at the back, positioning not great today. Moore - I mean I said it in September, this lad is a League 1 defender. His worst performance today by far, and should have seen Red. Rowe - Not good enough as well, no real ability bar hard work and against better sides like Reading, will get found out, and he did. Dasilva - His worst performance in a while for City. Really poor for the 2nd goal, surprised he couldnt have the pace to get back. Poor. Nagy - Felt sorry for him if i'm honest. No one in midfield next to him who wants to have the ball and keep it and break play up. Was dismayed he was subbed. Paterson - Shocking. Nothing else to be said today and for the last 4 games. O'Dowda - Too busy running into opposition players. Semenyo - His worst display for us this season, but at least he tried to make things happen. Diedhiou - Don't think he won one single header or aerial challenge in the game, it was the Fam of very old today absolutely useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't play that well, but they were simply better and some of our players just couldn't cope with their attack and got roasted today. We kept it at 0-0 at half time which was good, but once we tried to take them on and opened up, they cruised to the win. Don't forget Puscas as backup, Swift had PL offers in the summer. Think thy have quite a lot of talented individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Look at Brunt for the 3rd goal. Just jogging back when Moore and Vyner are 2v2. If he sprints back, he would have feel the gap. He could have stopped the cross or perhaps the Reading player wouldn’t have attempted the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Got beat fair and square even if the goal that kicked Reading off had its share of luck with a big deflection off Vyner. As an attacking threat we never really got going. Too often when in advanced positions we failed to deliver the ball into the box, and certainly didn't get shots away. Semenyo had his quietest game for us yet, well shackled by Richards and Moore, while Pato was certainly off his creative game. Disappointing, but not the end of the world and we move on to QPR.

I've been rooting for Moore but he will soon go from an error prone young player to just an error prone player, and that isn't good enough despite his obvious strengths and likeable personality He’s 23 , not young in footballing terms and keeps making the same mistakes.

Morrell would of been on less than half of that i would imagine. Sadly for Joe he did not have a mate on the coaching staff. He may not be represented by the right agency either.

If you want a ball playing centre back then he has to be encouraged to play and that will lead to mistakes. Some of the easy misplaced passes are frustrating but the good outweighs the bad by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aging midfielders and sprinting back, higher up the pitch aren't a good mix. See also centre backs. Morrell might have made it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galway Red Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 You've got to question Holden, he made 5 substitutions and Patterson wasn't one of them, quite possibly one of the most innocuous performances I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexhill reds Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Good honest interview from Holden, wouldn’t agree with the penalty lines though. I suspect some players might have been on the receiving end of a Manc bollocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also completely understand that it’s a results business, especially for him atm when he is effectively auditioning for a better contract and longer term a career in management. It doesn’t mean that I enjoy the football though. But I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Well at least it wasn't 6-0 and two red cards. We got away with that, I suppose. Fair play to DH, he didn't dress it up. And he is right, on to the QPR game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first hour was completely wasted with Diedhiou up front - today he was back to being clumsy, trampoline boots, and ambling around. I hope thats the last start he gets tbh. He was abysmal, fine as a late sub if we must, but thats it for me. Semenyo was fighting a losing battle up front on his own and, although he didn't have a very good game, at least he had mobility and gave their defenders a bit of a game. We should persevere with him and give him as many minutes as possible to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo76 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Reading had four attacking, creative players in the pitch. We had none. A lot rests on the return of Williams and walsh. I feel the lack of wingers in either of our systems was evident again today. Very little ability to use the width of the pitch and get crosses in. (Not that fam would finish them). Not wanting to slate the players too much, I did fear the schedule and lack of available rotation would catch up with us today and I think that was a big factor.

Get over it. I saw no lack of effort, just didn’t go for us today. Makeshift defence facing one of the best attacks in the division, and a wicked deflection for one of the goals. As usual, some people on here need to get a grip. Anyone who knows anything about football will recognise that a decent team are most dangerous after a poor run, so the form table actually indicated what a difficult game it would be.
