He left people in charge who are/ were not fit for purpose. His son and Ashton. And surprise surprise we are tumbling down the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing. How are they shambolic when we weren't - at any point- looking like relegation candidates . It's only been been since NP that we've been truy shambolic. Just look at the stats or go to a match if you haven't recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor old uncle Steve the only ray of sunshine was somebody he didn’t even want I dont agree. Lee was one of our better managers. Blame Lee, blame Ashton , blame the owners but just dont blame the poor old manager. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I don’t think so. But it’s worrying to concede 3 to a team who look like they could have a relegation battle themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee wasn’t that great he failed and failed and failed again with everything at his disposal. As for Steve, 20 years of kickining around Div 2 and 3. Much like the previous 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red white and red Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Very possibly. This side has all the hallmarks of a relegation outfit. No lack of effort, but just a complete lack of quality and the basics to win a football match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 If this is the squad/manager that gets us relegated then I truly believe it’ll be better for City in the long long run. It’ll mean we’ve got a dire set of cards and are in need of a re-shuffling. Just like we did when went down last time. is it better to go down and reshuffle or slowly delay the possibly inevitable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Undoubtedly, we will go down with this squad. We just haven’t the physical or mental strength to compete for a mid table position. Was rather hoping the fitness and injury issues would be resolved. They haven’t been and I rather suspect they can’t be due to our collection of injury-prone and past it players. Confidence inevitably has drained from our half dozen Championship-level players, who have now been dragged down to our non-performers standards. The only hope is action early in the January window. We’ve just got to scrape as many points out of the next two months as possible. I’d go one up front now and just pack the midfield, hope for the best and try to scrape some dull 0-0’s together. Depressing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 At the moment you could flip a coin as to whether we stay up or not. I think we're going to be right down there with the worst of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Robin Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I don't think we'll be relegated - IMO there will probably be 3 teams with less points than us come the end of the season. I do think it could be a long painful season though. Unfortunately, there's not much the club could do to change that. We can't afford to spend in January, and I'm not sure that there's (realistically) a manager better placed to get something out of the squad than Pearson. Even if there was - how will we attract him? We've become a significantly less attractive proposition over the last few years. We're in a crap position as a club, and basically just have to ride it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been supporting City long enough to get the feel- and the feel is that we are fodder. NP has been a top manager in his day but his day has gone- just look at the stats. Is it Nige's fault? Probably not but , imo, a different solution is needed sooner than later. It was much much better with Lee but that's not part of the NP messiah narrative. We will go down unless SL/JL take financial and coaching action now. Well Johnson might be available soon the way Sunderland are going.

Lack of Action Man Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Without serious investment in the squad it could well be a disastrous season. But as many posters on here are so happy to point out - we can’t because of FFP. Sod FFP, how about FFS that we have got to this point through total financial mismanagement under MA and LJ. Wasted millions on dross and bloated the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waconda Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Without proper coaching, tactics, man management and organisation. We will go down. Squad is good enough for mid-table, rest of it is a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsyred Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 The mentality of the team is weak home performances have been terrible all season ironically the best was first half against Swansea ,the away performances are starting to get the results they deserve I honestly think Coventry will beat us 3 or 4 nil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
