Second half been worse than the first half and this could easily end up 4-0. 

Get beat on Wednesday and sack him. 

Another Farley rusk ?

 

Embarrassing 

‘Robin For Life’. my arse

Naismith Kalas Williams James Wilson Benarous with such a small squad we just cannot compete with this many players out 

Could at least make us organised 

[Northern Red]

I do wonder whether Bentley has been unsettled today by not having Naismith there.

[BasSavage88]

Why do we keep letting Scott take set pieces he is awful at them 

[cityexile]

Biggest worry for me is how poor we have been in creating anything last two games. Conceding goals from set pieces is also nothing to do with the risk of playing on the front foot. Is a worry.

Maybe give the French fella a go, Bentley might be a shot stopper, but he’s not commanding in the box and can’t distribute it.

Exactly A defence needs a confident keeper to command his area especially set pieces.

Robin for life, not Pearson for life. There's a difference!

Yep.

"Yeah he might start our attacks but he makes our defence shit"

Well now he's not there, our attacking has gone to pot and the defence is as bad as ever. Still, people got what they wanted.

Spot on

If we have a fit experienced proven centre half available why on earth have we persisted with Andy king at centre half ?

[winsaw]

We are really bad today, we seam to have forgotten how to do all the stuff that was working a month ago, 

Bentley looks like a yts kid who's not played professional football before, 

So many others making the wrong choices, 

I think the 5 subs have not helped as we now have no shape ,

All a bit of a mess today sadly

A very good point , was thinking that with the first two

We certainly lack physicality at the back

Because Pearson can't adapt. He would.have to change the way we play if he put an actual centre back there 

[Jerseybean]

Thoughts are with each and everyone of our traveling fans today,

City were woeful in the first half and only marginally better in the second half.

Safe journey everyone and well done on your brilliant support today, even though the team gave you nothing to cheer!

We can't have a big squad, as nige doesn't like them and we can't afford it.

A few injuries here and there and here we are.

Long season a head.

I don't think it's just an NP preference, for we are walking the FFP tightrope and am literally unsure we can add anyone else as it stands.

I won't labour the point but the constraints are huge, have been for his reign.

[The Original OTIB]

Stop scoring, leaking goals, much trouble ahead.

Chuckling at some of the wallies who are over reacting but do agree with this post. Madness to play King there - we got away with it in the week. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Incredible game at Wrexham v Barnet. 7-5

[AppyDAZE]

Should be a lively night on here...

 

[Numero Uno]

Not a single shot on target. That really is back to the bad old days.............

The least they could do is apologise to those that travelled.

And what with the Rail strike , an added shit fest 

[Bar BS3]

All you wanting Bentley dropped - he's stopped this being a cricket score. 

OK, he's not dominant enough on crosses sometimes - but he saves us game, after game, after game. 

Bentley is the least of our problems..!

Go on Kadji, first appearance in the league? Can't do much worse than our midfield already has played. 

Good luck lad.

Poor players - Not technical or strong enough add in no movement = poor throw ins.

We are slow to use the ball  as well mainly because of the above.

we only know to throw it down the line to Martin and he’s not played all season.

QPR? Happened to play an in form side.

Coventry. Poor, but it happens.

This? Really worrying in just about every single way.

[Ska Junkie]

Absolutely woeful City, bloody crap!

A very bad day, the only positive has been some game time for Tanner, Kadji & Pring.
