Meh, we are going to blow them away with our bench.

Get them on quick then as their Mums want them home for tea by 4.30 and bed by 6!

Nothings changed for months, those in power don't want him around 

Sacking him will cost money 

Do we know why?

[Red Army 79]

Is Steve Lansdown the new scapegoat? We have a squad of 25 players.  Our last couple of popular managers Nigel Pearson and Steve Cotterill both wanted to work with small squads. 
 

Yes we should have spent some more of Scott’s money on a couple of quality players but you can’t really plan for your injury list to be into double figures. If you are then your squad size needs to be 30+ that Pearson doesn’t want.

When did we last have a fully fit squad?

Well exactly marmite. Every club suffers injuries of course, including the occasional serious one. But "full strength" is not a utopian phrase - it's used every week in football. 

The situation at City regularly seems to be "whose fit enough to start, and we'll go from there".

Infuriating for staff as much as fans, and surely not the way to run a professional sports team?.

that must be 6 or 7 fouls by Maitee for them, should have been booked by now.

This referee has form for missing the obvious…

If they come on and change the game they can have a large crate of fruit shoot on the coach home

People keep saying this - based on what? There is no communication from the top but many posters seem to read their minds.

Years ago I wrote that if SL and the so called Board don’t communicate then they leave themselves open to all sorts of conspiracy stories.

What a dreadful management style, or rather lack of, they have

Because he speaks his mind.

[marcofisher]

Harsh on Mehmeti that I thought Weimann would be more likely to be subbed.

[M.D]

Can't fault Nige and the lads for this, we may run out of steam tho COYR

[old_eastender]

Free header from Weimann in the box but over the top.

Mehmeti, who did better playing the middle instead of wide left, replaced by Yeboah

 

[footie]

Thought Mehmeti did pretty well in the grand scheme of things! Think that’s probably our subs done now

[And Its Smith]

Alex Scott apparently having an amazing game for Bournemouth

I’m not going to stick up for the Board, but unless there has been a recent take over at a club, when do you ever hear from the boards or owners of other clubs… it just does not seem to happen generally in football these days.

Agreed, Wiemann has not really been effective for a while. Perhaps it was just to keep an experienced head on the pitch.

[cityexile]

Been the better team this half no doubt. Remarkable really.

[Ivorguy]

Come on City, please score so as SL is placed in difficult position re Nige; and we can keep the best manager we have ever had

SL has learned over the years that if he says loads or nothing at all, the fans keep coming and he still spends £20m a year. 
 

So might as well say nothing.

Would be interested to know if any of the more ‘in the know’ posters have heard if Pearson will be gone by the next international break?

I bet you would.

[sh1t_ref_again]

Think James needs to come off, been excellent but starting to struggle now

He’s very happy to show his face when things were going well

Absolutely wrong.  Good management means you deal with criticism by clear explanation

oh, I am pleased !

Feel sorry for number 34 clearly no where near this standard of football don’t think he’s put a foot right. Time to try another kid there

Jamie Knight Labell on for James

[bristol red]

It must be great being a billionaire… playing at being a football manager.. a few yes men under your control… not an effing clue about the real world… playing it like a game whilst supporters give up so much to watch the team they, thier parents, grandparents have supported all their lives… someone is playing us all for fools!!

[Peter1450]

All these kids coming on it’s like being up the HPC
