Supersonic Robin Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Think people are being a little harsh on Weimann. He's got into some good positions but has been fouled almost every time when he's done so. 6 Quote Link to comment

The initial contact was outside but he stayed on his feet into the area, was about to shoot then got clipped again. Pen and a red as not attempting to play the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment

I maintain that Conway is better playing as part of a 2 and not a lone striker. Cornick and Conway would be interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment
Robin101 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Dreadful atmosphere. Thought it might be feisty but no… flat, dull, as if no one cares. Barely any encouragement even if we nick the ball and have four on two! 2 Quote Link to comment

Barrs Court Red Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Feel like a goal for City could lead to a comfortable win. Wednesday look threatening on the counter, but 3 floated crosses have been easy for Max. Quote Link to comment
steveybadger Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Need to move the ball quicker, with better movement, and make better decisions when we have chances. If we do we’ll win. 1 Quote Link to comment

BLRed Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 We seriously lack football intelligence in the final third. Mistimed/inaccurate passes and crosses, lack of intelligent runs, no one with the ability to put their foot on the ball and dictate with any form of composure. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Gazred Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Yep, Conway too isolated against their monster CBs. Game is there for the taking, just need to step it up a level. Quote Link to comment
ChippenhamRed Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) 32 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: Maybe this forum just isn’t a true reflection of the overall fan base If you’re interested enough in City to contribute to the forum, then that probably makes you a bit more passionate about the club than your average supporter. But I don’t think that means opinions here aren’t broadly representative. On the poll this week, there were 800 votes and over 90% thought the club were wrong to sack Pearson. That’s so extreme in one direction, I think we can reasonably assume a large majority of the fanbase did not want Pearson to go. But we probably have to concede that most people might not care as much as your average OTIBer. I think the issue might also be that there’s no focal point for our frustrations today - it’s not like Steve Lansdown strolled across the centre circle. Having said all that, I do think it’s a bit surprising and disappointing there hasn’t been more of a reaction. Edited November 4, 2023 by ChippenhamRed 1 Quote Link to comment

CityCiderEd Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I think we look a bit flat. Tommy struggling to get anything out of Diaby and Sykes needs to have a go getting to the byline, permanently going back slows us up.... Quote Link to comment

Barely any encouragement even if we nick the ball and have four on two! Agree - it feels very flat, dispirited and we don’t look overly sharp. It feels like as opposed to feisty it’s reflective of the general disillusionment following the events of the last week. Saw S82 tweeting that they were getting behind the team (as opposed assumedly to getting at Lansdown or pro Pearson shouts), but I can’t help feel some of that “edge” may help things. Fact is the players probably don’t understand the decision so their heads are not totally there. I realise they’re pros but they’re also humans. 1 Quote Link to comment

Spike Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I think our biggest issue in the game so far is Weimann is offering nothing and we keep trying to play long balls in behind despite them being a man down and so they are sitting back and setting up for that. If we want to have any success in this game we need to make the most of the extra player, move them about, play passes that create space, not lump it up and essentially waste the man advantage. I know people don't want to hear this right now but this is where we need a manager who can identify that issue and make the changes, to speak to the players and tell them this, not to stick to the one plan they had before the game. I actually think I'm even more frustrated than I was before the game watching this, to me this is football 101, you get a man advantage early enough in the game you don't play a style that doesn't work on a team who are sitting back, Sheffield Wednesday will see this situation as if they can take a point it's a good result, we on the other hand will see it as an utter failure, and rightfully so as we have the advantage, we're at home, we have a lot of players back, this team put out today is arguably our strongest line up if you put Bell in for Weimann. If this team can't beat a 10-man team who are bottom of the league at home then questions are really going to be raised, especially when the performance against Cardiff with a bare-bones starting line up had more teeth to it than this one has so far.
