You never heard of a player going off with cramp before?

I doubt it's cramp but we'll wait and see.

He’s played a lot of football recently. He was stretching as if it was cramp but could be a twinge

Considering the players were not deconditioned in the international break then players shouldn't be going off with cramp after 70 mins?

*although sykes was with Ireland.

Heard cramp wasn't playing tonight as he felt a bit stiff?

Colin Cramp?

As I said earlier, first half excellent.

However.

The concern over Liam is twofold for me - “process over outcomes” and the ability to react in a game. It was working first half but there are two teams in a game. The other team react to how you play, and you need to counter react - and do so well.

That MK Dons tailspin troubles me, and it will continue to do so while we have the inability to react to other teams in a game. There is no sense in being wedded to a philosophy and process over outcomes when that process is combated and the outcome is wrong.

Interesting. Tho his reputation at Oxford was the opposite, very astute substitutions which often changed games.

Where is the research he didn't react in game at MK, out of interest?

Funny how the comments have turned and now there are concerns over Manning and the honeymoon is over 

Tbf mate I made the exact point I’ve just made a couple of days ago on the “Hen and Chicken” thread. It’s legitimate based on history but I’ll give credit as due - as that first half was. Trying to be antagonistic like this post is a bit odd.

In other news does anyone else think Nahki is really great on the co commentary? Really insightful and confident to chat away. Would happily have him on more often (although even better if he's on the pitch ofc).

I was just thinking how much we miss him on the pitch in a game like this. Composure up front really lacking for us and he has that.

Hopefully you are right.

Nah.

Its typical knee jerk on a match day thread, nothing more and nothing less.

Dons fans - read a fair bit from them post his appointment. As ever, you can’t be 100% as there is always bias but it is the case that he went from feast to famine there. Losing Twine etc didn’t help but it is a worrying sign in view of its recency - and it was always going to be harder at a higher level

Has Wiemann touched the ball yet?

You please yourself then and ignore any prior posts to suit an agenda. Bit sad is all.

Where would we be with a good striker

You've got Cornick & you'll like it

[Super]

Ffs Cornick.

[petehinton]

That ******* sums it up

[George Rs]

Joe Williams has been poor tonight since coming on, can’t contribute to an attack at all with his standard of passing 

[AppyDAZE]

pass pass pass pass ....oh, Harry

[Curr Avon]

Cornick! What. Were. You. Thinking?

Fair enough. Can't say I've ever met one, nor would I visit their online following. 

I mean they were very, very good in his first season there tho, before getting shithoused by Ainsworths dour Wycombe in the play off semi. 

[RedorDead BCFC]

Harry, you should have squared that 

[UpTheReds]

Such an awful touch

[Lanterne Rouge]

Oh Harry! Too heavy final touch.

[cidercity1987]

Absolutely ******* pathetic Cornick

God our attacking players currently on the pitch are so shit

[maxjak]

3 weeks!   Patience young Jedi?

[Lew-T]

We really need some quality additions in forward areas.

[CityCiderEd]

Watching this tonight only confirms our need for a quality striker.....if we can get one we'd definitely be a better side than we are now. A good striker would have got us a couple in the 1st half that our football deserved. 

[Andrew_V1]

That break just sums us up. Absolutely devoid of quality. 

Nest egg needs to be opened considerably

I legit just looked it up. 5 touches in 20 minutes. Shambolic

[bcfc01]

Good break out from City but poor decision making from Cornick after a good run.

Two City players in the box.

Shame that.
