There haven't been any crunching tackles but we've been really snapping at their ankles when Watford have had possession in this second half. Making life difficult for them 1 Quote Link to comment

Not much came off for him today, add in the free header missed and he needed to be replaced. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

ProfitInMyPocket Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Do we have to stay in the same formation for the whole 90 minutes every game? We're so easy to read, mix it up a bit, give them something different to think about. 2 Quote Link to comment

He’s constantly said that his preferred position is RB, but with this formation and the fact they want to play 2 behind the striker means that until Sykes is fit then that’ll be his position. Tanner’s doing nicely as the 3rd CB. I think he’ll improve with minutes. Quote Link to comment

INCRED Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Sky soccer Saturday, please get it right. We equalised after 25 mins so it was 1-1 at HT. Still saying goal behind at 75 mins - get a grip and tell the presenter that he’s talking rubbish 1 Quote Link to comment

Please come back Jeff S. It's now 4.40 and we've been informed again that Bristol City are trailing 1-0. Would he do this for onw of the top Prem teams? Quote Link to comment

YorkshireSection Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Just now, cellist said: Bit harsh? We are trying to press aggressively, they juay have some very good players who are good with the ball in tight spaces. It's miles better than millwall/Birmingham- but so are Watford. Think it's the case of final ball/little bit if quality- mcrorie and Knight a bit rusty when they've got into good positions Just now, mozo said: There haven't been any crunching tackles but we've been really snapping at their ankles when Watford have had possession in this second half. Making life difficult for them I think tuesdays performance made a lot of people nostalgic of years gone by, a city team more than holding their own physically, snapping into tackles that got supporters out of their seats, cheering the team on, creating a mood more attributed to Ashton Gate in the 90's. I mistakenly thought that this tactic was here to stay and this was Manning in part putting his stamp on things and showing us that the dark arts are part of his tactical repertoire and he is shaping a city side that can play football at the same time as being a nightmare to play against? 1 Quote Link to comment

old_eastender Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Tanner has played well at the back, but his throws and his control when the ball given back to him are poor. Quote Link to comment

Do you actually like any of our right-sided players? That’s just being uber-critical, I think he’s been very solid. 1 Quote Link to comment
