    Bryne was shit at league two level and was a liability to our back line. Why is he starting in League 1?

    Alexander can get as pissed off as he wants, but hes only got himself to blame. 20 thousand city fans know that Bryne is a liability and Kav isnt a 10 but he loves trying it out time and time again and then make crap excuses when we lose

    Cant use injuries as an excuse either. Couldve had Cook on the bench, chose not to. Could of started with Mcntyre and Lapslie but left them on the bench

    But in a scouse accent.

    That can never be acceptable.

    Mansfield possibly the team that puts a run together that quite a few fans have mentioned any team could do in this division. Were in the relegation area 3 games ago, now currently in tenth.

    Might just be an early shape, but it looks like we have gone to 2 up top and a 10 from that one attack.

    Only tactical change at half time with T. Wright and Kavanagh swapping sides. Suspect they've both been given 10-15 minutes and if it doesn't improve then I can see them coming off for Swan and Sarcevic.

    Cook has to be on his way out if he cant make the bench.

    100% that's handball, the 2nd replay angle shows it perfectly.

    This game is highlighting the reinforcements we need in January.

    Striker and an winger/attacking midfielder are key.
