    Lets be clear i'm not expecting us to smash teams. What i am expecting is to not see teams languishing at the bottom come to Valley parade and look more than competent because we line up with 5 at the back, especially when we have attacking options on the bench.

    McCartan was worse and Reeves had been ill.

    Do you watch the games? Every time he got the ball he had zero options, literally zero every time, no movement no willingness to receive the ball.

    Reeves is the only one with movement and trying to get things to happen - our nos 10 failed to provide a link to the front two and midfield and as for making safe passes, back and square Mr Palmer has a lot more to answer for.

    Today was Reeves poorest game for us so far, unfortunately Palmer was no better.
    What really piss's me off is from the kick off without fail we play the ball back to Paudie/O'Connor who hits it long hoping Vaughan gets on the end of it, then when we get goal kicks or the ball goes to O'Donnell we then try and play out from the back, if it's good enough from a dead ball kick surely it should be the way we play from the kick off.

    Yeah I watched the game.

    I think he drops too deep then does nothing with the ball.

    He fools a lot of people. He's busy but he's is a Sideways player.

    You make a good point. Shay was poor and I suppose you can't replace em all but I'm feeling the need to berate Palmer whom survived 90 and was awful.

    Speaking of Shay, heard he went straight down the tunnel and didn't look impressed with his substitution. Anybody any thoughts on this?

    I might disagree with your opinions, but I won’t start telling you to support another club and decide whether you should or should not be attending games, mainly because I couldn’t care less what you do in your spare time. I’ve simply lost a bit of interest in the club which is fairly standard. It’s not an outrageous claim and I’m not sure why it concerns you anyway? How does the way I support the club affect you again?

    You can call it ‘constant bitching’ but I have a right to express my opinion. If you don’t like it then either suck it up or find the ignore button so you don’t have to read it.

    Yet for all the 'looking more competent' they lost. Zero points. Still clinging on with their finger nails to professional football.
    My guess is that they would have conceded 50 shots against, 0 goals to 1 shot for and it's in the back of the net. No ?

    He went to get his coat. Was back within 2 mins. Radio Leeds said live on air that he walked straight down the tunnel - totally inaccurate!

    They then retracted the question of him sulking when they found out her went to get his jacket. Class reporting again from Radio Leeds ‍♂️

    Can't find the post but somebody mentioned that the 0-3 loss v Accrington was easily forgotten as somehow putting gloss on the last two displays. Tbh it is very fresh in my mind as was the same reverse at home to Rochdale, on both occasions l was highly entertained, just not by City.:brig:

    Walking off he didn't look impressed it was him going off but he's another one.

    Playing as a 10 he needs to do more. He was dreadful.

    Last two games I have seen Carlisle away and today
    1 goal against the bottom 2 sides isn't play off form never mind autos both performances absolutely dire The atmosphere was dreadful today the only noise coming from the Morecambe fans fair play to them and their drummer created the only atmosphere there was
    One of the lads wanted to stop in the Corn Dolly but was outvoted he was absoluletly right
    At half time the 2013 suite was packed and still packed after the 2nd half started not many returned to their seats We were bossed today at home to the bottom team we couldn't have complained if they took all 3 points that's for sure
    GB antics at the final whistle suguested he was overjoyed pity most of the fans weren't
    Play like that against a decent side and we will be beaten out of sight but whilst we are in Play Off/ Auto spot GB will keep playing his boring blend blend of football
    20k season tickets (your having a laugh) Mr Rhodes

    My thoughts exactly. Really poor performance until we went to 442. How can so many people see it and Bowyer can’t. Wood and Connelly looked decent together on the left, get Zeli on the right and play 2 strikers.

    I understand playing with 5 at the back for tougher away games like next week, and it’s nice to have that option, but there’s no need to have 3 CBs against a lone striker who has 1 goal this year. Boring, negative tactics.

    I have no idea, i can only comment on what i saw today. Nothing to choose between the sides but we come away with the 3. A bit most of the games i've seen this season. I should be happier than i am but there you go. There'll be plenty that are happy about today, i'm just one of the ones that isn't.

    Yes it was highly entertaining. It was like watching clowns in a circus. It's just that Accrington thought they had turned up for a serious professional football game. I'd almost call it the most embarrassing football game I'd ever watched City play. There were a few more that season to rival it!
