    Ah I see we’ve set off like the usual runner way train, what do we do before kickoff, feet up, gentle message, cuppa with a bit of Doonican on the HIFI ffs

    I agree with playing it at home, but not away

    Yes. Pretty much every match. We barely start on the front foot or are leading at half time.

    4-4-2 doesn't work if you CM just pass side ways and have no creativity.

    Since Reeves has come back in we have got worse.. with his ability he should be controlling games like this.

    We give the forwards nothing to work with. No coherent build up play at all.

    When was the last time we put in an acceptable performance away from home?

    The problem is our midfield 2 of Reeves and Palmer ain’t strong enough in a 442 away from home.

    If Cooke was fit then fair enough

    Notice how my joke last week is turning into less of a joke with City trying to much hoofball to Doyle

    Reeves and Palmer too weak to play together in a 4-4-2. We need an enforcer in there, should be Akpan, but he has been a waste of space during his time here

    Akpan for Palmer to add a bit of steel?

    Not bothered about that, would rather they win than Crewe, draw would be best though

    Problem for BowyerS. Reeves and Palmer ineffective. Does he switch 1/both or switch the formation but how does he switch the formation without taking one of the forwards off??
