    Wouldn't argue except Butterfield should be an 8. Easily our best performer as usual. Looks on a different level.

    Sadly. the keeper and defenders are pub league level.

    What an horrific campaign.

    Did John Ritchie score an own goal on his debut for us? Seem to remember he tried to catch a cross, made a complete arse of it and dropped it into net. Could be wrong though.

    According to Wikipedia our worst run of defeats is 8.Not sure
    If that info is correct but if it is we are very close to an unwanted
    Stat.

    Losing the majority by the odd goal, to me, means he’s tightened a crap defence who, unfortunately are prone to lapses of concentration. He’s then to try and get a misfiring Doyle and Miller to find the net when he’s no other options.

    When you have 3 central defenders in the whole squad who are shit, 2 left backs, one of which playing his first full season and the other who wouldn’t get in a bottom half league 2 squad, a reserve keeper who can’t get into a team who lose every week, then you can hardly blame a manager who had nothing to do with assembling said squad.

    We know you’re on here for the wind up, but give it a rest. You’re like a spoilt kid who’s never happy.

    You’re flowering it up to justify your own opinion. He was poor. He wasn’t alone, but he was poor. Did nothing positive of note and didn’t protect the defence.

    He ran a lot. And played some lovely 5 yard sideways passes - if that’s your thing, then fair enough.

    My other half who I listen to when it comes footie, says the only reason Wright is getting an outing is to try and persuade another club to take him on, hoping he does enough to temp them.

    What I want to know is this. Throughout this season we have been told that there has been ‘lapses in concentration’ especially in defence. How does this happen? You are playing a football match, and your primary role is to defend, how can you lose concentration? What else are they doing while concentration is being lapsed?

    If it works it will be an almighty positive to the end of a very sorry season. (And Fordy, this is nothing personal against your little favourite - I just don't want us having to fork out a ridiculous amount in wages for another year on a player who offers us absolutely nothing).

    I agree entirely. Jason Thornton said yesterday if you feel like this you are not a true city fan. 48 years man and boy home and away. How dare he say that, he's a complete t*sser.

    One of the reasons why Pulse Sport really do need to review things at the end of the year and should really talk about if Jason should carry on. Would you agree @EwanJM@EwanJM

    He ran around and clapped quite hard from all accounts. My, how your standards have dropped. And to think only a few days ago you were giving the club advice on all things football.
    Get Josh to polish your Merc for you and you can chat about how great he is whilst he is buffing your bonnet.

    You should make a complaint.

    A lot of them are "hungover from" late night computer gaming I here ? Its well documented that this practice destroys mental alertness. It would explain some of the zombie like defending and forward play ? Bowyers making efforts to reduce screen time on phones and boxes apparently.?What's it called "Fornight" ? well it's nowhere near once a blooming "fortnight" with this lot ? so there must be something in It?

    Not up to me. All I’d say is enjoy the choice while it lasts.
