    How is this anything to do with Bowyer? He can't work magic with a squad as useless as this, the players gave up before he came

    It's our defence that's the problem

    We've had our chances mate, you cant criticide the manager because the players don't put the chances away.

    Better than he has achieved, Even Hopkin got better results with the same squad and did not have Scannell and he resigned as a failure,
    Looking At GBs results we may have avoided relegation with the few extra points Hopkin would have got out of this team

    Chance's coming to the wrong players, two good chances have fallen to O'Brien.

    He's had Scannel for one game so far Trevor, not sure what impact can be expected of him? We had a month of good results under Hopkin and then his results followed the current trend, our squad is awful and they don't give a crap. I always say the same thing, you can't judge a manager on somebody elses squad and the same applies here if not more - the worst City squad I have seen.

    I wasn't criticising the manager, I was criticising the players for not responding to him, particularly in their box.

    Yet Hopkin got more points from this squad even after December and before he quit and the games before GB took over

    Do you not think this squad has given up? I'd say their performances and results have shown that they have. How can we fault GB? He's tried different personnel and systems, played mates with them and give them an ear full and nothing has worked. GB can only give instructions and ask the players to do their jobs but when they kick off ahe can't kick the ball for them, he can't make tackles, he can't make them do the basics properly.

    Just a terrible group of players.

    The defence is the problem. We cannot build any momentum in a game. Once we have a decent spell we concede and the players heads drop. If we kept it tight at the back we’d have a chance of winning today at least. But we can’t

    Not defending the players who I agree are not very good, Just pointing out that Hopkin got double the points in his last few games compared to GB and the extra points would have helped against relegation

    Overall we have been as bad at the back as we have up front, hence Bowyer's were missing out in both final thirds but today unfortunately we should have been 2 - 0 up before they scored.

    Is a telling clue that Hopkin resigned? Maybe he was that fed up with shower that he wasn't worth it and GB sees a vision just has to wait until the end of the season to implement it. To say we've had three terrible managers for me is unfair, MC should have never been appointed and was way out of his depth.... DH had 4 weeks of something then resigned and GB is facing the same challenges as DH but with a group that is probably less motivated than they were under DH because of our results etc.

    Not fair to blame the manager in this situation for me, Guardiola wouldn't get anything from this group Trevor.
