    First 20 we were nervy. Then grew into game.

    Doyle doing nothing for me.

    Rest looking good.

    Think we’ve looked better as half gone on but no real clear cut chances.

    Needs a tweak at half time. Get Doyle pushed forward

    Replace Doyle with Scannell around the 65th minute mark. Super Sub ;).

    Before the game my main concerns were lack of width, no left footer on the left, Doyle playing in that role, and Gibson and Anderson not being up to it.

    It’s all bearing out so far, though it’s obviously very early days.

    Keen to see Scannell on

    Had this discussion other day on here but where does Scannell fit in if he comes on with no left winger to balance it out?

    On for Doyle, move Vaughan to the centre of the middle three attackers and put Scannell on the right of the three.

    Good point. Give him a free role either side of Donaldson and Vaughan. Whatever role Doyle, Anderson and Gibson have been given, I think Scannell would do it better

    Doyle in the hole doesn't work. Gibson shouldnt be starting.

    Look at the bench it's weak as. Midfield is utter shi&e.

    Sorry Mr Rupp and Mr Rhodes we need to urgently spend some of that 2.5m we got.

    Why we offered Anderson, Devine and Colville new contracts I will never know.

    We definitely need a ball winning/holding midfielder and cover for our strikers! But we also need patience, with the new formation and tactics.

    The difference this year is when we get a corner you know we have chance

    That’s the most useful thing Jermaine Anderson has ever contributed in a City shirt

    Be an even bigger meltdown if we don't beat 10 man Cambridge at home
    It's a bigger test for us now
    Anything less than a win may mean heads will drop

    Bollocks he does. Well, the walking bit is probably right, or jogging, did he ever run?
