    Well we have a consistent settled losing side. So not all bad then!!!! When is he going to work it out, that we cannot play the style he wants to play?

    Critchlow to platt. Platt to critchlow. Critchlow to smallwood. Smallwood to critchlow. Critchlow to full back. Full back to wide player with full back up his chuff. Loses ball. Touches into touch. Back to our fullback.

    Repeat ad infinitum.

    Platt to critchlow. Critchlow to platt. Platt to halliday. Halliday to Lewis under pressure. Diagonal ball to foulds head / carlisle player who has been primed about this pass / or into touch.

    Repeat ad infinitum.

    I could set up a team to counter this repetitive predictable shite.

    I watched an interview with Warnock last week and he said that when you go to a club, you build the tactics around the players you have but Hughes has gone the way of implementing a style and forcing poor players to play a certain way that they're not capable of maintaining

    To be honest Dave I watched City home and away up to a few month ago but the performances didn't make me want to part with my money knowing how we would set up and perform.
    It became so predictable and bloody frustrating.

    Not to worry. Hughes said in the press we are going to really batter someone someday we are that good. Does not look like it will be today though

    I can now see why I haven’t missed watching City since October. I’m trying to be kind here, but it is really boring, really awful and complete waste of £10.

    We are paper thin in midfield and have no bite whatsoever. I'm not 100% on Critchlow, but is doing a good job in a team where too many heads are dropping. Carlisle are up for it and are inter-passing with ease and with pace. None of that really from us as we stutter to find our own game plan. Nothing has changed at all and in spite of promises from our manager, we are going backwards.He really has to get a grip and sort out the wheat from the chaff because Jan alone won't be enough imo.

    The players we brought in during the closed season should be capable of better than this, soul destroying to watch nothing .from either Wright or Eisa.
    We know it wont happen but for me Eisa off for Oliver, Banks on for Chapman and get Wright more into the game, we've not tested then at the back.

    I've never been a football pro, but surely we'd be far better off trying to pass forward, get shots and crosses off and trying to score goals....?

    That was one of the worst first halves I’ve seen us play all season.

    No shots on target.
    No corners.
    Nothing to shout about.

    If it wasn’t for keeper we’d be 3 or 4 down.

    Absolutely abysmal.
