I'd pay good money to read that.

Daily fail?

 

Nah, that’s like the Beano for grown up’s

 

I think Bowyer is boxing clever. How would it look if he dropped players after one game?
He’s probably told the starters they’ll get a fair crack at the whip. They won’t be able to say they haven’t had a chance.

 

Agreed.

The first player dropped has to be Doyle, still yet to have a good game in a City shirt in any position.

What a poor player.

 

Tuesday's cup game will be an ideal oppertunity to change things

 

Agreed. I don't like knocking players who wear our shirt, but what I do dislike are when people defend players who play for our club because "they've got a good track record". Means nothing to me unless they can prove it on matchday for their current club. Yes, I understand he's been shifted around and played out of his normal position, but a good player would adapt to that. I think his good days were in the past, and he's just hanging on in there. If we dropped D or V (why?!) and played Doyle in the strikers role, I hazard a bet that he'd still not come up with the goods.
I hope we can move him on, and I hope for his sakes that he finds some form at his new club and re-establishes his career, because right now, he's in league 2 and most people are saying he's not good enough.

 

My two pence from the game today;

All these comments on the first half 4/3/3. At no point ever was it 4-3-3. It was always 4-4-2 diamond I’d say. Doyle cannot play the ten role.

Henley looked like a rabbit in headlights playing the ball forward in the first half. Was terrified. Had the ball played to him and with space in front, took touches and turned back. Then in the second half he seemed to have been told to push on and he looked better. Think it was him
Who drew the defender and played it back to Gibson for assist for Vaughan’s goal. However maybe wrong after a fair few beers.

Palmer looks to get on the ball but we don’t seem to pass it to him. He badly needs a Gary Jones next to him as an engine.

Anderson is no good.

Gibson flatters to deceive. Nice assist for goal and looked better with some space out left later on in half but still either tackled himself or lost the ball. But he is an option on the left if we go 442.

AO’C looks solid and comfortable. Not the best in the air against Hanson but very good at reading the game.

O’Donnell. Was a lot more comfortable than last season.

Vaughan and Donaldson together will cause havoc in this league.

I would say go 4/4/2 until players are fit. Gibson left. Scannell right. Vaughan Donaldson up front. Would like to see Longridge given a go.

I wish people would stop throwing their dummies out of the pram it’s pathetic. A lot picked Hurst as manager in the summer. How have his relegated team started? Everyone seemed to want the saviour Steve Evans, how have his team started?

 

I thought Hanson wasn't going to celebrate if he scored against us?

 

He hardly went mental

 

He didn't exactly do an 'Adebayor' did he

 

Is running to an empty car park classed as a celebration?

 

That first half was horrendous. Absolutely clueless.

Palmer the crab.
Full backs zero options.
Vaughan and Donaldson offering no width
Doyle as a number 10
Anderson.
Anderson.
Anderson.

We need width. Look much more dangerous.

 

With all the cra p he gets on here he should have done a lap of honour.

 

Where is Fordy? What have you done with him?

I don’t think I’ve ever been referred to as someone who talks sense, let alone knowing my onions.

That said, I do know a wild onion that has close relatives including the garlic, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. But that’s shallot
