I dont think it was. I'm not going to say it was great but we deserved at least a point and got into good areas, we applied decent pressure at times. Sadly, the lack of any cutting edge will stop us doing anything of note this season.

 

Why worry about them, play our own game at home and see where it takes us.

 

Don't sign a goalscorer or a winger and that is what you get. Not an ounce of quality in the final third. Truly dire.

 

Why have we signed a loan striker to offer something different and then don’t bring him on, but replace for a player who will play the same system that hasn’t worked so far??

 

Sorry but i cannot agree with you regarding the 'no better that the boring Bowyer days' (although i agree with everything else you have said). I think over time people forget just how bad we were the final 15 or so games where Bowyer was in charge. Yesterday was 2 evenly matched teams cancelling each other out. Walsall will be in and amongst it this year so all in all, not a bad point, but slightly disappointing not to get all 3. In the Bowyer days, not a chance we would have come back from a goal down. I remember games where we didn't seem to make a single forward ball, or have a single shot on target. Yesterday wasn't that. We just lacked that quality in the final third, and the final ball just wasn't there. But we showed attacking intent and tried to play on the front foot, which is head and shoulders above what we saw in the Bowyer teams.

 

Fair play to McCall, that's the right decision. Now it's down to the players to repay the trust he's put in them.

 

One positive of Covid - not having to sit in the cold watching that crap

 

Watt reminds me very much of Josh Cullen, very good player.

 

I love a good moan but you'd think we'd watched a rerun of the Bowyer stuff from what i've been reading. We weren't that bad tonight, just lacked a decent wideman to keep them on the back foot, Pritchard and DMH were passengers tonight.

 

Seen a few comments about McCall’s interview. I’ve just had chance to listen to it this morning. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Some good questions again by Jamie Raynor, and Stuart does right to rebuff some comments about Guthrie and not wanting to make him a scapegoat. That’s the last thing Guthrie needs and it’s good management.

Overall I think he’s right to say he’s disappointed not to win. We had the better chances overall, but personally I think a draw was a fair result.

The steady start to the season continues. Not spectacular, not a car crash, just steady away. Onwards to the Newport game.

 

All runs end.

2 1 City.

 

Hossanah off for French at HT. What a strange sub.

 

Did anyone think it was a penalty? It looked very generous to me.

 

BBC reporting the shot as being saved by O'Donnell too.

To be honest, AK and the other guy explained they don't get any replays and were at the wrong side, and it looked like a save.

I think you're being pointlessly critical.

Every season we have this boring moaning about how the commentators aren't good enough.

Who cares?

You can watch the game for free, crack on.

 

I'm sick of watching Dylan Mottley-Henry turning and passing backwards. What's the point of a winger who is not prepared/able to take on their opposing full back?
Our strike force is mediocre, at best, but a half decent winger would at least give them a fighting chance of scoring. Sadly, we don't have one. There surely must be a better free agent winger out there than DMH.

 

What does DMH bring?
