Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: FA Cup - Home v Exeter Sat Nov 6th @ 3.00pm

Sounds a great game. Robinsons is providing another good option up front

 

Kiwomya is City through and through, he might babble on but he’s claret and amber.

 

Same crap that just repeats it's self every week..

They never learn.. and that is concerning.

 

I reckon the players fancied a nice long coach journey to devon rather than in for training yet again!

19 attempts with 5 on target and just the one goal to show for it.

Port Vale warming up for our game by beating Accy Stanley 5-1, impressive.

 

So now we have 3 Tues night games in a row.
Recipe for more injuries.

All they had to do was see out the final 10 mins. Kill the game and watch the second round draw on Monday.

 

Same old, same old from this side. Criminal finishing, then some comedic defending and we throw away a win. Until this club starts to pay for some genuine quality in the final third, we will continue to struggle every week. Pretty sure that's the 4th or 5th 1-1 at home this season. Not rocket science to see what the problem is or how to fix it.

Also, our approach in the second half was disappointing. We were too deep and sat on the 1-0 which, with this side, is suicidal as we cannot keep clean sheets. No idea why Vernam was taken off as he was our only outlet. Gilliead anonymous again, yet he sees the full 90. Cooke on at RW was utterly bizarre.

Positive to see Angol back on the pitch and he looked sharp.

 

He was quoting the situation as he saw it, he can only pick players he believes will do the job I don't see why him being honest needs to be questioned when fans who attended were quoting exactly the same, it will come mate.

 

As I posted earlier no team gets promoted by battering the opposition and only drawing
Yes it's frustrating but happening too often to be coincidence (same as hamstring injuries)

 

These players are not missing them on purpose Steve, of course its frustrating but surely you'd agree not making chances would be even more worrying ?.
Andy Kiwomya commenting on the injury situation and as he says it not over training because the data they get back say that isn't the case.

 

The only solace is that it was a good performance. Let's face it, those City fans watching, or listening, knew what was going to happen. Robinson took his goal well and Sutton provided another all action performance.

It was just a re-run of several games this season. We can't convert enough chances and our game management isn't good enough. And, of course, another player out with a hamstring injury, no doubt glossed over by the manager in his post match interview.

It's becoming a very predictable (and frustrating) experience watching City this season.

 

Good bad or indifferent he's the only one scoring on a regular basis, I'm far from convinced it may be a blessing in disguise.

 

AK is spot on something isn’t right we are and have been having to many soft tissue injuries despite changes in the summer

 

i was disappointed with that draw today. I do have to say i think we would be happy getting “5” points from teams who are 1st, 4th and 5th. We are all so quick to forget how bad we actually were last season. We were talking about relegation! We could have won this game 3-1 with no exaggeration. Give Derek the players he needs and watch us storm this league.

 

Looking at the stats, Cook has the 3rd worst goals per minute return, joint 2nd worst per 90 minutes and joint worst conversion rate. Don’t get me wrong, he’s the best striker we’ve got but we need him to be more clinical when the chances come along. We definitely need better and need the midfield to step up. Gilliead and Cooke should have a lot more than they have given the number of games they’ve started.

 

Didn't go yesterday so relying on the comments on here. In general it seems we actually played quite well against a team unbeaten in their last 15 games.

Just seen the BBC highlights and Suttons volley was a peach and we are a matter of a few inches from going 2 up.

THAT pass from Vernam to Robinson and the cool composure has to make that goal a contender for goal of the month surely.

The defending for their goal was pretty poor though.

Did somebody mention Paudie might be injured?

 

Angol won’t stay fit rest of the season, no. I think we’ll be lucky to get more than six goals out of him from here.

When we brought in Wyke in January we had the advantage of being a L1 club dipping into L2. The problem we have now is if we dip into NL, a lot of those sides now have bigger budgets than us - the likes of Mullin at Wrexham and Tshinmanga (sic) at Chesterfield. Not that either of those would be realistic targets now.

it’s gonna be tough for Adams. Is there someone out of favour up the pyramid we can target or are we gonna chance a younger loan striker.

we haven’t made it easy for ourselves and it might go down to the last few games of the season whether we get into the top seven.

 

Wasn't trying to make an eloquent post earlier just a bit of a piss take of FGR exit to St Albans-which I have every right to do of course-but you wanted to turn it into a moral crusade. Which you did really well.

 

Fordy will be too busy on the Liverpool forum expressing his anger at their goalie's performance today.

Probably not. Unless this Czech billionaire who's supposed to be jumping on board puts enough dosh in to turn the mighty Irons into genuine regular PL title/CL condenders. There is, after all, a big Man U- sized vacancy for one of those slots.

 

Pontefract away would be fun, if they sneak past Halifax in the replay
