    For all the PC in this world you can't alter or airbrush history. If Einstein said it's the definition of madness then no amount of PCness or wokism should change what a genius said.

    Since when did relaying a world acknowledged and accepted quote (in it's correct manner) become crass. The world has gone bananas, and altering a 100 year old quote to fit current thinking because it refers to madness is a step too far.

    In Einstein's interpretation he used the word madness to relate stupidity not mental health issues.

    If I were Mr Sparks he would have already done a press release explaining in detail his comments
    Seems like our esteemed manager has him by the short and Curlys
    As @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart posted it's time for him to do the job he is paid for
    He is no different to any previous manager and would do well to remember it's a results based business and at the moment our results/performances aren't good enough

    Come on fitness at a professional football club is the easiest and most basic thing to fix. Every manager uses it as an excuse.
    Play to our strengths. Mix it up a bit.
    Get some steel and strength in midfield. For the last 3/4 years it’s been our Problem. We signed Songoo and don’t play him there.

    Get watt out for a bit, he’s not a player you want in there when the chips are down like now. Sutton is ok runs around a lot but what does he do. Most teams pack the midfield now and we lose the game. We are too weak in there and have been for years.

    utter garbage tonight. Not even close to looking like a side. We are nearly in November and are getting worse. Rubbish.

    Problem is we were given the biggun by Sparks and that the club was moving forward in the right direction. And with Adams coming out with bites at the club here and there it tells us we are way off being a team that he thinks is capable to carry out his instructions. We don't need to hear any of this bollox about problems behind the scenes, it's about creating a squad with enough quality to take us up automatically. And that means a stop to recruiting players from clubs who finished the season below us or players that clearly other teams in our division don't want such as our strike force.
    Most City fans have had enough of being bullshitted to and being sold a lemon. For Christ's sake it's about time this club showed some bloody ambition for a change, and no that isn't new bloody dugouts or an official crisp partner.

    I said towards the end of last season and again this that the vast majority of last year's team were nowhere near the quality needed for a promotion side and yet here we are with most of them still playing. The problem is, and it's been the case for most of the sixty years I've watched City, that the club isn't run by football people, and it's more true now than ever. That's the reason we're continually taken for a ride with transfers. We're as naive as hell, and sign players that the whole football world knows to be injury prone or simply hopeless. Until we're run by people who know the football business we've no chance. I suspect this is what Adams now realises.

    You know exactly what that means. Time & time again we succumb to teams who cant buy an away win

    I remember in the 90s when Swansea rolled up without an away win or even a goal, it was about 3 months into the season, and lo and behold they hit us for 6 in a remarkable game which if memory serves me well ended City 4 Swans 6.

    No one in the box.

    Good cross from Foulds, no one near it.

    Good cross from Sutton, Cook by himself.

    This is just evidence that non-scoring midfielders cannot become super scoring attacking forwards.

    Most important half time team talk of his time here coming up but remember "it's always someone else's fault"
    Simon Grayson MK2 springs to mind
    The club needs stability otherwise I would send him back up the M6

    God help us if Angol doesn’t get 30 goals and 25 assists when he comes back.

    Massive reality check tonight for manager/CEO/owner.

    This isn't an aberration.

    Stick 5 in the middle against us and it’s game over, simple as that. We don’t have the tactics, personnel or ability to do anything about it. Feels like another season of decline with another squad.

    Adams once again said he can see why the club has slumped in the last few years but refused to hint what that is. Surely, he must mean Rupp and Rahic. If not would love to know what then, a witches curse perhaps?

    Have had time to gather my thoughts and calm down a bit. Then I hear DA's post match analysis-Wow just wow.

    As embarrassing games go this is up there with the 0-3 defeat to Accrington some years ago.

    A thoroughly gutless, spineless disorganised performance. Even the "atmosphere section" turned on the team.

    A very very bad day at the office and all DA could say is that was our first home defeat and we are 3 points off the play offs. Can someone tell him not to drink whilst working.

    NO sorry that's wrong-what really happened was we were royally rogered by a bang average team. THAT'S why the few that were left in the stadium at full time let you know what they thought.

    1 win in 9

    Holy feck its FGR at home next. Might not bother.

    It'll be the first useful cross in and around the box at least.
