    Nothing changes, Novak just as isolated up top as Cook and Rowe were.
    One shot on target yet again showing how little City create.

    * by the way City have not one but two performance analysts.
    You have to wonder how they earn their money, ones called Bloodworth and the other is called Dire or something similar.
    You couldn't make it up City.

    Different day same sh!t, why do T&S think making the odd player change is going to make any difference, we have no width, no one making runs little from our full backs with regards getting up the pitch in support, nothing changes yet they seem unable to see it or they are not capable of changing it.

    Quite a lot laughing on here when it was suggested Bolton and Evatt were gonna be decent earlier in the season. Think it was wetherby whaler who was the most vocal. Well that went well. Might even win the league next week. If only we had followed a similar pattern with a recruitment head in the summer and a good young manager. waste of a season it was there for the taking this year

    I'm impressed with Callum Cooke's performance. It must be hard putting in that amount of effort when you are surrounded by such disinterest.

    Gillead may give us the runaround today
    Agreed, I am watching the body language as much as the ball. They are unhappy bunch and not playing as a team.

    One thing....more minded now that Hornby is the one who stays, if it really has to be one of them, but prefer better options.

    We will lose this a la the last five games, unless we come out flying.

    Problem is we don't have enough players with any degree of confidence.

    Need a whole new back line for me. Canavan with new centre, left and right back. All that back line have been through too much trauma and crap performances. FCD is an able back up.

    In midfield we need options. Watt is annoying with his laborious or backwards passing.

    Evans needs to go for me. Has no purpose. I don't know what position he's any good at.

    Paudie to AOC to Hornby and hoof. This side has no idea how to pass forwards unless its an aimless lump. It's rank bad coaching simple as that.

    And you can see quick ball down the flanks causes Scunthorpe problems.

    Too slow.

    Too many passes backwards.

    Goalie kicks too long, and we lose possession.

    Our passes are either direct to or behind the winger, losing all forward momentum (apart from one peach to Vernan).

    Lack of intensity.

    We look poor defending set pieces (they really should have had a shot on target from that corner).

    No real options to change the game (the mythical Plan B).

    We are making Scunthorpe look a decent team.

    Shots on target ratio is pathetic.

    Another dour (approaching dire) display!

    It doesn't matter how many games they have to get themselves out of trouble, you have a 46 game season and the duty is to try and put out the team most likely to get a result for all those games. If suddenly we are deciding some games don't matter then should every team have given up after 10 games and the league decided on that alone? If there is something riding on it for at least one of the teams then sporting integrity has to matter.

    And for the record Barrow has made 2 changes from their usually starting 11 today. Devitt and Kay in for Eardley and Barry

    The O'Connor's are way too nervous on the ball. Just have zero confidence passing when someone is close. So scared of making a mistake.

    Starts with the Coaches and we've seen the best and the very worst.No player motivation, tactics worse than basic and the players brought in haven't shown enough.Not the level of approach and application we should be entertaining as a professional club...nor from an amateur one either.

    Still maintain it is up to yourself over 46 games rather than having to rely on others.
