I can only comment on the video clip he did everything right except beat the keeper hence my "looks like all strikers miss sitters" 3 - 0 game over, it was bad enough following the last 10 minutes on all the programes I could open, must have been sqeaky bum time for you lads watching it in real time.

 

I think @Farsley Bantam reckons we should have scored more in the first half......

 

Thought McCartan did very little when he came on so, I'd keep Oteh in the team.

 

No it’s not you Bantam4ever get well soon it’s me. When I go to the loo during play city score, I missed two goals at Chelsea . So travelling to Macclesfield with the Corn Dolly we should win 4-0

 

Aye, you and @Skyebantam

 

he gets one win at Stevo and he’s full of it. Nailed on defeats at cambridge and colchester.....

 

Reminding about the Drury handshake. It’s also shown on the highlights. Absolute classic.

 

Madness

 

Who else do you blame? The managers normally the decision maker isn’t he?

I didn’t hear his interview, but if that’s the case then who decides to sit back and invite pressure on while the gaffers telling them otherwise? Sounds illogical to me

For the record, I don’t play fifa or any other computer game

 

Your theory sounds more illogical tbh, that a manager can control individuals in the heat of a match. We couldn’t keep hold of the ball second half, which is why we dropped deep much to Bowyers annoyance.

I can’t tell if you actually think a manager actually likes to invite pressure on or not, do you honestly think they wouldn’t rather get a third or fourth when they go 2 up?

 

Don't like slagging off players but I thought Akpan was poor yesterday. But why I mention him is to say that when Vardy scored for Leicester yesterday he celebrated just like Akpan with his hands behind his ears to the crowd. I'm sure that Akpan's way of celebrating was absolutely no more than that - just a celebration without any malice to the crowd.

 

So you didn’t actually answer my question wilsden. I can only decipher from your post that you say it is the whole teams decision to sit back for the last 20 odd minutes, which doesn’t make sense as you then contradict yourself in the last sentence by saying the players wanted to go on and score 3 or 4! If they wanted to score more then they wouldn’t have retreated so deep. Losing Pritchard caused an issue, but not to that extent

 

You aren’t making much sense mate, not sure I’ve contradicted myself but you just might not know what it means so we’ll leave it there

if you think a manager deliberately chooses to invite pressure on rather than go for further goals then there’s little I can do to help.

 

With all due respect, go away John. You just can’t wait to jump on the bandwagon, it’s very noticeable and predictable. I can have a reasoned debate with the best of people, but yours is just about insulting the person you are trying to belittle. Do me a favour and mute my account or something will you

 

Was it just me and my mate or did McCarten look knackered and he was only on the pitch 15 minutes or so?

 

Oteh's miss was a great save. We've all had that headrush when there's an open goal to be had, and try to smash it in. The keeper knew what he was going to do, and full himself full stretch into the balls path. The difference between Oteh and Messi, is that Messi would have had that sixth sense what the keeper was going to do, and he'd have either taken a touch inisde the keeper, or dinked it instead of smashing it. That's what makes Messi the best player in the world, and makes Oteh a League two striker The encouraging thing is, that his head didn't go down after it (although I bet later on he was sh1tting bricks when they pulled one back). He looks a step up from Patrick, and I'll see him play some more games in Donaldsons place before I make proper judegement yet.

 

Just seen the Cooke challenge IMO very lucky he did not get a straight red, sliding in his tackling foot was off the ground although Camara made a meal of it.
