    We're being facetious but the truth is closer to reality than we'd like to believe.

    Last season City scored only 1 goal from a corner, which was the last home match v Plymouth.
    Remember when Stuart played all his set pieces were inventive. Let's hope he can introduce a variety into this squad.

    I think its frustration rather than out and out criticism, as you say we could/should have gone in at half time at least 1 - 0 up Stuart will get it right, at least we kept the ball on the green most of the time.

    Totally agree. Thought we were composed, and playing some nice football - until Novak missed that chance. Just watched it on the Football League show, and that second bite he got, was easier to score than miss. Seemed to have swung his entire leg at it, and ended up scuffing the ball with the outside of his boot. Total game changer that one. Where have we heard that before too? :)

    Yep. Don't panic Captain Mainwaring. Stuart says we have plenty of time to bring in another striker.

    Yes. Four more league games before the window closes on Friday Oct 16 and a couple of cup games as well. That's plenty of time!

    If we wait and bring in a couple of quality players then all to the good, If we have waited all this time and bring in 2 journeymen players as fillers I will not be a happy bunny

    I think that's the date for international transfers which is uually 10-12 days before the domestic deadline.

    Go on, post it again. I think it fits in very well with the striker discussion after today's match.

    Thing with Novak is he’s half decent if you give him the chances in between the goal posts. But to get those chances we need to get to the byline and cut it back for him. We are never gonna do that under that formation at home. Did it last week away with French for our goal vs bolton but otherwise it’s always going to be hard. Have been asked today to do the wrong job for me.
    Stuart got his tactics wrong.

    That been said I don’t rate either of them and would have Novak off of the bench. I’d have two with a bit of pace and skill up there to run in behind etc. Hiwula would be one and then someone in the mould of Sam Surridge but can’t see him dropping this low and he was on the bench for Bournemouth today

    despite Guthrie being on the back pages of the t&a every other day he’s never gonna get a decent amount of goals. He’s a Monday to Friday training player and can’t do it on a match day. A bit like Jordan Gibson.
