    Fair enough, but I think the question Payne has to be asking himself is, can he play well in a successful team? Can the team be successful with him playing well?

    You could suggest either is an obvious 'yes', but it hasn't happened yet.

    Not sure it’s Payne’s fault we have the worst Center back pairings for 8 seasons

    I thought we had that last season, to be fair.

    We may have somehow weakened the defence since then, but you can compensate slightly by being good going forward, which should not only bring goals but reduce time defending.

    Clearly we don't have that either.

    It is not a question of leaving him out he is a good player with the ability to go a long way in the game, But part of that is his willingness to change to be less greedy in possession and be more aware of his team mates efforts to both support him and to get in good positions to damage the opposition, He is young and has time to learn and with good coaching he will become less greedy and a better asset to the team, But for his own sake and ours he needs to learn quickly that he needs to play more for the team.

    Agree, for the best part.

    For the team to fully benefit from Payne, he needs to either spot a player in a great position, or one making a run to be there ............. Then pass. However - The game is not so simple as that. If no-one is making a run, then sometimes you have to 'go it alone'. But that does not exonerate Payne from any blame.
    Had I been in Paynes position, I would be yelling at my team mates to GET into those positions, and MAKE those runs !
    Frustration is one thing, but to remain silent is another. Which is why City are where they are.
    Josh Wright could have set the tone for all this, but he is possibly the most silent of all ?
    'Captain, my arse' as one character might say.

    Sorry if I missed it but what’s the best place for parking at Doncaster?
    Must be feeling off my head, going to go down and pay on the gate.

    Tough game in prospect today. I’d stick Jim O’Brien on coppinger and make life difficult for him. He’s a great player in this league even at his age.

    Marquis is a decent target man though. Worry about us defensively in the air against him.

    Hopefully we can nick a goal and give us something to defend. It won’t be pretty I don’t think today.

    3-0 defeat, an improvement on recent weeks but a totally inept display with one attempt all game, a pi5s weak shot dribbling towards the keeper, an injury to a centre half and a midfielder, Kai gets on the pitch and looks like he’s never played football in his life, Wood stands out for not being as sh1t as Chicksen. After the game there are tweets from all the players, variations on a theme they’re told to tweet, about how they’re gutted, embarrassed for the fans, sorry, will try harder next week and how they’re gonna smash it in training before they go again.

    Think you need to find @BWWB@BWWB for a beer or two before the game, you'll feel much better after a couple of beers and an hours therapy.
    2-1 City, two late goals from Kai.

    I'm going but can't remember the last time i felt this apathetic towards the team. If you spot someone asleep on 4 seats it'll be me.

    Well done RT - a bolder Man than I.
    I'm only 12 miles away, and I was up for this one about 4/5 weeks ago ........ What a difference a month makes, huh? :(

    Personally think we will get something at Donny, since hopkin arrived I believed this is the game that the tide will turn.(must be mad) Team selection if fit will be Same as last week and although hopkin likes the wing back formation 3-5-2 I have a feeling we may go 3-4-3 with scannell and ball playing either side of Doyle.
