Agree, very impressed.

My fave City LB….an we’ve had some good ones.

Yours was far more comprehensive. Can be allowed with refs consent.

Benik is on loan

The venue of my penultimate game of football. I played in goal, drew 0-0.

Probably….based on how they’ve played and who I would prefer. Bentley Tanner | Kalas | Atkinson | Dasilva Massengo | Williams | James | Pring Weimann | Wells

I rarely watch red button, prefer Robinstv, but don’t forget HD can be of differing quality levels….depending on bit rate etc. For example when testing HD historically, BBC Alba was the go to channel, as their HD bit rates were superior to other channels.

If you have Sky Q, red button should be HD unless you pause / rewind, etc.

Redundancies started?

Not imho ?

I’m not gonna blame Callum last night, first game back, wasn’t even named on the bench initially. I’m not gonna blame him for a overhit cross on the run. I thought he drifted in off the left ok, laid the ball off on the dribble, but essentially going slightly backwards, but kept the ball moving. I do fear his marker nicking the ball off him when he does that, he allows his opponent to get a sniff of the ball as he doesn’t use his body, nor does he shift ball onto his right side to make a tackle on him impossible without a foul. In the same respect as above about body position on dribbles, he does the same when he closes down / tackles. He gives away little unnecessary fouls on the touchline when his opponent is going nowhere or about to turn over possession. It’s frustrating. That happened a couple of times last night. When your desperate to not let the opposition suck the life out of the game, giving away cheap fouls and throw-ins when an aimless punt forward from an under pressure wingback gets us the ball back does my head in. He has to overcome this….we see it whether it’s a 36 minute sub appearance or a start. He has ability, but this type of stuff overshadows it.

Yes. I expected middle-eight, kinda hoped for 13th. We will improve too as tweaks are made, players evolve partnerships etc.

Thought it was two teams of predominantly 6/10s, with the odd 7/10 and a few 5/10s. We had a good spell in the second half, but I think the loss of Dasilva and Williams (two of our better players) lost us momentum.

Good balanced response Joe. My view was that he didn’t do enough on or off the ball for the team (others didn’t too), but I was annoyed at some of the simple passes that were short, didn’t find their target etc. Even the pass to Palmer running forward into space caused him to check and then Palmer has his options closed down and gives it away. His off the ball / ball-watching was unacceptable today, too often players ran off him. Will be surprised if he starts Saturday.

Fleming said on Monday Semenyo had a knock and was no point risking him.

A bit disappointed with our lack of quality at times. Millwall aren't that good, we are surrendering possession too easily at times. Would be very tempted to replace Bakinson with Wells and move Weimann into the left midfield role. We are a bit deep, and this means James is deep to screen, and therefore their midfield has a bit too much time. Can get us 5-10 yards further up and then we feel joined-up.

see you all at h-t. COYR

Red Lion, Lavington St in the main. Downsy just said you watch on Facebook and Youtube tonight??????

could be....they've started with a back 3/5 their last 8 games.

Back 3 of Ballard, Hutchinson and M.Wallace, wingbacks McNamara (very tidy) and Malone. A midfield 3 in some shape or form with Ojo, Saville and Evans. The City old boys up top (Afobe and Smith). So glad Jed Wallace not starting, nor Jake Cooper.

Semenyo has a knock (Fleming confirmed) that they saw little point in risking.

Pretty poor or just not quite as good as his early games? O’Dowda was in the 18 Saturday…..still wondering what Nige meant last week when he said “some perceive him to be a first teamer” (words to that effect, but definitely used the word perceive). Does that mean he doesn’t have the same view. I’d be surprised bearing in mind he started this season, but thought it was an interesting use of words. Of course he might have picked up a niggle in training, and nothing more than that. Me too, but Nige is good at surprising me….could be another 442, just to keep us on our toes!

Lloyds of London….or Lloyds Bank?

Yep, man and boy….left 5/6 years ago. Am back there contracting at the mo’. You?

Allegedly takes too long to upload it ??????
