Ivorguy Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 For everyone's sake play Lucic. The real question is not why we have been so poor over recent weeks, relegation form, but why for a brief moment we looked promotion material As I have said before, and been criticised for, this team, with literally only one or two exceptions, isn't promotion material let alone Premiership quality. Average Championship players at best. If we are to improve sooner rather than later then the dead, or at least dying, wood needs to be let go and quickly. Freeman, Little, Smith, Pack, Fielding etc are simply not going to take us to the next level in this league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgebcfc Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Magnusson, Flint and Matthews did well of the starting xi, the rest were pretty awful. A special shout out to Tomlin who I kept forgetting was playing until he'd pop up and do something awful to remind me.. There must be something fundamentally wrong with the the pre match preparation as they just don't seem focused; controlling and passing a ball is pretty standard stuff yet our boys are making it look like rocket science at the moment, let alone the rest of it!

JoeAman08 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Our form isn't that surprising. We didn't play great to start the season. We won ugly which is fine but as soon as Tammy's goals dried up the confidence started dipping. We are a quality side with 1 or 2 mistakes in them per game that get punished every time. We need to be a quality side with 1 or 2 mistakes per month. I don't know how you cut the mistakes out. I guess it would be better players. Who would've thought our most ample position we are probably at our weakest with CM. Only Bobby Reid has played consistently well all year but gets dropped when someone else gets fit. GON is mostly quality I think has just played a bit too much at times. They'd be my starting pairing from now on if we insist on 442. Bobby has proven time and time again he'll track back and help the team out and has the energy to do so. The attacking he's always looking forward and getting into good positions. How bad are we calling out for proper wide players as well. Tell me Van La Parra wouldn't be a gem for us. Their defense didn't look great either other than Smith. What a performance from him. Need Matthews to get to that level which he's capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that at the moment we are NOT a mid table side in terms of the form chart. We need to act in January or the usual story in this league for City will be back on the agenda, i.e. being promoted with huge optimism only to fail within a very short time When you have supported City as long as I have then it is not a question of short term perspective but long term! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
