Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Proof that sometimes it doesn't have to be pretty, the only bit of real skill for City was Taylor's wonderful goal. It has been an awful game between 2 teams who look as if they are going to struggle this season and for the first half an hour we certainly rode our luck. Our keeper has done really well, and so has Kelly, the rest of the defence looks dodgy to me, Brownhill has saved the defence on several occasions tonight, Eliasson looks ok but needs the ball more, Pack has been poor his passing radar has generally been off I suspect our tactics do not suit him at all, Watkins and Wiemann have been poor but Taylor with the right service tonight could be our match winner. I would consider Walsh for Watkins at half time. Edited August 21, 2018 by Esmond Million's Bung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Welch Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 First 35 minutes was the worst game of football I've seen in a long time. QPR look awful and we looked worse. Looked completely void of confidence and the players weren't trusting theirs or anyone else's first touch. Look terrified of giving the ball away in our own half. Was screaming at Webster to show a little composure on the ball and the goal actually came from the first time we did that. Signs at the end that we can play and hopefully the goal will give us confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
