Bentley is literally just as guilty of sticking to his line and not attacking the ball - its literally what I'd be most critical of him on. Max needed to do better more with regards to it being near straight at him. I'm not sure he can try claiming it through the crowd with it being in-swinging. The big question is who on earth was marking him; nobody. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 An excellent half from us. Haven’t seen us play so well for 45 minutes in a long time, we have played all the football, made good decisions, kept the ball well, won most 50/50 challenges and limited them to next to nothing. Of course we all know how so often it goes - if you don’t score when you are on top you get punished - which is exactly what’s happened. We are behind very much against the run of play. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I wanted to write more detail at HT, but that goal is absolutely gutting. MOL in no-man's land and again, City undone by a cross in weak fashion. A real sucker-punch because wow, at times, that was up there with some of the better football i've seen from City for many few years there IMO (without, albeit, creating enough chances though) Expect a bit more Luton second half and hopefully Semenyo can catch them on the break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Think that was Scott’s man. However, bright and intelligent football. Just lacking that quality in the final third.

JoeAman08 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Typical city can’t score when they are on top. Then concede a soft goal. Goals have gone to Weimann’s head. He has tried some real daft things tonight. Trying too hard I’d say. Playing behind the strikers but he has to realise he has an 18 and a 20 year old trying to hold down the midfield. He needs to help but reckon he could be our furthest forward on average tonight. Martin looks like he needs a rest again. His passing has been pretty dreadful for his standards too. Semenyo not linking with either one. Also does not seem as energetic. No complaints with Scott, Massengo, COD, Dasilva, Kalas or Pring. Max needs to do better for the goal. Also some dodgy kicks. Could be Bentley’s chance coming up soon? Vyner I think has just had to be counted on far too much. Not really for this level but should be cover. Thrust in for a lot of this season because of injuries and such. Need to sign Klose now though. Vyner needs a mental refresh from the bench. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keflav Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Dominated the game but did not really make any clear cut chances, and then go behind to a very poor goal to concede (there only shot on target) which either max should just take or should be defended properly....

MarcusX Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Well for 40 minutes I was going to write a really positive comment at HT. Slick passing, confidence on the ball playing from the back, some skills and a lot of energy. Completely undeserved goal but that’s what happens when you switch off. Interesting take on that goal, 2-3 players were busy chatting and laughing with their opposite number instead of working out who was marking who. With Vyner off someone needed to pick up Rea? (Long haired number 6) - it wasn’t until just as they went to take it that COD decided to ask who Zac had been marking, cue confusion, Jay coming to mark the number 6 and no one paying attention to Lockyer Other than that, it’s been nearly all City but nothing clinical in the final third. No idea what those crosss were like from this position but keeper hasn’t been tested. If I was hyper critical Max looks shaky, sometimes comes then stops or stops then comes for it. Zac started a bit shaky but looked better as it went on. Jay too one footed in the final third. Positives though, Cam Pring looking very good, Scott as usual very good on the ball. Him and Massengo are loveLy in midfield. COD causing his man havoc and the defence have generally dealt well with the big two up top. If we can do more in the final third it’s still ours to go and win second half 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
