Feathers McGraw Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 3 minutes ago, IAmNick said: Who should he bring on though? I think the problem is we don't really have the type of player we need on right now sat on the bench. I’d give it 15 then bring on Wells. Played well in the 10 pre season and his composure can capitalise on the good work of Armstrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Our press is our creative element. Again, too laborious in open build-up play. Two very good saves from O’Leary, thankfully. Need Bird in CM, wasted as a 10. Armstrong good half. Sykes poor. Pring can be more adventurous against Coyle. Go at him. Mehmeti not involved with much of our play on the right, but better as he got more involved in that’s 15 of half. Williams bit of a beast of a game at times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) 7 minutes ago, kidjupiter said: I watched the early preseason games when Wells looked great in the 10 role - did he have a shocker in a later game or is Manning more concerned with the press? My guess is it is because we are away from home against a team that did well last season and Manning feels that it makes more sense to have Knight or Bird in the role for those games as they can become an extra midfielder. I’d have gone Wells though. Edited August 10 by LondonBristolian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams, Knight and Sykes all wasteful and extremely frustrating to watch. 7 minutes ago, cityexile said: I think we have pinged the ball round well, looked confident, pressed well, shape has been good and are the better team…until we get near their box. Really like Armstrong. It’s ended with Max being the one who has made the better saves. 5 minutes ago, Malago said: We look really well coached. Team working well as a unit, particularly the press which has been fantastic. However, we lack moments of individual quality. Agree with each of these. The good thing is City look the better side in general. Just frustrating that we're not showing more quality around the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 The press has been good. Armstrong looks a beast , needs support as all those up front have made poor choices. Max has been, well Max. There have been a couple that look a little off, but even though Sykes bad touch cost a good chance at goal, the link up down the right and through him has been good. We have to start shooting. They just showed highlights where we are trying to "thread the needle" with passes into a packed box. Smash one and we might get lucky. I don't see a need for subs yet , we are very much in this and more than holding our own. Bit more quality around the edge of the box and we might be able to nick it. I imagine they will be a bit wary of Armstrong now , might sit deeper. If they don't that through ball could be a real weapon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s barely had a touch in the game and when he has he made the wrong decisions Agree. Typical being the instance where he did well to read the pass out and win the ball, only to try a mid-height shot from a narrow angle, instead of cutting the ball back for Bird who would have had a great chance to score.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 5 minutes ago, Gert Mare said: Our wide play and the speed really lets us down. We’re having to play so narrow up top because we can’t beat a man and deliver a cross into the danger area. Hull had that break and a whipped cross put City in trouble instantly and it was a point blank save from Max to keep us at 0-0. Max really starting to look like a very impressive keeper. If we can beat a man and get crosses in Armstrong will be a real menace because of his sheer strength. We don’t seem to have learned anything about our problems last season up top. Ryan Giles is the best crosser of a ball in this division and we need to try and keep the ball away from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 2 minutes ago, Son of Fred said: Imo we should get Naismith & Wells on & not wait untill it's too late.... Where would we bring on Naismith? Hull has made it clear that they like to attack with pace, I'm not sure bringing on a man who lacks pace at the best of times is a good idea, let alone when he's still not match-sharp. I still find it odd that Mehmeti has never been given a chance in the middle, he can be tricky to get off of the ball, he just tries to hard to get into a shooting positon but if he were in the middle he'd not have to travel so far to get a shot off and that's what we're lacking right now, someone willing to pull the trigger. I'd quite like to see Bell come on for Williams, move Bird into Williams spot, Bell on the left, Mehmeti in the middle where he'd be a nuisance and if Mehmeti was struggling just bring on Wells for Mehmeti. Manning knows what he wants, I just find it odd having a player like Mehmeti who looks like he'd suit a narrow wide position or central advanced position better and just leaving him on the wing where he'd too wide to cut in and get a shot off which is what he does so well.

Armstrong is a bad call, he's the reason Hull are panicking at the back a lot, he's working damn hard and causing problems. Sykes hasn't played bad, he's just playing the tactics he's been told to, only reason to take him off would be a few bad crosses. Mehmeti isn't playing bad either, just gets the ball very wide and you can see he wants to come into the middle which is why I said I'd give him a chance there. Williams... yeah he needs to go off, worst player on the pitch by a considerable amount atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
