[Sky Blue Pete]

Should be 1 up but well in this

[Esoterica]

We are as good as anyone in this league. Injuries to 2 key players and we've still been the better team. Missing an extra body in the box without Bayliss there but this game is there for the taking.

 

[Nick]

It would be an obvious change. Thomas is a constant threat on the right. Ironically Clarke Harris has won a lot of headers and knock ons to Chaplin but it’s just not working

Ogogo looks way off the pace

Yep ogogo so slow

Nobody gambling off jch at all with headers or making runs

Chaplin has been offside a fair bit too

 

[peace ndlovu]

Can see Jones for Hiwula in the second half at some point

Yep. Hiwulas not had a great game. Chaplin has looked stronger as the game has gone on. Good to see Brown looking threatening - at the right end!

 

[Paxman II]

Kelly surely in place of Ogogo? Our creativity is coming from Doyle! Shipley may be a good shout.

Would think Kelly isn't fit

Would think Kelly isn't fit

Really if he can’t play 45 mins he shouldn’t be on the bench.

No. No it's not. No it isn't.

What has Doyle done creatively? I’m genuinely interested

 

[Johnnythespider]

Decent first half, this game will do Ogogo the world of good. I wouldn't change anything just yet. Sticking to my 2-0

 

[Otis]

Doyle's distribution has been very poor today.

Ogogo looking pretty good defensively helping out, but not offering too much else.

Thomas our most dangerous player so far and I have been quite impressed with Thompson.

 

[Nick]

Early on, snap their 9 who picked up an injury. He's given Davies trouble all game.

Then bring on Jones on the left and Baka for Chaplin and then whip some balls in

 

[Magwitch]

Sounds like one or two of ours need the proverbial half time kick up the arse hopefully Robins will do that, we,ll be better second half...I hope

 

[Paxman II]

What has Doyle done creatively? I’m genuinely interested

He's been trying to probe and poke it forward for Chaplin and JCH but mostly without success. It's where we miss Bayliss badly.

 

[Cranfield Sky Blue]

It looks like Ogogo is just sitting deep. Not glamorous but doing a job! It’s not been too bad so far but just lacking a bit in the final third. Come on City!

 

[Great_Expectations]

If we step up the tempo and are more direct I think we’ll break them down.

They have one tactic; long ball, especially on the diagonal, which we are dealing with well on the whole.

However, we aren’t playing particularly well. Too many anonymous performances and a lack of intent.

JCH is winning a lot in the air, but nothing is coming from them.

I’d like to see Jones and Bakayoko at some point.

 

[Nick]

They should have scored, good defending though

 

[Grendel]

Real chance there

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Willis excellent again then. They come out alive

 

[Esoterica]

Don't think Ogogo's individual performance has been half as bad as suggested. Doing the running for 2 in midfield, same as Bayliss has to, except Bayliss can beat a couple of men with the ball when he gets it whereas Ogogo looks to play a simple pass. Don't think that combination in CM will ever be very effective going forwards though.

 

[Nick]

Kee shouldn't be winning headers so easily

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Under the cosh here. Jch playing left back

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

FFS our black players don’t even look that much alike!!!

Clive says it was Jordan Willis. Earlier he told us that Willis is easy to spot because of the “permanent” bandage he wears on his arm.

 

[Nick]

Jones putting his shirt on, might just be cold

 

[Nick]

They are just walking through us

 

[Johhny Blue]

Jones putting his shirt on, might just be cold

Are you close enough for a nipple check?

 

[Grendel]

Dire start to this half

 

[Esoterica]

Sure Clive just said 'Connor Chaplin having a word with the Morecambe bench'

 

[Nick]

Doyle throws their player to the floor right in front of the ref.

Chaplin tries a shot

 

[Nick]

A goal is coming for them

 

[Grendel]

Dire from Hiwula - Jones is summoned

 

[Johhny Blue]

A goal is coming for them

Oh ye of little faith

 

[Nick]

Thompson is miles away from their winger every time

 

[Johhny Blue]

Dire from Hiwula - Jones is summoned

Summoned is a good start

 

[Great_Expectations]

Poor poor game.

Why are we sitting so deep? Giving the way too much respect.

Ogogo/Doyle is not a midfield combination that works as part of a four.

We have zero attacking impetus and there’s nobody on the bench to change that as it’s through the middle we need to sort.
