I may end up being proven to be wrong, but Rushworth seems ring-rusty rather than poor. Of course, whichever one of those it truly is is an issue right now.
Not sure why Rushworth's getting shit, but would have to watch it back. Regardless, we're cutting them open almost at will. As long as we keep playing like this we'll be fine.
I can get on board with him pulling a cat from a bag, or even a rabbit from a hat, but even for our lord and saviour Sir Douglas of Bling, a cat from a hat might be a miracle too far.
I mean, clearly I'm going to watch the game because it's City, but I kind of resent the need for me to spend the time watching what is basically reserve team football. It's just a fairly pointless competition at this stage. I'd almost prefer them to draw lots and start at round 3.
