    I have said enough about Murphy. But overall our movement was poor off the ball. A throw in and we were totally static. We knocked the ball around often side ways and backwards because we couldn't build momentum. That was because there was no movement ahead of the ball. I sit quite high...

    Rubén Lameiras

    Put Lamieres alongside Maddison and Murphy and they are all to lightweight. For me we need a bit more fight in there; pick from Vincelot Rose or Hunt....Not convinced JOB is the full-time answer. I like JOB and think he has a part to play, but he lacks a bit of defensive awareness to me...

    Our Defence

    Not just targeting Phillips? I think them playing to their strengths was the main factor. El Khayati their best player this season plays down their left.

    Because Murphy wasn't moving for him a lot of the time.

    I heard some of the crowd shouting shoot when Armstrong had his back to goal. Lots of panicky shouts to get the ball forward when there was no movement ahead of the ball. People can focus on individual errors. But our biggest downfall, especially in the first half was lack of movement and...

    Burton

    It started before JFH to be fair, and Clough is another good appointment to keep the momentum going.

    Strange but the video highlights don't show RCC pointing or shouting?

    Our Defence

    Too much focus on Phillips mistake yesterday, apart from that he wasn't too bad. Our downfall was we didn't look like we could break Burton down. Most of our chances came from long range shots. In the first half we passed the ball around but the tempo was very relaxed and made it easy for...

    Disappointing, but still in our hands

    Best part of half a season left. We need to keep playing one match at a time and not get too hung up on the last two difficult games. City fans do tend to under estimate teams which they seemed to do with Burton yesterday morning predicting g a comfortable victory. I remember some moaning...

    The pitch

    Or they just turn up and roll their sleeves up and get on with the job. They didn't park the bus like I thought they would and attacked us. They looked like a side who wanted to win but also knew a draw would suite them just fine. They always looked solid defensively. They can go all the way...

    Just a little comment on the first goal and RCC. The ball in came across Phillips and had him facing his own goal with a player coming in either side. Something that is always difficult for defenders. 9 times out of 10 he probably would have executed that chest back to the keeper. But...

    Well TM realised we needed someone alongside Armstrong and opted For Tudgay. He brought on Cole for Maddison who looked less and less like .unlocking Burton. So I think he wanted Bigi's disciplin n defence. He might pass the ball simply but he does it with some intelligence. If you...

    Yes, you picked up on Moggas comment too

    Hunt, Rose, Lorentzson.......

    I think Lorentzson got injured after joining us. I think with the rest it is match fitness that is theissue. Other reasons, no fee. Free agents so can assess them in training first. Most important of all would you sign a player of less ability for the sake of three or 4 games to get a better...

    Bigi with his pass and move actually started to bring Murphy into the game 2nd half which was actually some achievement because Murphy had looked determined to stay out of it. But we all know certain players are dead in the water before they kicks ball with you.

    Nothing has changed we just have to try and get as many points as we can. I would rather have a bad run now rather than in April. Other teams will have bad results too.

    Agree thought Bigi passed it well when he came on and helped beat some good moves.

    Tudgay

    But three of them almost played Armstrong in. Not saying he was fantastic by any stretch, but we looked a little more likely once he came on. Even if it was just Armstrong finding a bit more space in between defenders.

    We were forced to pass backwards due to Burton's good shape behind the ball, plus Armstrong is the only one offering movement ahead of the ball. Corners to Burton is bread and butter they completely had the measure of us in that department. That is why we were trying to play it short and...
