    I knew we'd lose when

    Ahh, but hasn't Mowbray been saying we have other systems up our sleeves because we need to adapt our game from time to time? ;)

    Three Myths

    Henderson's wife was having a baby I believe. You surely don't want to blame TM for that do you? The bloke can't win. If we had changed the side yesterday and we had lost, people would be on here screaming that Mowbray doesn't know what he's doing, making changes to a line up that last time out...

    Team for Tuesday. What would you change?

    I was really expecting a 'that was simply not good enough' but we didn't get it. Maybe that's what he said to the players privately.

    Who is to blame?

    Is there something to be said in regard to the fact that after we thrashed Crewe 5-0 we didn't then win for 5 games? Beat Bury 6-0 and next game we're crap. Arrogance perhaps? A notion that we are better than we think we are after these one off hammerings?

    The whole starting 11 today (bar RCC)

    Theory number 2 was that they all just turned up at the ground at 1 pm, in flip flops, wearing sombreros and carrying piñata donkeys under their armpits.

    Conspiracy theory number 1.

    The whole starting 11 today (bar RCC)

    You know what came to my mind during the game, that there was a virus or stomach bug. We looked very listless and I wondered if there was something going through the camp. Might then explain why we kept Murphy on even though he looked injured.

    That ship has sailed, rightly or wrongly. After what has been said I would say there is no return to be had.

    Team for Tuesday. What would you change?

    Murphy is a match winner. Just not nearly often enough. Madison can be too and obviously Armstrong. We do have them. They just don't do it enough. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

    Won 9 out of 11. I would take a draw. Only on the proviso though that we pick up 3 points against Rochdale. 4 points from 2 games wouldn't be too bad. Can understand people saying we have to win, but we have to be realistic. Barnsley have won 9 out of 11 and we have lost 4 out of 6. They are...

    I knew we'd lose when

    No, agree! One up top isn't working. Teams are crowding Armstrong out for the most part. I see on MOTD they were talking about Southampton's three at the back system working really well. That would obviously then give you an extra option further up the field. Is that something worth...

    Yep. Two days running, which is doubly bad.

    Also need to keep an eye on Shrewsbury v Rochdale. We have Rochdale coming up next time out and they are unbeaten in 4 and just drew against Bradford and then beat Sheff Utd. They should prove to be a stern test for us. Two very tough games, Barnsley away and then Rochdale at home. We need to...

    So Tuesday we have: Barnsley v City (simply cannot afford to lose this one) Bury v Peterborough Fleetwood v Gillingham Millwall v Wigan Bradford v Colchester Sheff Utd v Burton Southend v Crewe Walsall v Scunthorpe

    Is Football Crap These Days ?

    That rule is the 6 seconds with the ball in their hand, in play. We're talking about goal kicks, so a dead ball scenario. 10 seconds from when they have their ball in the hands for a goal kick. So 10 seconds to place the ball do their run up and kick it. You have to remember they can change...

    Is Football Crap These Days ?

    Yep. Give them 6 or 10 seconds to take the kick once they have it in their hands and are ready to take it.

    But then if Cole can't play two games in four days and Murphy needs dropping, if we then drop Madison too that is all three attacking midfielders missing all in one go.

    Is Football Crap These Days ?

    Refs should announce the kick off is taking place, whether the scoring team are lined up or not,. Go ahead without them if necessary. Alternatively, like in cricket, where a player has 2 minutes to get to the wicket after a player is out, football should adopt the same concept. Kick off needs...
