I said 10,000 before the game, so 9,446 was to be expected.

They did do the basics well. they had strength and pace about them and they chased and harried and worked hard all game. that can take you a long way as a team.

Yep, he was getting no joy against Philips, so simply changed sides.

Have said all along. Barton is a luxury player. If you play him you need protection around him.

I am growing increasingly disappointed with JOB. For every good thing he does he appears to undo it with a piece of untidy player or error.

The squad is desperately short in key areas, most notably, in goal and the bleedin midfield, which has been a liability all season long.

Another thing is, that once again we didn't make the opposition goalkeeper work for his money. Just how many saves did he make today? None wasn't it?

We simply are not good enough. That is very clearly apparent. We may have some decent individual players, but as a team we are dreadful and once again the middle of the park is one hell of a massive concern. This should have been addressed a long, long time ago.

No, but the shit paper has been touched.

Be interesting to see if the full backs push on under TM today. Philips is good coming forwards, but I have no idea on Stokes.

Totally agree. I think our midfield is weak anyway, but I am just trying to second guess what TM might have in mind.

I'm not so sure. He very much reminds me of Dele Adebola and he certainly has it in his locker to be a match winner.

Yep. Could be 4-3-3 with Nouble up top alongside Samuel and Tudgay. In fact, it could be Nouble and Tudgay with Samuel in the hole just behind.

One change. Nouble in for Odelusi

Now that I would love to see. Especially with him not even being in the match day squad.

Hasn't always been the case that we should have been the 12th man? Can't see owt wrong with that at all. I fully understand why some fans no longer go up, but the extent of the drop off is quite shocking, in spite of everything. Dare say though had we had another JPT area final we would be...

Win, win, win!! I think TM's pre-match talk will get them all fired up and despite the shortcomings of the squad, I think we will win. 3-1, with us hanging on a bit at 2-1 up and as they are pressing, we breakaway and score on the counter attack.

If you're a victory man you most certainly shouldn't be supporting the City.

Yes, it was. It really knocked the wind out of my sails for us. I was euphoric and really happy we were home and everything was looking rosy and he suddenly comes out with 'We're not staying.' The timing of that was an absolute bag of shite.

But those first 2 games we won and even when teams play good football, not every game isn't a good game and they don't always play well. I fully understand the crowds dropping off as the season wore on, but I feel it is a poor excuse after just a couple of home games I have to say.
