Taking off your only real outlet for Marcus fucking Tudgay in the 60th minute just invites pressure lets be honest here. I've been one of Mowbray's biggest defenders but that's just an awful decision.

Parking the bus at 1-0 is negative shite which always leads to the opposition piling on pressure.

lack of match fitness perhaps?
I would have kept him on personally.

As soon as he did it you could see it coming. Nothing more annoying when a manager does that. And especially with 30 plus minutes to go.

need to have a rethink quick
need a good ball playing midfielder - a good winger, and somebody else to play up top
we need to put teams away or we will struggle badly

Somebody has questions to answer surely? We can't blame lack of strikers now.

Is it the formation? Is it the injuries?

What is it?
Click to expand...

I think the fact we have to put our team together in the third week of August is what it is.
Reid playing as a striker, Dan A and Turnball making their debuts McCann and Page only on their second game.
We also still have players to come
I think we will have a much better September.
We were holding Bradford till that penalty and they are a top side

I really dont think the formation is for him either. It relies on pace and interchanging.

Should be 2 or 3 up. 2 new players look good. At the risk of jynxing this I think we have the best defence in the league. Turnbull hasnt the ball ability of harries but looks a rock. Big strong powerful player. Ageyi is the league one versikn of lukaku. Looks brilliant.They cant get near him

Overall I don't think our team is good enough, there's too many boys, not enough men.

I don't blame the players particularly, it's either the budget isn't what we think it is, or Mowbray's not utilised what he's got well enough.

Im going for the latter personally.

Our budget was about 7th in the league last season and I think it will be less this season.

Good effort from the lads today, heading for a deserved victory before the red card but these things happen in football. Plenty more positives than negatives from todays performance.

Tudgay, Thomas and Lamerias you might as well forget about as footballers.

That leaves just Agyei as our only real goal threat. Reid and Jones are not strikers. We need another goalscorer.

Well we either need to change the personnel or the formation and that's down to the manager. How many times do we have to put up with managers shoving players into the team for the sake of it. Tudgay couldn't get into the team in front of MAF last season and now he's our first choice player to come on and hold a lead??

I think the fact we see George Thomas starting games is a bit confusing.

Might be worth getting MCBean in.

A big crowd like Bradford's can make a difference too, not only in the money they bring into the coffers but the atmosphere they can create to spur their team on. Maybe if a few more people got off their arses and to the Ricoh we wouldn't be so shit.

I guess TM may or may not have a verbal contract not to fuck Agyei up too soon and maybe he was under instruction to play him for around an hour in his 1st few games, my concern is what we had on the bench..absolutely NOTHING... just a pair of strikers that had just fired blanks and more than likely will continue to do that...had we had had a decent alternative on the bench that would have been brilliant

No, it was because we gave away a penalty and went down to 10 men. Before that a very encouraging display from the team.

Of course it is you numpty!

SISU agreed to the purchase of Turnbull and they must have known about his giving away penalties!!!

I haven't bothered to check the facts, but I bet he is world record holder penalty giverawayer!

Grrrr!!!
