So frustrating.

Dominated the last 4 games and got 4 points to show for it.

Lack of goals from everyone other than Gyokeres and Godden is killing us

No use playing lovely football if we can never score. Same every game. Slowly drifting back down towards 16th

Shit half of football that.

Not beating Reading on Saturday would be unacceptable.

Well as we're seemingly capped to one goal a game and insist on giving away comical goals that seems unlikely

Haven't we still only scored in both halves once all season in the league? Shocking stat

We needed an attacking midfielder. We sent out 7 players and brought in a left back. Pissing it up a wall and will be firmly bottom half come the end of the season.

Poor second half. Few looking leggy from Saturday. Sheaf and Hamer in particular.

The fact is we compete, and very often, outplay our opponents in games. Southampton included.

Our inability to put the ball in the net means no matter how well we play, we keep losing points.

Don't you think that is frustrating?

We need goals from midfield , can’t rely on big Vik or Godden scoring 1 or 2 every game. Simple really, if only we had some sort of window where we are able to bring in a player from another club?? Such a shame

There's no bottling going on, they just aren't going to invest heavily in the team. Why would they change now?

Our weak attacking midfield options will hold us back for the rest of the season. They simply aren't good enough. Need to play two up front. If we don't we won't score more than one goal in any game.

Worst standard Championship there has ever been and we’re going to blow it. I’m not like the vast majority of city fans, I can’t settle for mid-table given our start and how bad this league is.

Not really. One of the goals against Peterborough was an own goal and the other was after the 45

Well we'll get a poor return from the final run in and a middling return from this one. 15 more points more or less matches the form we've been on since October.

So disappointing

The goal we conceded was a joke. I thought Hyam should have defended better, but there were 2 or 3 other defenders who could have kicked the ball away, but fell over trying to defend. Comedy of errors. We always seem to look so dangerous, but cannot find the final touch which is so frustrating.

4 on target missing godden
Click to expand...
Is godden going to take everyone else's shots?

Hamer had 7 with just 1 on target
Clarke-Salter 2 none on target
O'hare 1 none on target
Maatsen 1 none on target
Shipley 3 none on target
Gyokeres 4 shots 1 on target 1 goal.
Rose 2 shots 2 on target

Its easy to say get Godden back, but all bar 4 shots were from midfielders and defenders. And Godden has been the main striker for most of our bad run of form despite scoring goals. We can all see where we are lacking goals - our attacking midfield.

It Is frustrating but that’s progress on last season and we are making progress season after season. We just need to stick with the team and keep playing well. You are far more likely to score and win games having more possession and making more chances over time

Jake Bidwell is fucking dross.
Why doesn’t Robin’s give Tavares 10 minutes?
Why does Robin’s watch Shipley give an unbelievable performance from full back then insist on playing him in midfield?
What is the point of O’Hare?

So many questions

Willing to wager we don't exceed last season's points total which objectively isn't progress and I doubt many would've predicted at the October break.

We have been on approximately a point a game since October. Willing to stick my neck out on it not changing and if anything with this many games in a short space of time it may even be a bit worse.
