Our fanbase doesn’t deserve to go up. Pathetic

Cally Fedora · 2026-02-07T15:50:00+0000

How long can we stick with Dasilva.

fernandopartridge · 2026-02-07T15:50:02+0000

It's probably a game better suited to Rudoni than Torp with them sat in, needs a player able to play in tight spaces

Paul Anthony · 2026-02-07T15:50:03+0000

Pretty drab half. Everything's so slow and ponderous.

craigus12 · 2026-02-07T15:50:08+0000

So pedestrian and laboured.

Wyken Sky Blue · 2026-02-07T15:50:10+0000

Just looks so flat, dull and boring

I thought it was a decent first half. We're by far the better team, and had a few near misses. Better than the last couple of games, at least.

steve101 · 2026-02-07T15:50:40+0000

Pretty comfortable but need a bit more quality in the final third. Thought Eccles and Sakamoto were probably our best players.

Brighton Sky Blue · 2026-02-07T15:50:57+0000

Even my apparently pessimistic 'next 5' predictions had us winning this one. Don't look like it on that showing.

mark82 · 2026-02-07T15:51:09+0000

Should be out of sight really. We're just not clinical enough in front of goal anymore.

stupot07 · 2026-02-07T15:51:09+0000

Not sure what to think, played ok, started brightly, they seem happy for us to have the ball, but we look void of ideas at times. Esse is a fabulous player but has offered nothing on the left side and keeps drifting out to the right and then we have no width out left. We've been opened up a few times, but they are pretty poor. You can see why they are second bottom.

AFCCOVENTRY · 2026-02-07T15:51:11+0000

Rubbish first half.

You’re playing 2nd from bottom at home and have no energy or guile to take them to the sword.

We look scared and slow with everything we’re doing.

Get Onyeka and Rudoni on for Eccles and Torp. Get Esse off for Yang. Esse really worries me as a starter.

fatso · 2026-02-07T15:51:14+0000

For all our possession we have fuck all in the final third.
We are way too slow and laboured in our build up.

Come on Lampard . Time to try something different

Bring Onyeka, Rudoni, Yang/Simms on. Take off Eccles, Torp and Esse who’ve sucked.

This. We need to bring back the intensity we had in the first 10 mins though.

Osullivan18 · 2026-02-07T15:51:19+0000

This is a better performance than the last two games, Oxford are poor though. I understand the frustration when we can move forward and they pass back though. Also lucky to not be 1-0 down

PVA · 2026-02-07T15:51:54+0000

A decent start, but otherwise just so slow in possession. Total contrast to how we were playing at the start of the season when we moved the ball so much quicker.

Hopefully Onyeka can inject some energy and I'd be getting Rudoni on pretty soon.

Thought that earlier. More time for him. Just has to stay central.

Potentially him and Frank for Eccles and torp

Otis · 2026-02-07T15:52:09+0000

Fell short unfortunately.

Out general play is okay, but too slow at times and the bottom line is, the keeper has had just one shot to save. The early effort from Wright.

Torp was in a great position on the edge of the penalty area for a chance, but inexplicably he put it wide, when it seemed to be easier to hit the target

Worry that Esse is too lightweight at times. Think we would have had much more joy with EMC in the side

Need to step it up in the second half.

I'm not sure about that. If we'd gone in 2 or 3 up I'm not sure you could say we didn't deserve it. Nowhere near our best, but we're by far the better team.

shmmeee · 2026-02-07T15:52:15+0000

Get Rudi and Yang on, don’t need Frank here winning the ball is no issue but need more discipline on the wings than Esse is giving and more goal threat in the midfield. Just all a bit flat and deliberate.

Eccles? You got to be kidding me.

One maybe. We’ve only had three shots on target.

We're definitely missing EMC.

Matt Murray on Talk Sport doing his usual permanently overly happy exaggerated co-commentary saying City have been 'really good'

They’re sticking 10 men behind the ball. It will take patience and/or a bit of magic.

But 2 off target where we probably should've done better (Grimes & Torp).

Eccles has had a very good first 45 I would say. In what way has he sucked?

Shocked at that.

RoysterE17 · 2026-02-07T15:54:27+0000

It hasn't been awful we just need to move it quicker and make sure we are keeping some width

Amazed how naive he is considering he’s been training in the PL for a year.

mark82 · 2026-02-07T15:55:06+0000

It could be a game for 4-4-2, with Simms & Haji up top. Could always move Haji out to the left once we're up if needed.

SBAndy · 2026-02-07T15:56:56+0000

Don’t think it’s been that bad. Bit slow, but that’s the antidote to the gung ho football we’ve been playing. Fully in control and we’ll win.

Agree. They are happy to sit back and let us fuck about in their half

Yep energy
Starts at the back
Two touches
Get the ball forward with purpose and let Torp saka wright and Esse do the clever stuff
Winding me up how slow wolf is with the ball
I know we’re trying to be patient
Started well but then lost the energy
