He's been bloody awful and you can't defend him, just because he scored a goal today. You wouldn't have said that last week.

However as he has scored today, I'll be prepared to let him off if he continues this for the rest of the season.

His goal has prompted me to comment, I'll admit that. But you are way overboard with your criticism. I'm sure he'll be delighted you are going to let him off.

Slow start but I'll take a one goal lead over a decent performance.

Murphy much better when central and is wasted on either wing.

Rose, Cargill and Stephens definately offering us something that we've missed of late.

Shame for Lorentzen as looked decent at RB, just hope the introduction of Ramage doesn't unsettle us.

Always said Murphy should be played up the middle, but i was shot down in flames!!!

Height.

 

[sw88]

Is it a bit of physicality?

That and height. Some last ditch challenges, winning headers, not afraid to get stuck in.

So far so good

10 goals and top of the assists. Yep that 19 year old is shite. Sounds like some of the pricks that sit near me!!

I've always said that too so I'd back your view

Whenever he's played central, more so as a number 10 rather than main man up top he's turned up and looked decent.

Yes he has pace to burn which should suit the wing but he's so calm in front of goal he deserves to play down the middle

Keepers must hate how good he is in 1v1's

 

[Nick]

I think we all agreed a 1-0 scrappy win would do us today, lets hope we don't let it slip

Agree with that, a very uncomfortable 45 minutes when they throw everything at us without keeper trying to nutmeg their striker or something!

 

[Nick]

Has Rose done much? What sort of player has he been so far? Box to box?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Hopefully this will be the kickstart Murphy needs, the criticism of him was warranted. It's been like playing with 10 men for the last month and hopefully this can be the turning point for him to regain his form.

Sounds like we've been poor so we've got to capitalise on being let off in the first half.

I'm glad Murph has got the goal to shut his doubters up. Had a terrible couple of games but so has everybody else, 10 goals from midfield is great and if he played consistently at his best then he'd never be in our team he'd be in Norwich's

 

[dongonzalos]

Kieran Crowley - vale dominated but city defended well and rcc good game so far 0-1

Its normally the other way round
Nice for us to do it to someone else

 

[dongonzalos]

Who has been saying Murohy is shit?
Quite bizzare

He hasn't been the only one criticised and rightly so. But he deserved his share on recent performances.

 

[Otis]

Murphy is a confidence player. It has been that he is out of form. It really is that simple.

Despite the 'told you so's' on here, I haven't seen anyone say that he's shit.

Intermittently apathetic would be more accurate.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Cook with another save

A share of balanced criticism would be fair enough.

Some of the comments on here have been ridiculous.

 

[sw88]

RCC with a great low save

 

[Gazolba]

One thing you can guarantee on here is that for anyone who gets criticised there will be people waiting in the wings to unleash their fury when that person does one good thing. Just wait till Ramage scores ...

 

[coop]

We are hanging on here there all over us

 

[covads83]

Sounds like RCC is having an absolute blinder. Keeping us in this.

Another save from Cook

A worldie according to CWR

 

[coop]

Cook keeping us in it

 

[covads83]

The lads are nervous. Needing this win. If we can come away with three points today, our next match will be a walkover.

Another good save by the sound of it?

Radio getting very excited about it.

A confidence players, especially young ones, tend to play better with encouragement. The amount of abuse he gets at the Ricoh when he's not on form clearly doesn't help

 

[sw88]

Free kick for them deflects off the wall, RCC moved the wrong way and somehow revivers to palm it away

If DeGea made a save like that SSN would be all over it!

Class save

 

[Johnnythespider]

Come on city stay strong

Indeed it is; he would be an excellent signing in the summer!!

 

[Nick]

Missed a sitter from them.

When will he be making a change?

I thought we were supposed to drop him.

 

[covhead1]

Wow that sounded like the mother of all saves.

RCC FOR ENGLAND

A worldie, breathtaking and speechless are just three of the words used to describe it on CWR
