Well it's moribund as a report but it's spot onQuote:

The tone of your report is indicative of the dismay I suspect many City fans are feeling right now. It must be getting more and more difficult for you to put any positive spin in your reports when confronted by the lame performances on the pitch. Still, your efforts are very much appreciated, thanks.
Don't shoot the messenger! TOBW reports on the games as he sees them and with accuracy too. We have become a team which has been totally sussed out by our opponents: and as has been discussed elsewhere the most worrying thing is out home ground has become a fortress (we cannot get any points / results from it) ! The rare aware win is masking what has become a horror season which started with such promise.
The ultimate question being asked is should we sack bulut to deal with thisQuote:

I'm most certainly not being critical of Bob's report. Just stating that it must get very difficult having to report on the dross that's put before him game after game. Probably a good idea for him to have a therapist on standby !Quote:

Early days though as you say.
It is hard because, as you hint at, the faults have been the same with the team for years - we’re pretty good defensively, hardworking but uninspired in a midfield that struggles to create anything, lacking an established Championship standard striker and we have wingers who don’t supply enough crosses or score enough goals. I’ve just had a read of my West Brom piece and it is pretty bleak stuff, but, I think about that post of Eric’s about us only having scored five goals in a game once in the last decade and the truth is that these days we don’t have five instances where I get excited at the possibility of a goal in a game. I only felt like once last night, not at all on Saturday, not at all against Leeds and not at all against Leicester - that’s our last three home games without the prospect of a single goal scored :facepalm:Quote:

That's a good way of putting it. We turn up but that's the limit of our participation. We've fluked a few wins but I can't think of any games where the opposition have taken any undeserved points off us.Quote:
