I was hoping to put the dog lead round the washing line pole out the back, guess I'll have to walk her now.

Interesting press conference this morning. Seems like Colwill will be in the squad. Doughty back training but can't kick a ball yet. Max Watters would have been in the squad but he turned his ankle in training so on crutches and in a boot (maybe not as bad as it sounds).
Major focus on the Watters debrief after Tuesday. If Morison's account is accurate, it was a good outcome to a controversial event (his explanation more than the sub decision).

I was happy with the way he explained it all after the game, read what was said in full in WOL in theat huge thread where people are losing their minds.
Saturday 5pm there will be something else to have a pop at SM over and people will be all over that.
Got the Web page open to listen to the interview once I've watched something else on TV. Apparently the nephew wants sweets as well so I may have to hold off on the video while I brave the shop run... seems there's something worth listening to as Ruben gets a mention. Cheers for the heads up.
Most people who were commentating straight after the game were probably basing their views on his sky sports interview not what wales online wrote following the post match press conference.

Or basing it on their preconceived opinions is the more likely :thumbup:
Having listened to it all he comes off well IMO, explains things again, even going back to ID to say nothing has changed in the way he speaks to him he just wasn't interviewed as u23 manager..
He's got his style, people don't have to like it granted, but he isn't changing and the players seem OK with it..not sure why the fans (on here at least) need to have such a huge problem with it, but each to their own I guess.
In case anyone is in doubt, this is from the club preview

For the first time in ages the pressure is off City.
Hopefully that will not be a bad thing against a workmanlike Blackpool.

Blackpool have lost Keogh in defence so perhaps we should rough them up.
Morison does seem to like big man, little man, so he may start Ikpeazu with Harris.

HT: Fulham 0 - 2 Huddersfield.
Be good to get a result today so we get a free hit at Huddersfield as they are doing well. We then play Fulham at CCS a week today.

None of the journalists asked about Bowen at the pre-match press conference. I would love a straight answer on that one.

pack is our only cover for a specialist defensive midfielder really

they asked a while back, I seem to recall, and Morison said he'd been out with a long injury, and he'd need to go back to the u23s and get back upto full speed first

For them I remember that Bowler no11 looking pacey and a bit of a handful when I've caught Blackpool the odd time this season
what is wrong with Ralls? I didn't read anything about an injury.

Maybe he's just being rested again? Vaulks did OK the other game so maybe SM is trying to use his squad, not heard about an injury.

Maybe we will see Ikpeazu today.
Dare I say it, a game for Colwill as well, midfield 3 not being as useful as other games could sacrifice one of them for some creativity.

No we've played badly, I demand a player is humiliated and then sacrificed to the crowd.
Is this the weather for Ikpeazu to stick the ball up his jumper and walk it into the net?

Maybe push Doyle up or bring on Harris and play him and Davies behind hugill closing the gap from the midfield..I dunno I dunno...

Stupid by Flint. No need to put his hand on him then he's going nowhere and Flint has made the miraculous recovery..
Vaulks looks well of the pace here. He just can't keep up with the players around him.

Vaulks :shrug:

King.
Probably Pack though but not enough energy.
Personally I'd swap Vaulks for Harris.
Vaulks :shrug:
He doesn't offer anything
Joe Gillis
19-02-22, 16:31

He's injured right now because he can't tackle.

Why is vaulks even on?

Lag in watching....he is on for Davies....

To rest Ralls.

I will admit that I was disappointed to see his name on the team sheet this morning.

Finally watching good football matches at CCS. Its taken a long time.
Fair result I suppose. Disappointing first half.
Not great again today, midfield poor but apart from their goal I thought the defence played well in general and Bagan in particular. Hugill also played well for me today and I'm impressed with Mark Harris coming on as sub.

Midfielder Midfielder Dummy striker Goalkeeper And Five ( at the back)
That'll do
Not a classic but a solid point, we'd have lost that a couple of months ago
I thought we just about shaded that, but a draw is a fair result.
good again to see when things aren't working out the coaches manage to find ways to get back into games.

He did a lot of mopping up today, he's nowhere near as bad as people on here make out 🤦*♂️
not expecting much from the next 2 games so would have been nice to have sneaked a win here

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say.
I do wish we would get on the front door first half. It’s like an exercise in energy conservation.

He isn't a Ralls. He wasn't awful today but I agree we need better.
I think he was used later on in the game pushed up on the left to help stop their RB getting on the ball so much a tactical decision that probably did him no favours with how he performed..
He needed to come off though and if he didn't have a replacement that's an error on the managers part..
