Re: Sabri's comments post Sunderland

If we accept the fact that sabri should really have had the job within a few weeks of the start of the season , that the club should have paid what was owed and that at least half of the 11 we put out on the pitch every game are not up to league 1 standard ...and mix in bizarre formations and substitutions like today and a lack of fight ....

Then it's no surprise we are a game away from being in the relegation zone

We have showed instances of real quality and fight since he took over but nowhere near enough

If we get relegated it would seem daft to look for someone else but .....

Would anyone object ?

He's getting barely better results than Hudson ff sake

Re: Sabri's comments post Sunderland

McGuinness is being exposed by playing on the left. In a two, he needs to be on the right, Kipre left, in a three switched with Kipre. I'd prefer a three of McGuinness-Kipre-Simpson but hey ho.

Davies isn't a wide player, lacks the crossing end product. He's probably best running off the last shoulder of a defender, which is difficult to do when you're a goal down, lumping the ball forward and the oppositions are dropping deep.

McGuiness is very good in several departments but he rarely marks players whilst pointing at others to do so.

Re: Sabri's comments post Sunderland

The lineup was horrific, Sawyers and Wintle as a midfield two in a 4-4-2? Laughable.

I can’t believe that anyone thinks that Wintle and Sawyers as a two is going to work. Our midfield is so pedestrian, we were simply being over run.

That said, taking off Philogene, our best player by a mile for the last few weeks was just bizarre. I assumed that he was injured.

If we slip into the relegation zone I wouldn't be surprised to see Tan pull the trigger.

Mehmet Dalman last 4 games.

Re: Sabri's comments post Sunderland

Philogene wasnt playing well but others were worse. I thought he must have been injured. Seems he wasnt and it was tactical.

The ONE player that we have (on loan!) who can create something and has been in good form scoring goals, and he gets taken off.

Just bizarre.

Re: Sabri's comments post Sunderland

We were shit before him, still shit now.

So far off teams even like Sunderland who were league 1 last season. They looked far more comfortable doing pretty much anything.

Taking off Philogene for anything but an injury in the form he's in is ridiculous. Our only player that offers something different and unpredictable going forward.

You can't make a decent chicken curry with tinned corned beef

The playing staff , in general , are sub standard

Having said that he should be getting more out of them so it's a five out of ten for me

Re: Sabri's comments post Sunderland

Some of the attempted balls into the box from him today were less than great.

I take the points noted but he can actually cross.

He can at times yes. He wasn't great today.

City haven't been great all season, as a team were very poor today.

Davies was part of that. I'm assuming Lamouchi doesn't rate him or doesn't see him as fitting his playing system?

Re: Sabri's comments post Sunderland

After just over half an hour of a home match, we took off two players who are more effective in attack than defence to bring on a midfielder who’s scored three league goals in a fairly long career and a centreback - only at Cardiff City.

Not having a go but do you think it was working?

If not, how would you have changed it?

Not many managers seem to rate that many of our younger players.

It can't be the manager every time surely.

And we were better after it.

Not hard, but point still stands.

That’s what we’ve become - we were crap before the change, but, fair play, we were slightly less crap after it.
