Dreadful game

Re: Dreadful game

I was sorting some stuff out in the boot of my car in the car park post match when a husband and wife returned to the car next to me.
He says "not a bad match that luv" and she replies "no, I think that's the best I've seen us play in years".
Opinions eh! But we're all entitled to them even if their off the scale barmy.

Re: Dreadful game

I thought the game had its moments, exciting at times, but actual quality was hard to find.

Re: Dreadful game

Not dreadful. Just disappointing. And predictable. MM just can't adapt. I thought that Giles, Pack, Ralls, Collins and even Bacuna despite his misses played well. I actually think that with a decent manager this team could play a bit of football and do well. To me, MM is the weakest link. I'd sack him tomorrow.

You did so well until the last sentence :facepalm::yikes:

Re: Dreadful game

One thing really stood out for me - how uncomfortable we were with the ball at our feet. Virtually every time a defender or midfielder got the ball it was knocked forward without any thought. We could have had Kane, Grealish and Messi playing for us and they'd have spent the game chasing lost causes.

Re: Dreadful game

As soon as we spread the ball out wide we started to cause problems...... So we spotted doing it 🤷🏻

So many misplaced passes it was ridiculous

So you agree that MM is the weakest link. But you wouldn't sack him tomorrow?

Re: Dreadful game

No real playmaker in midfield hence the hoof and chase. Bacuna is simply not good enough at this level and McCarthey is showing poor judgement in playing him in that no.10 role. City will suffer if he persists in playing him. Send him out on loan. Mark Harris would have been a much better fit alongside Collins who looks very useful. Ryan Giles has made a good start.

We miss midfield out whoever we play there in my opinion mate. Chipped balls out wide, hoofed balls out wide etc etc so easy and predictable to read teams just amble back knowing full well what we're gonna do with the ball.

Re: Dreadful game

We should have signed a quality midfielder (or two) during the summer. There's still time.
Lots of people saying Ralls had a good game, but I thought he was anonymous. I like Pack for his effort and work rate, but for all his graft, he doesn't seem to make much difference.
Dare I say it? 4-4-2 looks a better option.

I wouldn't moan if we tried a 442

Re: Dreadful game

My missus 1st game was Jan 94, a truly dreadful 0-0 versus Barnet. It pissed down all game, NP was empty and it took me 20+ years to get her to go to another.

A game in the Championship with a 17,000. Dreadful, honestly, shows how standards have risen.

Send him on loan to who exactly? What other mug is going to pay him 27k a week?

I heard polar opposite views on the game within 10 yards of stepping into the car park afterwards.
