Some embarrassing individual performances tonight. Nowhere near good enough.
Thoughg his throwing was good and most of his kicking. Messed one up 2nd half but in the main was comfortable with the ball at his feet which is clearly what BBM wants.Quote:

Salech had absolutely no service.Quote:

I would agree they looked fitter and better organised than us. They defended their box superbly the entire game, maybe just ran out of steam in the last 10 minsQuote:

My cousins husband is a ST holder at FC Copenhagen for some years. He told me that Trott was dropped to the bench, for FCC, after some poor form, and said hope we have better luck with him.Quote:

Agreed. We just look a league 1 version of last season's team.Quote:

Looking at the offside goal Lawlor stops I think he clears it off the line.
Yeah give it to November and they won't be saying it.Quote:

Weren't we really good against Peterborough though? i didn't see that game, but the stuff on here was positive.
But they didn’t.Quote:

Well said, the number of times we had a pass ahead of us, took three seconds over it then made the same pass or went sideways or backwards... absolutely mind numbing. That and the fact that both wingers can't get a cross within 5 yards of the closest City player. Really worrying, how many years did we extend Tanner to do his customary three great things a season and barely look like he can kick a ball straight the rest of it? Willock might as well not be on the pitch.Quote:

Very poor tonight, but it’s our second game. Away against a side that were right up for it. Final ball was just massively lacking. I don’t think Chambers should have come straight in, nor should he be CB. I think Fish should start, maybe alongside Daaland. Needs physicality in this league, look at how they treated Salech.
We were good on Saturday and I think we will be again. Take a point and move on.
I don’t think anyone deserved more than a 6 today and I’d give the others 4/5.
A lacklustre performance coupled with some serious poor quality.
Easy to pick Tanner out because he had a lot of the ball, but yet again had one of his games that wasn’t even conference standard.
Willock could have been off the pitch and had more of an impact.
Bagan was lucky not to get sent off.
Chambers doesn’t even stand out in league one.
A point and hopefully a wake up call. Would like to see J Colwill have a seat on the bench next game
We didn't look like scoring throughout the whole 90 minutes against a side that was league 2 last season. They were better than us in every department. Are Port Vale on of the better teams in league 1 ? Because if they're just bang average we're in for a 46 game struggle.Quote:

(Just an honest opinion! Hopefully I am wrong and he smashes it)
