we are chasing shadows in midfield
Oh no
rinsed....
Has to stay on his feet there
Not too good to go down right now without signings in January. This is as bad as anything under McCarthy.
The meeting on Monday worked didn’t it.
Great challenge by Bowler !!! Just stood there and let him go..
Goutas made the striker's mind up for him diving in like that
Really poor again today so far.
We just can’t get the ball (against Sheffield Wednesday!) and when we do, we can’t keep it for more than 3 seconds.
For Fcuk Sake!!!
We really have some players that don’t offer anything.
Robinson is not an attacking midfielder.
Grant and Bowler are very ineffective.
We just cannot hold the ball in midfield.
So slow... we had numbers there and we passed it backwards three times, absolutely shocking.
Boweler has a clear wing ahead of him...what does he do...pass back......unbelievable.
Sorry but nothing compares to that WBA gameQuote:

Everything’s hurried and clumsy and Ng hitting the first man from that free kick was unforgivable.
6 shots and 4 corners in that one... 2 so far in this shocker, one was the McGuinness "volley" from 40 yards that left the stadium... I'm genuinely not sure what the other one was? I'm pretty sure the 2021 WBA team would have 4 already in this one.Quote:

What is Robinson for?
Not a single shot on target. We are awful.
How old is Cadamaterie? 17? 18? full of running ...nothing like our youngsters (except Tasner when in form)
Listening on the radio, we seem clueless
Shite so far.
Steve Cooper is coming

That bench is so uninspiring, why not have Evans, J.Colwill or Ashford on there in place of Rinomhota or Sawyers?
Be glad you aren't watching. Clueless is kind, it's almost impossible for a team of professionals at this level to look so poor going forward.Quote:

I really don't understand why one or two of the promising youngsters are not on the bench at least....they cannot do any worse than what is being served up these days. I mean this is not Leeds/Leicester/Southampton...it is Sheffield Wednesday..>!Quote:

When do you think ollie will decide to get back on it? Maybe today, if he's ready....Quote:

Really, really poor.
As an attacking force I've rarely seen us look so impotent as I have over the last few weeks.
Defensively we lack sharpness.
When we press we don't press as a team with some players pressing space.. Only robinson seems to press his man.
So disjointed. We look relegation candidates at the moment.
Absolutely dire.
Not creativity going forward. We look clueless. Not sure what Robinson offers.
Agreed.. So poor in attack.Quote:

Ridiculously bad.

Bulut talked as if we had some sort of reset this week, well, there’s no sign of any change so far and unless the second half brings an improvement, we’re definitely one of the three worst teams in the Championship currently.
At this rate we will need to buy players in January to avoid relegation, let alone playoffs.
Have to agree with that...it is dreadful to watch.....how can I get my boys to follow them when they play like this....?Quote:

We seem like the Championship equivalent to Man United.
What a dreadful end to 2023 after so much promise early season.
Take a draw! LOL
That we cannot compete against a side containing Wil Vaulks and Patto speaks volumes about Citys dismal managerial and player recruitment over the last several years.Quote:
