We've seen all season that the 10 regardless of who it is has had to drop incredibly deep just to get a touch on the ball. That's fine when it's Aaron Ramsey because he's just better than everyone else on the pitch, it's not fine when it's Robinson or Colwill. The manager has to see that.Quote:

HAve they blocked VPN'S? I use NordVPN..paid for but good.Quote:

I would LOVE Colwill senior to crack on....but what is he now ? 21/22? He should be further ahead than he is.
Bowler for Ugbo
He doesn’t exactly grab the game by the scruff of the neck, does he? He’s there to be the fulcrum of the side, it’s looking increasingly more that he’s isn’t capable of the role unfortunately. Ugbo off, Bowler on.Quote:

A lot of criticism for Colwill here, but has Adams actually touched the ball?
Our passing accuracy in the final third was 43% against their 75% I think- suggests City don't know what they're doing with the ball.
Adams isnt the golden child though!!Quote:

Great work lads.
Bullying there from the taller Stroud.Quote:

I’m pretty sure there was a foul on one of our players before he then gave them the free kick. Unfortunately we’ve got what we deserved so far. No attacking threat, poor ball retention, etc., etc.
So we should accept a poor performance from some players? Our midfield are terrified of passing the ball forward, how is the number 10 meant to perform with that?Quote:

Game over.....
Think this could get ugly....4-0?
...I wrote that before their third.......ok 5 -0
This is embarrassing.
Absolutely shite. Embarrassing performance.
It's been embarrassing for some timeQuote:

Midfield and Attack is where we need replacements
WTF has gone wrong?
Goodnight Vienna. Back to wrapping presents here I think.
Siopis is a good player, but he needs someone next to him who will look to play forward otherwise the ball will keep coming back. Adams, Wintle, Rinomota are not that kind of playerQuote:

On paper we have some decent players....but they just do not perform.
Sorry to say Colwill anonymous...as is Grant and a few others.
This has been another inept performance so far.
Really, really poor.
And so ineffective going forward now.

We are playing with two dogs in midfield - one who can only pass ten yards; the other can't pass at all. Both are card magnets.Quote:

There are no leaders out there.
Maybe it's changed snce I was there circa 2012 (Chongching)..!Quote:
