We did park the bus- just that they played straight through it. We have not gone after them and yet again there is no attacking threat.Quote:

I meant parking the bus like Preston did. It wasn't pretty but it was effective.Quote:

Just embarrassing.
one end to another...two city players around Dan James...run into each other.....what can be said....no way should the play have been stopped. we are lucky it has not been 7 or 8.Quote:

How did the ref not stop the game for the collision. It was a head injury. Stopped the game for them.
I haven't seen the game but how much of it is due to the players and how much the manager/coaching staff ? Is Bulut really the man to take the club forward ?
As others have said, even when there is a gulf in class as there is in some FA cup ties, the underdogs usually show spirit and go down fighting.
Absolute gulf in class of player here. Our players just do not think or anticipate things the way the Leeds players do. We’re a couple of years away from having a team of players of such quality.
Wish I had watched the Grimsby v Notts County game 5-5.
This game was just shocking.....no idea.....3-4 players are not going to fix our problems.
If it had not been for Alnwick this would have been hugely embarrassing...no Q he was MOM...
Bulut is to blame for such another negative side. 3 dogs in midfield and no creativity. Standing off them given them too much respect.
Siopis has become a liability. Can't pass and gets bullied off the ball too easily.
Wintle can only pass sideways or backwards.
We are in desperate need of players.
Only positive is once again Colwill looked decent. Not special but the only one who looked like doing something.
The only positive from that game was Rodon & Ampadu at CB in a back 4. Could it work for Wales?
Massive gulf,we need a influx of players with class.Quote:

We were woeful today. Possibly at our lowest ebb so far this season. We need quality recruitment fast.
Rinomhota did that all by himself, comical stuff.Quote:

but yeah its always a tough 1 when folks say the teams are miles apart... as someone said lower league and non league teams go on little runs in cup cometitions and so on
on the day its 11 v 11 you should at least be able to do something, or why are you competing at this level
it was bad, it was pretty bad, but ive walked out of a game gutted before now when we won 3-0 and played that poor, i like to see good football no matter what
i dread to think what those who knock up score numbers for the individual performances are going to make of it, aww well onto the next game
