Yep, anyone who went to the game for a Bank Holiday treat probably won't come back in a hurry.
Anyone thinking watching the City as being a treat needs treatment!Quote:

I've seen lots worse than that..
I’ve seen worse but seen MUCH better. No shape, no urgency, owed us one after the last home game and were almost as bad.Quote:

currently on the M4 with the missus driving. first game in a long time. that game reminded me of a meal made with old scraps from the fridge. dreadful, unappealing, random, fragmented. I am not a football coach but have seen enough games to know that what I witnessed today was grim and clueless. sorry but Morrison is not the man imho.
The squad is barely Championship standard. He's playing a lot of young players who really aren't as good as many believe, many at the end of contracts and knowing they'll be on the way, plus the loanees who'll be returning to their clubs. It's not ideal.Quote:

The team featured only one player who is out of contract at the end of the season - Vaulks.Quote:

Yeah coz the game before was outstanding too…..Quote:

I’m glad we don’t have the “thrill” of battling relegation.
Absolutely but it's still drabQuote:

I’d like to know what new things were tried today? Shooting, crossing, heading? Nope.
We have gotten away with it this season that’s for sure that we can have the luxury of these 5 games of freedom.Quote:

4 at the back.Quote:

Vaulks seemed to actually aim the corner at Phillips!Quote:

Where are you based, old fruit? I confess that I went walking on Dartmoor rather than use my ST today.Quote:

Didn't cause us much trouble at all apart from the goal.
We appear a work in progress and I for one am quite excited about next season - can't wait
Just watching the WBA forest game and two players one from each side got booked and gave away free kicks for similar tackles on Davies both of which we got nothing and the first of which led to the goal
He tried to keep Vaulks away from the long throw-ins until desperation took hold.Quote:

Nothing to play for, thank God it's not a relegation battle, it looked like it could have been not long ago!Quote:

Defence need sorting too. Hugill has done ok but not the answer. Come to think of it we need a new team.
To be fair, you didn't help with your constant moaning about the standard of minge this season!! it's after covid ffs give 'em a chance.Quote:
