Anyone watched them ? They illustrate just how awful in footballing terms this City squad is. Bags of effort & commitment to put 'runs' together, but however much you coach, instruct, motivate, they just don't have enough footballing ability to play fast, flowing football, break down defences, etc.

So why Barnsley ? Because they have a squad of players that is arguably - on paper- far below City's. Yet the manager has got them playing exciting, fast flowing football, where the ball is played quickly in a forward direction. It's non-stop, and whilst they don't have any particularly extravagant footballers, they are great to watch and getting results.

Sadly however, their players are light years better that ours. Ralls, Bacuna, Pack, Vaulks, Nelson, Flint, Brown. There's 7 of our 10 outfield players who have never learnt how to receive and quickly pass a ball to a teammate. Some clubs may get by with 1 in their side, we started yesterday with 7.

MM has achieved no more - actually less - that Neil Harris. In playing terms, we're in a absolute mess..
