    We don't play well with the ball. They let us have the ball.

    They knew how do deal with our hoofing of the ball into the box. We need a plan 'B' when going forward. We haven't got one! We'll be fecked if Keif goes to Wolves, or anyone else come to that.

    No sign of him after Blackpool. Any negative threads hes prolific.
    You can believe what you want.

    I'm just not a City fan that gets served $hit and says it smells of roses.

    That was bad today.

    I ask you, if you view that game today and somehow manage to convince yourself that it was good then are you a City fan?

    As for negative threads it is a match thread.
    It is negative because the way City played makes it as such.

    Put a positive spin on it if you don't like it then. What was good about that game and performance?

    We have dropped 5 points against 15th placed Barnsley and 17th placed Bristol City (prior to their 3 points here). These teams coming and taking points off us at home are the average teams and lower mid table. If we keep losing to teams like that today then we'll be lower mid table or worse very quickly.

    You were happy with that were you?
    Ignore him. Some fans can't take criticism of lord McCarthy and his hoof ball football.

    That wasn't great today and we scored because of a big slice of fortune. We could have played until midnight and not scored from open play.

    If I was to pick any positives at all I would struggle genuinely. That starting 11 was average to bad from front to back, not forgetting playing some on their wrong side. Biggest positive was probably Colwill coming on and looking like he wanted to actually be there and do something.
    Colwill coming on embarrasses the skill of some of our players, he looks composed and has time on the ball, even creates time under pressure by shielding the ball or erm..contorting his body to twist and turn our of trouble. Established players should be more comfortable on the ball, they don't have to be Messi good to do the basics well.

    The constant head tennis really grates on me. Our players are not confident they can bring the ball down so just ping it off their heads, usually gifting it back to the opposition. We're not bad at defensive and offensive headers but the ones pinballing around midfield are a waste of time and possession.

    He seems to be very right-footed though, so I don't know why we stuck him out wide on the left.

    He is a breath of fresh air in that he doesn't seem to brick it every time he gets the ball.

    Ralls and Bacuna can't get rid of it quickly enough, get caught in possession time and again. Pack probably the best of a bad bunch in the middle but he is slower than time.

    You will notice a pattern with most of the people here who knock my negativity.

    They virtually always personally have a pop at me or my tone but hardly ever comment on the game or the point I've made.

    I agree with you. Often they head it back when they're under no real pressure and the ball is not coming towards them with any real pace.
    They can not chest a ball and bring it down, unbelievable really.

    What personal pop?

    Are you denying youve probably already jumped on todays defeat more than the Blackpool win?

    Moving Nelson to full-back when we were chasing the game in the last 15 minutes killed our play down the right.

    Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 BRISTOL CITY

    Just got back.

    Good game, very entertaining.

    Bacuna poor, anonymous 1st half, barely better 2nd half.

    Giles way off his best and why oh why is our best crosser with his left foot playing on the right? Several times he beat his man and had to cut back inside.

    Sang had a good game, I can see why people think he could do a job in midfield, the lad's a footballer. Bagan had his best game for us as well in my opinion.

    Colwill's got something about him, look forward to see how he develops.

    It's going to be this kind of season I think, we'll win some and lose some. Won't go down and won't go up. If it's that but with the youngsters getting some game time and developing, I personally don't mind, especially if they're enjoyable games of football like today

    I don't think you would have found it that enjoyable if you watched it on TV. I found it very frustrating. If you look at the match stats, we had 63% possession, 407 v 256 passes with 72% pass accuracy and we did approximately ****-all. Very disappointing.

    I thought Brizzle defended well against our 'giants' so that buggered that. Playing alongside Ralls seems to have brought down Pack to the same level, I seem to remember him having a modicum of control. I think McCarthy's love affair with Bacuna is holding us back. With Giles and Colwill in the side I think we would be able to 'create' a little more.

    About right. We are a mid table outfit. Should have won. Didnt. Thats it. We will win some lose some. We are an average mid table side. Positives we are trying to bring through young players.

    The only thing that surprises me is that the same dissatisfaction with our 'style' of play is expressed on this board after every game.

    I've said repeatedly that MM only knows one way of playing and for as long as he's here, we'd better get used to it. No skill, no frills, just a workmanlike team that's generally not easy to beat at this level.

    His job is to get as many points as possible by hook or by crook because that's how he will be judged by the men upstairs.

    Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 BRISTOL CITY

    I thought our goal was nicely created even if we did get our share of the luck Wurzels got with their first to help it across the line.

    Sang, Bagan and Colwill having good minutes was a positive on a day where positively has to be actively looked for. Collins did well in his cameo and Moore had some really nice touches...

    Maybe the worst thing for us being when we equalised. If Bagan's good headed in first half had gone in then totally different game, if the OG hadn't happened when it did Collins and Colwill would have come on much earlier and maybe without Nelson going to RB.

    You can imagine MM saying, "Ee lad if you want entertainment you should go t'circus".

    Well it is usually aimed at me rather than taking issue with anything I've actually said is what I mean.

    I might have posted more on it for the simple reason I actually watched the game live. Most City fans who didn't go to Blackpool could.

    I know Ralls works hard etc but I'd sub him out and keep Bacuna in there and give someone else a run in the team, preferably someone with a bit of composure.
