Pack

[Bobby Dandruff]

We all want the City to win every game, we get frustrated when they don't, although ive never been critical of the team when they have given everything
Everyone one of us has an opinion on the team, the set up and the style of Football we play.
The style and the manner in which we lost at Coventry is bound to attract criticism of the manager and the players, if from that defeat and the poor return of results prior to that, it has forced a change in style and set up then happy days, it's a win win situation.
Today for me that was our best performance of the season, we took the game to Watford who were a top 3 side and best them, in fact we could have had two penalties awarded, I've seen them given for less and beat them convincingly
More importantly you look at the changes that have helped those results to happen and pointing out the glaringly obvious differences that Pack wasn't starting isn't a negative it's a fact.
If we had a RB then the two competing for the midfield would be 2 of three withdrawals Vaulks and Bacuna, I doubt Pack would get a look in
We look better without him, we move the ball forward without him and we move the ball quicker without him
Results dont lie, bringing him on for 10-15 minutes to close the game down, I understand
Starting him has cost us in my view and rather than persisting with him, when results were poor the manager should have identified the problem and acted on it
He know has and the results have improved dramatically

Well said. A balanced response to the actual subject of the thread.

I don't think he is a very good manager and I'd like him replaced... This I'd about Pack tho

By who? Harris was the cheap option last year and given the pandemic we aren't in a better position to spend money on a better manager.

I don't know how you can look at the job he's done over the last 12 months and say he isn't a good manager or that he should be replaced.

How dare fans show a little bit of support to a manager who hit us to the play offs against all the odds last season.

Blimey, you need some help with IT as well, because somehow your threads are getting all mixed up - this thread is a good one about Pack but SOMEHOW you have got a post from an entirely different thread and certainly not from today, all mixed up in here.

Lockdown seems to be affecting you and / or your computer in some weird ways.

Start a thread on the pros and cons of Harris and I may take a look. This has been derailed tho and plenty of managers out of work better but this is about.... Pack

I posted the quote because it's funny showcasing how little you know about football. Clueless

You REALLY do need to get out more.

Nothing wrong with what you've posted, it's hugely relevant.

Absolutely!

It appears that some seem to think there's some kind of unwritten rule that says you cannot make any analysis that might be deemed critical if the team have won the game, or at least you shouldn't until a good few hours after the match has ended?

Pack was sloppy on a couple of occasions when he came on, one poor first touch taking us from an attacking position to having to desperately defend. We've looked better without him (the OP's point), we have more energy in midfield and move the ball with quicker movement. Pack slows everything down and it works against us. I understand the idea of trying to see a game out when you're holding on to a narrow lead, but that has to be with controlled possession.

I just think it’s a little sad that it was posted less than 10 minutes after the final whistle. Bit joyless.
