That is pathetic defending
Simms looked good when he came on, and think we suffered first half due to Allen and Ayari being too lightweight in the middle. Lati was getting overrun on his side for the first half, and it was an easy out ball to their left. Second half we improved massively with the tweak in formation and personnel,and hopefully we will have learned something from that.
He's not a right winger, though, to be fair

Finally home. Can only imagine the nervousness Robins was on about is mainly from Haji Wright. I don’t recall seeing a striker being so big yet timid. He’s missing so much from his game besides that. Appreciate he was in the right place twice to score, but his anticipation and awareness is poor. His strength non existent.
A caller said he may even need an opponent to force some aggression out of him. I sort of agree with that idea.
Simms did alright when he came on, Eccles too. Allen well off his game. Personally don’t see how MVE is any better than BNC, would also like to see Bidwell ahead of JDS. Fadz on his way out of regular starts too.

If he does we need to buy more strikers in Jan!
He doesn't actually tug his shirt ..he falls over behind their forward and brushes his shirt (not even his body, just his shirt) the guy carries on, shanks his shot, falls over (due to opening his body out to shoot far corner at such pace) doesn't appeal, then Taylor gives the pen when the ball is in the stand!
This is the problem;
For all of the positives in the second half, this sums us up.
Playing well, on top - soft shit goal out of nothing.
You could say that in most of our defeats this season....
The problem I can see with it is that rather than just going to ground, he puts his arms out, all but trying to bring the player to the ground.
Definite pen.
So my 10 pence worth on today. Firstly City fans were great all afternoon and got behind the team.
The first half was utterly dire . Preston were terrible , Cov even worse.
I was very surprised when Robins totally changed formation and suddenly there was a lot more intensity and promise ( there had to be at 3-1 down ). Bidwell was many leagues above JDS and Simms started looking a player. COH obviously still lacks fitness and MVE looked totally lost when he came on. Wilson was nervous as hell and sorry to say it but Fadz looks pretty much done Very surprised Tats didn't get any game time.
Fixtures get harder soon , things only looked better today when we were chasing the game.

This is the penalty , that's not a penalty that's disgraceful , the first time I've seen it .. sent it to a mate who supports Liverpool, he can't understand what the penalty is for
The issue is he let him play on and shoot which is against the laws
We were shit anyway that half
