Doncaster equalised against Gillingham. A smidgen of good news.

So today has been a write off it sounds like and our draw midweek has seriously cost us. Great!

 

[mechaishida]

Tudgay has won everything, use him

So he's played obviously better than MAF has?

 

[mark82]

We are not good enough to for automatics. That's pretty evident to me now.

Wonder if Burton said that after we beat them.

Not really as he plays wide right when he comes on.

Better version of MAF

That was September. We are now in the business end of the season where automatic promotion starts to be defined.

Exactly I'd wait and see what state the top 6 are in when the transfer window closes. For all we know TM has good signings lined up and / or the other contenders could lose players.

 

[dongonzalos]

TM will now definitely go after a new CB and CF.

14 shots 7 on target 55% possession. 2-0 defeat.

Our possession and shot stats are always like this

And some teams around us have 21 games left...

 

[TheParsonsHose]

Beaten by the better team today for sure.

We can still do this guys keep the faith.

 

[Gazolba]

We have more possession, twice as many shots and shots on target but we lose 0-2. Our defence is simply not good enough (especially GK). Midfield is very weak too.

If we're 6 points behind with 6 games left you'll have a point, but like I say there's 19 games left ffs.

Too right we can PUSB

Wigan are below us and there's still plenty of people saying they will get automatic promotion.

That's not the core of the issue, mate, the lack of depth and quality personnel is costing us points. When Lorentzson is finally fit, I'll be glad to see the back of Phillips.

We have a decent squad, but there's too many players injured or unfit.

 

[lifeskyblue]

We were poor. Burton had it easy and won at a canter. Not sure how good they are as we made it easy

You are quite right, we could have dropped out the play offs positions by then

 

[Nick]

Lesson in taking chances that was

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Really not good enough second half! Where was the energy. What a shocking mistake from Phillips needs time out the team! Murphy bad! Vincelot good fleck terrible

 

[mechaishida]

After full time, they're above us aren't they?

 

[Grendel]

We have more possession, more shots and more shots on target but we lose 0-2. Our defence is simply not good enough (especially GK). Midfield is very weak too.

We were outplayed in the second half.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

In defence we have a real problem at the back as Philips and Haynes not good enough. Last 15 shocking lack of application, belief and desire

 

[covmark]

No

Very disappointing week. 2 home games and only 1 point to show for it. Need to turn our form around quickly if we want automatic promotion.

Typical City get a big crowd and don't get anywhere near a win.

 

[Macca]

There's no way we are going up automatically, no way we are going to miss out on play offs. So I'll see you all at Wembley

 

[shmmeee]

Men against boys again.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Not really shmee. 0-0 without Phillips mistake and their keeper made a fabulous save

 

[chiefdave]

We've got to January before losing at home, we struggle to get out of August without losing most seasons!

We've lost to the team top of the league.

We're in a play off position and 6 points off an automatic position.

We have the leagues top scorer.

We are intending to make signings in the transfer window.

Yes its disappointing but looking at some of the comments on here and on twitter you'd think we'd just been relegated. We haven't got another game against a top 6 side until the end of March. Get a run of 3, 4 or more wins going and we'll be right back in it. The teams above us are going to drop points between now and the end of the season.

As did ours. And they hit the bar. We never looked like scoring. Poor all over.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It was the manner of the capitulation for me but fabulous season so far

 

[skybluetony176]

Disappointing day. Gifted them 2 goals and fair play to Burton they completely nullified our attack.
