I would back us to double Luton this season but we're getting doubled by FGR. Nobody else in the top 10 will drop 6 points to this village club.

Nobody else will play 2 defensive midfielders against them when trailing either.

Did McNulty just walk up and put his boot in the shin of their keeper?!

The Luton game is a 6 pointer so we could take 9 from them this season

Gonna be doom and gloom on here if it stays like this

 

[Nick]

Are we planning on giving JCH a touch? Not one where we hammer it in the air to him or expect him to take 10 players on and score.

 

[larry_david]

Wycombe now losing. Come on citycffsc

 

[Nick]

Are any of their players going to get a booking for time wasting at any point?

 

[stupot07]

This really isnt good enough. Still time to turn this around but we've dropped too many points against the bottom sides this season. And continue to struggle away from home.

Out of the top 7, 8th as it stands.

 

[mark82]

We are outside the playoffs and teams above us have games in hand. We need to be promoted this year, no excuses.

 

[Nick]

We have absolutely fuck all going forward, as before it isn't the strikers. It's the fact our midfield are sat on the defenders toes.

Is Bayliss even still playing? Is Barrett? Is McNulty?

Feel sorry for those who've made the trip if he's doing that. Does he not sit down and analyse these games? Has he spotted the pattern of creating naff all away?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

So far one of them days. Come on City !

 

[sw88]

JCH tried from s Direct free kick

Goes wide

Hopeful, one of those where somebody has to do something all their self. He is going to be on corners and throw ins next.

That suggests bad luck rather than just shite.

FA cup thrill took its toll on fitness maybe? I cant see the game so no idea.

We had too many of them days.

Nope, just wrong system again. Created absolutely nothing all game.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

We just have to get out of this league at any cost

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Where is Bayliss playing ?

 

[sw88]

We concede possession poorly Stokes has to get across to cover as the last man, slides to clear the ball but leaves his lower leg behind him

Received treatment

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Come on - a Ryan Haynes screamer please (actually anyone please)

 

[mark82]

Yep, this isn't the way to do that.

 

[covcity4life]

There goes stokes

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Ouch good tracking back by stokes but could cost us.

We won't playing 2 defensive midfielders when losing against teams at the bottom of the league. It seems to be obvious to everybody.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Where is Bayliss playing ?

Forest Green

Apart from Accrington away or maybe Mansfield at home, we haven't been beaten by a better team this season. Individual howlers or tactical deficiency. Can accept the former at this level, but the tactics has been glaringly wrong for most of the season.

But even when he starts to get it right, he changes it to the one that was wrong at the start of the season. It's baffling.

 

[wingy]

Dion would have been handy on the bench today as a utility player.
Surprised Beavon was Tbf.

Trying to accommodate Kelly and Doyle when it has been obvious we have been more creative with Bayliss there.

Yep, so frustrating. Starting to think Robins isn't the right man to bring promotion.

 

[chiefdave]

Robins has got this completely wrong today.

Ref gave us a lifeline with that pen but even that hasn’t got them going.

Will be very lucky if we can get a point out of this.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

In the great scheme of things it annoys me that all recent good work can be undone by an away day like this.
