[sw88]

McDonald conceding some poor fouls

Ths one is in a dangerous position especially when Brunt is on the pitch

[sw88]

obrien saves his (Brunt’s) effort

 

[scottccfc]

How many city have gone over?

 

[sw88]

McDonald earns himself a nose bleed defending a corner that O’Brien punched. Wonder if it was intentional?

 

[fatso]

Should be abandoned then by half time.

Exactly

 

[Pete in Portugal]

I wish BBC's Geoff Forrester would stop calling Allesani "Alesanti".

 

[sw88]

3-0

Nick was right to be concerned about our CB partnership.

That was awful defending before Robson-Kanu took it easily round O’Brien to net

I wish you would stop calling him Geoff Forrester....twat will do

 

[sw88]

McDonald at fault in the first instance but Hyam made good distance to cover him but then was equally as poor in defending

 

[Nick]

3-0

Nick was right to be concerned about our CB partnership.

That was awful defending before Robson-Kanu took it easily round O’Brien to net

And the midfield... Both of them

Not too sure at all what the aim is, sounds just as awful and aimless as before

 

[sw88]

Maybe this is a ploy by Robins playing O’Brien and McDonald - concede goals make out they’re crap and give him an excuse to drop them for Saturday

 

[fatso]

Well at least Robins will know who are 2 centre backs will be next week.

 

[sw88]

JCH played in On goal, puts it wide

 

[lord_garrincha]

Last league game Hyam & Rod played together... Yeovil @ home.

Hyam needs Willis or Davies.

 

[Pete in Portugal]

And the midfield... Both of them

Not too sure at all what the aim is, sounds just as awful and aimless as before

Both of them? Is Doyle schizophrenic then?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Terrible

 

[sw88]

4-0

McDonald static letting Robson-Kanu to grab another

 

[east_midlands_skyblue]

I know (pray) this wont be the team on Saturday. 4-0... the core is so weak.

 

[BigadamL]

Sat in the home end and even they are saying ROD is having a nightmare

 

[sw88]

It’s getting silly now!

Everything down their left is getting past us too easy, and the right isn’t much better either

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Terrible

Which bit?

 

[sw88]

Sat in the home end and even they are saying ROD is having a nightmare

He is! We’re gonna struggle to offload him at this rate!

Perhaps Ricketts can do us another favour, out of sympathy of course?

Yip, that's true. Hopefully Willis will be fit enough to play against Scunthorpe next week and Davies will be available after that game.

 

[east_midlands_skyblue]

Brother in law / wife are living this... both Baggies. Might not go home tonight... anyone got a spare bed?!

 

[PVA]

4 or 5 of these won't start next week so I'm not too concerned, friendlies don't mean anything anyway.

 

[Paxman II]

What was the side the last few games and play offs last season? Are we anywhere near that side?
Was Kelly & Doyle not at their best at that point in the engine room?
Max scoring spectacular goals? JCH an able sub off the bench?
So we lost McNulty and his goals and just as important his running off the ball.
Bayliss has not had a game yet. Jones still missing! And we have not got Chaplin yet.

Bit of a bad pre season so far for one reason or another.

 

[Otis]

Which bit?

Exactly.

Take those 4 goals out of the equation and we're going in level at nil nil.

 

[sw88]

Let’s have a party!

Allasani nets a delightful goal

4-1

 

[Quball]

jesus christ we've scored

 

[BigadamL]

Let’s not forget that they will be top end championship and they do look it, however we look poor, CB , CM


Good finish for the goal!!!

 

[chiefdave]

The plan is working perfectly, got them nice and relaxed ready for us to bang 5 in.

 

[luwalla]

Really looking forward to watching Allasani this season to be fair... who needs McNulty!!

 

[fatso]

Allasani clearly hasn’t read the script.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Not what we needed in terms of confidence, but when we do have a full team out there, well we ok. The annoying thing is (and not MRs fault) not having a lot of the key players fit/available to get used to each other. Just got to hope they gel quickly.
