What was happening in the dug out with Evans?

[Nick]

We have looked effective but not really troubled their keeper.

It's as if we don't know how to strike a ball cleanly

Grimmer did well at the start with a last ditch tackle.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Yes he’s the best player we have - worrying

You've changed your tune

What was happening in the dug out with Evans?

Elastic snapped on his trousers

Someone stole his food. Probably thorn.

Fighting over a pie

For anyone thinking of attending a City game soon but first watching these weekly threads .,.......it's a huge negative turn off. Rarely many positive comments.

Sadly that’s the way of the world. Hi

The tea's good and much needed.

No not really look at my ratings

 

[Esoterica]

His off the ball work in covering back is awful

Are you here

Watching, not there. He's having to do 60 yard runs to support the attack and repeat it to get back. Both defences are sitting deep out of possession and he's having to do the running for 2 in the middle. It's not sustainable for 90 mins which is what is giving the impression of him drifting in and out of games this season. Fear for the 2nd half if we don't get an early goal - when he get's knackered we'll be pinned in our own box for the rest of the match again as we have been for the last 3 league games.

Poor half. Yes they are good team and have a good away record but too many are Having poor games - Doyle, Hiwula, Chaplin, JCH, grimmer and bayliss have all been poor

I despair you think Hiwula has played well

I didn’t say he has

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Terrible half? What are you lot watching? Yes we need more in the final third but I thought that was a fairly decent half.

Boring I'd call it. Not good, not bad - barely there

 

[skybluetony176]

Thomas looks a player. Shame he's not ours.

I have a mate who’s a season ticket holder at Derby and he reckons his loan being extended for the rest of the season is a done deal. Fingers crossed.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Hiwula offers nothing, Chaplin is devoid of confidence and quality.
Thank god we have Doyle, the glue that holds us together.

Now you are trying to push the agenda you have mates.... Have a day off

Yes he’s stuck to the effing back four

Again, our final ball has let us down too much. Again, too much play having to go through Doyle. Again, Hiwula scuffing chances he should be doing better with. Again, Burge being called up on much more than the opposition keeper.

 

[Ricketts]

Very enjoyable first half, can’t believe some of the negative comments on here. Ref poor though, but not the worst we’ve had. Would help if he was familiar with the laws of the game.
At least he didn’t give Chaplin a red for his kick-out.
1 minute of extra time? We’ve changed the ball four times!

 

[lifeskyblue]

Slightly better team first half without really troubling them. Baylis looks superb until 30yds out then passing and shooting goes awry. Hiwula’s tricks might be worth trying in the box but not In our half.
Worry that pboro haven’t got into 3rd gear yet. Hopefully won’t spend this half camped on edge of our own 18yd lime.

We seem to go to shit, overhit or underhit passes.

Hiwula keeps sprinting back to our goal as fast as he can, then when he gets it he can't control it.

Even more worrying I’ve just realised I’ve accidentally posted on a match thread.

 

[larry_david]

Will we come out slow like the last few games?

You could say the same about Peterboro' tbf. That's the sort of game this is.

I agree with the point re Bayliss getting tired. It’s massively evident when he doesn’t play/is tired/off form, as we suddenly lose all attacking drive through the middle.

He’s been poor today by his standards, but hes still a threat and helps us avoid playing a back
six.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Nice kick off routine

 

[Paxman II]

Well said Andy Whing. Good summary.

 

[hill83]

can’t believe some of the negative comments on here

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

What was Hiwula waiting for then!!!

 

[skybluetony176]

Oops. Her love egg fell out again.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Thomas did so well one on one but chippped wise

 

[sw88]

Thomas misses a poor one! Should have dunked it or took it around the keeper!

 

[Grendel]

I thought it was Chaplin?

 

[covcity4life]

Omg Thomas would be better than Messi if he could shoot lol
