I phoned in anNot for a moment defending the use of whistles in the manner used. But I actually made an effort to go the match and I can tell you that you and the other one or two peeps moaning about this on the radio are absolutely, 100% wrong. Lamerias was caught out by a miss-hit by Bolton's 22 (Ameobi), and which was meant to go to the midfield flank but instead went square outside the box, completely bypassing Lamerias and catching him out. Thereafter, 3 City players were wedded to the spot when the ball landed to the Bolton scorer.
I get that some people aren't happy with the protest against Sheffield and that carrying the whistles over in the manner in which they were used today is pointless and a bit stupid. But the protesters are not to blame for the goal. No need to do Fisher's work here. please.
I was at the match and phoned in. Reilly and Lameiras both stopped on the whistle. At least 1 of them would have been able to put more pressure on the cross. The only side the whistle could possibly affect at that time is the defending team, so bloody stupid really.Not for a moment defending the use of whistles in the manner used.

You would not have guessed the two teams were at opposite ends of the table from todays performance. 2 good points, shame it was so close to 6, but lots to build on and some winnable games coming up.
Ah, sorry, my bad. Also, I see from the CT report that it was Clough’s "total miscue" that was the "perfect pass" for Taylor. Very cruel on the city.
Just seen their second. Whistles didn't seem to have any influence tbh

Are you Richard Hammond in disguise?

Lameries always seems to me the exact opposite of the sort of player you want to bring on when you're trying to tighten up a game and see it out.Lamieres 5
ACL were using the ticket office to store all the pies they're refusing to sell in corporate.Anyone know why the Ricoh match day ticket office wasn't being used? You had to get your tickets from the Hospitality counter.

Agree with most of that but I think it's a bit harsh on Haynes who made up for the penalty with the run and assist for beavon's goal and I would give Thomas an 8, his best game for us so far.Given the context of where we are and the dross thats been served up this season.

Slade has made a real positive impact but the only puzzling thing was his subs.
Neither are remotely capable at defending the flanks so it was very strange.
Still with a fit stokes and a couple of decent loan options up front and a midfielder we look ok.
Haynes and Rose were poor but everyone else who started did well.
Yeah, I didn't think Haynes was bad. He pretty much kept Ameobi in check most of the game.I too was surprised by the substitutions...I wouldn't have used lameiries today. And his run at end he should have gone to corner rather than try a drag back.
I agree re rose...he looked lost at times today. But I disagree re Haynes...he wasn't our best player but not our worst either. He did ok re ameobi even though Bolton used ameobi as an outlet esp in first half.
What was disappointing for me towards the end was dropping and staying deep...too deep allowing Bolton possession and space in the middle of the park.

He's very clever, his movement is exceptional.Thomas is a lot better now he isn't as stocky like he was at the start of the season

Yeah, but we handled it well and won a fair few free kicks from our attackers backing inWas impressed today by how well he held the ball under the pressure of some big guys in that Bolton team (in fact, until the subs, I thought Bolton were the most physically intimidating team we're come against this season, though not in a "dirty side" way).
Not been impressed with Thomas previously, but really was today. He reminded me of McSheffrey. Clever on the ball, quick, good touch.Was impressed today by how well he held the ball under the pressure of some big guys in that Bolton team (in fact, until the subs, I thought Bolton were the most physically intimidating team we're come against this season, though not in a "dirty side" way).

More of the same please.
No, probably right.He moves and turns like mcsheffrey in his youth but will never have the same awareness in and around goal
At least Haynes channelled something worthwhile in making an assist. The reason he never plays regularly is that he is utterly incapable of remaining focused during a game. He gets lost and out of position so much it's unbelievable. One moment in the first half he ended up in central
Midfield - his pass was intercepted and went to their right and we were exposed.
He's just not capable of maintaining discipline and focus.

I just feel sorry for the players here as they were fucked up by their own fans thick deluded actions
Really??And how do you know it was our fans and not theirs?
Lameiras is too slow to be effective on the counter, that's why both times he broke away he didn't really have the pace to get away from the defence and lost the ball. Jones would have probably been a better option for a counter attack option.I think Lamieras was brought on, not to tighten things up but as a counter attacking option and it almost worked twice.
As I said on another thread, the last two performances have seen some improvement and brought a little hope. When turning things around you don't always get what you deserve and it can be a slow job turning the corner. Let's hope with a bit more confidence and a little tweaking around tactics and formation we can start moving up the table.
He's very clever, his movement is exceptional.
On a side note, Slade made a comment about the needing to intensify training to get the squada fitness levels up.
