THIS.
Its pretty much everything he has been saying all pre season. No reason for any of us to doubt him now !
No. If you're a footballer you try different things. The manager doesn't do it for you.
He did say it to be fair, I thought he sounded like a broken man , like he needed a pick me up from some onePlatt I don't know how the interview on CWR sounded but the one on the official website doesn't say Armstrong isn't his type of forward.
Its more that today he just didn't play the role that Mowbray would have liked him to do, probably due to lack of training/preparation time/understanding.
"Adam Armstrong did well but he didn't play the role like I'd like him to so we're going to work with him over the next week as you can tell he's got the quality.

Who was in the dugout today? Just Mowbray, Oggy and Clapham I guess? Any sign of Venus?

Friendly logic:
This City team: CITY XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany (C), Mangala, Kolarov, Evans, Nasri, Silva, Navas, Bony, Sterling #cityontour #mcfc
are 4-0 down to Stuttgart...
...at half time.
Well CCFC aren't going to publicise that Mowbray said that is he. Honestly he sounded like he was about to cry, sounded like he was fucking pissed off aswell at the team
Didn't Southampton recently lose 7-0 to an unknown team? Their fans must be worried for the forthcoming season
Whilst today was poor, very poor actually, I'll wait to see how we turn up in a competitive game before i begin to worry.
he also said that they had dissected all the other games in pre season , but were just going to forget about this one ( a wise move in my opinion ,) as to they would get no positives out of it , like I say he seemed to me like he was trying to convince himself, however a win next week and im sure his confidence will come through againWill listen to the interview later if it comes up on iplayer
So that leaves one senior striker if thats the case
Which would be a problem if the transfer window closed yesterday, it's not ideal but its much more important to get the right players for the whole season in a few weeks time rather than getting in the wrong players now.
Remind me, how long has the window been open?
And how many points are available between Wigan and when the window shuts?
Window has been open all summer
And to your second question not nearly as many as are available between September and May.
Would you rather lose 7-10 points in the first month because we started the first few games a bit short. Or would you rather lose 25-30 points over the season because we signed the wrong players?
Ideally you'd lose 0 and already have the team you wanted in place but that isn't possible.
Absolutely correct on every point you've made Chipfat. Top post mateIts no good looking at others results, or what we did 10 season or last season during pre season,, look at the squad, and asked the question, is it good enough, has it got enough depth for the normal suspension and injuries you get during a season.. The answer is No and No for me,, but is this squad going to be the sqaud we finish with, that is the only question that has 100% answer,, TM will need to improve the sqaud in every dept.. He is getting frustrated as posted weeks ago, he now is seeing what he has, what he can bring in and how hard it is to do this on a certain budget.. He can't look at lists of players that are out of his range and anyone who is the quality he wants that fits money wise every other club in our situation are after aswell.. Its alright knowing the game and having contact, but without the money to back it up you are pissing in the wind... Tough spot and with this squad TM will have to calm expectation down otherwise he will look like SP did in the end a fool..

In comparison to the majority of the teams in this league our budget is competitive. There aren't that many teams that have significantly stronger squads than ours. The signings so far - despite taking a bit of time to make - have been good and TM expects more to come. So once again I cannot fathom how people are just assuming that SISU are fucking him and the fans over.
Have you seen the size of the squad? It's not big enough and doesn't show quality to me. How many players of ours are proven at this level? Ricketts and reda. Who else? We were relegation fodder last season and so far in pre-season from what I've seen we will be again. Sisu have turned us from a championship team to league 1 relegation fodder due to many mistakes of there own.

Poor attendance today aswell, not that it means anything for a friendly but shows how far we have declined. We used to have the biggest fanbase in Nuneaton, considerably bigger than Villa/Leicester in the 80s and 90s. Now, I'm not so sure. Dissapointing but understandable after years and years of mismanagement, crap players, crap managers and little to no excitement following CCFC.
Why are you so volatile all the time? Chill out, you said pre season means nothing, so I don't know what you're angry about.Bore off now pal.
