KILLS ME TO SAY THIS BUT....

We are dying as a club ,

Until slade goes ( which he wont because he and Tan are overly close ) then we will continue to fall , Just look at the way we have been playing tonight - Absolute shite , Its been a real dire performance so far.

We have been attracting much lower crowds than we did last year or even when we managed to hit the big time in the premier league , and who blames the fans - who wants to see diabolical football being played by a team week in week out who used to play with such passion. Even some of our longest supporters have disappeared , not because they are so called 'Glory Supporters' but because the current team are shite compared to some of the teams they used to watch down the years.

Again it kills me to say this , but we are dying as a club. I love city but if this continues much longer I can honestly see League 2 crowd numbers turning up to our home games. Average attendances of 14,500 fans is terrible , but again if this style of football continues I can see it dropping below an average of 10,000

You have to remember that's not our first team.

Its more than less the same everyweek

Not as bad as this just a lot of first teamers are missing.

You have to remember that's not our first team.

But they are playing in exactly the same way.

It's ponderous. disjointed and players trying to do it all themselves.

There is no one breaking their bollox to give support or busing a gut to get into the box.

Apart from sending 11 players out to try and score there are no other tactics on display.

Believe me - for me to be sitting at home watching Cardiff City on the box when its £10 a ticket at home means that the club are in big trouble going forward.

FFS I went up to Shrewsbury for a pre season friendly in July.

Even our 2nd string should beat these mugs. They lost 7-1 last week ffs Rydo we've still got a lot of first team players out there tonight, more than enough to beat these. Don't make excuses for a dire performance against a shit league 1 side.

You're right.

Ryan are you serious? ? ?

Most of the team playing tonight are first team players and were playing Shrewsbury.

Yes but not a settled side doesnt take away the fact we should be beating them.

Should have just given Shrewsbury the win , Even if we do come back ( which wont happen ) we DONT deserve to win

Spot on! Can't agree enough!


We look the same as we normally do, regardless of personnel its slades way of playing!

This is embarrassing, they lost 7-1 last week!


Slade has to go now!

Exactly that's I am saying that our players being put out should be beaten them and comfortably.

True, first or second team, it's still hard to watch without Watt, who looks a lot better than all the other strikers by a mile....

How Many of those players have not played some played some part in our first team

Tamas
Moore and even he has played for our first team

Who else ????

They were all 1st team squad players!!!

let me say this, the whole board from top to bottom is corrupt, those board members have made millions out of the city, so blame managers and players , but the blame lies with the greedy board members

What I meant was that it wasn't our settled side but shouldn't take away the fact that the team that was put out should be beating Shrewsbury.

Quality team set up wrong

You have to remember that's not our first team.

You surely are taking the p**s.
Fabio starts pretty much every other week
Mana is probably the best centre half at the club
Malone see Fabio
Whittingham has started the majority of the season
Dickgackoi same again
Ameobi is regularly in the first team some how
And Macheda in my opinion is good enough to start.

There are just absolutely no excuses for that, they simply wanted it more, showed more willingness than us to bounce back from a drumming and in my opinion outplayed us 7 times out of 10. I have always stood on the sidelines with Slade but he doesn't have a clue and I agree with the op the passion is dying we were more interested in singing to empty stands today, says it all really.

Read my above comments on what I meant it wasn't a settled team but still should be good enough to beat Shrewsbury ffs.

Was not excited about this fixture when I saw the team..

From what I seen tonight the formation was a 4-4-0.. to start two of the same mold strikers or incredibly similar was just asking for lumped balls into the box. I don't know why you would choose two strikers who both have no pace.

Revell and Macheda starting who are rumoured to be two that are heading out of the door? Fantastic.. because publicly hinting at two strikers who could both be sold this window and starting them is going to guarantee you 100% effort, regardless of them being paid by the club if I knew I was publicly hinted at being sold during a transfer window when already being down the pegging order of strikers I would not be committed or have my heart in playing a game the following few days and their performances were woeful but I ain't gonna sit here and slate them after what's been in the papers the past few days.

Don't get me wrong I can see why Whittingham has been dropped but to barely bring him off the bench in league game is just woeful thinking by Slade, he still has the quality but when he gets barely brought off the bench when some games Ralls just doesn't look the player who started the season in the form he did then I just question what Slade watches on times.

I have always looked to back Slade and I don't like turning against managers and wanting him out but the players looked like they didn't play for Slade.. like yes they should give 100% but the manager has to be driving into the players to keep their head focused and go and win the game.

I wouldn't mind Trollope if that's how you spelt it take over until the end of the season then maybe consider Bellamy.. I actually right now would risk it but not right now during the season.
