" Frustrated "

Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:10 pm

Because everytime we take the lead we sit back on the 18 yard line and defend which normally has the outcome of the opposition scoring which is what happened today AGAIN.

Whits played to deep again and was ineffective and going forward we are slow and we cant seem to create any tempo apart from slow.

Kenny Miller had no service at all apart from long balls all game which he didnt win 1 and thats not his fault he isnt that kind of player.

We gave the ball back to Watford and lost possession to often in the game.

Liam Lawrance has added nothing to the team at all and to bring Earnshaw on when the team are camped on the 18 yard line was clueless.

At times its so slow you could fall asleep and with no width or any player to get behind defenders its even more difficult for us .

The inability to add to the squad is taking its toll but we find ourselves in a good position in the league ,what will happen at the end of the season in terms of where we finish is a difficult one.For me I love the City but this subdued way of playing football is very frustrating if we just played higher up the pitch and challenged for the ball rather than camping on the 18 yard line it would be so much better.What do you think?

Boring ineffective and negative football.

This is the worst football ive seen for a long time watching City. 16 points from a possible 45 is incredible. We take that into next season and we wont stay up let alone challenge to get into the Prem!!

If Malky starts off in this mode next season, we'll be well and truly fucked. Heaven help us if we have the same back four and Miller as our main strike threat.

Yea that makes sense when will he realise that defending on the 18 yard line is a no go.

all we had to do was keep the ball, make watford chase after us, and that would have opened up the spaces, instead we let them throw ball after ball into the box and they were a pretty big team.. before the free kick i said they would score, and they did...

I said the same thing mate it was on the cards that goal.I agree we needed to keep the ball rather than kicking posetion away time after time .We have scored a lot of goals ourselves for opposing teams if you geT my drift.1-0 is always tight but we should have been able to see this game out but we lost it ourselves AGAIN.

We were piss poor again today after we scored, sat too deep and didn't attack the ball. The team seem as if they dont want the playoffs and they all look jaded, not enough rotation in the small squad we got.

I started a thread about MM still being with us in the summer. One or two thought I was on a windup.

So do you not feel Malky will be hear in the summer?
Im guessing you feel he will walk away from us then?
Astute successful business men dont offer people new deals on a contract they sack them off a few months later.
And before you or someone comes back with its a cut throat business ruthless world etc. Do me a favour and dont :roll: :lol:

i dont know how we can go from brillant attacking into dangerous defending? :oops:

Malky will know what he needs and wants in more detail next season, so the team we will be watching then would have even more work put into it. He knows his job could be on the line at any point whilst managing at a club with our targets, so this is the time when he probes and pushes to see what works and what doesnt.

He probably thinks himself I dont know how we are still in the mix because deep down he knows the team hasnt got what it takes right now.

Got a funny feeling that you may be right. Whatever happens, you can keep the MM brand of boring 4 5 1 football and I think a lot of our fans will be voting with their feet. :(
