Honeymoon

After reading a lot of the post match reaction on this board,i think its safe to assume that for a lot of City fans,the honeymoon with Malky is over,but im reminded of what Dave Jones once said,and i quote "judge me after ten games"....now most of you on here know im not Malky's biggest fan,but i intend to give him ten matches before i pass comment

It's a long season, 46 games just in the league and we still don't have a large enough squad. We could be rubbish in the first 10 games, but still get promoted. Funny old game.

If we don't bolster the defence and get smarter in attack, then we're stuffed.

The fact is, though, that we could all see the problems in our performance, but we still picked up 3 points. Happy days.

I do agree with what you say here, but the problem is the tactics that we're seeing.

Playing Cowie instead of either Mason or Conway makes no sense to me.

Turner and Hudson seem to have no plan other than to bypass the midfield and hoof the ball up where we inevitably lose it.

Whitts playing too deep for my liking.

The 4-5-1 (or more like 4-1-4-1 last night) that definitely adds to the problem of atmosphere at home, as we don't seem to have any zip about us.

These were all there for us to see last season and last night seemed no different - that's what I worry about.

But I'll take your ethos and see if any of this changes in the next 9 games.

Good post. One of the things discussed last night, was that most of our team weren't new - I think it was only 3 in the starting line-up that weren't with us last season (correct me if I'm wrong). This, of course, begs the question "why did we play like a bunch of strangers?"

Its a different system 4-2-3-1.

Whitts or Gunnar were alternating dropping deep to get the ball, Hudson & turner changed it by providing crap cross field long balls.

The 3 attacking mid Craig (new) Mutch (New and unfit) Cowie (different position)

The one target man had a good game
