“We are in Freefall Guys and thier aint no getting away from it...Spare me the "Blind Faith" merchants, only a realistic approach (tough love) can sort City Out. we have seen dozens of once great sides hit rock bottom and City are no different, Some bounce back (Leeds)...Some Dont...(Oxford)...remember that team who used to wallop us every game in the Eighties?...Lets hope we are not the latter”

“Daniel Cousin scored on his debut.”

“Stop the excuses guys, you reap what you sow in all walks of life, particularly in football.
Face the honest truth, apart from JB, who hardly ever plays anyway, we ain't got even one top quality player in the sqaud. It's a mixture of has beens, journeymen type players and old crocks like ashbee and barmby.
We lack real pace in all areas, and we can't rely on young kids who are still learning the game.
That leaves us with the garbage that has failed us for more than 18 months now and we'll continue to spirall to obscurity.
Funny how at the start of the season, ashbee was supposed to be our svaiour, now it's finally dawni g on even his most ardent supporters that he's finished. You can't come back from the injury he had at his age and make a difference, as far better players than him have found out.
We're as good as relegated c os we won't win away, and the KC is no fortress.”

“I wonder, will we need yet another "Great Escape"? Who will be our saviour this season? Must stay positive but it does not look good on any front right now! Hope NP gets well soon. Maybe a pleasant surprise awaits us on Tuesday”

“Once again, poor team selection, coupled with a crass lack of fitness sends us into a spiral of defeat. Ashbee was well off the pace and that makes his lack of quality all the more pronounced ¿ the fact that he sometimes seemed to be our best midfielder simply shows how bad the rest were.

Yes Gardner had a poor game, but to leave him out when he is so clearly the best CB we have, is simply stupid. The loss of McShane was all too clear ¿ despite his poor reputation from some posters. Garcia was a waste of space and Bostock needs confidence around him. Simpson is a poor indication of Arsenal¿s training regime.

So, there is no place in the team¿s future for Halmosi. It is very hard to see how that has been decided ¿ can he really be worse than what we have been watching? Zayatte¿s fitness is wasted at CB.

Then we have the Curate¿s Egg that is Matt Duke; sure he played well in parts but overall it was simply poor goalkeeping; difficult to judge though, as his back four where more of a threat than a defence.

There are problems in playing our best eleven, in having all of the right players available at the same time and another management team fixated on isolating ill-equipped strikers up front on their own. Barmby showed what tenacity and link-play can achieve but his engine has it limitations and would be better used as a impact sub ¿ but I can see why it is felt he must start ¿ fitness levels are simply appalling. Get the fitness right and players can raise their game, leave them as they are and they will be constantly be chasing it.

I know many disagree, but get the fitness levels up to that required of a professional footballer and we have a team to compete; get the injured back into contention and we have a decent team who will threaten at the other end of the table and then get Jimmy Bullard involved and other players will realise that passing a ball to where you intend and receiving a well timed ball are the real delights of the game. To do that it will help if they are not breathing through their rear ends!”

“Matt H Hull
Your quote "if the like of Ashby where that bad do you really think that every professional coach/manager that had been to this club would pick them"?
Well they keep picking that Australian waste of space, Garcia, so what does that tell you.
How anybody can see what he brings to the game is totally beyond me.
In Sunday People it says we are trying to get rid of Fagen and Folan. I can't disagre with that as long as Garcia is added to them. Something like three for the price of two, or one.”

“It's time to cut the krap out and put players in the team that will make things happen. The regime now need to back track and eat humble pie cos Bullard 'is and will' get us out of this pickle. Halmosi is quicker and the more skilful player we have on the left, so I think it is about time he was given a second chance as well. And seen as it's all going pear shaped and looking pathetic, we should be playing Gardener, instead of Zayatte or Cooper which is beyond me. It's time to get it sorted Nigel because sir Adam will have your guts for garters come October, should things not improve. So don't leave the talent rotting behind the scenes, bring them to the fro and get us out of vthis ruddy mess!”

“Zayatte didn't look interested but on that performance we will be very lucky if anyone will want him. If we can get Ayala in from Liverpool and work with a back four of Macca/Ayala/Gardner/Dawson we would look more solid. Then can always bring LC in when AG is injured or Ayala is bedded in. Midfield gave the ball away far too cheaply with Garcia had a poor game. Cullen was isolated up front, so brought an unfit looking Simpson on. That left 2 players isolated up front.”

“Player availability lists from PL clubs have already been circulated down to Football League Clubs. 25 man squads due to be made public next week. Some players have to be moved on by tuesday 5pm. Should be a good few days fun watching this unravel.

AP told Burnsie yesterday live on radio that Very Little money is being spent by anyone outside the top 8 clubs. Most deals are now Loans. Looking around there are some talented players out there. NP appears to have right the contacts as well.

GET WELL SOON NIGEL. Get rid of the loosers who are causing you stress.”

“look we have been here before ,W.L.D.L. this year, L.D.W.L promotion year to prem.this is a bad patch np will get it right(i think we all wish him well) .all this business past sell by dates with some players.we should think ourselves very lucky to still be in business ,i for one will be backing the tigers all the way as ihave for many a year .”
