    Herman Not hindsight you should have been there and heard what the fans were saying before kick off. I can assure you Farke would be out today, he makes it seem good that we scrape a draw against a team who have no form at home. Another manager who thinks we are little old Norwich and worries more about his job than our club

    Quite a few also went to Burton, to see almost a reserve team. There is a big difference to changing a losing side and one which just won convincingly away. Thank God he was forced to bring on Tettey as a sub as that changed the game immediately. I am sorry and I never thought I would say this but our manager is an idiot and really hasnt a clue. If Burton had any decent attack we would have lost in first fifteen mins. I am sorry but really mad as clear manager does not see promotion as top priority

    And the Leeds player was trying to stop Olivera getting on with the game by taking our throw , so how you can blame Olivera really is unbelievable who is trying to play football unlike the Leeds player!

    Before the dive the Leeds player clearly throws a punch and connects , yes I know not hard punch but a straight red. Also look at all the Leeds fans behind the incident interestingly none of them react to the dive , and they could see much better than the tv replay what was going on.

    Amazing what was clearly straight red for Leeds player for throwing a punch and fans get at our player!

    We had no real width was the real problem no winger in team. We missed a sitter in first half and that set the tone really. I can not say anyone had a bad game but neither did anyone set pitch alight. Madders kept running into red brick wall, Hools was awful in defence duties as usual . Too much huff and puff always lokking for another pass, really should have at least drawn. Olivera needs to be taught how to head a ball and stop being lazy and moaning . He is abrilliant player but needs to stay focussed. To say best performance suggests where real isssue is we need to remember game is about scoring goals not pass pass pass going nowhere.

    As a qualified referee myself I am ashamed to say a typical weak performance by a referee who clearly was intimidated by his surroundings. To get one big decision wrong is forgiveable but to then go on and ignore a blatant penalty is not! As a referee I am constantly being told on big decisions do not rush to give your decision. You could see the referee immediately reach for yellow as he blew! He therefore decided it was a foul it does not matter if accidental or not the only question was whether a clear goal scoring opportunity. Replays show NO is clearly in control of the ball and beyond last defender end of. Only after he had been tripped up did the other defender catch up in line with NO. You can not take into account the relative sprint speeds of players you have to freeze frame the moment contact made. As for the penalty decision there is nothing to debate as the picture on Pink Un web site shows , Arsenal defender behind player and leaning into back! What I hate about the FA is neither the Officials or the FA have to publically defend such decisions and that considering how much they rely on supporters is plain wrong!

    I have never booed a city player but would be the first to admit to making critical comments during a game. R Martin was a good if not great player for city in some games brilliant however those days are gone! I know he is agreat guy and green and yellow to the core but he is at best now a back up defender and the real problem is he still has no idea what to do as captain! He is captain and defender but never organises the defence talks to players anything. He brings no in play leadership almost looks as though doesnt care when we concede another goal! I am afraid he is now the root cause of the teams decline hence good players leaving. Need new captain who can bring steel to the team.

    I hoped Farke was different and would put the club before his own ego which AN also failed to do. Initially he dealt with Nelson correctly just emotions etc, should then have had a quiet word in private to sort it out. Then against Sunderland he leaves out the two players who turned the game around against Fulham, presumably to prove a point to Nelson and brings out the entire Nelson incident into a big thing apologised to team etc. Naissmith talks his way back into side and Martin carries on playing when Pinto available . Like most fans dont care what happens off the pitch just on it, and anybody can see Nelson is better than Jerome and Pinto better than Martin. Naissmith brings nothing to midfield. Farke needs to learn quick dont have favourites pick on ability to play not talk

    This is what happens when you keeep a clueless manager who has lost all confidence for too long. Like many of the squad he lost his drive etc. One of our best players going for 5 million to a rival club can not be good business. He still had two years of contract to run instead we keep Naismith enough said. He should have been made captain this season and drop Mr Martin who is I am afraid more use to the club off the field than he is on!

    I really can not believe anyone with any sense would think selling Howson to Leeds is a good idea. 1. They were and will be in contention for promotion next year. 2. Howson is our most consistent midfield player rarely makes mistake good passer and can score cracking goals and assist others. 3. Would love to see him as captain and see him sort team out , unlike Mr Martin who is no longer a great back and completly anonymous when the pressure is on! 4. In Premier League showed his class and would again if we got there! If he must leave make it a Premier side for 10 mill plus

    Interesting that not one mention of what an AWFUL example of a captain he has been this season. He could not organise a pee up in a brewery , I can not remember him EVER organising the side motivating them in fact he NEVER looks like he is the captain. Doubt if any neutral would realise he is captain. You need a captain who motivates inspires leads by example! Sorry I agree maybe good as squad player but Howson should be captain.

    I am always amazed how fans have a short memory. When Klose joined us he transformed the defence and at one stage was so respected by others was touted for player of season in Premier League. Unfortunately he got injured for run in effectively ending our chances of survival. I suspect the 14m bid turned down by us , probably turned his head as he is clear that doesnt want to be playing at Champs level. Very very bad management decision by AN , never good idea to keep players who want to move on.
  14. CJ
    Well this is good timing knows how to get through Championship minefield , good experience soon sort our defence out!
  15. CJ
    I wonder who would be more scared the players or the press!
  16. CJ
    Well that would shake things up 😄

    I for one would love him back now! I suspect that if he had his way Neil Adams wouldnt have been appointed, that and other issues are the reason he left. Look at the way Moxey had enough after a few months, Delia et al need to get McNally back and let him hire and fire , under him we wouldnt have waited this long to sort things out. He sorted this club out before and can do it again
  18. CJ
    Russ Martin, surely you are having a laugh the non existant captain who thinks the team should be only those he likes and are the in crowd. I have yet to see him organise anything on the pitch, mind you he struggles to fulfill his own position so unlikely to be able to command respect or authority!
  19. CJ
    There is something more than just the management position to worry about , ever since McNally leaving its been a mess. CEO lasting a few months why? I must admit have very limited faith in present Board etc to get this right. I for one would have David McNally back he sorted it out last time, and I suspect he is the kind of person who could do it again.

    Sorry but you really need ambitious demanding coach not one who doesnt want the responsibility of being number one. We need management who are demanding of themselves the players etc.
  21. CJ
    Oh please please NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO? England remind me so much of Norwich City in that they both full of players who think they are Gods gift to the world of football and do not want to do the hard graft part of the game you need at every level. Hodgson was useless with England and will be ditto with ours making same mistakes as AN that is not playing on merit rather on if as Martin would put if they "fit in ". I fear that having risked all on a young inexperienced manager they will now go for the opposite!
  22. CJ
    Sorry about punctuation, just realised how much his interview reminded me of Alex Neil, always someone else to blame.
  23. CJ
    So the captain spills the beans the team is completely divided into the in crowd who think its a "privelege" to play for the club and those who he thinks do not. Goes on and on about players letting manager down etc fails to mention he is the CAPTAIN and therefore ultimately responsible for sorting it out on the pitch. Sorry I know he is yellow and green through and through but he has clearly done nothing to keep the team together more like been the one pulling it apart. This club stinks of those who are "in" and those who are not, time for places to be on merit not just because you are "in".

    Sorry on what planet was that a red He just stood over the ball Blackburn player came through his back to get ball so ended with his foot being stood on totally unintentionally. Clearly both players looking at ball nothing at all malicious only Mr Hooper could see that as red, yellow yes .
  25. CJ
    It has to be Alexs team, since Wildschut got a goal last game drop him! Irvine clearly thinks make sense! And they wonder why the players have no confidence in the management!
