I honestly don''t think it''s our worry , although Martin hasn''t been great this season. I think it lies with the attacking players and would rather see us going for a creative centre midfielder and a striker with a bit of confidence about him , maybe inngs or similar (high on confidence and finding the net) I for one would try offload becchio and Elmander and bring in one possibley on loan and a permanent striker. Anyone agree or still think we should be looking at defenders as our first choice ?!

I agree with supporters getting frustrated with snoddy''s crossing. This year it''s been terrible , the amount of times he can''t beat the first man on a corner has been embarrassing for the money he gets paid. The people who did moan should except a F off back , as I would prob do the same if I knew I was performing bad myself

It must of worked a bit. As second half we come out fighting a bit more

If I do a poor job in my work. The customers complains , us as paying customers have the right to Cheer it boo , first half yesterday was shocking , and if it wasn''t for ruddy and the woodwork it could if been 4 nil. So if fans want to be due to a shocking half the players must understand this and up there game !! £25000 a week and snoddy couldn''t beat the first man on corners not good enough , and fans were right to object !!

Martin is getting torn a new one so far tonight !!

Couldn''t agree more with the op , championship right backs playing in the premier. Martin has one great game followed by 3 poor. Often falls asleep and let his man go on set pieces , Whittaker good crosser of the ball , but poor positioning and lack off pace IMO !!

Anyone who says they wouldn''t are mad. One of England''s best centre backs for years. Still got a couple of premiership years in him yet. Could we afford his wages no chance !!

The service is a lot to look at. The midfield are not getting the balls in. They are feeding on scraps at the min , some of snoddys crossing has been dreadful this season , Worst signing Is elmander 17 appearances 0 goals. Dreadful !!

[quote user="JF"]A poster on the not606 site has said that Wes''s house is up for sale![/quote] I can safely say it wasn''t a couple of weeks ago. His old one might be , I know this as my mate is wiring his new build house which is brought and paid for !!

If we were great against Fulham he clearly has lost his marbles. Fer never looks as good playing along side Johnson. Maybe he''s scared of Johnson''s passing ability !!

Agreed morty , his attacking play has been great this year and made us look dangerous when attacking !!

Cardiff have been the most defensive and worst team I have seen at carrow road all year. Spending 30 mil too , in my eyes no to malky another Bryan gunn legend figure (but ceraiy a better manager ;) )

[quote user="Ray"]GJP, Not sure how many times I need to post this and yes I know stats can be misleading but; Passes per game - RM 45.5, SW 27.8 Pass Success % - RM 80.4, SW 74.5, My maths says, RM makes 36.6 successful passes per game, SW makes 20.71 Crosses - they are equal at 0.3 per game Accurate long ball per game - RM 2.7, SW 2.1. So RM plays 28.57% more successful long balls per game than SW. So I just don''t get how people say SW makes better use of the ball, when the stats say the complete opposite, even allowing for a bit of damn lies, etc. RM still comes out on top surely. Of course we can all fall into the proving ourselves right trap, that''s to say we will see what we need to see to prove ourself right, it;s called Dominant Thought and the brain is hard wired to prove itself right and will therefore see the things it needs to see to do so, which is why I tend to look at stats, they are probably less skewed than my barin will be when it serches for the proof I was right all along![/quote] Ray get off a stat website and start watching Martin live at matches, martins positional play and mistakes on man marking etc he''s been terrible and contributed to a fair few mistakes and goals. These stats on pass complete is rubbish !

[quote user="Yorkshire Canary"]Midfield is our problem not strikers i think that and RB will be the positions we focus on if any.[/quote] Couldn''t agree more. Think hooper and rvw can get goals if only the midfield gave them some decent chances , rather than scraps every game. The final ball this year from wingers has been terrible , Right back Defo need 2 , Whittaker too slow and Martin not prem quality in my opinion !!

Well my mate has currently been wiring out his newly built house. So let''s hope it''s only rumours !!

Bassong not strong enough. And ruddy should of stayed on his line turner covering

We don''t but are today. Nothing wrong with 4-4-2 in my opinion unlike some on here and the new man city manager has always known to play this. Looking awesome but it does help with the squad they have of course !!

Would rather Murphy on the wing. Fer in middle with Johnson dropped. But I''m not the gaffer. Come on boys otbc !!

Played 4-4-2 again which apparently don''t work. Only 6 goals again

[quote user="The ghost of Michael Theoklitos"][quote user="Snakepit Ric"][quote user="The ghost of Michael Theoklitos"][quote user="Gingerpele"]But it wasn''t. It was fluid, and that''s what works. Most of the second half the formation was more like a straight 4-4-2 and we lost our fluidity and didn''t look as good. first half Hooper and Elmander were taking turns to drop back, go out wide. Hoolahan was all over the pitch, Redmond went down both winge. May have been set up as 4-4-2, but 4-4-2 wasn''t the ''tactic''.[/quote]^^ This.The last team to win anything playing a traditional 4-4-2 was Melchester Rovers.[/quote] Man city have done well playing it this year ??[/quote]You mean the one that beat Spurs 6-0, where they set up as 4-2-3-1 ?[/quote] Yeah and the one that played 4-4-2 today and won 3-0 👍

Good manager , trying to manage a lot of over paid lazy has been''s !! Good luck on your next club !!

I feel sorry for the bloke. Always the first to congratulate players on twitter after the match. Although we don''t see his effort in training maybe he can''t hit a barn door , maybe face doesn''t fit , who knows !!

[quote user="grefstad"][quote user="Snakepit Ric"]Pilks was injured for there goal. He had his hand up waiting to come off !![/quote] Ehh.. Pilks made a meal of it, applying for offside and forgot to track Morison. Terrible from Pilks[/quote] Was joking mate. Him and snoddy both fell asleep for it
