Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted August 21, 2016 So frustrating. Four games in and no change from last seasons mistakes: 1) We are still waiting too late for vital signings2) AN unable to stick to a settled team/ too much tinkering 3) players signed but barely played 4) non performing players picked regardless 5) others unable to get a look in6) strange team selections 7) zero ability to change games and show a plan BWe should have beaten that lot by at least two goals but the same old, same old holds us back.

KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted August 21, 2016 You''re stranger than his team selections tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted August 21, 2016 I really don''t understand the persistence with Naismith. With him and Wes in the same team we just overplay all of the time, have no pace, width or directness.The attack breaks down almost everytime it gets to Naismith.

vos 155 Posted August 21, 2016 Agree. Same old stuff - far too much elaborate close passing - loosing possession. All very well to keep calling for a new striker, but apart from a well taken goal, very little created. Bad substitution. Mulumbu was our best player and far more influential than Tettey. Far too complacent with lack of drive, particularly in the secondhalf. Neill does not seem to be able to motivate them. Ipswich first minute goal should have stood.

Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted August 21, 2016 Jeez, I have stumbled upon the official pantwetters thread.Why do you bother DCB?If it frustrates you that much, please naff off and follow Ipswich and their agricultural team of hoofballers.Plenty to moan about after 13 years of sh1te at the same level down there.

Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted August 21, 2016 I am not pant wetting nor all doom and gloom. But frustrated- eg can see we are so close to being brilliant but held back by the things I listed. And why does my having questions to ask equate to a need to support Ipswich? And there was me thinking the point of a board like this is to- you know- debate?! Question?

City 2nd 191 Posted August 21, 2016 I simply cannot see it''s a pathetic post when the manager in his post match interview suggests City has the best chances to win the game. Really! What chances? I''m afraid, like his team selections, he is a lost soul, pant wetting or not. It was in all honesty a dreadful performance from a poor team put together by a manager who pre season lamented that he was going to ''attack'' teams! And then goes on to indicate that no striker reinforcements are forthcoming, in fact, it''s likely there won''t be! Get ready for the long haul! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted August 21, 2016 DC, you know that if you post anything remotely negative you''re a pant wetter and anything remotely positive, you''re a happy clapper. These are the rules of the keyboard warriors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted August 21, 2016 Clint, if he posts something objective or balanced then great but there is a constant stream of whinging and threads to moan at the club.Plenty of clubs would love to be in our position...Blackpool, Portsmouth, Coventry. Bolton.Take it for what it is, an unbeaten start to the season with plenty of excitement, twists and, yes some frustration along the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted August 21, 2016 As to balance- I have often posted positive stuff but have been very consistent and balanced in asking why we seem to be making all the same mistakes this reason as last. Last year those of us who questioned the board and transfer policy also got loads of abuse- and it proved true; we were relegated. Fail to sort them this year and we won''t go up.

Clint 221 Posted August 21, 2016 Yep, that''s the guy Squit. You will note I used the word ''almost'' and to be fair, I actually thought he''d cocked that up as well. But yes, he did manage a six yard pass to Howson, what else did he do? I would think his successful pass/dribble/shot rate is not really what you''d expect from an £8.5m player.

A Load of Squit 5,161 Posted August 21, 2016 Naismith had the presence of mind to leave the ball to a player who was in a better position to find the goal scorer, he was involved in the goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,298 Posted August 21, 2016 Brilliant, in that case if he starts on the bench he''ll have a hell of a game!It''s not like he created anything but because Wes gave him a shout to leave it he gets a credit.....talk about scraping the barrel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,161 Posted August 21, 2016 So if a player ''dummied'' the ball and his team scored he wouldn''t be involved in that goal?If a player made a run and took out a defender and the space he created allowed the team to score he wouldn''t be involved in that goal?
