TheBaldOne66 697 Posted January 8 Not very clever is he? Saying the fixture list is to blame for City’s current problems! If that’s the level of intelligence of our players then we really are well and truly in trouble! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably just being a good boy and toeing the party line by parroting Wagner's narrative in the dressing room. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that’s the level of intelligence of our players then we really are well and truly in trouble! I'm more concerned that it is just another example of how poorly managed our club is. Who in their right mind would authorise such a ridiculous statement from a player. He is right though about the fixture list being to blame. Most of the teams we have been scheduled to play are better than us. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 173 Posted January 8 This will be the next line trotted out for the next 3 months now most of our injuries have passed and we're still abysmal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,271 Posted January 8 Odd statement to be fair. I didn't hear no one complaining when we had that easier run in the lead-up to the Binners game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,355 Posted January 8 This really is scraping the barrel. Next thing some player or other will be wheeled out to say it was a bit parky last Saturday which explains why they never got going. Unbelievable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,769 Posted January 8 First it was all the fault of injuries now its all the fault of the fixtures. They'll say anything to keep Wagner in the job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 185 Posted January 8 Yep, we'd look a lot better than we do at the moment if it wasn't for them damned fixtures spoiling everything. "Injuries" -tick. "Fans"- tick. "Fixture list"- tick. What's next? "Heavy pitches"? "Mornings not as dark"? "High pollen count around the vegetable patch"? "Too much chlorine in the swimming pool"? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaberry2 554 Posted January 8 All clubs experience a squeeze due to excessive fixtures and injuries. Its a strange statement to come out. What is being put out by the club or lack of currently is quite worrying really. We are making serious lack of progress and apparently that is wholly acceptable to a club despite constantly stating promotion is the aim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,440 Posted January 8 If he is reflecting what other players are feeling then no wonder we are dishing out the performances on the pitch that we are. You want your players to be buzzing, not looking for excuses but explaining how much they are looking forward to the next game to show everyone how good they are. Recidivism at its worst (or best depending on your point of view). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 531 Posted January 8 Wagner has primed him to say this, as he's run out of excuses himself and to get the heat off his back 😅 Its a ridiculous statement to make Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Channon’s Windmill 327 Posted January 8 Bit odd coming from this player in particular, he hasn’t exactly been overworked this season, if Sara had said it I would have a little more sympathy. As it is it’s just another in the long list from the excuse book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walcombe canary 69 Posted January 8 I do hope Our Board have read this report, and all have their head in their hands. It is a poor statement. Another day and the story is that they, the players, want to test themselves against the better teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well there we have the Z Gen, as Jody said, When I was 19 I used to work 6 days a week starting at 7 with overtime, then train on a Tuesday & Thursday, played Saturday afternoon and after a good night out be up at 9:30 for the Sunday morning 10:15 kick off! Two games a weekend no issue! They don’t know they’re born do they! 😂😂😂😂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
