You Sexy Thang, methinks. 😉

I don’t really understand why the same team has practically started all three games in a week. Especially with two long away trips. Switch out the full backs Stacey and Cristene for Fisher and Doyle just something to give the team some energy.

[Dean Coneys boots 1,550]

It’s grim to watch. Players look beat to me - and there is nothing on the bench in any case. Almost looking forward to international break!

Good shout. Modern full-backs often cover the most ground. And it might give our midfield something to hit.

[unique 466]

As most attacks seem to break down once the ball reaches Carnac, is it time to reassess?

Totally agree. I think long needed dropping and youth given a chance. I also think we might be better with Doyle centrally and Chrisene at Lb 

[canarydan23 4,821]

Duffy on whilst Cordoba comes off?!

That's as bat**** as starting Long.

Oh...

Our best back 4 is Chrisene, Cordoba, Doyle, Fisher. Really worrying they're not seeing something so obvious.

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,700]

The old Chrisene Stacy double change. He loves that one.

[Midlands Yellow 4,704]

Game over. 

[baldy09 200]

No Excuse again today = where is the effort again from our so called fringe players- perhaps a stint for Yarmouth town could be in order to help them realize how lucky they are to play for city

Schwartau can control a ball further than Í can kick it😒

It's called a first time ball mate 😘

[cambridgeshire canary 7,913]

We give it away, they pass it twice and it's in the back of the net.

[Indy 3,492]

Duffy giving the ball away yet again! 

[robertociNCFC 108]

Too easy to go through us, really sloppy giveaway yet again. I understand about the injuries but we just look so disjointed.

[Herman 11,178]

Feckin rubbish.

[Worthy Nigelton 1,329]

We've signed a load of players who can't run. As Roy Keane always says, football's a running game. 

[Dean Coneys boots 1,550]

So easy to play against. They can let us have all possession and just strike on the break and almost certainly score. Keep this up and we will be in a relegation fight not a promotion push

Lol. Not often I show prescience but this **** up cost us a goal.

Absolutely ridiculous decision. Duffy ****s up. Again. And again. And again.

That was terrible attempt at a pass.

Shane Duff-up from Derry.

And doesn’t work, again.

[All the Germans 1,244]

So, to be clear, we think Duffy is terrible again? I get mixed up.

[shefcanary 3,072]

Yep poor from Duffy, but Doyle get ****ing closer to your man! 

[S_81 1,135]

There’s some really poor players in this squad. And some of them are always in the staring 11 too - but carried by our current injuries. 
And the manager’s style of play doesn’t work for many of them either. We cause ourselves far too many problems. 

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,700]

Injuries aside, today midfield is a JHT midfield and Knapper signings.

I think we're all clear that you're not watching the game. No one watching would need to ask.

[Virtual reality 862]

The January window is going to need to be something special to salvage this season 

[Jim Smith 2,641]

Why the f**k do our defenders and midfielders just back off and allow people to run at our box and shoot. It’s pathetic. Why has Duffy been left on (the worst culprit) and Cordoba taken off.

the fact we have no strikers and no pace in the squad today is a huge black mark for Knapper. It’s not acceptable for a championship club.

The pity is we have a good squad and a good first team but the injuries and Kenny’s suspension are killing our season snd have exposed the squad limitations. I can’t recall us ever losing to three worse teams in the space of a week. 

[Jim Smith 2,641]

Watch Duffy for that goal. Turns his back and runs away from their player giving him a clear run and free pass to the scorer. He’s a liability as he has no pace so continually drops off.
