Sorry I'm a bit annoyed that someone missed a sitter from 6 yards and has put in poor performances on countless occasions..what's your assessment then?

That he's not shit. 

He's a young player, academy graduate, doing his best, has a great eye for a pass, and there's no reason to call him shit; that's my view.

I hate ‘false 9’ with a passion. Another nail in the coffin of football as I loved it

[CambridgeRover]

Is Buckley okay? He just ran back to our own half when we were in attack????

[WacoRover]

So, we aren’t winning possession like a year ago. Has TM scrapped his possession based attack, or are we not strong enough to keep possession, or something else? 

[jim mk2]

Gallagher's limited but he'd be so much better playing in his best position in the centre. I actually feel sorry for him

So do I, but it probably suits us if Dolan plays there

I got it Stuart. 🤷‍♂️

I still don’t get it!

In other news, Pickering playing well and Gallagher’s header attempt is doing anything to help @Boz’s theory that he’s short sighted. 

[Cherry Blue]

Dolan needs to work harder on shooting.

[Tugay-is-God]

Glad to hear Dolan is working on his shooting!

Get him putting his foot through the ball a bit.

[den9112]

Buckley not looking comfortable up to now ..

[Bigdoggsteel]

We look ok,  this is a decent 11.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good man 👍

[Stuart]

These commentators were so keen to have a pop at Dolan they completely ignored that fact that we were still on the attack.

Looks like he’s going to get the Rothwell treatment this season as Neil and Warren sign from Mowbray’s hymn sheet.

Ohh for a Pacey frontman with power , team is crying out for one 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ayala is high quality....

Please don't mess up...

He's looked solid so far this season. Be great to keep him fit.

Rothwell having a very good game too.

I really hate this false 9 nonsense - the only team that has ever consistently got results from it had literally the greatest player in world football in the position... even City with their embarrassment of riches struggle without an out-and-out striker.

So why on earth do we think we can do it with a young winger with no creativity at either side of him? It boggles the mind, it really does.

Lenihan loves that 60 yard diagonal ball..... it never works

[OldEwoodBlue]

This is really shit as expected.

Only thing worse is our commentators.

We look totally lost.

[neophox]

Will Clarkson get a half? 

[CambridgeRover]

Not even Nyambe's pace could have saved that shit ball from Lenihan

Are you mad? Mogadon wants all the Citeh kids, so he's showing Pep how he can do false 9 shit like

You wrote Bucket instead of Buckley. Pail of water.

Lose their edge a bit when we have to go through all this. 😆

[Bigdoggsteel]

We are afraid to hit quick passed in the final third 

[Fraserkirky]

Look much better at the back this season so far. Far less pricking about going on. Rothwell is a rolls Royce of a player.

Dolan is an impact sub at best
