I'm with you NT.
It's a perfect description of us this year. Collectively and some individuals.

We are the best footballing side in the country, if anyone goes tow to toe and actually try and play football, we will beat them. However, I wish it was that simple. The players should also give 100% effort and this has not been the case on too many occasions. We should not have to carry passengers. Burnley are SHIT, really SHIT, but they each gave 100%. Not 1 of the burnley players came off that pitch thinking I could have tried harder. 11 of the City players did, thats the difference.

Absolutley true, but the reason we didn't beat Burnley, or Newcastle for that matter, was because we were shit.

We had the ball most of the time so didn't need to run after it. But we had no spark for beating people like Ben Mee. It's not just City either. Chelsea are the same, they have just got away with it more.

What makes it more annoying/baffling is that last season we smashed teams like that. Again and again. If we knew exactly what has changed we are back in business and still in the hunt. Sadly, I don't think the management actually can put their finger on it, so we will be likely scratching our heads in a few more fixtures this season

Pellers mentioned again this week that we need to trust in the system. That said it all for me.

In cricket it may mean something different but this is not cricket.

we're all right and i'll give up now.
got to start training for my fight with the shandy boy herb
anyway...
we can't beat anyone at the moment

We couldn't beat our dicks with a jar of Vaseline and a selection from the Christy Canyon library.

Cheers

Actually managed it today, apart from not scoring ten.

Story of our season have missed tons of chances Everton away we should have gone in 4-0 hung on for 1-1 Boro in the cup 5- 0 at half time we lose. Chelseaa t home Silva missed from 2 yards twice. Scum we missed loads of chances should have had a penalty and them down to 9, hanging on in the end.
