I can't imagine either Manager will be happy with the goals when they come to review them. Poor defending by both teams.

Another draw for the team that never draw. Pretty good performance overall that as was the one away at Watford. It appears to me that BBD has been asked to do more defending in our half than to stay up top, hence his lack of chances. Still though he had four shots tonight and one goal, not too shabby really.
To Dunn FC, who is Adam Wharton signing for then, City or Arsenal?
I don’t know if you have watched the games lately but the whole team is defending because we cannot keep the ball in oppositions half. If we get the ball up to an offensive midfielder or if we are really lucky to Dolan or Gallagher it doesn’t take long until we lose it.

Does anyone remember when we actually were the better team offensively last time? I can’t really remember that as we are defending almost all the time…

Watford at home early on in the season.

That's because we don't have a decent back to goal target man at no 9. The failed Gallagher experiment has gone on too long.

Time to promote and support from within. We simply can’t afford a proper number nine under the current owners, time they sold up.

You are right but this season we have gotten worse in the final third over every decision re; final pass, one two's down the wing, I've never ever seen us so poor in the final third. It was never as bad as it under Mowbray so it's good to be a coaching thing?
