Total scratch side thanks to injuries and it looked it. McClure made the starting eleven but clearly wasn't ready and was subbed just before the hour. First half was pretty even but second half City looked, which to be fair they pretty much are, like a team of strangers and failed to even pass...
Went into yesterday's game with 8 first teamers missing..then had both Leadbitter and McClure limp off. The injuries are mullering us.
Sion Spence and Kennedy Digie are apparently out till end of Dec/Jan.
Kieran Phillips out till December. No idea when James, O'Sullivan or Mitford might be...
Injuries caught up with us tonight. 8 first teamers out tonight (including Mitford who scored both on Saturday) and then Morgan again going off injured. 1 all at the break but BPA got a second, another poor choice of keeping from Hall leading to it. He's costing us goals continually and frankly...
You're missing out. Watching expansive, free flowing attacking football must be a novelty for you guys with your crab like sideways, tippy tappy pointless football he's got you playing. We had the same under Mansell, boring.
More fucking injuries after tonight but would take a point regardless of late equaliser given we have half a squad out. Remarkable what King has done and I'm all for total shithousery frankly as we've been far too nice and naive in the past. Only time we started playing the game that way was...
Hard fought 2-1 win at Alfreton yesterday. First half we raced out of the blocks and really should have been 3 up at half time. Kieran Phillips bagging another two but missed a bit of a sitter for his third. Looks a completely different player under King. Brandon Hall dropped an absolute clanger...
Didn't see that one coming! Not a single new signing, and 2 down within about ten minutes. Really thought we were on for an absolute hiding.. First half was poor but McClure managed to get a goal back before the half and we had a bit of a fighting chance.
Second half, God knows what Steven King...
And we're out with another abject performance. Barely any passes forward, King was yelling at them to get it forward - they kept going backwards. Merthyr goal was a total embarrassment, dog shit defending. They thoroughly deserved the win. Final whistle went and O'Sullivan, club captain mind...
Steve King appointed. On paper this is exactly what we needed. Hopefully Lee Mansell's mates who are flooding social media now get bored and go back to hating on Joey Barton.
