Thought we did OK. City not at their best. We were generally competitive. Excellent displays from Kongolo (though very lucky not to concede a pen) Hogg and Puncheon (who looks every inch a premier league player of the sort we failed to sign in the summer.

Graeme Souness just said we never laid a glove on them, hard to argue with that. Citeh looked like they were sleepwalking How Sourpuss gets that gig I’ve got no idea. He’s clueless and always negative, real competition for some people here.

Stick your CV in Oti... I'm sure it'd get a first scan by the recruiters before being shreddedframed... There are people who see all in the same way there are those who can cobble together a sailing boat from carrots and a biscuit tin. Thoughts are myriad and sentences limited. I would not have let Lee Clark drive my car. Peter Jackson i would have given the reins/keys to Liverpool. Brains/bottle go far. You see, intellect and drive together are invincible. I could manage Town as well as anyone the last 40 years....no doubt in my mind. If you live a thousand lives all is possible....stop over-valuing ex-footballers as managers...most are morons. Utter BSer

That was one of the most boring games I've seen. City were playing at walking pace and not doing a great deal with the ball, we had a 5 minute spell in the 1st half of getting at them and that was about it. Diakhaby is useless. He can run fast but that's it - he can't control the ball, pass it or dribble with it. A total waste of £10m. So what did Hudson see? Love the balls to mix it up. Mounie is shite but still our best option.

Didn't think much of Puncheon today tbh. At fault for the 3rd and didn't seem to affect the game too much. Hogg was by miles our best player IMO.

Good lad. When your head is ready to come out from the sand give me a shout for a pull. I think close to our worst performance this season. What's your issue that you just seek attention all the time? No, just a realist. Have to call it as it is Fishy. The team we fielded today would be near the bottom of the Championship. If you think they did well then you are part of the reason why we cant compete. MILES away.

Graeme Souness just said we never laid a glove on them, hard to argue with that. Citeh looked like they were sleepwalking That 2nd goal gave them the cushion. Another one where we didn't get the rub. (Sane off & Sterling was off & still active enough to score the goal - which is why I hate this shitty offside rule) From there on, it was always about game mgmt, the 3rd goal was just a cherry on top for them. love the term 'game management' as though its the plan to let mounie have a very close shot and a decent header... seeing the game out is not about the opposition missing chances its about stopping them having them??? 2nd goal was offside, first was a big deflection, 3rd we gave them.. lossl has not made a save of note and Hogg was motm for both sides.. They didnt push on in the second half because we had a 'threat', ffs almost the first time this season we played forward instead of holding it up, going sidewards or backwards.. the love in with Wagner has to stop.. we had ceased to be a goal threat in total and the opposition knew it.. the idea of losing by a goal without ever looking like we might win the game was pernicious and sapped the enthusiasm of the team and the support, today was better and we lost by 3..

Excellent displays from Kongolo (though very lucky not to concede a pen) Hogg and Puncheon (who looks every inch a premier league player of the sort we failed to sign in the summer. Kongola is very one footed. He regularly makes awkward looking tackles due to this. Still played very well. Hogg was great at breaking things up. He should be immense in the Champ and better than when we were there last. He's still a long way short of Mooy and Billing in possession, but he's much improved. If we have a young squad, I'd be looking to keep Puncheon. He was constantly talking, giving advice.

Fuck me...already had 15 harder jobs. Its man management and talent spotting. As i write this the chairman of a big European club rocks up recommending a player!

Because they actually know about football, outside of the Swedish 7th division. You thought Billing was a league 1 player at best. Some real talent spotting right there.

Strange game, bit subdued by both teams. Obviously Hudson was going for the 'soak up the pressure and hit them on the break with pace' option but we barely troubled City, one or two bright spots but nothing to get excited about. The only problem with the pace option is that all Mbenza and Diakhaby have in the locker, no end end product or quality. Hogg decent though. Second goal clearly offside but City had a stone wall penalty waved away, swings and roundabouts I guess. Nice to see us go forward a bit more without looking to go backwards or sideways first.

I thought he was very quiet and really didn't affect the game at all. Hogg was brilliant though, and even played a few good through balls. He'll be immense in the Championship.

On SUSSED's Dunning - Kruger link, which is nicely found by the way: "As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability" Bloody spot on.

I gave Puncheon some credit, but that was more about him seeming to give advice to our inexperienced players. Otherwise, he was very assured in possession, but was fairly anonymous and played the loose ball that resulted in their third.

Good to see us actually put the ball in to the box from free kicks in their half where we would normally pass it short before eventually losing it. When you're struggling for goals it seems stupid to pass up any opportunity to get it in the mixer

If you are unable to see how well he kept the ball, win throws, looked positive and played passes to players in appropriate positions to receive, then I seriously question your judgement on any football related matter. Your claim about management of the football team is the sign of a narcissist - ask yourself when the last time you thought you made a mistake was. If the answer is more than half-an-hour, you are a narcissist.

Seems a few others who agreed must also know nothing about football. And I have no idea what the hell you mean by that last bit.

I had the pleasure of listening to TalkSport today, something I’ve never done before. Towards the end of the game one of the commentators stated that he “couldn’t believe that with all the money being thrown about by the Premier League, there was such a gulf between two teams” - not a direct quote, but same content. Words escape me.

Lads on Talksport have just given us a right pasting. Was it really that bad? Bored out of my head today, even managed to break another record walking out on 73 minutes. Championship football can’t come quick enough for me, where hopefully we can start winning games and feel like we actually belong their!
