0-4 Irrelevant who we're up against, it's their fucking reserves - a total change of 11. I cant remember what game it was last season, it wasn't Peterborough at home, it was the one after that - I called it and said we wouldn't win another game that season. We ended up scraping one other win - 3-2 at scunthorpe when we didnt everything we could to throw it away. Bowyer is carrying the same shit into this season. Its shit like this that got Collins fired. Unbeaten in the league M9. Get a grip.

I have this funny smell in my nostrils, I’ve smelt it very recently for far too long....oh yes that’s it, I think we might actually be a bit fucked here. I aren’t talking about this game in isolation, this has all the hallmarks of last season...I hope I’m wrong obviously but we have a manager seemingly oblivious to the obvious flaws in the team. A massive redundant hole in the middle of the park and a serious lack of goals. I get that it’s PNE but there has to be some sign of promise/performance, at the moment there is nothing.

I don’t know what Bowyer’s trying to do here. Its fucking bizarre. If it's anything other than trying to make us a bit shit to get a few more signings in, we're fucked.

I don’t know what Bowyer’s trying to do here. A few more matches where he persists with 433, Doyle, Anderson etc especially if we get another raping like tonight and the fans will turn on him. People can accept some forms of shit, persisting with the same obviously wrong decisions over and over will lose the fans once and for all.

He's a dead man walking if we don't win convincingly on Saturday.

Absolutely nothing changes for me. Bring in 2 quality midfielders and we'll be alright. Don't and it's going to be a long season.
Getting thrashed by Championship opposition is not exactly shock of the century.

Don't forget Rhodes is boss again, he won't sack a manager until he has no choice.
It's all starting to feel a little predictable isn't it.

I don’t know what Bowyer’s trying to do here. It's odd. He says all the right things in the press, he attends meetings for the sycophantic supporters, he signs a couple of decent strikers. Makes you think he's bedding in for a decent stint here. Then he makes these bizarre choices on match day and doesn't change it for next time when it hasn't worked. Odd.

Especially Doyle as a lone striker.

He was probably concerned with playing a 2 man midfield and sacrificed a striker to get an extra man in there, which is understandable given the opposition Another tactical fuck up vs Oldham and he can get fucked.

Doyle’s history suggests a limited player but one that scores goals by the hatful at this level and the one above. He’s a box player pouncing on breaks and rebounds and lapping up through balls and crosses in and around the six yard box. He comes here, however, and we seem to think he can play behind the front two, as a lone forward and/ or as a target man. We need to see Doyle given a run with simple instructions that suit his game; basically as a sophisticated version of the school yard Johnny liner. Then we can all dismiss him as shite with a clear conscience. Similarly with Reeves. A defensive, sitting midfielder his whole career and we decide he’s better suited as an attacking, breaking, box-to-box midfielder that he’s never been in his whole life. It’s no wonder the lad’s got depression. Sold a dream, shifted to the grim North and had his work and passion ruined by this career graveyard of a club and the ‘experts’ we attract. It’s not good enough any more. Incidentally, even with depression he’d walk into that midfield. Akpan and Anderson need a serious fucking if they lack pride and a P45 if they lack ability. I’ve no time for deadweight cunts sucking the life out of us any more.

Especially Doyle as a lone striker. Doyle as the lone striker or Doyle as a number 10. Both seem very odd to any City fan. It's like he's got some inflated opinion of Doyle's ability as a footballer. He's a fox in the box who gets into very good positions in there but sadly fluffs too many chances. He's nothing else.

He's tactically retarded or he's doing it on purpose to get more money. Either way he's a cunt

I kind of agree with TA that a couple of midfield signings would fix a lot but given Bowyers persistence with Doyle out of position and Anderson starting games I’m losing confidence that he can sort it. Then you’ve got fucking Akpan, Jesus wept.

No wingers, Doyle desperately needing a strike partner but only having Miller for company, Akpan and Wright as midfield options, big names such as Payne and Butterfield not pulling their weight etc. He deserves the flack for his odd decisions this season but it's not like he's done it 10 games on the trot. The first game was bound to be partly experimental, his one mistake so far was persisting with it vs Grimsby. Do it again vs Oldham and I'm 100% with you. Longirdge at LB, not playing Doyle in the hole and starting Scannell are the obvious changes he needs to make.

I’ve no time for deadweight cunts sucking the life out of us any more. That bottom line is telling because its how i feel right now. I watched Preston tonight, a small but well run club, establishing itself as a championship club and a very good tactically astute manager. They have a good squad of players that played a decent brand of football tonight, albeit against the football league version of the dog and duck second eleven. I'd heard Bowyer using Preston as some sort of yardstick to aim for as an example of where we want to be in the future. Fuck off. We are light years away from being any where near that. We are a club with no fucking structure whatsoever, a squad made up of mainly over rated, over paid league 2 shitkickers, a player whom hasn't played for what seems like a decade, another likely to never play for us again, a manager bashing the fuck out of square pegs in the misconception that they will definitely fit in those round holes. I admit, i got carried away with the pre season hype, the nice guy eddie routine, the calm 'he cares about us' demeanour. And yet so far, 3 games on the bounce i've had the life squeezed out of me by a manager trying to prove a point. 3 fucking games in and we are questioning, with some fairness, what the fuck BowyerS is actually doing. Really not sure i can take a season of this.
