City v Brighton

[Hesperus]

I can't believe there isn't a young CM who we can at least give 10 to 15 at the end of the game

Well there are TBH. Mcatee and O'Reilly But seems the decision is not to give them a go. Perplexing given we're aren't doing well with the establishment.

KDB looked committed when he came on. I believe that they all are, whether they are still capable at the top level is another matter. Gundo looks to have gone, Bernard also looks like he might have gone over the hill. Maybe KDB has too but I was hoping for him to come on sooner yesterday, I reckon he will hit some killer passes for us yet.

The issue is that too many have gone or are going at the same time. The replacements need time. Marmoush was the one bright spot in an otherwise fire day yesterday though. We could do with Phil finding form too. And Jack finding fitness and form. The wingers need to find end product, both look the part when going at defenders but then all too often don't find the final ball or finish.

At the back, I despair of some of our calamitous defending this season. Obviously, the injuries have taken their toll but we seem very accident prone and incredibly easy to break down.

Part of the reason for calamity defending is the middle not tracking runners; bloody annoying
