We were never under serious pressure at any point in yesterday's game, yet conceded two cheap goals. Similar to QPR.
As improved as we are going forward, we're carrying a L1 defence. There's no getting away from this.
This is why Porteous should have been our first signing.

The goalkeeper position really is the least of our problems, so fail to understand the meltdown about Rushworth.

If there was an overload, yes. But there wasn't. There was ONE Boro player out wide.

Coyle should have engaged with HIS man, with Alzate already in position to cover.

I'm not cheerleading Kamara (I'd take a different view if it was a marauding Boro full back), but it's basic stuff.

This is a hill I'm willing to die on, but it's the full back's job to stop the cross, just as it was against Preston.

Kamara doesn't help himself sometimes, but he's been shafted here.

For all the lack of quality, there was absolutely zero leadership on the pitch again today.
Need an horrible Ashbee type character to captain this team.

Great feeling to win at last, and richly deserved.
The players scrapped for it, something that's been missing virtually all season.
Lovely goal by Burstow.

Been barking for weeks that our plight wasn't just on Walter. Look at the amount of players strolling around and losing 50/50s.
Other than Palmer and Simons, that half was a disgrace.
Still 45 to go, but...
1. Go 3-5-2.
2. Bring Giles on down left.
3. STOP fucking around at the back.

Observation I've made over the past few days though is some of my connections are starting to post stuff I don't want to see on my feed.

Not an issue for me and entirely your choice of course, but please don't be offended if I unfollow you.

Only reason I came on here was to talk about City rather than wade through the political shite on X where people try and impose their views on you rather than debate. It's toxic.

It's enlightening and I'm loving the City faithful connections made on here. Most of it is a great read.

As much as Walter didn't help himself, and the sacking was 100% correct, last night was bordering on 'mutinous' by the players.

Many had downed tools and were barely trying to score in the 2nd half. Last time I remember something like this was Jan Molby.

They're as culpable as he was.

There is a bigger picture though. Would Rosey's name keep coming up so much if Acun had a solid succession plan in place?

I think Walterball has created a lot of revisionism about Rosey's football, I often found it dour (personal opinion).
BUT... he created a fantastic culture at the club, players and fans liked him.
The good outweighed the bad and his sacking was disproportionate.

Genuinely reached a turning point and questioning whether I can be arsed to go on Tuesday, especially against them fucking neanderthals.
With 2 or 3 exceptions, home games have been a dour experience for a long, long time, some of which preceded Walterball.

Walter out... sure.
But please let's not give the divvies on the pitch a free pass.
Can't cross, can't finish.
