We've scored more than anyone else at home, and are a bit unlucky not to have more points from these home games, but the squad is totally unbalanced. 11 technically good players don't make a winning team. This is what the Hughes Out brigade ignore. They think we're under-performing, because we've got good players, whereas the truth of it is the mix is wrong......otherwise Ossie Ardiles would have won the League with Spurs

We need to trade one of the attacking midfielders for a player with an all-round game.

Robinho, and SWP signings tipped us over the edge, and the loss of Michael Johnson hasn't helped

Was our team more balanced last season?
 
It seems we have conceded 20 of our 28 goals in the SECOND half, and 16 of the 28 have been right around the six yard box, and 10 of those 28 have been from crosses and corners, and five of those 28 have been in the last 10 minutes.

Interpreting stats requires context, we all know that, but we have context if we've been watching...

Our midfield saved us last year, and it's doing it again this season. Our midfielders are expected to defend and attack and link and it's ridiculous. Our major problems are at the back and right at the front.
 
At the end of the day ourselves, and any other person concered with football realises that City are more of an attacking than defensive team at the moment. I think Allerdyce will focus on a strong defence tomorrow. Attacking won't be the main priority because I assume he is knows that if he stops us scoring, the goals will sort themselves out.

The league this year is a straneg one, and the top 6 spots are for the taking from practically anyone. It's a matter of a good run of games, something that City haven't been able to put together yet. Who knows, maybe yesterday was a turning point? Let's be honest though, this is City and we're unpredictable.

No
 
we just need to take each game as it comes and try to build off the back of the hull game. if we sign some quality in january then that will help. especially in attack and midfield for games such as wigan and bolton where we could have won had we had some muscle in the middle as we are too lightweight in these areas

Agreed, and we need someone who can hold the team together.

Dunne has been a great servant and can still play a part but we need a leader on the pitch and Dunne is not it.

The fact is we have struggled against each and every team prepared to close down and fight. We have been weak and bullied far far to easily by all and sundry this season. Any idiot of a manager knows (which may say something about Phill Brown) that if you leave space for City to play they will murder you. But can you see Allerdyce allowing Blackburn to play like Hull or Arsanal or Portsmouth on Sunday?? No chance. They will fight, batter, bully, kick and do whatever to ensure the points are theirs. So I'm sorry to be the messenger of doom but we will lose far more than we will win and we could still be in bother come April-May. I sincerely hope this is not the case, but unless and untill the management introduce some spine and good old-fashioned backbone into this team we will continue to 'flatter to decieve'. Still whatever happens on Sunday, we do have the window to look forward to but we really need some players through the team who can and will turn up and scrap. Marry them to the obvious flair and talent we have and we may be onto something, but again I say we need to learn how to scrap for points or others will take them off us.

This!!

Why bother?
