It shows how much quality we are lacking when Swp, Stevie Ireland and Robinho are out, the side looks dismal, what do you think?

It's hard to do anythin' but agree with you.
Most City fans looked at our side yesterday , even at an erratic Portsmouth , and couldn't see how we were gonna win the game , especially with Ireland and SWP missing ....... that had absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the players who were obviously missing from action , more to do with the poor level of 'quality' that was left to actually do the job with!

Its been said a few times but most players were part of a team that finished 9th last season. They dont all just become sh*te overnight.
A quality team starts with a quality manager, soemone who can get the best of what he inherits as well as bringing in new players to improve the team and in Citys case, turn us into the team that ADUG expect and will get.
But it wont happen with what we have seen from this manager so far.
And believe, i would love to be proved wrong.

We only finished 9th because we had a good start, the 2nd half of the season was every bit as bad as it is now.

I give you that.
So you agree that there has been no improvement under MH?

Very little improvement, but we are scoring goals which was lacking last season

Agreed, but having a tally of goals scored only 2nd to Chelsea, while fantastic, is out-weighed heavily in performances, results and league position.
I dont give a toss about MH playing past, but i genuinly just want to see positives coming from him, even if its something that is going to take time to nurture. But apart from his luck in having £££s to spend, he has shown me absolutely nothing to hang my hat on.

If you join the second half of last season and the first half of this season we would be lucky to stay up....thus lacking in quality.

We also had the same central defensive partnership playing out of their skin.
You can`t put it all on mh toes.

Last season first half stats W10 D5 L4. Second half stats W5 D5 L9. Overall W15 D10 L13 and 55 points
This season first half stats W6 D3 L10 Second half so far W1 D1 L0.
However we still have to play 7 of the equivalent home games that we played in the first half of last season (and we W6 D1). If we do W10 D5 L4 again in the second half then we end up W16 D8 L14 and 56 points. It really depends on our away form but it's clear that we still don't have the quality to cover key absences. Once we do, we should be able to pick up the extra 8-9 points that will get us to the fringe of the top four.
