The weather seems pretty dry when it was lashing it down on Sunday and for a few seconds on that clip i spotted a City scarf produced that i haven't seen the likes of knocking around for a while,it was definitely an older style scarf although i know some people take older ones to the match.
It wouldn't be the first time old footage has been dug up and used to beat us with.

That's why if we don't get well ahead in a game we will often see a period of dominance change quickly to being under the cosh and if we concede one we look like conceding more.
They don't believe in their ability to cope with pressure and that is down to the system we play. We play high line, high risk football and it clearly doesn't work against either technically gifted teams or high energy teams. We beat mediocrity but struggle when up against it. We became flat track bullies and lost the belief to fight.
It's all about the system and the players belief in it.

But shouldn't the manager recognise the failings and get off his backside and into the technical area and start waving his arms around and yelling at his players. Other managers get quite animated when things are not going to their plans. Our manager just sinks lower into his seat.KnaresboroughBlue said:Gelsons Dad said:Actually it's not a lack of pride or passion or respect.

Good post. We saw in the first 20 mins that there was no lack of desire to win. We are trying to play a high line defence with pressing and we just don't have the players that can sustain that and when it drops off (as it did after 20 mins) we have a disorganised mess with no structure that leaves lots of space in the midfield and you just cannot do that with a high line.
