So..what wonderful team will our Bread Man select tonight?
As he now likes to spread his selection across our wonderfully thin squad will Jude the Cat and the Tea Ladies get a run out.

Certainly I will be surprised if Sheffield do not throw the kitchen sink at us from the start. Please please Mr Bread Man (sounds like a song title ) do not continue with faffing at the back if so we are not Man City.
Looking it another way we are due a win I suppose but I’m not holding my breath.

Well that was a predictable team selection and result. One attempt in the game yet again.

No shots on target this afternoon & one tame header this evening

Jeff Hendrick passed the ball back from the centre circle on one occasion
In fact, did he pass the ball forward during his participation?

Crosses poor, struggling to find any positives......

That Hendrick pass back to our keeper was at the end of a classic passage of play that started with a free kick to us inside the Sheffield half. After some magnificent sideways passing moves the team managed to create defence out of a promising attacking position.
We are now a team of individuals not a team and playing in the main as if they’ve lost the Manager. Even Chair seems to have given in to the mediocrity with several very poor balls into the area and he is our creativity!

All too common in recent games.
It's as if we're playing with 4 or 5 Ray Wilkins.....but with none of his flair or creativity.
