Summary
All downhill from here?
Matt Davies-Adams has got Simon Johnson and Sam Parkin alongside him for a look back on the 3-0 defeat dished out to the Blues by a far superior Manchester City.
Why was the second half showing so poor? Would Enzo Fernandez have made any difference if he wasn't on the naughty step? And does it feel like it's now only a matter of time before the club move on from Liam Rosenior's tenure with things seemingly souring quickly - and results and performances continuing to deteriorate?
There is at least a bit of positivity to come out of Cobham for the U18's and U21's in their respective leagues.
We'll be back on Thursday with a look ahead to the visit of Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Simon Johnson & Sam Parkin
PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
