1. We often struggle to beat dour well-organised teams. Well, we didn''t really learn anything from that, as that''s been a City trait for the 30 years I''ve been watching them.2. Daniel Farke doesn''t realise that you''re allowed to make a substitution before the 70th minute.3. We''re very much a work in progress.4. That work in progress could go either way.5. We''ll have learnt enough to make a meaningful judgement about the team''s prospects for the season by the end of October. Though if we capitulate like we did at Millwall and Villa at Bramall Lane on Saturday then we can probably make that judgement earlier.

We make limited tactical changes and we leave it very late to make them.

Josh needs to be a lot more demonstrative (although I think we knew that before).

On another day with the same team and tactics we''d have won that game. My only criticism is that we didn''t seem to have a plan B for when plan A didn''t look like it was going to work. We certainly could have asked more difficult questions of the opposition although much of our poor showing can be attributed to our ineffectual finishing. Roll on Saturday.

More spectacularly against Brum, but also against Beurton our finishing was poor. Maybe someone should tell Farke that "clinical" in English footballing terms is considered a good thing.

1. We havent conceded a league goal in two games since Timm Klose came back in the team.

2. We havent conceded a league goal in two games since Russell Martin was removed from the team.

3. We havent conceded a league goal in two games since Ivo Pinto was made captain.

4. We havent lost in two games since 1 to 3 above happened.

5. Some people still arent happy.
