lharman7 39 Posted January 27, 2018 Great away result with a solid defensive display. First half thought we were excellent. Second half we defended our hearts out but the football was next to non existed with constant hoof balls.Frustrating but we got the job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,220 Posted January 27, 2018 fantastic first half, heavily defensive second but we weathered the storm.Not convinced the best option was to replace Nelson with a midfielder leaving us light up top for the last 10 minutes but I can''t really moan after what is really an impressive win.Play-offs still looking a bit of a challenge, 8 points adrift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted January 27, 2018 Four consecutive away Championship clean sheets............ first time since 2003Well done City !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,606 Posted January 27, 2018 That feels like the kind of game we''d have thrown away at the end under Neil- really good to have confidence in the defence. Just really want to see Nelson or Josh get on the scoresheet to get some confidence back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorset Canary 0 Posted January 27, 2018 Excellent effort from the boys today, certainly defended deep in the second half but we came away with all 3 points... OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,672 Posted January 27, 2018 Everyone worked hard today. Even Oliviera was a handful. Shame his confidence in front of goal is so low.Vrancic is just a quality, classy footballer. Think he might start to attract interest by the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,606 Posted January 27, 2018 @HoegsarHe''s really stepped up since this formation change- think it really suits him and explains why Farke was so keen on him as I think he always wanted to play a back 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,672 Posted January 27, 2018 I think playing in the advanced positions he wasnt as bad as some made out But his main attributes are his range and weight of passing, and theres not too much opportunity to do that in the final third. His ability to weight a ball over the top of an opposition defence time and time again is scarily good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A fine player with quick feet and equally quick brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 28, 2018 Didn''t see the match so would like to know how Reed played at right wing back?Although I love to see Pinto rampaging forward, his defending can be very loose at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Canary1 91 Posted January 28, 2018 Reed was in the main excellent KG, he was my MotM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted January 28, 2018 Reed did very well, but was left a bit exposed at times, needed a winger in front of him to offer an outlet / support, but stuck to the task brilliantly imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
