canarydan23 4,762 Posted February 28, 2023 That was my boy's second ever match. I had to tell him not to expect going to football to always be like that! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,762 Posted February 28, 2023 I remember someone near me shouted a massive moan at Vrancic when he misplaced a pass and stuck it straight out for a Millwall throw in that led to their corner. Then barely a minute later Vrancic is teeing up Pukki with a lovely through ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted February 28, 2023 I was right behind the goal for this one, just amazing ! To the point where one of our goals at the end, I couldn't see the striker hit the ball because the goalkeeper was in the way LOL, I just saw it coming past him into the net.  We should also remember that we conceded the first goal, and when we'd got back to 2-1 in front, we then let them score 2 goals quickly so we were losing 3-2. Not something Wagner would find acceptable....  The recent win at Coventry is probably up there with this one in a lot of ways for me.

Not only was it a somewhat unexpected promotion (sold all our "best players" and "who the f*ck is Buendia") - the style of it was just phenomenal. Farke's second promotion was also brilliant but will never be looked upon the same what with us not being to experience it in person.

I know some fans say that our two recent seasons in the Prem have been embarrassing, but which would you prefer? To be Crystal Palace and be lower mid-table Premier League nonentities for what seems like forever, or have these incredible ups and downs which our club has given us? The seasons since we went down to League One have been fantastic. It's been a great time to be a City supporter. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted February 28, 2023 Also this game illustrated us switching off from the restart which was another regular feature of the team under Farke.  it was a fantastic game but watching this it wasn’t a surprise that we struggled defensively the next season in the Prem!

keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted February 28, 2023 Millwall v Luton tonight. Draw the best result for us and then beat Millwall would put us above them and a better GD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,633 Posted February 28, 2023 A close third that season, behind Hernandez at home to Forest and Vrancic at home to Sheff Wed. Incredible season. Didn’t we turn a game around late against Millwall in Lamberts champ season too, definitely a last minute winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
