Mister Chops 7 Posted August 22, 2010 [quote user="dylanisabaddog"]Why all the negativity about our performance yesterday? We created more chances to score than Swansea. OK, they had a lot of possession, but the penalty incident and one other occasion in the 2nd half were the only times they looked like scoring.[/quote]It was a bit like the Leeds match last year, I thought - they had plenty of the ball in midfield but we pressed them and kept it just tight enough, and then scored at the end (except we scored twice, just to rub it in).

flecky76 0 Posted August 22, 2010 Very accurate report Darren, I agree with what you have said there. for the record, it was actually Crofts who headed wide from the first half corner, not Holty.As for Wes, like you mention on his day he can be a match winner for us, but when its not his day, do you feel it is as if we are playing with 10 men? That''s almost how it felt to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farkes The Herald Angels 0 Posted August 22, 2010 I agree with most of what is said in the report. For much of the game we were piss poor. I thought Swansea were the better side for much of the game, but didn''t know where the goal wasFor those who say ''why all the negativity?'' my answer is that we played poorly for a lot of the time. Left them with way too much space, allowed their strikers too much time on the ball, too many passes going no-where and no-one taking the game by the scruff of the neck and generating some passion.There were some good performances (e.g. Ward and Ruddy), but too many individuals were way below parBut, most importantly we just didn''t seem to gel as a team.That doesn''t mean I''m getting on anyone''s back or moaning that this is the start of a trend, or maoning at all in factJust what I saw and feltOnwards and upwards to the next game - and as others have said, if we can play below par and win that cannot be bad....

Steve White 24 Posted August 22, 2010 am exiled City fan now living in Sweden - only get back occasionally to see the boys. However, have seen a couple of matches on our Swedish TV this season, including yesterdays match, and therefore was able to judge your report on how I saw things. I am pleased to say that it Was very much as I saw it and now know that I can rely on your reporting for a good description of the game - it complements Ricardo´s also excellent pieces. Keep it up! we were lucky to get all three points, but positives are Ruddy and Wards performances and Jackson getting off the mark. Two weeks ago after the Watford game the former two were quoted as being our two week links - yesterday they were probably the two, along with Nelson who kept us in the game.
