Just listening to TalkSport and they reckon we're playing 442 with Bogle and Paterson up-front. Defending from the front????
Knew it was going to go wrong when linesman missed 2 obvious city corners and a throw in. Ref missed a blatant penalty for foul on Hoilett. Ref books Bogle for a routine foul but fails to book Barrow and Kelly for similar. Morrison has to go off. City have made their keeper work. All ours has done is pick it out of the net after 2 flukes from Reading. Although why we conceded those 2 corners was due to poor play but Reading were like this last season, average, lucky and beat us twice. They can’t have an easier opportunity to win when playing with 14 men and having so much luck.
how many points have we picked up from losing positions? great team spirit and more tactical nous from Warnock. Seemed to have got selection wrong to start but made some big decisions and turned things around. Not sure many managers would have had the knowledge or balls to make the changes he did when he did. Glad he's in our dug out.
Well done City. Excellent 2nd half performance fully merited a point. Again excellent substitution even though I’d have had Paterson off at half time. Over 90 minutes against that ref and all the 1st half bad luck it was a fantastic result. Bamba man of the match
Grudging congratulations - obviously I was hoping for a Reading win for obvious reasons. Only saw the second half but seemed well deserved - Reading have themselves to blame. Still - gained 2 points on you this week Had to be Tom Tum too!!
Just got home from game. Great result in the end but we were woeful in defence first half. Manga as a right back has been well and truly found out. Peltier has to play there Saturday even if Morrison is fit. Morro got a groin strain in first five mins. Slipped while taking a throw in I think. Patterson looked a fish out of water and did little creative - for us anyway. Bamba was immense as usual. Hoilett toiled hard but got out muscled too often. Ralls and Damour got out numbered in the middle. Much improved second half when we managed to restrict balls to their very dangerous wide players. Our fans were superb and kept up vocal support even when 2 down and struggling. The players must have got a real lift from that, especially when we got one back. Now how many Prediction League points do I get for a correct result and score? Only Bogle let me down. Will we have a fit striker for Saturday and what was wrong with Ward and Bryson?
Surely Brizzle have now used up all their luck quota this season. Unbelievably fortuitous first 2 goals at Hull, twice sneaked narrow wins against 10 men plus survived Sheff U hitting the woodwork FOUR times.
