Agree with all that. Too many armchair dwellers imagine that to play well City have to completely dominate from start to finish and never experience any peril. It’s never going to happen, that’s simply not how football works.
On about sneaking into the ground. That was a good game to watch, end to end, and you didn't know who was going to win until the dying minutes. The fact it was played in front of four empty stands is a travesty. Both teams should have been applauded off too a standing ovation. If North Ferriby can play football in front of 300, the London Marathon can take part and as people as you like can wander through St Stephens Shopping Centre on a Saturday afternoon without the world coming to an end then surely a way can be found to get at least a quarter of the capacity inside the KComm, and other grounds for that matter on a Saturday afternoon ?
Didn't see the game today but delighted with another win and great to keep nicking tight games. How was Batty today? I have to admit I'm not a big fan, as don't think he protects the back four at all well. Saw a comment that he looked spent half way through the second half but maybe that's because he had been very effective up to then?
He started really well but he faded as the match went on. Our players get tired and we're not replacing them, so they lose impact.
Really exciting game with some lovely football from both sides. Some of our moves were gorgeous. Deserved the win for dominant attacking first half and dogged defending in second half.
He made one particularly excellent save I am sure Long wouldn't have. His handling and general demeanour inspire more confidence than Long does.
Good game that, exciting, entertaining, although nail biting towards end 2nd half, with some back to the wall, last ditch defending, well played Burke. Plymouth played their part & made a game of it. It seems that we have now found our level, at least it's exciting again and we have an enthusiastic team to support, busting a gut and working for each other. I still have a dislike of McCann, but cannot knock 4/4. (Cue, the women are never satisfied comments) I thought Burke & Jordy looked more settled, hopefully a run of good results will settle them further. Ingram makes a difference for me, inspiring confidence. Makes a change this season to see positive options on the bench. Onwards & upwards.
Another good result. We’ll play a team off the park this season and lose...guaranteed. Stay safe everyone. UTT.
Summing up spot on.Politics not clinical decisions are crippling the game at virtually all levels!!!The SPFL& Scottish FA have heavily criticised measures today I'd hope to see the same response in England..
The bloke who was on was actually called Grant. Sounded more deluded than our manager at the end of last season did. Think he was just defending his name to be honest.
Nouble gave him the run around a bit first half but that was sorted at half time. Did very well in possession and kept us ticking. He tired but worked his bollocks off
On the tiredness front, the fixture list has been pretty congested at the start so far - losing to West Ham, in the long run, will be a boost to keeping some players available each game. We don't play midweek again for a few weeks, which will be a boost because after that we play 5 games in 14 days.
