    City odds on @ 4/6 to win and I hate risking more than bookie. So just put £40 on City leading at both half time and full time @ 6/4.

    I'd go for the win, but we've been short of first half goals.
    I don't know if it just takes time for our tactics to tire oposition out or some other reason.

    We need to be more direct instead of trying to walk the ball in. Get the ball out wide and across the face of the goal - something will happen.

    The way we're playing is ok, but mixing it up from time to time wouldn't hurt.
    I understand there is a difference between being direct and going route 1. Mixing it up would cause oposition problems and with Salech we have someone who could benefit, or create opportunity for others, from more direct play, as we've discussed before.
    Bagan often get in a wide position to swing a cross over, but usually doesn't.

    Wind is crazy in the suburb with less than an hour to go, could play a big part in the result. Masky’s hair is blowing wildly in the aforementioned wind, to the detriment of Masky’s normal impeccable appearance, so nobody should look at me (Masky). Such a wind in the situation of say, IB or BFB when the wind covers the face would be considered perhaps a blessing, not for them, but for all other persons concerned……bless you boys!

    Down on all the stats after 40 mins.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Robinson and Salech on at the same time.

    They were the better side because we stood off them and nearly paid the price.

    Never seen City give the other side so much time on the ball.

    Crazy game that one.

    So much analysis material for BBM and the coaching team.

    Subs made a very big difference. I was glad to see Zac starting but he was anonymous pretty much throughout his time on the pitch.
    Thought it should probably have been Wintle to get pulled for Turnbull but fair play it worked out in the end.

    Unless I'm mistaken,we pretty much matched them up with our subs and that allowed Kpakio and Kellyman to suddenly start finding space and boy, did the exploit it!!!

    Probably didn't deserve to win overall but after Tuesday I'll take it :emoticon-0107-sweat
