Yes, when you set up to counter you do so in a low block to invite the opposition onto you. It's effective and something we *can* be quite good at, but it's something you normally see around 60 minutes, not less than halfway through the first half.
If the referee was in his way which he was he should have just collided with him
I don’t even really want to dwell on it or talk about it. It will ruin my weekend. I know we’re still in the top six but I can see us falling out of it. People saying Brum, Leicester and Charlton are easy games obviously don’t know City that well.
Good post...All three are scraping for something. Taken them lightly will be massive mistake....
I don’t think they are easy but I do think they are easier than the game we had today.
Charlton likely safe by the time we play them. If Brum win tomorrow against Wrexham they are all but safe too. Leicester under severe pressure
It could well be typical City against all of them but still loads to play for. That’s the point I was making.
Lundstram should never wear the shirt again. Let down 2.5k travelling fans. Was crap before the sending off nearly giving them a goal from a corner. Let him play with the U21s for rest of the season.
Top 6 is still in our hands regardless of what Wrexham do tomorrow. It looks like us, Wrexham and Derby vying for 6th, there are no easy games and there will be slip-ups. Derby seem to be the form side of the 3 just now but they're also furthest adrift.
Keep the faith, it's not over 'til it's over!
There are three ways they could overtake us by the end of next weekend.
Win twice in a row and we lose to Birmingham. They end up two points ahead.
Win twice in a row and we draw with Birmingham. They end up one point ahead.
Win and then draw and we lose against Birmingham. They go ahead on goal difference.
To properly consolidate their position above us they’d have to win the game after that too – and we’d have to fail to win again. Therefore, they really need to win their next three games. You then have to consider how likely or unlikely it is that we’d lose three in a row (we haven’t this season) vs them winning three in a row (they’ve done this twice this season).
Birmingham have lost three in a row now so they’re also due a result.
After we went a goal up we had McBurnie's overhead kick cleared off the line and Belloumi's effort which was a very solid chance. Our play was obviously working as we should have been further ahead at half time. We've done it a lot this season and we're currently in a playoff place under a transfer embargo. The low block is 100% not the reason we lost today. I thought they played well until the madness ensued.
Regardless of sending off if the ref doesn’t give them a penalty just because he feels like it I think we probably still win that game.
We should have killed the game early in the first half but the ball never ended up in the net. But our luck was not holding up. McBurnies overhead kick is a good example, if the United player had been a few inches further back it would have probably been a goal. Early on in the season those chances were falling our way. Even when we were playing crap, today we had the game sewn up? before Lundstram and Joseph had their brain farts. Frustrating for all.
Agree. Get out of whatever you are doing on Tuesday 21st and get down to the King Power stadium to watch us secure a place in the play offs
What exactly is Jospeh supposed to do to stop their attacker doing whatever he wants? Joseph was thrown to the floor right before the corner was taken. Then it essentially happens again but this time he makes sure he drags the attacker down with him. We see the same **** when we attack corners because they want to get to the ball, but it always, always ends up as a free kick to the defending team when someone ends up on the floor. So why wasn't that the case this time?
Lundstram I half understand, because on a yellow he shouldn't have gone in like that - but if it weren't for the ref then the ball is his, and if it weren't for the ref he wouldn't have been on a yellow in the first place. It's completely mental how much the ref effected that game.
They need telling to plough through the ref if he's in the way. This happened against Sunderland under Walter and cost us a goal because the player tried to dance around the ref who was in the worst possible place. If the referee effects the game in play, they need to stop the game, just as they do if the ball hits the ref, which seems to be happening so much more often.
should have killed the game off didn't take our chances, a stupid sending off,we've had a good season so far
