Well, that was a bit disappointing, they were marginally the better side IMO, so a draw is a fair result. However, going 2-1 up going into injury time it's disappointing to only draw.
Very disappointing not to see it out, even though it didn't sound like we deserved to win. Good teams win ugly. Would love to hear from anyone who was able to go whether Irvine was as anonymous as he sounded on the radio. I have to confess, I'm not at all convinced he's worth a place.
Just got back, I think a draw is a decent result. The first half was a big bank of **** for the first 43 mins, neither keeper had a save to make of note and our midfield was non existent. Grosicki's goal was brilliant, but almost certainly against the run of play. Second half we upped our game, Stewart became more involved we got our wide men on the ball a lot more. Irvine was frustrating, it's like every time he got the ball and had a choice to make, he made the wrong one. He's a great player, but today was not his day. Cardiff weren't that great to be honest, their both their goals came from the full back positions and we could have done more to stop them. Long was great in goal again, he's really enjoying himself at the moment and his distribution was a joy to behold. Not every keeper can do a pinpoint one handed kick up field to a moving player, but he nailed it every time he tried it. In the end it was disappointing to draw after going ahead twice, but on reflection, we didn't deserve to win so I guess a draw is good enough. Mid table beckons for this team, but that's all we really want isn't it? We aren't actually going along with the "we're aiming for the top 6" malarky are we?
I've come to accept that Kamil and Bowen will be leaving soon. But Long, Burke and De Wijs are playing so well that they will no doubt be courting interest too.
Irvine tonne of work couldn’t pass a ball Apart from missing the header for their equaliser Thought Fleming was repeatedly skinned Headed a few tho
We are potentially a good side. We have a real concentration issue defending a lead. We must be the team with the most points dropped from a winning position in the Championship. I thought we’d cracked it last week with a clean sheet and then we give away a couple of sloppy goals this week.
Somebody would have to do an interminable amount of statto work, but after 50 years of supporting City I would conjecture that we are top of this particular Satanic league.
Good when he gets it at his feet , but equally frustrating the way he stands still waiting for the ball instead of running in behind sometimes
So basically one week “we’ve cracked it” the very next we’ve a “A real concentration issue”...yeh? By order of the Peaky Binders no doubt... Allams OUT
When Goals conceded are like the ones today. Then yes, concentration issues. Well done you on following my post.
