Docherty - ran his socks off Seri - some nice passes and he was always available for the ball . A minus was him loosing the ball for their second . Figoraido - played well on his recall to start. Come on City .
Seri, who I thought had a decent game, besides being pushed over in the move that led to their second goal. Docherty at least put some effort in Figoraido, good comeback from the lad after the nightmare at Swansea. Three shirts that won't need washing for Wednesday have the names of Tufan, Sinik and Pelkas on the back of them. Same ref we had for the Stoke home game and he was shocking then. Didn't think there was a need to give Brum a goal start from the first bit of pushing in the box at the first corner, but he did. Do any of you remember someone warning, 'be careful what you wish for?',
First half hard to pick.... one piece of sublime skill from Seri... Second half... 1. Doc not pretty but he keeps on running.... and running... thats all we can ask for.... 2. A N Other 3. A N Other Just a side note.... a good save from Baxter but he doesn't inspire confidence...
According to Sofascore, Docherty won 2 of 15 challenges, while Dogukan is 1/9. This team definetely lacks physical presence, with %68 possesion you can only play tiki-taka but you have to do it in opposition half, not in your area. To be honest I am not sure that kind of footbal is suitable for Championship, talent-wise.
Seri Doc Figs I thought we where the better side in the 1st half. 2nd half was poor. Playing like individuals.
Docherty - tried to get us moving forward Seri - decent 1st half but like the rest faded in the second Figueredo - One of his better games for us
Pelkas - Created 2 chances - one for Doc, one for Christie Christie - involved in 2 chances with shot Fig - Superior in air, almost win everything but once he feeded opponent with great chance Bad ones: Greaves - not mobile enough for full back, caused penalty, don't know what was his intention on right side of the pitch in second goal, left hell of a empty space behind on left side, this guy is definetely not a full back Doc - lost most of challenges - 2/14 duel rate is not acceptable, but fair play to lad he ran a lot and stuck in, just needs to get better Tufan - gave possesion away too cheaply - twice, one of them caused second penalty
