We do not deserve to be behind. Our football is really good. Chair for Smith and Wells for Hugill should happen before to long. From the refs pre-match notes: No cards for Brizzle players today!
Half Time. 0-1. No keeper has made a save. We have played good positive football. But we are 1-0 down. A real feeling of an unfair result, but all we could really ask for is 0-0, as we did not have one shot in target all half, despite our great play. A very strange match. Positive and very attractive football by the R’s, but no end product!
We don't deserve to be a goal down at HT, but we need to create more near their goal.. BOS got a yellow at the end of the half and maybe he will be replaced, he's given their back hell and he wanted a red for him, but BOS final touch or cross haven't been quite good enough.
Matt Smith has done some really good and some really bad things in the first half. Not sure about him yet, but he must have something if he belongs to Citeh .
I didn't quite know what to think of him in the cup game the other night. He made one mistake but played ok for the rest. But Pugh looked a great player the other night. I'd like to see him come on.
As I watch our team I am reminded about the fine balance between “effectivity” and “efficiency”. We are today a style that is “purist” and very pleasing to the eye. City are just more efficient in front of goal. The current result is as if is and is not in our favour.
