    No disgrace - though I feel we were lucky with some of the ref's decisions.
    Looking forward to Saturday and we can concentrate on reaching the play-offs,

    We've played 3 matches against PL teams and drew them all. I'll take that.

    Edit: What a night for Jamal & Todd! <applause>

    It was a good penalty, but Caballero had obviously watched his last penalty.

    A few weeks ago I was genuinely worried about relegation. Now I believe there are the makings of a very good team indeed in this squad as long as we can keep the best young players. Football is so unpredictable.

    I just hope this doesn't have the same effect on our league games as the performance at Arsenal seems to have done. If we can carry this kind of form forward, there's no reason why we can't make the play-offs as we are only six points behind.

    Fingers crossed for Sheff Utd game. A win and we will probably still be six points from sixth place, but only three off Sheff Utd, which seemed highly unlikely not so long ago.

    Great performance, especially by Jamal and Zimmerman. Well done you yellows.

    Also just want to say a few words of support for the ref. I think he got the second decision wrong and we were lucky, but he wasn't a homer and he wasn't willing to be bullied by the Chelsea players. (And if Pedro had not tried so blatantly to cheat, the ref might ironically have been more disposed towards believing the player in the second incident).

    Especially since we have very recently been refereed by the execrable and utterly incompetent Mr Hooper, it was nice to see some proof that there are a few good refs around.

    great effort from the lads tonight but I'm convinced this will have bolloxed us for Saturday. Nelson was spent, Pinto buggered and even Zimmbo had some cramp. Saturday is seriously going to test the powers of the great undefeated Tettey.
    Zimmerman was my man of the match, Reed was terrible for 20 minutes, he just doesn', have the same great defensive instincts of Tettey. but he was
    great for the rest of the time he was on. he was everywhere.
    What a game from Lewis too. Everyone of them was good, even Vrancic although he still looked lazy and slow at times.

    Bah!

    Well done City - just woke up and watched the highlights. Great goal for Jamal - what a cracking prospect he is.

    Well done lads and if any of the players look in on our site I must apologise for our petulant 3 year old, the rest of us could see how hard you all worked! <cheers>

    We'll I thought it was a tremendous performance by the whole team with loads of positives. Having seen the last two games, I'm impressed. I don't see the 'lazy' label for Vrancic who put in a shift both games and both sides of the ball. He's not a 'work-rate' player like Reed, but he's there when it matters. I thought we'd struggle without Trybull and Tettey, but except for the torrid first 20 minutes they coped very well. The defense was solid except for their goal and Gunn was imperious. The confidence is there again and Lewis and Cantwell looked very much at home on a PL pitch. Great stuff!
