Ebiowei- another decent game always a threat , just needs to improve on delivery.
Slater - battling performance and well taken goal
Mcloughlin- a cool and calm performance at the back . Played some decent forward passes.
Referee rubbish again.
The local commentary was racist- kept calling Tufan ' the Turk ' .
They are a poor side and were there for the taking .
Come on City
 
Slater. For the excellent goal
Traore. For the excellent pass for the goal
Ebiowe. For trying to be positive

Reading were terrible and should not have been allowed to get back into the game
The referee was so poor throughout
As many have said, we are so slow with our build up allowing the opposition to get back defending too easily
No sign of urgency or confidence across the team to bury teams like Reading
Liked Liams appointment & attitude but now starting to feel he can’t Coach a side to do the things he wants. Not a promotion manager?

****s sake. He's 4 months into his first permanent job. He's improved us so far. Who knows if he's a promotion manager or not?

Is a Billic or Corberan or Mowbray or 'insert name here' a promotion manager 4 months into any appointment?

Probably not.

Give Liam a chance . It takes time

Coyle/Seri
Ebiowe.
Awful referee. In the Prem Ebiowe's cross/shot which struck the outstretched arm would have been a penalty all day long.
Two mediocre mid table teams so the draw was not a surprise. The city commentator had Reading lining up in a '5-3-3 formation' so with that in mind City did well to get a point.

I'll give you that but he's 1 in how many?

Anyway, given Boro's propensity to bottle the playoffs, he still has work to do yet.
They’re also full of experienced championship heads. Howson, Lenihan, Smith. Could do worse than trying to pick off a few of their squad should they go up as a lot of them won’t be deemed good enough for the top flight.

But non of those you mentioned are remotely top class...

Howson would improve our midfield 10 fold. Lenihan walks into our back line too.

Majority of the teams in this division don’t have top class players they have steady heads who do their job every week. Aside from our back line (most of the time) and Seri we have a team of inconsistent, impotent, overrated and overpaid players

Howson is 34.... since at Middlesbrough he's played 216 games scoring 6 goals .... Lenihan is 29 he's only played 21 times for Boro... His career at 29 is 225 games and 7 goals... he's no step up on McLoughlin who is only 26 (better with age) and has scored 6 goals in 131 games.... he is Irish though.

Two ex Tiger strikers getting the goals!

Bit like Coyle in the week.
