That really is a bleedin disgrace! I was livid at the time as I had such a great view-we couldn't protest as Sheff were busy re-starting and almost scoring at the other end :mad: :mad: :mad:

And would've won 2-1. Unless you are about to go all Butterfly Effect on me..

Not sure about Ball, I think he's a good sub option for when we need to chase it late on and go long, but his shocking shanked shot today didn't inspire confidence. I still think it's more of a negative in that pick a target man=defenders hoofing it all game, much as it was when Platt started...

Still, you thought a draw was likely, remember? I was dreading a lot worse than that-I was actually impressed, which after the Nuneaton debacle, seemed unlikely this season!

Cohen would not approve: make it up to him by having him as the soundtrack to your special moment in Switzerland. Probably be just right for slipping away to ;)

One of the big positives for me was having two strikers capable of keeping up with each other-and after all, one striker assisted the other for the goal tonight. For all his efforts-and indeed impact as a gutsy sub-Platt set up precious few goals. For me Platt was too much of a...

I don't like to slag our players off, but that was one poor showing by him tonight. He got a bit better second half, and fair play to the fella that his head didn't drop and he tried to make up for his numerous errors. The hospital pass to Hussey first half after brilliant inter-play by Hussey...

Yup, stark raving bonkers :) Would Platt have buried that chance like Elliott? Would he have had the pace and energy to close down better than any City forward since Morrell? Sure we played too many high balls, but they were mostly by Murphy from goal-kicks and panicy clearances. Once the...

First half wasn't great but second half was lovely. Some of the best individual displays from players in a City shirt in yonks, and as the cohesion & chemistry increased second half we played passing moves that we just didn't last season. Having a side of senior pro's really does show you what...

Did you really not enjoy it Grendel? I thought it was good, and more than that exciting in that the players will only get better as they gain fitness and team chemistry. I feel a bit gutted that we threw away a lead and had a perfectly good goal chalked off, but otherwise I'm kinda buzzin...

No, just pointing out that he did some good things as well. What are you, a Man City fan? :p

I'll say it again, 3 fantastic through balls second half, Cyrus doesn't have the technique or vision to pull off that kind of pass! I noted them as they were right in front of me.

Cody and Elliott were also clearly superb at communicating with each other, as evidenced by the goal. We may lack an aerial presence, but now that I've seen how well the new signings can pass a ball on the deck, we shouldn't need it from open play. Wood and Malaga give plenty of that from...

It was over the line by miles: a couple of Sheff U players started to protest to the ref before realising the numpty lino hadn't given it.

Exactly, he wasn't dire, did some good stuff for a guy clearly out of position, but looks like he has poor concentration and an error in him. Like tonight...which cost us the goal.

Yes, after last season, literally unbelievable! Quick over 10 yards too-always sprinting into position to cover. Bit like Doyle the year he led the divisions Opta stats for miles ran, but much better with the ball when he got it (which he did by winning countless 40-60 tackles). He has a much...

Remember what Platt said about us not having talkers? Not any more: Wood, Jennings and particularly Kilbane were constantly talking to players and getting them into the right position. Shame we didn't give Barton the ball more-anyone else notice that he spent the majority of the first half in 30...

I missed that, but then I think Fake Twat are shite.

They sold out: it took my mate 25 minutes to find the Head Steward, who managed to find him a copy after he complained like only old age pensioners can! Pathetic though, really: that's the earliest we've got there for a game in two years, and it's the first time he hasn't got a programme. I...

Feels different to me: some real battling characters in Jennings, Elliott, Malaga and the returning Wood. I also liked a few of Bartons tackles-he won one with a studs up effort, and nearly killed the opposition player with the one he was booked for! So much for "shirks challenges", eh PNE? I'm...
