Today Mogga showed how shrewd he is & his attention to detail.

He knew that Burton are just long ball merchants and made a tactical change with personal.

Switch Ricketts to Right back and put in the equally tall Martin to nullify the long ball.

Burton hardly had a sniff and their two wingers (who were defo danger men) were subbed!

Plus Burton didn't have a plan B.

Haven't seen this from a City manager in decades!




In went in off Ferguson's beard....

With respect, I think anyone would have made that change today and it was the obvious thing to do. I don't think that call makes him a technical genius!

Too right, official line is Phillips was ill, unofficial story is he threw his teddies out the pram when told he was sub.

If that is true he should be shipped out on loan and another right back bought in. No room for dissenting voices in a winning squad.
