Contratulations to Ipswich Town (Ashton, Rolls & Burns included).
Birmingham struggled in recent seasons, so I'm not surprised about this relegation.
No preferences for the playoff, but I see Leeds as favourite.
Shame to end our league campaign with a thrashing, but I'm quite satisfied with our season and the finishing place: this City side is not playoff material yet, and if you add a managerial change and the usual injury problems, I don't think we could have asked for much more..
Another positive: our penalty ratio has increased, not something many of us would have predicted!
Not sure we can build something important from this period of good results, especially considering that some players will probably leave...but a positive run is always nice, so well done Liam & the lads!
Superb win.
In the second half they were much better until our goal (really lucky with that gift to Vardy ), then we did well to protect the advantage and had some good moments upfront too. In the first half we were the better team, so overall a deserved result.
Watching the game on DAZN Italy.
In the reverse fixture we did a good defensive job and they needed a penalty to win; honestly I expect a much harder game today, but...COYR!
Tidy for 30 minutes or so, then we gave away the ball stupidly too many times; midfield's passing was not bad, a few sparks going forward, decent overall.
Cornick our best player so far, McCrorie not enough concentrated, Williams too nervous.
Optimistic answer: inconsistency.
Pessimistic answer: Saints, West Ham & co. having a bad day allowed us to perform better than our poor standard.
Then the tactical aspects (see Scrumpys message) are also to be considered.
