They'd have looked far less good if today's back four had started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good response to the Brighton result. I have a glitch, keep getting these replies that I didn't start, and 'locks' you you until you add something Anyone else?

reddogkev Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Absolutely bloody fantastic result today. Very impressive. Glad to have overtaken another team in the league. Hopefully we can continue our fine form and overtake Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe.....but they targeted Vyner as any opposition would and Pearce in nowhere as accomplished as Baker but they'd still have beaten us - but probably not by 4.

Maybe, but I still maintain that playing against a two man defence will make any team look significantly better than they would against the full complement. I also think that sentence would benefit from some comma's, but I can't work out where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this level, (2nd tier), we have to go back to the 1905-06 season. City lost the first game 5-1 at home then won the next fourteen games; Eight home and six away. Of course if this current team wish to win seven consecutive away games, I'll not complain. Sorry folks, I forgot the 1972-73 season when City seemed to do better away than at home. There was a sequence of five away games; Orient 2-0, QPR 1-1 and then three consecutive wins; Cardiff 3-1, Portsmouth 3-0 and Oxford 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton were excellent and one of, if not the best side I've seen seen AG so far this season. They were too good for us and a 4-0 win for them was well deserved. Had Vyner not played the result would have been different... Simple as that really!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's harsh to point the finger at a young player in his second first team game. That said maybe Brighton would have scored 3 rather than 4 had he not played.

The first 3 goals all came through Vyner mistakes, the first came in a period where we were on top, the mistakes arguably changed the course of the game in my opinion... Not pointing the finger just stating facts that the result could have been much different had we not gifted them those first half goals!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman is a very good footballer with respect to his ball control. That aspect would be good enough for Premier league. That is how I remember him when playing against us for Stevenage. However the down side when you see him week in week out is that he does not have an eye for defence splitting passes like Tomlin and his shots at goal are rarely on target. He always tries hard but I do wonder if we will become one of City's "nearly but not quite" players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two headers and nothing else. We played far better football than them. It was theft! Not the way I remember it. I recall thinking we could play until next month and still not score against them. Not exciting to watch but very effective. I suppose I should clarify "best" as the team most likely to win. Middlesbrough and Hull didn't at any time make me think "this is hopeless."
