Does hunt go forward and provide an out on the right hand flank moreso than Pisano? I only ask as this is where I thought some momentum was lost and the attack broke down in the 2nd half. Huge result tonight well done You Reds. Totally agree, lost something when Hunt went off but fully get why LJ did so and it was the right call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All around were very confident that we’d already won! I said to the guy next to me that WBA have some of the best players which pull other players away from the ball to create gaps on the park and that’s what they did second half. City first half were very impressive but I have to give credit to WBA for their second half performance, a very dangerous side when wounded. Great win I wasn't really confident but I generally put on a brave face. I'll only relax at 3-0 when it's physically impossible to score that many in the added time remaining. A couple of times after their second goal I caught myself trying to avoid watching their corners/free kicks and had a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozzarian Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Tonight was one of those days you treasure. The start, the team spirit, the lack of ego, the immense crowd - especially when lifting the team in the final minutes - the quality, the players geeing up the crowd, the joy the players all showed at the result, the selflessness, loan players clearly feeling as part of it as permanent signings, Johnson finally showing he HAS got it....but most of all, Fammy. Fammy and his totally love for the club, for his getting the crowd going in the final moments and for playing maybe the fourth or fifth game in a row at a level that says 'I AM good enough.' Tonight was one of those days you treasure. Get something at Villa and beat Reading and it may be time to start believing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some great players going forward, but this was not Wolves, who, let’s be fair, looked an absolute cut above all over. This. Strikers to win the league, defenders to get relegated.

And Fammy, what a shift that was. yes we suddenly realised were not actually a bad side and deserved to be winning, long may they continue to believe in themselves.

I need the rest of my holiday here in Barbados to recover from that! As I posted elsewhere I came across a place here called Speightstown which is known as Little Bristol, but given the local bars decor I could not watch the game there! Off now to enjoy rum punch ++++ Probably best you didn't watch the second half no amount of rum would have prepared you for that, happy days though enjoy the sun !!!

I am happy. Nice derby to lose bad boro to win but we have one game in hand. Damn, with the two points from last matchday we will had been so comfortable 7 points in front. We still great, if we win at Villa which is hard, we make 100% the playoffs. Thanks for this great game, finally i see on tv a great game and I look forward to buy a fly ticket and a ticket for a game in Premier League next year. Who knows, maybe this is our year.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 2 hours ago, 054123 said: Why were we lucky? Do you mean when da Silva hit the post or when Elisson megged the keeper st the back stick but it trickles wide, it when Kalas’ header was just about palmed over? We weren’t lucky mate. I agree with this. Yes O'Leary made 2 great saves with his feet, but as you rightly point out the Da Silva, Eliasson chances both really close. Had forgotten about the Kalas header but yes that too! We also won despite replacing Hunt after 26 mins with a more conservative, ring rusty Pisano. Necessary though the substitution was, it cost us an important attacking outlet which affected our game plan for while. Yeah 2nd half was tough and the win was hard earned perhaps, but people shouldn't have any doubts- because rightly earned it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back to before the international break who would have though we would come away with wins from Sheff U Boro and West Brom. ? If most were honest nobody, which is why we all love football so much and long may they continue to surprise us. (city that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Their second goal, their main threat for a header was left not only unmarked but with no one within 3 yards of him as the throw came in and the bugger was standing still. Otherwise excellent performance all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to tell her that it’s not like that every week, especially the first 20 minutes. We held on in the end and the players looked tired, but to to win against an ex prem outfit was a good result. If Jay’s shot had gone in we might have been able to breathe a bit easier, but the missus enjoyed it and she said she’d go again. Her ex was a staunch Gashead too, so it makes it even more sweeter But being city it's usually like that for the last twenty minutes, and being a virgin( football wise) being battered for the last 20 minutes is probably something you might have to explain to her!!! and as for her going again are you sure you're up to it HA!

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 One other pleasing aspect about tonight. Back in September we went to West Brom and lost 4-2. Albeit with one of our best performances of the season. In that game we could have been 3-0 up in the first 15 I think it was. Very nice to set that straight!

If Gayle played for us he would be on 25+ by now and I would prefer Fam to Jrod as well. Hopefully at the end of the season he's regretting not joining us, a dish best served cold?

Gayle was never remotely interested in coming here. Paper talk and a bit of PR to make it look like we were still trying to sign a proven striker. Andre Gray was the one who was lined up to come here, until the deal was renegotiated into not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
