Weimann proved me wrong today: great performance.

Glad to see us winning again: do the same against Stoke and the table could look much better...

 

I'm not surprised. Even back in pre season in Florida, it was clear that Deano is a big fan of Andi. He even said to me that he wouldn't be surprised if he was our top goal scorer. Unfortunately LJ couldn't get that out of him

Sorry City USA, not having a go at you personally, but the use of superlatives is so overdone in language now, it is silly.

Weimann had an average to good match today. I would not say that any City player was "great" today. Efficient, organised, solid, hard working come to mind. I am pleased for the win. It wasn't easy against the long ball, long throw in Warnock methods but we stood up to it and took a good proportion of our chances.

Did anyone else think that Boro' looked a far better side after he made changes like taking off Shotton, the long throw specialist, and replacing him with smaller more creative players. So perhaps old age is affecting Warnock's match planning. Hee hee!

Please, anyone suggesting Holden permanently take a moment to realise that the performance and W is down to backing the quality players we have to play their game alongside a basic level of tactical plan and discipline. Scientific shackles off - play football. 
 

Yes, he’s done a good job, but Guardiola he is not. If you’re excited by what Holden can do, imagine what Hughton can do.

No need to apologise, this is a forum where everyone deserves an opinion. I was just trying to point out how effective man management can be. When a player has the trust of his manager it usually gets a response.

He was asked and he said “I respect the question but I’m just focusing on the next game and preparing the players” 

Fair play, I missed that. Just played a straight bat on Radio Bristol, saying this game can bite you on the backside if you take your eye off the ball. He has all the sayings.

Great assists by Weimann and  excellent finishing by Wells and Paterson.

Could have (should have) won by more.

Clean sheet would have been a bonus.

 

I was just going to add that Weimann linked up very well with the pair of them. One of Nahki’s best games in a City shirt I thought.

Excellent performance. We totally dominated and the one touch football was sublime.  For the first time in ages, we looked like a team that knew each other.

A couple more performances like that might earn Dean Holden the top job.  No coincidence that we put out a fairly settled unchanged team.

Our run in is good compared to the team's above us, so a win on Wednesday may have me thinking the unthinkable.

Balls to that, I'd love it if he got them relegated. If only to dampen down the hero worship that some of our fans have with him.

It's not hero worship but just due respect for what he has achieved in the game.  Some need to remove their blindfolds, grow up and file their unfounded negativity in the bin where it belongs. At the end of the day what manager since Alan Dicks have we had that comes anywhere near Warnock. Answers on the back of a postage stamp please.

A fair point but it took 9 seasons for Alan Dicks to gain promotion to the 1st Division. Name me a championship owner prepared to give a manager that amount of time these days. Certainly, no City manager since Dicks has been given that amount of time.
