I feel like a few people have forgotten just how awful we were last winter. Those last couple of months under Holden were just dreadful.

We are miles away from last season, still a worry but looking so much better

agree, but needs some points to reflect that improvement in style

I wish you hadn't reminded me

[City_USA]

Nice save Bents

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Great save from Bentley

[Lanterne Rouge]

Save Bents.

[Dan Robin]

Another save by Dan.

[old_eastender]

neat save bents, but crazy room given to Cardiff to cross it in the first place

[dargla]

I'm feeling more confident a few games in now, I don't think we will be in a relegation battle. I would say mid table finish. 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

! minute added.

[Davefevs]

nice photographers save

[Slippin cider]

Some fine saves from Bents 

[GlastonburyRed]

Joe Williams decent on comms! Carrying a heavy cold though.

[dargla]

A very good save by Bents. 

[RedRock]

Excellent half. Haven’t said that for a while! 
 

Well done lads.

[City_USA]

1st half...job done

[old_eastender]

another neat save from Bents from Bacuna, HT 0-1

Huge slice of luck for the winger with the rebound though.

[Garland-sweden]

So far so good. COYR!!!

[CiderHider]

Looking good.

[The Original OTIB]

Getting drawn into too many long balls and head tennis. Keep it down and we wear them out. They are very immobile.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Bentley saving again, to keep us in front, well done boy's!

[Dan Robin]

Good to be ahead but too many chances for them: maybe more bodies in midfield could give us more control?

Come on ! My stream works now finally for the second half.

I hope we get 3 points today. And maybe we get an approach of keeping the ball more and don't let them attack that much. Come on !

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Good first half, very well organised. I know people used to go on about how good Fam was at defending set pieces but Chris Martin been every bit as good in this first half.

[cityexile]

Not much in it really, worked hard, looked decent enough and maybe on the balance of play slightly fortunate to be a goal up, opposite of Swansea really.

looking like what we are, a solid enough mid table team that will win some lose some. Given where we are, will be delighted with that.

[Ivorguy]

Great first half by City.  Good defending good movement forward.  The left side looks far sounder with Baker and Pring.

Three cheers for Nige in terms of team selection and the blending of a side.  Looks far better than recent seasons.
 

[M.D]

Matty James and Andy King are a step ahead from what we have had for the last year or so..

Just need a goal scorer now!

Weimann has 3 already in 4.5 games

[Davefevs]

That's a pretty decent first half against a team like Cardiff who ask you a lot of questions.

Had a good spell in the middle and Martin and Weimann causing them lots of problems with one dropping / one spinning.  None of their 3 CBs want to go with the "dropper", dos we get a bit of space.

Got to say the ball rarely runs for us, a couple of real 'nearly' moments.

Lot of hard work needed second half, can't let Cardiff have a spell.

Pring bloody excellent so far.
