old_eastender Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 When we manage to get forward and get the ball down on the floor, we look capable of getting another. But warning signs there with Bents having to make 2 neat saves in last 5 mins to keep our lead, we have to stay switched on. Quote Link to comment

Cardiff are a real handful, but we are doing our work. They have had some good chances but we are fighting hard. When we go forward we look like we can pull them apart at any time. What I also note this season is that it is hard to pick out poor performances in the side, everyone is doing their bit. Not a hope City are going to be anywhere near a relegation battle with the application we now have. So good to see the players playing as a team and working for each other. We are men this year whereas last year it look like we were watching a kids team play in the wrong league Quote Link to comment

That's why he will never get you more than a dozen over a season. Quote Link to comment

Agree, we are much more workmanlike throughout the team and immediately look to go forward. So often last season it looked like we had no idea what to do with the ball and generally settled for going backwards or square. Big 45 minutes coming up, the next goal will be critical.

TonyTonyTony Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Very pleasing performance and not being bullied. Defending has been good, from the entire team not just the defenders. Cardiff we really come at us but that’s an opportunity for counter attacks. COYR Quote Link to comment
Curr Avon Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 We have to watch out when HNM is isolated on the right and Vyner is drawn out having to deal with an overload. Too many crosses coming in to feel comfortable. Quote Link to comment
pl00peh91 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I do think a team is a reflection of their manager. Under LJ we were a small team often technically good but equally often bullied against the big teams. Under Pearson we are much more aggressive and physical and whilst we may be more direct I actually find it much more pleasing on the eye than the constant sidewards passes we were subjected to 5 Quote Link to comment

Be fair though; if City were losing, you'ld want the Cardiff keeper to have made at least two fine saves for them to stay ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment
