Red Rum

20 attempts for city vs 10 for Cardiff. 6 on target for city vs 0 for Cardiff. Can't argue with that for an away game.

It's funny as, other than the goals, I wasn't any more convinced with our first half petformance than I have been with some of the the earlier home games this l season but it all seemed to click today. By the time we got to the second half it didn't feel for a second like we were going to concede. More of the same please!

We were actually lucky to come away with a draw today. Average first half and shocking second half. We were 1-0 up but played like we were 3-0 down - looked like headless chickens playing with no confidence and couldn't string more than a couple of passes together. Kodjia was the only shining light. I may have something positive to say at some point but not at the moment.

Indeed!

If only everything in life was as black and white!

In summary: We were fantastic in the first 30 minutes and could have been four up. Freeman's card whether deserved or not (couldn't see from the Dolman) completely changed the game. This was compounded by the two first half goals that we conceded which were weak and could have been avoided. Kodjia's performance was a positive. Should have kept him on for longer as looked good on the break when we were down to 10 men. There are absolutely weaknesses there. However, today should be written off and let's use Wednesday to gauge exactly where we are - I certainly think if we can play like we did in the first 30 mins it may not be as bad as today's score could indicate.
