sglosbcfc Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I was chatting to Jon Stead at the shop this evening and he was very bullish about City chances this season. He agreed with me that we have a very strong squad and he pointed out that our form over the last 10 games (nearly 1/4 of the season) is the best in the division. He said we should never have lost against Cardiff and that the players were gutted to only draw with QPR and felt they should have held on. He felt injuries and all the disruption at the start of the season had obviously resulted in a slow start but now we can really challenge. Also said Carey was almost fit. Finally, I must say what great ambassadors for the club Stead, Caulker and Adomah are - top blokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good to hear, but I just hope Carey doesn't walk straight back into the team based on his senior standing at the club. The defence has actually looked much stronger in his absence.

CotswoldRed Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 He said we should never have lost against Cardiff and that the players were gutted to only draw with QPR and felt they should have held on. All well and good, but there's no doubt QPR deserved a point out of that game. We can't really see it as 2 dropped points. If we go up it will be based on beating teams fairly and squarely.

If we go up it will be based on beating teams fairly and squarely. Dont agree with that one bit. I remember us defending excellent whilst Paddy Kenny made 2-3 incredible saves. Dont recall QPR cutting us open much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTR Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 QPR had to resort long diaginal balls because they couldnt break us down.I think we just about edged the and were unlucky not to hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcliffe 78 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 My thoughts exactly fella! lets hope we arnt left dissapointed and he remains firmly on the bench!! oh and marry christmas guys! <B> Millen has said its up to the player to hold on to the shirt, so as long as Stewart carries on playing like he did last Sat if Millen sticks to his word Carey will remain on the bench. Not a bad player to have on the bench imo, Carey will still play a big part this season albeit more of the field than on players like him are invaluable to have around especially with the young players.

True, and to be fair to him hes stuck to his word so far! i just feel that because hes the club captain the situation maybe slightly different, hopfuly its not! We'll have to wait and see.

We'll have to wait and see. Carey couldn't possibly have come in for Caulker, Fontaine or Ribeiro the way they were playing. They're all better players than him. As for Stewart, well, we'll have to see if he can maintain last Saturday's form at Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a different note, I think Stead plays like a man desperately wanting to go up - I'm sure that his work ethic and determination on the pitch motivate the players around him. Brilliant.

alwaysbelieve Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 We should win our next 3 games, but this is city, so who snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Stead has struck me in his interviews as a smart and articulate guy. If those are his opinions that's genuinely encouraging and I hope he's right. He's certainly working hard here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdgifford64 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Have to admit i wasn`t overly excited when Stead signed but it didn`t take long to recognise he wasn`t just here for a pay check and an easy ride. Even during our torrid start to the season he stood out many a time for his work rate and quite frankly, imo, the target man with a brain that we`d been crying out for. It`s going to be interesting when NM does return to full fitness. IF he can match the form prior to his injury then you have to say he`s a shoe-in for the team. Of course, the problem is if Pitman, Stead, Clarkson in fact the team continue this good form where does NM get the match time to get back in form.......a lovely problem for KM to handle.

sglosbcfc Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 We can't win them all and to be fair, Stead said he was bullish about our chances of challenging, not bullish about our chnaces of going through the rest of the season unbeaten. One thing is certain, if we have a similar record over the next 10 matches as the last ten, we will be in the top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
