Too true fella...we have a good group of players here...just not used properly in the past this season...onwards and upwards...solid performance again.

Could have had 8 defeats on the trot, according to this piece of nonsense.

4 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat since SC left

13 pts from 6 games

That form, over a season, would see us win the league!

This lot really do care don't they?  Very pleased youngsters given a chance, substitutions are positive (and happen), and that the buzz seems to be back.  Very happy here although as "here" is Brighton I'd really like to make it 4 in a row.

 

also amusing the stand behind him is about 25% full.

1 less than Cotts got us in October, November, December and half of January. Staggering.

Amazing how 3 games can change things!

Well played City and LJ.

Steady; remember John Ward a couple of years ago? 

And the Gas promotion run that ended up in the Conference?

Give it a rest , as the song goes be happy!!

[Lanterne Rouge]

We`ve only let in 2 in 6 in the league and only one of those actually cost us points.

Amazing that we are now as close to 11th as 24th, points wise. 

It's better than that - as close to 11th as we are 22nd.

Certainly feels like we can start looking up as well as down now.

Just imagine where we would have been if LJ had come in in October/November

But this is a case of better late than never, I hope and I believe

Bounce Bounce Bounce

It is the change from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3

You are speaking to the wrong person here, I am very happy, but some of these delusional posts from people looking into their crystal balls trying to predict what might have happened????

What's Robinson going to use as a excuse this time,it can't be our budget 

He'll make up some nonsense the self important scouse pr1ck.

Never tire of seeing those plastic franchise scumbags taking a pumping from the city.

great work city. 

[deadredfred]

We're on a great run now. Would love for us to maintain this momentum and have a strong finish to the season.

Finishing strongly could be priceless when it comes to summer recruitment.

Great result in an important game, sounded like a strong performance too.  Well done City, and well done LJ.

[Atlanta_Red]

Total gas love-in on RB.

What would have happened is that the opposition would have known exactly the 11 they were up against, they'd have known we'd play 'that' formation and there would be no meaningful subs unless there was an injury.

 

I agree the results are unknown but it wasn't looking great was it?

 

but we're doing well and that we're all happy!

I never said it was, SC was deservedly sacked but Derek Acora type machinations really?.

Well done boys!

Very pleased

MK looked awful from the highlights. Better finishing and we could have had 5 from the chances created. 

Cracking result. Good confidence for Kodjia and hopefully for Bryan too with his assist. 

Megalols at Kodjias second celebration. Couldn't decide where to go and nearly fell over his own feet.

Joe looked involved, along with Freeman, in just about all those chances.

Wonder if Tomlin is on the radar for a permanent move.  Sounded a good solid performance and we are looking like we could be a decent side.

Be interesting to see him with the shackles off, hopefully once we are safe.

The tactic of giving him and Kodjia an hour or more and then bringing on Wilbraham and Agard is genius, Tomlin and Kodjia are players who need constant monitoring and then Wilbraham and Agard give our opponents something totally different again to worry about.

Kodj looked utterly f**ked by the time he went off!  Wilbs and Agard a smart move, Tomlin's not fully fit IMHO.  But given the conditions, and MK's turgid performance, I'm surprised we didn't bag a third

[Offside]

It's fantastic to have now won three in a row to make our league position less perilous. The league table is much more comfortable viewing now. Hopefully we can build from here and finish the season strongly.

I'm also pleased that JET and Mickey didn't score against us.

Be good to get some feedback on the new boy, how did Zak get on. LJ gave him a good report but would be good to hear other opinions.

If he was our established FB I would have said he was very solid first half and looked very comfortable. Second half got caught out of position a couple of times, but played a full part in a clean sheet.

...then you remember this was his first game ever for us, in an important match.

There's a thread on him.

Great away day win, MK were terrible and error strewn, far worse than they were last season. Such a shame with a wonderful ground.  City worked hard all over the pitch and were very well organised. 2 goals for JK will have his confidence back on fire, his second was a great strikers goal from one of the best passes you will see all season in the Championship. No way will City go down playing with that concentration, commitment, and shape. You can still see where we need improvements, but if we had changed shape and approach back last year we would be a solid mid table like Preston. 

Players that stood out today were Korey , Pack, JK, Flint , Baker and for me MOM Joe Bryan , that pass alone was worth going to the game. 

What on earth was SC thinking..... 

Seen a couple of posters saying Joe Bryan MOTM....which is really good to hear after a stuttering season, and also in a game where another player got a brace.  So wished I'd been there, but at a Chess Tourney with Joe (won 5 lost 2) who qualified for next event.  I'm not a regular away traveller, but I hate missing any game these days.
