RedJim Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've been to only 5 matches this season (6th to come at QPR on Sat) and I've been very fortunate to witness 3 of our best games of the season (and 1 of the worst). The first 2 - Luton away in the League Cup and Fulham home - were abject. In fact, that Fulham first half only really compared to the Cardiff home 0-6 where we also 4 down at half time. Absolutely shambolic and showed up the tactical naivety of Cotts at this level. Luton away was a classic City League Cup performance - very poor against lower division opposition! The next 3 were all brilliant though - Charlton away was a great atmosphere in the away end and it was a huge 3 points - Johnson was in the crowd and Pembo & Wade had really started to turn our season around. Fulham away was even better - in my top 5 City away days of the last 20 years - Tomlin's 90th min winner capping off a great day out (on the City boat on the Thames) and the celebrations at the end are the sort you remember for years. Then it was Bolton home a couple of weeks later and the last 20 minutes in particular, where we cut loose and looked like scoring every time we got the ball (and nearly did!) - it felt like we were a club back on the up after a difficult few months. Another couple of goals for Kodjia and maybe one last screamer from Tomlin on Saturday and I'll look back on this season with happy memories, despite all the struggles along the way.

Red-Robbo Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have to say, Pembo/Wade's first game in charge. Instant change in formation, timely subs for the first time in ages, and beating the league leader once again. Suddenly, a way forward became visible.

downendcity Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 My best moment is also the worst. Sacking Cotterill was the best moment, given the way things went thereafter. It was also the worst, as it was sad to see the end of the manager who gave us such the remarkable success only the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dads been a few times as he's often travelled to Nicaragua. I work for a software testing consultancy back home who luckily let me do my job from here. Guatemala is an incredible place, amazing things to see and lots of things to do. I haven´t driven the chicken buses, yet, but the way they drive them I think me jumping up and down wouldn´t be any less safe. It's an experience every time you get on! I'd happily take looking like a tw4t every week if we get winners like that again though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Albert shanking one over the bar from six yards at home v Boro and then grinning at the SS so we all knew he missed on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton 6-0 - have that jug ears Blackburn away - safety This one is getting a bit over looked... probably because we were virtually safe anyway. But when we the last time we even scored away at Blackburn!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of my fav days out ever, our transit was given a motorcycle escort to the ground, from the pub as the nice Policeman thought we would be late.

The Fat Controller Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Saturday 19th March. City 6 Bolton 0. And I wasn't even there. But it was the day my son was born, so he's obviously a good omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
