Yep. Seem to be comfortably controlling the game without really trying. 

At the moment!

They are, but we certainly haven't helped ourselves, as usual. 

[Ivorguy]

Why oh why do we have a team unable to put decent balls into the box ?

We looked good up to the flukey first goal then we just lost our belief. 

It's like men against boys at the moment ( we're the ' boys ' in case you were wondering)

Tammy looks isolated. 

I still think we lack width and penetration.

Said the actress to the Bishop......

I wouldn't call it a fluke!!!! 

Totally agree with the rest though.

Ironic really that Wilbs comes on for arguably our best player going forward - Golbourne. 

[joe jordans teeth]

Wilbs at least will get his nut on the long balls

Gizza' few players...!?

[Luxo Jr.]

Is Engvall still not up to speed? You'd hope that he would be getting the nod over Wilbraham if he's fit.

[Gakoe]

City 100/1 now! 

[stevep38]

Christ  talk about hit and hope

[stevep38]

Have we had a shot on target

[Ivorguy]

We lack subtelty

They are better than us but the chasm isn't utterly huge in my opinion. 

Both the Brighton goals were avoidable from a City point of view and both had an element of luck. 1st one after Smith misscontrolled there was an accidental obstruction from Baldock I think, that stopped Korey getting remotely close to Sidwell as he made ROD look inadequate. The second was too easy but took a deflection off Flint as he attempted to block to skid into the far corner.

City do look a bit off the pace really, though two holding midfielders make sense on paper the lack of anyone going beyond Tomlin when he comes deep limits us going forward all the time, especially on the counter. Let's see if Bobby can make a difference there.

Also, Tomlin seems to have been fouled a couple of times in dangerous positions and has had nothing from the ref. 

[Portland Bill]

Get some width City, all far to central.

[stevep38]

Why why  put shit balls into the box. There centre half's are lapping it up

[Ivorguy]

Somebody who is fortunate enough to be able to get to matches please tell me what Paterson brings to the table

[maxjak]

By far the worst aspect of todays game is our predictability and lack of ideas……….we have made it so easy for Brighton. Total and utter anticlimax

[stevep38]

Far to slow and predicted

In fairness Paterson, who was anonymous against Cardiff & Blackburn, has done OK tonight, but he is no winger.

[WhistleHappy]

Baldocks gone off......

Dolly behave, rude gestures like that dont become you!

[stevep38]

This is shit

[stevep38]

No wonder sky  don't want to put us on. 

[joe jordans teeth]

Boys against men I'm afraid,any loose ball in the centre of the park we ain't winning

We are looking so second best to them at the moment, really disappointed Engval has not been given a run when we have nothing to lose.

Such insight. John Motson is shitting himself. 

[iamalagerdrinker]

We seem to win the ball well and just hold it inside or half and look confused with what to do. Failing that just launch long balls to Tammy and Wilberham in the hope they can maybe do something
