Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe just started to run on fumes a bit. Our strongest 11 are on, but pretty much our only 11!

Burton 1 Leeds 0

[Robin101]

So... who else would take 0-0 if Derby draw and Cardiff lose?

[old_eastender]

Baker in the book, City posing no threat, cant get possession moving forward

I am sure we would all take 1-0 but we should be doing better than that surely

Why “should” they? Entitlement is a horrible side-effect of a bit of success.

C'mon boys

We are playing at home against a team well below us in the table. Simples

Any combination that improves our overall standing in the division is another day closer to a successful season.

I think I’m saying yes...but i’m not sure.

[City_USA]

Getting closer. Keep up the pressure

Have you not seen the Championship? 1-0 against any team is a decent result in a division where anyone can beat anyone.

and Man Utd are umpteen squillion times more wealthy in every way than City or Burnley.

Nope, won't be happy without the win today whatever happens in the other games

[Garland-sweden]

Come on City!!!

[City_USA]

Too many yellow cards for my liking

If we are serious promotion contenders we need to be far more positive than you suggest, in my opinion.  I guess Lee will agree with my view come second half

Pack's yellow after awful play by Brownhill, who is playing like he ate too much xmas pud!

[Bizyer]

2 shots with neither on target....not great so far

agreed. At home to Reading, we need to be looking for the win

Nothing to do with positivity. It’s simply pragmatic to say that a 1-0 win against any Championship team can be considered a good result and that we don’t have any divine right to beat anyone easily.

Doesn’t mean we don’t try to win by more.

[BanburyRed]

Owls 2 up at Florest...

[petehinton]

Really, really shit first half

Dont look like we want to be out there

Injury's are coming home to roost...

Had to catch up with so many fixtures to fulfill..

[cidercity1987]

Oh well if we can only be a 1 half team it's better to draw the other half

[cityexile]

We have sounded lethargic, and just never got any momentum at all. Frankly, sounded as poor a half as we have played.

The only positive is Reading do not sound much better and we are still level. Generally we have been better in the second half, and it is still very much there to be won. 

[bristolcitysweden]

Complaints, complaints & complaints.

Delays, delays & delays.

What a boring game.

Lee will sort it out at HT.

[The Fat Controller]

Pack needs to be substituted. Foolish challenge just after receiving a booking. Won't last the game if he stays on.

Missing Paterson desperately. No real outlet.

[Robin101]

Think we were due a performance like this if we’re honest. Boys must be running on fumes. Hopefully we can sneak a 1-0 win and come back fresher for Wolves.
