To think if we weren’t so screwed at Hull we could be joint top if we hold out today.

And if bananas were wearing pyjama's they'd be coming down the stairs .............Get a Grip....Ha!!

Being able to rotate our strike force between Conway, Wells, Martin, Semenyo is going to be very luxurious isn't it! When was the last time we had a group of strikers like that? 

No Weimann?

He plays behind the two.

[Superjack]

I'm a big fan of Nahki Wells and the last two games are examples of why.

But what I really want to say is that I thought Vyner was excellent today. 

They were all excellent.

Going to work very happy.

When was the last time we won 2 games in a row with 2 clean sheets?

Nov 2020 was the last time we won 2 in a row without conceding I think!

Its funny how Lee Hendrie was purring over our attacking performance today

The same Lee Hendrie who recently predicted us to go down this season

I was thinking the same and it just Highlights how clueless the guy is to be honest.

Doesn't tell the full story, for example that break where O'Dowda didn't slip in the Cardiff forward was absolutely criminal.

Well yes, in so far as a chance that isn't created doesn't affect the xG.

He also said 'this kid is absolute FLAMES at the moment' after Conway scored.

The guy is a moron.

Are they talking clean sheets in a row or wins with clean sheets?

But Conway has been playing brilliantly tbf. Didn't go today so watched on sky and I thought it was much more balanced from Lee Hendrie today.

I think Sky are referring to last back to back clean sheets, I was focusing on B2B wins with clean sheets

Any Stattos out there know when we last beat the Blueturds three times on the spin?

EDIT: Aside from today, Clever Clogs.

I was more talking about the use of the word 'flames' in that context by 45 year Old man...

Add top scorer Andi to that mix as well!!!

 

[westonred]

With the emergence of TC as the fantastic player he is Perhaps we can affored to let Semenyo go at the right price now

Nearly fifty years ago; Seven on the bounce!

That April 72 game was a classic; every time City made a tackle, the Ref awarded us a free kick.

[Dan Robin]

Refereeing: I thought that was good in key decisions, but unbalanced about fouls/cards. Anyway, much better than usual.

Great result, we showed bucket loads of determination.

Conway & Scott interviewed on Sky, what a future they have ️

What a inspiration / encouragement for our U18s / U23s to see them starring for the first team in a big game 

We actually have a pathway , instead of talking about one

Nope. If we want to be successful we must try and keep all our best players. If Conway or Wells gets her injured then we short up top. Don't sell.

Best aspect of this week (apart from the obvious): we’ve passed the ball, which makes us so much more exciting/interesting to watch.

Currently scoring at a higher rate than last season. 

We're on 1.4 goals per game right now. Last season's total was 1.35.

Not just that but we are conceding in the first 5 games this season as we did the last 10 last season; 1.2 per game - a rate of 55 per season

Or defend? 

Zak has played a lot better this season, he’s massively reduced the individual errors.

I like this ref

Defo not a pen for us

He gave our “shout” a lot more thought than it deserved

 

 

Again, the way Pearson has us playing reminds me of the way SC had us playing in L1, attacking Wing Backs with the CBs having license to roam.

[Offside]

Excellent performance from City again in a really good game.

The whole team played well, but stand-outs for me were Conway, Bentley (for this excellent saves) and Massengo. And I love Naismith’s attitude - such determination and he’s vocal as well.
