Well miser if you're confused by my post you obviously haven't been watching City for long or are easily pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I dont think they looked superior for long periods at all. They are better placed than us financially too which helped to enable the PL loanees. I thought we more than matched them even if they had more possession. The away game up there they were superior for very long periods. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you actually see the stats I'm sorry but they did look superior to us for long periods which annoyed the hell out of me, and why are they better placed financially?

Popular Post David Brent Posted April 10 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 10 If you can’t take any pleasure from that performance / result then there isn’t much hope for you.

Beni71 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Since pre Christmas we have been slowly improving. Unfortunately we are not a microwave meal, it will take time to improve and on a consistent basis. Always disappointing to lose a two goal lead. Lots of positives though, Cornick very good this evening but clearly not match fit still. We had a patched up team that gave everything. Thought tonight was a good advert for Championship football. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos for your consistency. Says Percy Pig with all his five minutes of experience of being on here and missing the overwhelming positivity I usually express, 800 odd posts come back when you have sat through as many games as I have. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic game to watch, end-to-end stuff, and we were unlucky not to take all three points against one of the better sides in the league, packed with Premier League loanees. Looks like we watched different games, my friend. I've seen some shite over the past 46 years, but today was one of the good days. 16 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good match played by two teams trying to win it. I have seen us just a couple of years back being outplayed for long periods match after match hanging on. We could have won, we could have lost, but it’s exactly that type of match will attract fans to the Gate in my view. Fair play to Boro, Luton, Preston, Millwall etc, we are just at a different place in our journey. Seeing a lot of comments from Boro fans saying they think they were lucky to get the point, so don’t think we were dominated. Far from it. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good game but even 2 up I thought if we concede the next goal we will probably end up hanging on look I didn't want to be proven right but having watched city for as long as I have it just seemed inevitable and unfortunately I was right and took NO pleasure from that fact.

So what the actual **ck were you expecting from today's game? Everyone who I sit with was happy with both the performance & the commitment. A couple I walked back from the ground with had a similar view. Boro are top four, a good side yet we’ve drawn both games this season. This strikes me as evidence of progress & like you I was more than happy. 4 points over Easter massively exceeded my expectations, I have absolutely no idea what the OP expected? 6? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 They passed the ball better, generally controlled the midfield but we were actually better with the final ball I think and had more shots on goal. A fair result, could have gone either way. Could we have parked the bus at 2 - 0? Maybe, if that is what some prefer. Too early to try to shut the game down in my opinion. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
