Brizred Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Don't think it's GJ believing 'the hype' but maybe one or two posters on here. I've just watched two committed teams attacking each other end to end, playing fast moving football, it was a great game to watch, end to end stuff, not many chances created but an exciting match, well done to the players who all gave 100%, also after conceding a goal in the last minute the fans singing at the end of the game was a credit to the supporters. This is a world away from the dross of the last 9 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 League 1 Runners up v Relegated Established Premiership team, held them for 89mins, and went away feeling very unlucky.THIS IS HOW FAR WE HAVE COMEIndeed.Charlton's squad cost them well over £20m and their wage bill is probably four times ours.We were the better side and they won with a typical away smash'n'grab. We also played with far more style.If I was a Charlton fan I'd be disappointed with what they've got in terms of value for money, but thankfully I'm a City fan and not only am I delighted with how we're doing so far I'm confident this team will bounce back with a strong performance against Ipswich.

Thought the crowd noise was good all around the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the crowd noise was good all around the ground.It was end to end and in that respect it was exciting but Charlton had a very limited game plan as I saw it. Short pass to Reid, hits it long to the giant cheater at the other end, scrabble after the resulting ball. I thought we played with better passing and a more attractive style of play, but perhaps it's fair to say that a bit more ugliness was needed against a side like that.

Why he got booked for being grabbed around the throat is a mystery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 They matched us for commitment, probably just shaded a very even game, and produced that bit of class to score at a crucial time. A good game, not impressed with the antics of Charlton or the ref. However, it is easy to forget how far we have come in a short space of time, and without spending heaps. The third injury time goal that we have conceded at home this season, costing us points.Life is still good as a City fan.And let's not forget the poignant pre-match - A pity that certain individuals on the pitch and in the dug-out could not conduct themselves with same dignity as the Randall family. Nick would be proud of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
