How well you play how well the opponents let you play. 46 matches is the real indication of how good we are. Anag Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think they were great to be honest, but they were unbeaten coming into the game and we could easily have had 5 or 6 yesterday without being flattered. To be honest, it'd be grand if for once we could just enjoy the result rather than looking for reasons to mark it down. 14 minutes ago, Chris_Martin said: weather you disagree or not, more than 50% predicted a loss for this game How did that work out for them? 😋 Edited September 1 by Comrade 86 spilling 🤪 DerbyAleMan, norwichram, SKRam and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong I got properly caught up in the excitement and my take was that we had come out on top in a really entertaining game. The City fans however thought their team was pants.

DRBee Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 25 minutes ago, Anag Ram said: Without being too much of a party pooper, it is possible City were just rubbish 🪖 But consider the poor teams we've played under Warne, where we have often only played well for one half, or let teams back in. Yesterday there was a different dimension - the interplay between our players, players making forward runs reiving the ball from a pass properly weighted and in the right place. But best of all our midfield being properly aggressive and winning the ball. Think back to our midfield 12 months ago.....

The Bristol City fans are saying he's now missed 5 1-on-1s in a row. I would never have paid what they did for him based off stats alone, but they must feel they can improve his finishing (he's still only 20 afterall) To be honest, I think Brown is the forward you're looking for. Careful, Ghostie, careful. - you’ll get shot down in flames if you keep advocating using one of our own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to Warne, would have been easy to bring on Collins yesterday for ‘know how’ to see it out but Brown got the nod. Do him a world of good. Yes, but giving him just 2 minutes plus time added on is an insult when he needs more. But after organising a performance like that Warne might know what he is doing.

The City fans however thought their team was pants. Would be good to get the opinion of a neutral. A fair few on their forum were bemoaning how poor a squad/team we have and almost seemed to be blaming us for having the audacity to beat them. Bit like the Boro fans a couple of weeks ago!

I was just reaffirming a point someone else made that also happens to be true. Is it awkward in the sense that you've made a mistake and now dont want to apologise for it ?

Crewton Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 1 hour ago, Anag Ram said: Without being too much of a party pooper, it is possible City were just rubbish 🪖 In my one prematch comment I said they'd be dangerous going forward, but I felt they were a bit vulnerable at the back, particularly with Rob Dickie being unavailable. I think that proved to be right. Once we started to move the ball forward effectively, they were pulled apart numerous times. When the second goal went in, their heads dropped and we just got stronger and stronger. I think they're not a bad team, but our counter-attacking and defensive strength eventually made them look feeble. Reminded me of that 3-0 loss at Rotherham under Rooney where they just overpowered us in the last half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozza Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Used to be easier when we had win, lose, draw poll for each game, but i suppose physically counting predictions into seperate columns keeps dementia at bay, hopefully.

I was replying to a previous poster who said the majority of fans predicted a comfortable loss. I never said it was the majority, just many. I never said 50% either. Anyway, a number of fans predicted losses v Boro and Bristol City. How many? Who knows? Who cares? I disagree that it was on the strength of recent performances. We‘ve won eight in a row at home in all competitions, don’t forget. So it’s not all been bad. I find it far more likely to have something to do with both visiting clubs having better squads than us, spending £10-15 million in the window, and being tipped for strong seasons that might have swayed people to pick against us. After all, we could beat Cardiff 4-0 in two weeks and we’d still be heavily unfancied the following week v Sheff Utd, no? It’s just the reality of where we are.
