Massive win today

Who was your man of the match?

48 hours to vote

Could have been any of the back four for me today but I thought peltier was faultless! What a result! BLUEBIRDS!!!

Peltier,stepped up when needed.

Zohore changed the game.

60th minute he comes on, his first touch of the ball results in a little run down the wing to win our FIRST corner of the game. We score from the same corner, and he only goes and scores the bloody winner!

Man of the match easy for me.

Again another match where it could go to any one of the 14 who played, shame we can’t give it to NW for his tactics and substitutions or to the fans who made the noise. Pelts and Bennet played superbly, so did Pats keeping Redmond fairly quiet, thinks for me though it’s gonna have to be Etheridge though for keeping us in it, can’t blame him for the goal as defenders didn’t pick up on the back post

Anyone questioning the signing of bacuna

That is why he was signed, excellent I the hole when he replaced Gunnar, tackled well won a lot of balls and much better on the ball than Gunnarsson

The man mountain that is Mr Souleymane Bamba for me. Both full backs were very good aswell

Wow peltier is winning (didn't watch so didn't vote)

Happy for him though. Gets a rough ride from the fans

Lee Peltier Man of the match

Bruno for me, his first half display was outstanding. Made two brilliant blocks and also had a great second half. Notable performances by Peltier, Ralls and Oumar. And absolutely delighted to see Ken get a goal.

Id just about give it to Bruno Manga who I thought was immense at the back and won everything, along with his composure on the ball and his crucial blocks. Peltier also deserves a mention as that's probably the best game I've seen him have in a city shirt and his 2 blocks on the line shows his attitude and commitment to the team, and I don't think the winger on his side got round him once. I also thought we looked a lot better on the counter when Bacuna came on who instead of punting it away aimlessly would pass it to one of the midfielders and he also offered us pace and energy on the counter attack. Great result

Pelts, loved the 60/40 ball he never backed out of

I think the people questioning the signing were the ones who knew he was a midfielder not a right back like most were making him out to be.

paterson - popped up in their box to set up bamba, and had several important clearance headers in ours.

very good performance.

Bloody hell what's Joe Ralls got to do for votes????

Joe ralls........even better when Gunnar went off

Sol Bamba

Lee Peltier for me; possibly his best game in a City shirt todate

He was very good
His problem is his role goes unnoticed compared to a striker of a defender who makes last ditch tackles

At first thought I was thinking Bamba, then I remembered the blocks by Pelts, then I remembered that Pats never lost a header an ran his goolies off. setting up the winner, but I thought big Ken done a great job when he came on. , but Ralls was everywhere, then again so was Manga, then I thought how well Niasse led the line, Bennett though got some important blocks in too, ah Gunners was everywhere, ummm, team performance for me today, can't pick any one performance. Bluebirds.

I know this might be cheesy, and this is a serious suggestion. For future votes can we have "The Whole Team" as the option? Seriously. I think it'd be amazing if at the end of a future season "The Whole Team" gets the most man of the match wins.

I don't know . I almost never feel able to vote on these because it usually feels unfair on a number of other individuals who made a massive contribution. It might reflect the fact that of all the teams we always get 150% out of every player, even the poorer ones.
Another option might be that you can vote for a number of players.

It’s a cop-out to have an option for the whole team. It won’t be made an option unless a huge amount ask for it, I just don’t agree with it.

Multiple options is not going to happen either - it’s not called Men of the Match.

I didn’t go today, so not voted. Peltier leading at the moment.

Joe Ralls

Didn’t go to the game so only watched highlights as I couldn’t get a stream so I’m gonna put pelts for his unbelievable stop on the line. That would’ve changed the game so he basically won us the game for that

We would not have won this game without Ralls right at the end. Didn't clock it during the game but when the ball came loose from Stephens, Ralls was the only one to make a run for it and i led to the goal ultimately.

However Bamba was just good everywhere today and gets my vote!

Harry arter was superb all game !

Paterson for me, immense performance and set up the two goals with towering headers

Huge team effort for me, which Warnock has said,Arter give 100%, Bamba also,and Ethridge put in a great performance again, but the game changer was Kenneth Zahore for me, his physicallty was immense, and the hero of the day & man of the match for me.
