“ CITY TODAY MY THOUGHTS “
Well in between my sat going off I saw most of the game as Chris stated first half nothing to write home about but I guess our possession stats were quite high, but we did not look like scoring apart from Moores header looping over the bar. I was quite pleased with the two loan youngsters who to me had their best game so far. When cunningham went of injured and they brought on Wilson, i thought oh no they are going to play him at left back
Never the less they put Baccuna there, I have to say me thinking when he played right back that he is not one, he is definitely not a left back, although he did not give so many balls away playing there, he did play more like a wing back bombing forward.
What a goal by Ojo and a perfect pass from moore, and to see Wilson ready for a pass who was free, just shows what we can expect of him.
Once again Morrison played a blinder, and Pack was again showing what he can do, Also when tutu went of injured I thought that nelson was excellent, so we now know he can play there. I think Harris played Hoillet because although his attacking lately has not been up to his standard, he really does defend very well, something Murphy, should be doing.
The second half, Preston and a lot of possession but no cutting edge, but a lot of that is down to the superb city defending, every man and his dog doing their defending as if their life depended on it.and lets not forget Smithies who did not have much to do what he did do he did it well, apart from a fist out that went everywhere except away, I saw him on the ground after he managed to retrieve the ball smiling and said to myself, "Yes you can smile boy"
lets not forget Ralls who also worked hard shutting down the Preston players and Vaulks and Bamba who came on to shut Preston out.
The whole team played well today and just goes to show, that possession is not the b end of it. it's goals that count
I am really pleased today and a lot more positive looking forward to this season, only thing I will say, is how i wish we were watching City live, from a seat in the stadium, not from a seat in the lounge at home.
