" Sabri Lamouchi: Magic fans "

SABRI LAMOUCHI:

"My mission was to stay in the Championship. It's not done yet, but I'm happy with the result and confident with the next two.

“Now my only desire is to win the next game at home for our magic fans.”






City boss Sabri Lamouchi spoke to the press following the dramatic late win over Rotherham United.

"I'm proud of the performance from my squad. The mentality too. It was not easy to come here and win and get the three points. The players deserve the three points. It's absolutely a massive result.

"To play tonight here in our condition was not so easy. We started not in a good way. We scored immediately though and created a lot. But we conceded a goal and gave them a chance to comeback. Before the break, we had a chance to maybe kill them, or at least take advantage with the penalty.

"The second half there was more quality from our side. We deserved the three points. I'm happy for the team and the fans. It's been a difficult season. I'm so proud about the performance and the result."

Cédric Kipré scored the all-important winning goal with just a few minutes remaining of the 90.

Sabri continued: "He needs to believe more in himself because he's an animal. He's a very strong defender. He scored an important goal against Watford and scored very important other goals for us. He has a big impact.

"But as you know, [Sory] Kaba is another one with the same impact. Even if he missed the penalty, he still has a big impact on the opponent. Without the Kaba goals, we'd be in a different position.

"My mission was to stay in the Championship. It's not done yet, but I'm happy with the result and confident with the next two.

"Now my only desire is to win the next game at home for our magic fans. They were nearly a thousand today. They'll come back at 3am in the morning for sure. So I would like to finish the season at home with a win."

I 100% agree; we knew we had a battling squad but that signing turned the season for us...

The away fans have been amazing this season, but also the home fans. Let's face it, compared to the last 20 years its been a really poor season and the fans haven't once got on the player's back.

I can see most are trying but on the whole, they are well below what's needed.

Live in hope as we all do

I’m in 109 and the abuse being hurled at players from a reasonable number of fans behind us at the last home game was appalling. I even commented to my son that if I were a city player I’d rather play away than hear that crap thrown at me. At the time the players were not even making mistakes. Baffled the shit out of me tbh.

I’m in 106 and I was saying the same thing the other week to the boys next to me , some of the abuse is disgusting and all it does is add the pressure to our players , I’ve noticed they look more comfortable playing away as the fans just sing all game .
It would be great to Chuck all the negative drunk shouters out , and just let us get behind our team

Not being funny but I for one wouldn’t put up with our own fans screaming abuse at one of our players, when they wear that shirt they deserve our support and respect not abuse! As long as our players give everything for our shirt that’s all that matters, win, lose or draw.
