Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Good first half, very well organised.

cityexile Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not much in it really, worked hard, looked decent enough and maybe on the balance of play slightly fortunate to be a goal up, opposite of Swansea really. looking like what we are, a solid enough mid table team that will win some lose some. Given where we are, will be delighted with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Great first half by City. Good defending good movement forward. The left side looks far sounder with Baker and Pring.

Davefevs Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 That's a pretty decent first half against a team like Cardiff who ask you a lot of questions. Had a good spell in the middle and Martin and Weimann causing them lots of problems with one dropping / one spinning. None of their 3 CBs want to go with the "dropper", dos we get a bit of space. Got to say the ball rarely runs for us, a couple of real 'nearly' moments. Lot of hard work needed second half, can't let Cardiff have a spell. Pring bloody excellent so far.

old_eastender Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 When we manage to get forward and get the ball down on the floor, we look capable of getting another. But warning signs there with Bents having to make 2 neat saves in last 5 mins to keep our lead, we have to stay switched on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff are a real handful, but we are doing our work. They have had some good chances but we are fighting hard. When we go forward we look like we can pull them apart at any time. What I also note this season is that it is hard to pick out poor performances in the side, everyone is doing their bit. Not a hope City are going to be anywhere near a relegation battle with the application we now have. So good to see the players playing as a team and working for each other.

Agree, we are much more workmanlike throughout the team and immediately look to go forward. So often last season it looked like we had no idea what to do with the ball and generally settled for going backwards or square. Big 45 minutes coming up, the next goal will be critical.

TonyTonyTony Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Very pleasing performance and not being bullied. Defending has been good, from the entire team not just the defenders.

Curr Avon Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We have to watch out when HNM is isolated on the right and Vyner is drawn out having to deal with an overload. Too many crosses coming in to feel comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pl00peh91 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I do think a team is a reflection of their manager. Under LJ we were a small team often technically good but equally often bullied against the big teams. Under Pearson we are much more aggressive and physical and whilst we may be more direct I actually find it much more pleasing on the eye than the constant sidewards passes we were subjected to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
