TonyTonyTony Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Lots of moments of the match for me such as Matty James pressing Peterborough back on his own in the second half, the link up between COD and Pring but the champagne moment for me was Kalas’ terminator style run right from the back to cross it into the box. Bloody enjoyed that today. Have a great evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Great reaction after midweek. Like I said then; we’ll have ups and downs, which Fulham>Millwall>today is pretty much how I imagined it. Nice to be top half while we still have a lot to figure out and room for improvement. Now; if only we could get next week’s game against Bournemouth moved to their ground, we might stand a chance… COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Great way to react to Wednesday’s defeat……Nige and the coaching staff building a squad that cares, works very hard for each other and are committed Great sign to get a win today with 3-4 of the squad out…..hopefully get them back for Bournemouth in a couple of weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 30 minutes ago, 22A said: OK, just got in from the game and my immediate thoughts. City looked too ponderous in their build up play on the right side. Possibly because if the weather, the ref let play continue when others may have stopped the game for an infringement. During that down pour in the 2nd half I feared the Ref would abandon the game. Must watch the goals on TV later as on the bus coming home, all the P'boro' fans assured me there was a definite handball involved in City's winner. If it was Joe Williams on the edge of the box that the fans are talking about the highlights don't show much but none of the players are appealing for handball which you would expect.

Was also at the game , god you’re miserable , great day out , great result and a very good performance , 16 shots , 6 on target says we went for it , both sides looking to attack so obviously some worrying moments , the spirit is fantastic well done lads Also got to say our fans were brilliant today from minute one , never shut up , worth adding especially away but at home too the players and fans are building a bond that is helping everyone. PS. All the Peterborough fans who assured you it was handball for the winner were nowhere near it , it was up our end , with just a few of their fans behind the goal , behave 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given the terrible conditions I thought overall he did really well today. Ferguson doesn't agree and thought they should have had a pen. https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/peterborough-united/peterborough-united-manager-says-premier-league-referee-played-a-big-part-in-bristol-citys-win-but-his-own-side-need-to-get-the-finer-details-right-more-often-3405445 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had lunch at 'Boscastle Farm Shop' which was very fulfilling, returned home to find City drawing 20 mins from the final whistle, and then the winner by Martin to seal a good day! Thanks to all for the emojis as well. Thanks also to the 'Major' for the 'My Little Pony'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had continued the form of last season we would be at the bottom with Derby. No we are not yet where want to be, but what incredible progress . It bodes well for the future . This squad will only get better.well done everyone, and a big plus for the fans who made that journey. Bang on great progress and a much more resilient team.

I think Sammy had a rough time here he's grown as a player since leaving that's for sure. He benifited from good supply today, he probably didn't get that at city we played a different way under Johnson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Szmodics didn’t get a chance here. He may not have earned that chance on the training ground. But ultimately he was let down by a poor recruitment strategy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS was coveted by other clubs having regularly impressed at Colchester but was snapped up by City on a three year contract but after 6 months or so moved to Posh - all a bit odd in my view 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 From memory Szmodics looked quite useful in preseason, only for LJ to declare that he wasn't ready for the Championship and then Palmer arrived, which meant that he barely featured.
