cityexile Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Fair result overall. Thought Coventry edged second half and us the first. Getting there in singles at the moment. Its a balance between fresh legs and disrupting how they are doing, but wish NP had a little more confidence in the bench. Last ten we were hanging on a bit as some were a bit knackered. Andi like at Millwall our best chance to win it, but far from a push over last couple of matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Another important , solid performance. Lots of "8's". Max's handling was brilliant, Pring forcing us up the left excellent but my MoM was Vyner. On a booking and he timed tackles brilliantly and covered everything. Hope Semenyo gets some confidence from the 90 & a goal as I feel too many balls just go past him. Overall a good point, possibly deserved more. We do need to start winning soon though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Sides around us had a bad day, Rotherham lost (1 win in 12 now), Cardiff lost, Huddersfield lost.

HOZDA Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Solid performance. That's two good performances away from home against good teams where we were arguably the better team in both games. Still think we need to do better with our chances and when on top, but you can't take away the desire and effort from the team. I'm not overly concerned with our position- COYR! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Happy with that. Goal down and slow start, played our way back in.

miketh2nd Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 It is a Shame we couldn't make more of our chances espcially in the 1st half and do better with corners as Naismith did put some very good deliveries into the box . Still suspect in defence but we did very good to limit Gyokeres no real chances but he was a handful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The teams above us all play tomorrow so we could end up being the top of the bottom six, four points off seventh bottom if results don`t go our way.

The Journalist Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Nice to put in back-to-back performances - it's the first time we've gone two games unbeaten since 31 Aug/3 September.

Bazooka Joe Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 A point gained when other teams near the bottom get none, is a good end to the day.

Jerseybean Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Another solid away team performance, on balance a draw was probably the right result. Our defense was very well organized and uncompromising, Vyner had an excellent game, Max looked very comfortable, there were a couple of uncharacteristically sloppy passes from Alex Scott which could’ve caused danger. The point today and the one against Millwall + the overall team performances have been very much more encouraging and in both games we have shown great spirit, determination and commitment. As always well done the traveling Cider Army. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Glad to begin the year avoiding a defeat, but these draws are not enough to make me feel confident about our survival: we need to pick some wins somewhere, mainly by converting our chances in goals like we have been doing in recent past. It won't be easy, because we know our weaknesses and it is - or should be - clear that we will have also to be stronger than referees dirty behaviour, but...COME ON CITY, we can do it!!! One or two arrivals from the transfer market would obviously help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation form sadly… We didn’t start that run on a point a game, though did we? I think for a side that looked defensively frail to start to avoid defeat was the first step, a bit like our first point of the season at Wigan started off a decent run. Up to you what you think, I reckon we’ll stay up about 5th from the bottom. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Many mention our league position and the need to get wins but Millwall and Coventry away are tough places to go. I don't think you can expect wins at them places. I think as a whole, games like today are important building blocks to what we are trying to achieve. We went a goal down but equalised and played so well we had Coventry fans booing at half time and full time. That was a strong resilient performance and that's an important building block for us. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunningdalered Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I really don't understand the point of so many posters saying we need to win games rather than drawing them. That's bleeding obvious. I doubt that this squad could give much more than they have in the last two games - other than show a bit more composure in front of goal. Likewise, it's 1 January, there's about 9 points between City and 6th. It's way early to be constantly bleating on about relegation.
