Albeit rather slowly , but I do agree definitely turning . I honestly think if we can get through this season I can see the the club moving forward from next season. from what I have heard and what we know there has been some good work done behind the scenes to stabilise things . the academy is obviously going very well with some bright prospects coming through. If not before I think you can say goodbye to Alex & Antoine next season but that should bare some fruits in terms of funds for new signings . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 A massive point ,imo, every one counts at this end of the table and more positives on the pitch than negatives. Not sure why Naismith is quite so marmite as the team is overall better with him than without. The fact that Semenyo scores is a bonus- however fortuitous it's just another career goal that get's the draw and point..... and we need the money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 First half was lacklustre from City and I thought Blackburn were marginally the better side. I feared the worst when they scored, but City showed resilience to bounce back and overall we deserved to win. It looked a certain penalty to me (happy to stand corrected when I see the highlights) and I was gutted when Bell’s goal was disallowed - it looked like a close call. Overall a decent enough point.

Son of Fred Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Good game.. Happy in the end with the draw,,but could Have nicked it! Only complaint from a decent team performance was that we were too passive until they scored.. As soon as we showed a bit of bite we were in control. We'll played Scott,,very mature performance. Naismith won just about everything in the air & benefiting from not playing at the back. Well done Semenyo,,100% effort and a good way to say farewell if that's to be- thought bell was a live wire when he came on & gave us another dimension.
