cityexile Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 That was a lot of fun. Sure, from 2-0 you want to win it, but neither team settling for the point. We could have won it, they could have won it. Very decent watch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mihai Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Very nice second half. I enjoyed this very much. I had a break from watching city lately because we don't really have an objective anymore but I have to say that I missed the adrenaline. Mehmeti looks good for our future I have to say.

MelksRed Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Need some perspective ref Naismith. Returning from Injury. On the road to recovery. A non-game....an opportunity to give him some competitive game time....thats it. He was always going to be rusty. Let's think about his input next season and how this trivial performance can lead to better things early next season based on what we know he is capable of.

Boro will probably be happier having come back but at the same time both sides will be disappointed not to have forced a winner. Bell was a real nuisance for them and was justifiably named the Sky MoM but Cornick is improving into this team and nice to see him off the mark after Nahki unselfishly gave him a tap in.

Davefevs Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thoroughly entertaining game, wish I’d been there. Some excellent individual performances too, against some quality opposition players. Things are looking up. Pleased for Cornick. He played well tonight. He’s ragged at times, unpredictable but he can be a menace. Giles had a torrid time defensively. Belly had Tommy Smith on toast. Needs to work on his final ball. Cool finish. Dasilva another good game too. Goals happen, shit happens. Despite Pring’s scoop clearance, there was still a lot of time after that to north make that the focus. Thought whoever let Smith go for their worst was poor. Do the hard yards early, don’t think you can make it up. We are in the up. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent with the ball, without it not bad at times- one phase of play without it where I thought we looked very good, Cornick was in the middle of the line. More good signs moving forward, million miles from the shambles of Spring 2021.

spudski Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Really enjoyed that game. I thought everyone played with desire. Created plenty of chances and defended well. Organised and pressed well. Lots of energy...just needed to be more composed and take care for the ball on occasion in the final third. Really happy to see Harry do well. And yes...he definitely has a Steve Jones vibe about him. It was obvious Naismith was rusty when he came on...but good to get some minutes under his belt again. I thought James and King really shone today. And Wells put in a great shift. It's worth looking at the present Championship table and how close it is from 4th Boro and 13th us. One loss difference. And all the teams in between just a few losses difference. Just goes to show how tight this league is. Converting just a few draws and losses into wins would have had us top 6. https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/7/Seasons/9141/Stages/21050/Show/England-Championship-2022-2023 Edited April 10, 2023 by spudski 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
