Bit harsh? We are trying to press aggressively, they juay have some very good players who are good with the ball in tight spaces. It's miles better than millwall/Birmingham- but so are Watford.

He’s constantly said that his preferred position is RB, but with this formation and the fact they want to play 2 behind the striker means that until Sykes is fit then that’ll be his position. Tanner’s doing nicely as the 3rd CB. I think he’ll improve with minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making life difficult for them I think tuesdays performance made a lot of people nostalgic of years gone by, a city team more than holding their own physically, snapping into tackles that got supporters out of their seats, cheering the team on, creating a mood more attributed to Ashton Gate in the 90's. I mistakenly thought that this tactic was here to stay and this was Manning in part putting his stamp on things and showing us that the dark arts are part of his tactical repertoire and he is shaping a city side that can play football at the same time as being a nightmare to play against? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cellist Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Said it earlier - they have some good players! We did really well to get back into the game from 0-1, and showed some good signs. Twine hit the ground running and put in several dangerous dead balls, we pressed and got in their faces, had them running back towards their own goal at times. Wasn't the constant back and forth between Tanner and Vyner that we've seen in some games. We played a lot better than we have done in the league recently - but Watford were also better than what we've come up against. Take a point and a solid performance and move on - free hit on Friday against Forest and hopefully another good atmosphere under the lights. Looking forward to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent performance and result. 100% agree. Always a difficult game, made harder by Dickie hanging his arm in the air to give them a pen, but overall I think we shaded it. Unusual for City to have so many headed chances. Twine scored a really good one. McCrorie wasted one.

Set piece delivery was very good, but in open play very little came off for him (with the obvious exception of the tap in). Also thought his pressing lacked a bit of intensity compared to our other midfielders and forwards. Hopefully it's just a case of him taking a couple of weeks to assimilate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is telling Pete is that under Nige, every single game, if we played well or badly, you'd come out with the same old stuff about how silly fans will blame Nige when it's not his fault. Since Manning took over, you've suddenly got shit in your eyes and only post negative comments. With respect 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
