spudski Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 2 minutes ago, 2015 said: Blackburn are terrible This game is being played like a pre season friendly. City safe...nothing to play for, and knocking it around with no pressure. Blackburn awful...they are far from safe. Just jogging about. Blackburn fans should be more than concerned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 To be fair I think we deserve more credit here. We are forcing Blackburn to make so many errors. They can’t live with it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 First half, well that all seemed a bit easy, comfortable. Well done, though, punish the errors. Delighted for Tommy, 11 for the season (9 in league). Blackburn so unimaginative, but let’s not take any credit away from City though, efficiently good. Knight and Williams winning back lots of loose ball, giving opportunity to get players forward. Roberts getting up with Pring too. Lets not ease up, hopefully see JKL. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 6 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: They've been poor at the back all season. They started as a glass cannon and that cannon shattered back in the autumn. I'm not actually able to watch so are we actually playing well, and with a plan, or is it that Blackburn are just that poor? Bit from A and a bit from B. We haven’t created masses off our own steam but don’t need to - in addition to the two goals the Sykes chance comes from an abysmal header straight to us and Tommys hat trick chance is a back pass. We’re pressing them higher because they’ve got a huge number of mistakes in them and that’s leading to openings. They also look pretty toothless up top. Goals came at a good time as they were getting on top but if you’ve got that level of mistake in you as a team you’ll lose more than you win. Column A - they’ve given us our four best chances Column B - at least two of those, maybe three, don’t happen without the higher press Oh, and can someone please attack the back stick on Twines corners.. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 10 minutes ago, TonyTonyTony said: How on earth did they beat Sunderland 5-1? This league is so random. My theory is that there is very little between most teams in the Championship, and so games very easily go one way or the other without much rhyme or reason - and that the outcome has more to do with how effective each team’s tactical approach is against that particular opposition, than who on paper is the “better” team. I think our tendency to do better against “better” teams is a demonstration of that. In a division like the Premier League where the difference in quality is more obvious and polar, it tends to be more predictable and the tactical approach is less likely to affect the ultimate outcome of the game. If that makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfitInMyPocket Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 We are playing okay, nothing special. They wouldn't make four changes at HT if they weren't playing terrible.
