Another good win today but not a great performance. Maybe not surprising as we had a lot of the best and most experienced players missing. Fiorini, Palmer , Delap to name just 3 and that's just from the attacking perspective.
1 nil at half time thanks to Robertson's goal after a top run from Wilson-Esbrand but the second half was as poor as I can recall from City. Giving the ball away constantly and although BBurn were better it was very much City playing poorly
Having said that a great through ball , I think from captain Joe Hodge set McNeill away and he swowed good pace to come in from the left and beat the keeper from the angle.
Some very dangerous attacks from BBurn where we didnt look at all solid but last ditch blocks and a few good saves from Slicker was crucial until a crazy mistake gifted them a goal . But we hung on and Bynoe-Gittens should have scored from a Slicker clearance but missed the 1 on 1 chance.
