We kick on from here blues!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Not pretty, A shadow of what we are used to watching...

Not very optimistic that it will kick start our season as we look dead on our feet so I'm just going to relax and enjoy the three points.

Main thing is we won the game and that's all the matters in our current form.

I'm not sure we are even trying to press any more. I remember the days of opposition players having 2 or 3 of our players snapping at their heels and forcing mistakes or them to concede possession.

Nowadays we just seem to push 3 or 4 players forward but they stop 5 yards or so from the opposition and try to block passing lanes. That hasn't proved to be very effective IMO as patient teams will find a pass sooner or later and it automatically bypasses 3 or 4 of our players and puts them on the attack.

Either press with a high defensive line, or drop off. A combination of both just doesn't work.

we were int he first half and they played through us with ease...start of the second half the same

The lad doesn't look well

Was sat holding and rubbing his belly on bench when he went off

 

[Bald fraud]

He’s almost in tears there! Love you pep!

I had visitors so couldn't read the Match Day thread and didn't know until at least 10 minutes after it finished so is it worth me watching MOTD2 tonight or will I just get annoyed? :-)

We won Eccles - not that you’d know! Course it’s worth watching

 

[ancoats]

Well played City. We did enough & that's what counts.

The result was the most important thing and was needed so badly

 

[OntarioBlue]

Well Ake came off early so we will just have to wait and see

Hopefully we are just managing his playing time.

How did we get a stroke of luck with the first goal???
Keeper saved Phil's shot and Savio finished really well..

The keeper should be doing a lot better with the initial shot.....that was poor by their keeper
