WATFORD [A] the verdict ..... fighting spirit secures a point

City came away with nothing from the CBS Arena and were left to reflect on a disallowed goal that with VAR probably would have stood, a defensive lapse which cost what proved to be the winning goal and a goalkeeper producing a string of saves to deny the point they deserved,A tough game home to inform Boro next weekend is the curtain raiser to a sequence of 5 games in 16 days which will define City's season and, in the panel's view, influence transfer window activity.

Two down at half-time City fought back to level in an entertaining game at Ashton Gate.City were poor in the opening 45 minutes and Struber must have given them a rollicking at half time as they scored a minute after the restart which signalled a level of performance as good as anything we have seen this season.With 20 games gone we're sat in 10th but it is such a congested league we have every chances of going into the new year in the play off spots if we can achieve a level of consistency.

DaveP is joined by Neil, Dave & Mark in assessing City's defeat against the Lions at Ashton GateYes, City played some good football, had some great chances to level after Millwall's early second half goal and had a goal chalked off in injury time for a questionable offside decision but the fact is we've only won two of the last 7.The panel were split in their opinion of the ructions at the final whistle. One could argue tensions were high after the disallowed goal and Knight waded into Millwall manager Alex Neill after he had disrespected Gerhard Struber.. Whilst everyone else getting involved shows the spirit of togetherness within the squad the counter is that a higher level of self discipline ought to have been on show. Hosted on Acast.

City played their best football for a while in the first half at Fratton Park and duly led thanks to a wonderfully crafted team goal finished off my Anis Mehmeti.A much better display then against Wrexham but off the pace in the second half and McCrorie just does not look fit.6 matches in 24 days starting next weekend against Millwall will define our season.Dave Tovey hosts the analysis with Mark, Tom & Dave P Hosted on Acast.

A disappointing night as City stumbled to defeat and leaves us with only one win in our last 5 games. Hardly play off form and in a congested league table despite being in 7th position we are only 4 points off 17th.We never got started and when Broadhead put the home team in front on 16 minutes it was no more than they deserved. City played themselves back into the game and if McCrorie's goal had been allowed to stand just before the break it might have been a different outcome as they stated the second period with some purpose.Once Wrexham scored their 2nd direct [as good as] from a corner with 74 mins on the clock it was game over as City didn't even press in search of a consolation goal.DaveP discusses the action with Ant Banks and Toveys Dave & Mark Hosted on Acast.

Anis Mehmeti provided the assist for all the goals in a solid 3-0 victory over Swansea. Such a feat in one game by a single player had not been achieved in the past 10 years and it only served to prove what a loss he will be if he walks away for nothing in the summer having refused to sign the contract offer that has been on the table for months - surely a revised document will be tabled to him sooner rather than later.City were always in command without being in full control but the win consolidates their play off position and was a welcome boost with two away games coming in the next week.DaveP discusses the action with Dave Tovey and Tom from The Robins Nest.

City proved the doomsayers wrong as they emerged from Watford with a well deserved point.When the Hornets scored after 6 minutes a heavy defeat was on the cards in the eyes of most City fans but the players responded to a man and a Twine free kick special was enough to send the fans back down the M4 in a happy mood.Time for a well earned break before an even more testing sequence of fixtures.DaveP is joined by Neil Sutton, Ant Banks & Dave Tovey Hosted on Acast.

A day to forget for City who were 3 down inside 25 minutes, one of the goals being down to a howler from Vitek !No one on their A-game and the injury crisis deepens with Atkinson suffering a hamstring pull.Dave Tovey hosts the review with Dave P, Mark Tovey & Ant Banks Hosted on Acast.

DaveP is joined by Neil Sutton plus Mark & Dave Tovey in reviewing a game which saw City win three-in-a-row for the first time in nearly 2 years. It confirmed their best start to a season since 2020/21.Not only did Armstrong score with the type of goal that could become his trademark but his all round contribution built upon the marked improvement shown in recent matches.It was a defensive masterclass as City kept a clean sheet, their 5th this season. The goal was under siege for virtually all of the second half although Vitek did not have to make any saves of note Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
