Wonder what the ER haters will latch onto now?

I'm never a fan of saying a team was "lucky" to win just because the opponents had chances or majority possession or whatever - I wouldn't say we were especially "lucky" against Burton, they were just poor at finishing. As Clough said (I'm paraphrasing) they wasted a performance.

That might just be that Burton aren't good in front of goal; in which case, that story will repeat itself a few times this season, and it won't be "lucky" every time they do. If they play against Sunderland, losing 1 or 2 nil, but have 20 poor efforts on goal, nobody will say Sunderland were lucky.

Having said that, it was still a matter of concern that Burton got into four of five very good positions.

While anyone can say "a better side would have stuck those chances away", it's a moot point and irrelevant to both the game and analysis of the performance. Not every game against better opposition will be as open as that game, because the situation will be different for both teams (home team desperate for a performance and therefore happy to attack, away team looking for third straight win and therefore happy to attack).

For me, Burton looked like they had a useful midfield, but little up front. That suited us, because we are definitely not in a position where we look like scoring more than 1 goal in many games.

 

We haven’t played well for 20 consecutive minutes yet. Four games (360mins) and we’ve yet to show any sign of form. At least under McCall and any manager that has had any success at City, we showed some signs of form. Yes we’ve won games in the past that we haven’t deserved, but we had some signs of form at that time.

That’s my point..!!

 

I bet it was worked out by the same people that's responsible for calculating the attendance for matches at VP.

What you reckon then?

 

Didn't realise she was a City fan. You live and learn.

 

Im fast turning into a rahic hater

 

After time ansell is here.

I’ve already stated what I think at great length on here.

We change shape again and it killed us in my opinion. Tactically naive. No continuity

We created nothing of note in the first half and only really started to test them when Gibson came on and fired in some good crosses. Which for me showed they were there for the taking at the back. However we played safety first football and got beat with two mistakes costing us the goals

 

Banners and tennis balls at the next home game? I'm getting a banner sorted next week.
