1. Result was in doubt until the final whistle.
2. The banks of midfield and defence closed them down and restricted their movement.
3. Jack Simpson take a bow,
4. Ake..As ever. On the money.
5. 0 shots. 0 corners....Read item 1 again.
6. 9 points clear. 9 to go.
7. Next 7 winnable games (Tho we won't)
8. Brooks back, tho no match fit. Wilson next week possibly.
9. Some real fight today, unlike the junk served up on Wednesday.
 
Result was in doubt enough to have them trying to keep it in the corners at the end running the clock down.

After Wednesday I doubt many of us wanted them to have a good go at them. Howe was right to park the bus then go for it a bit towards the end. They did it pretty well and I'm happy enough. City were excellent yet still struggled to create clear cut chances. Hopefully AFCB will.take heart from this and start to smash teams again. Need to start turning in performances away from home now too.
 
Come up with all the stats you like - we were a disorganised mess on Wednesday, worst I've seen for a long time. Today we needed shape and discipline and we got that. Obviously a result would have been brilliant but the most important thing was a return to defensive shape to give them confidence going into the winnable run of fixtures.
 
Look at those stats John....how can anyone we we 'in it' up to the final whistle....we're the first side EVER in the PL to register 0 shots at home ....thats what i call embarrassing....not getting beat 5-1.

We should at least finish 3-3-3 and 12 points in the last 9, if not better than that.

I’m sure we will, but if we don’t then very serious questions will be asked.
 
Great effort by the lads, just set the balance a bit too defensively, we set the team up to frustrate City and we worked ever so hard, I don’t want to be too critical as Boruc did make some good saves but thought he should have done better with the goal, if he tips it round the post we might have scraped a 0-0 which everyone would have been happy with irrespective of the stats.
 
Apparently we’re getting relegated next season

Effin grow up.
I know what you are alluding at.

I reckon we will be relegated next season..
Yep!
An opinion.

Reasons, if your tiny effing cranium can take it is are.

1. A few players will more than likely be picked off.
2. 14 points in 19 games.

IT'S AN OPINION. GOT IT!
AM I NOT ALLOWED IT?
 
A decent post Al, I still don’t see any reason we would get relegated next season and I think that’s one prediction you’ll regret making.

We never looked like scoring but at the same time you felt like we were one corner or one freekick away from a decent opportunity.

My reaction, Al, is that most of your posts attempt to deal with FACT. So when you offer up an "opinion" like that one, it resonates differently with me than say if it came from someone else.
