SilverPeacock Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Glad we're leading. Think this game could go either way still though. Is it me or is there something seriously wrong with Gabby? Literally been walking around the pitch off the ball with his hands on his hips. Either he isn't happy or he isn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Decent half. Great scoreline. I'll be surprised if we can keep a clean sheet in the second half but we do look more than a little dangerous going forward. I think Stan has been very good. Downing on the other hand has been virtually anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMB Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Glad were ahead - but no brave new world. We look 2nd best by some distance. Really? I think Man City look more organised. A little more skillful. Wouldn't say we look that far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted January 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just to give a bit more context to the two sides on display here - At £18m Darren Bent is our record signing, 50% more expensive than the second costliest player in our history. City have 5 players in their starting XI who cost the same as or more than him, plus another 3 on the bench. We're doing quite well, considering...

kidlewis Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Observation: - Bent scored - We scored too early. We can't defend one goal lead ... or maybe we can but we can't play our own game. - Gabby is no winger rather score early than not at all though. I think the half time team talk is important. we need to spread the play quicker out to gabby and Marc. If we are to pass it around then we need to keep it safe. It's clear Young, Bent and Cuellar are the best of the three tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'd put NRC on and take Gabby off, put Downing on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Not looking forward to this 2nd half. Lets get a 2nd and shut up shop. Gabby to score next (600/1?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunthos Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 We're surprisingly threatening for such a makeshift lineup. We need to keep it up, though, because the only thing that will get our defense through this one is continually reminding City to be wary of the counter.

dudevillaisnice Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Great first half.. we can't hold on to leads so we'll have to score another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just what we've been missing, a true poacher! Loving this so far, other than the defence looking clumsy on set pieces.... Let's have another, Darren! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Clean sheet at half-time....things are looking up! Clarks looking more comfortable in the role I thought. Still not entirely convinced about Downing being so deep, but Gabby's done alright (not sure how long he'll last mind). Bent ain't done jack apart from doing what comes natural to the bloke......and that will do thank you very much. If we stay up and march up the table now, I reckon he'll be worth a million per goal. I'm sure the drop would cost us a lot more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Was Bent pointing to Lerner when he scored ? the second point seemed to be aimed to GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laivasse Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 We're giving it away cheaply and not dominating possession by a long way, but for all that I'd say we look much more snappy than they do in the final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
