SWANSEA [H] the verdict .... Mehmeti the architect of victory

Season 5, Ep. 24

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.

    01:26:06||Season 7, Ep. 8
    City had the perfect start at Deepdale when a flowing move after just 3 minutes ended with Scott Twine scoring from close range.

    01:24:51||Season 7, Ep. 6
    Dom Ballard's strike on 85 minutes was good enough to win any game and it's execution was of the highest order. It put City in front for a second time but they were denied the three points their performance deserved by a questionable penalty which Birmingham scored in the very last minute.This was a much improved performance after City's opener against Millwall last weekend with Scott Twine playing a major part in it.Dave Tovey hosts the review with Ant Banks, Adam Taylor and David Pottier
  • 5. MILLWALL [H] the verdict ...... Randell you numpty and Skubala has a lot to learn

    01:21:45||Season 7, Ep. 5
    DaveP and the panel review a disappointing start to the season as City lost 2-0 at home to Millwall.The Lions were strong early on but City fought their way back into the game until Randell's foolish challenge earned him a second yellow card and after that there was only going to be one winner.Both goals conceded were soft and there appears little understanding between Dickie and goalkeeper Tickle who makes no attempts to dominate his 6 yard area and take crosses.Skubala has played in a particular formation most of pre-season but threw all that out of the window for this game and why he elected to wait until half time before making the logical substitution which would have made 10 man City more solid only he will know.More of this and it could be a long hard season.
