SWANSEA [A] the verdict ....... happy with a point but it could have been 3!
Season 5, Ep. 13
•
The opening half was one City would prefer to forget as they looked disjointed and out of sorts. Yes, the goal that gave the Swans an interval lead could have been disallowed on another day but only the post prevented a second goal after more lackadaisical defending.
In the second period City were much better, Knight's powerful header from Twine's corner bringing the scores level and on the balance of play in the closing 20 minutes a winning goal would have been no less than City deserved.
DaveP reviews the match action with Neil, Mark & Ian.

18. LEEDS UTD [H] the verdict ..... no goals but an intriguing game
01:01:01||Season 5, Ep. 18DaveP, Mark & Ian discuss a game in which City matched their illustrious opponents and extended their unbeaten run to 7 games.The game was preceded by an emotional tribute from the fans to the Manning family for the loss of baby Theo.Defensively City were great, losing McCrorie was a blow but Morrison did enough as a late sub to suggest he should start at PNE, up front the late combo of Armstrong & Mayulu did not spark in a way that is likely to see it happen again!!!17. STOKE [A] the verdict ......
01:00:28||Season 5, Ep. 17DaveP, Tom Sutton and Ian analyse the key talking points from an exhilarating game at the Bet365 Stadium.Awful defending by us, superb goalkeeping by Johannson, Nahki's brace & moreWe also look forward to the upcoming Leeds game.16. BORO [A] the verdict .... rode our luck at times but deserved the win
01:01:42||Season 5, Ep. 16DaveP is joined by Ian Gay and debutant Dave "The Turtle" Tovey in discussing the game at the Riverside where the result exceeded expectations.You can see why Boro have the division's worst shot conversation rate with 2 on target out of 20 today but for me this was City best performance over the whole 90 minutes so far this season.In a difficult week for all associated with the club due to Liam's tragic loss it is a credit to all the players that they put in the effort and got the result they deserved. Extra credit must go to Chris Hogg who rose to the occasion and, on today, showed we need not worry about how long Liam needs away from the pressures of Championship football.15. CARDIFF [H] the verdict ..... points make prizes, draws don't
01:00:26||Season 5, Ep. 15Luke McNally's powerful headed goal saved a point for City in another lack lustre performance.On the upside, the unbeaten run is extended to 4 games.DaveP is joined by Ian, Mark & Paul Hunt in reviewing the action.14. SHEFF WED [H] the verdict ..... now unbeaten in 3, what's not to like?
56:42||Season 5, Ep. 14Ian, Mark & DaveP discuss a disappointing evening at Ashton Gate.12. Oxford [h] the verdict ...Yu the difference as Manning sees sense over Twine
01:19:12||Season 5, Ep. 12Not for the first time this season City had the chances to be well in front before Oxford Oxford took a lead that could have been doubled before the break had the impressive Dembele's shot gone in instead of crashing against the bar.The introduction of Yu for Williams at half time was a masterstroke by Manning in that it allowed Twine to assume the role he was brought in for. The diminutive Japanese winger lifted City with his energy & close control setting up Knight to cross for Armstrong's close range equaliser and then his pass to Roberts drew a penalty conceding foul by Harris which sub Nahki Wells converted with aplomb.It was a decent performance, no more than that, but if Yu carries on as he started then City have signed a real gem. Can he play on the left? If yes then he switches over there for the soon to be returning Earthy to play on the right.Ian, Mark, Neil, & DaveP discuss the action & more.11. BLACKBURN [A] the verdict ...... sort this out young man!
01:08:11||Season 5, Ep. 11It seems no lessons were learned by Liam Manning from the previous 0-3 score at Derby as City crashed to defeat at Ewood Park.A bad, and rare, mistake from Max put City on the backfoot before two thunderous shots in the second half from Blackburn's Japanese import Ohashi completed a miserable afternoon.DaveP discusses the match action with Les, Mark & Ian10. DERBY [A] the verdict ..... a VERY bad day at the office
01:09:24||Season 5, Ep. 10After a humbling defeat against the Rams City go into the international break with a very mediocre 5 points from the 12 available so far.DaveP, Mark & Ian attempt to find some positives from a poor display in front of 3000 travelling fans whose hopes have been raised of a play off challenge after a transfer window when Liam Manning's had everything he could have asked for!!!
