    They’re in the top half. Whatever you think of them, they’re still in the top half. And we just utterly outclassed and outplayed them.

    Pretty much every team who’s beaten us this season will likely say that about us, so does that make it worth anything less?

    I see those games as winnable, but also a “typical city” kind, both we came through in comfortable fashion, like a team with ambition of the top end should. Best xG performances of the season too. We’d have beaten most teams in the league on Saturday the way we played.

    They've also had a very easy fixture, have very poor underlying stats, and recently replaced their manager. Still, a good performance, but still..

    The warm ups haven’t been good enough.

    The worst warm up I ever saw from a City player was from Zaki. He looked ****ed even before kick off.

    That was always going to be the case for them though, they’ve got a clear identity and are hard to beat in most games. Would’ve won last night too had it not been for a shocking penalty decision

    Before the equaliser went in last night they were two points off the playoffs. But we shouldn't let that detract from the lucky win they gifted us. Dunno what the Rotherham commentators were thinking saying we were the best away side they'd seen this season. We were obviously just lucky on the day.

    He's about as reliable as a 1980's Alfa Romeo.

    A few games ago, people were talking about possible relegation and how no manager could possibly get the ill-assorted group of players we had to play in a coherent and successful way. Andy Dawson has certainly managed to get us playing well over the last two games and has 3 wins out of 6 matches. He's done better than anyone had a right to expect. I wouldn't mind him being given longer if he wants it.

    Nixon is good, especially by his employer’s (admittedly very low) standards.

    A lot of Alfas looked, and sounded OK though.

    He's one of the most reliable, a ****er, but a fairly reliable one.

    Bit harsh to count the one where he had about 6 hours notice when Shota got sacked as well. Of the 5 games he's actually prepared the team he's won 3.

    Quite a feat considering Acun's brought all his mates in for a payday and is in the process of loading us with debt so he can do a runner when he gets bored and gives up - allegedly.

    I knew five brothers in Salisbury who were all good mechanics. One (who worked for an Alfa dealer) went on a tour of the Alfa factory in Italy and asked them where the big vat of salt water was that they dipped the bodies in prior to painting them? The Italians were not amused.

    It seems quite obvious to me the tactical nuance hasn't come from Dawson but more the highly qualified analyst from a European Giant. He comes in the team changes and we start picking up points. Bari x Daws x Rosey could work as Dawson has the belief flowing whilst the other two come across as the football brains.
