Greg

Read the other thread that I was posting in from my mobile while I was at the match.

He looked fit enough so yes, N'Zogbia was shocking at left back against City and we could do with his creativity in midfield.

Looked well off the pace, some nice passes and set Godsmark through on goal midway through the first half, could tell he hadn't played for a while.

A proven Premiership player and our most promising young defender not a match for young Citeh players. Worrying sign. Massive over reaction from a few lines about City opening us up on the break!! Edgar was class, won everything in the air and solid in the tackle, good at reading the game and some very good interceptions. Faye is just a beast, won everything in the air and can head the ball a very long way, he often used is strength to get us out of dodgy situations. The fact we were opened up a few times by City on the break was more to do with Pattison and Emre in the middle being upfield and then our defence being overran by the City midfield. All in all it was a very good game and a decent performance, Pattison had a decent game in midfield, Lua Lua showed glimpses for amazing skill. Enrique looked solid at the back and very dangerous going forward when he did go forward. Emre had a decent game, as you would expect from someone of his quality at this level, he sat deep for most of the first half but got more involved in the second half, thought he was going to get himself sent off when he went marching over to start on one of the City kids who had just caught him with a late tackle after he had played a pass, thankfully Edgar jogged over and prevented him from doing anything stupid. Forster in net was class, he really has developed so much in the last year or so, his shot stopping today was top class, his kicking needs a lot of work but his distribution via his hands was very good, can throw the ball a very long way and he is quick to spot an opening, run to the edge of his box and get us going on counter attacks. After the game I spoke to Lee Clark (miserable git), Faye (seemed so small when he looks massive on the pitch), Emre (flash git, had a leather wash bag with his own personalized silver plaque) and finally I had a few words in Spanish with Jose Enrique, just said told him I could speak a little bit of Spanish and that he played well, his response in Spanish was 'Thanks, I can't speak any English, sorry.'

Full time 2 2. Was a good game to be honest, i'm off home!

Attendance 500, think they made that up to be honest! Morris on for edgar

Clayton on for etuhu for them

2 2 brilliant play from enrique gets to the by line and pulls it back for Doninger who can't miss from 6 yards! 2 2

2 1 city scored by ashley grimes

Donaldson and Doninger on for danquah and Barton at half time

Half time 1 1 we've been poor, emre has sat very deep and linking up play, some nice passing in triangles with enrique. Barton has been ok, some good passes, you can tell he has been out for a while, Faye and edgar have been solid in the air but city have opened us up a few times on the break, it's fucking freezing

1 1 emre bent a free kick in the top corner

1 0 city ched evans,

City on top, 3 great saves from Forster

0 0 after 10 mins, should have had a penalty for a foul on pattison, most the crowd boo barton a few cheered him, posting from my mobile

I had a dream last night that we were playing Man United at Old Trafford, we were playing really well and Damien Duff put us 1-0 up just before half time, I ran onto the pitch, went mental celebrating the goal with the players, took out the corner flag and waved it round my head then ran off and tried to hide in the home end, then midway through the second half the police found me and arrested me.

No, still here.

Missed Monday with a hamstring injury picked up against Wigan.

He'll need the op within weekis. I reckon his England duties are getting in the way of common sense. I don't care what Allardyce or the Club say I reckon he's fucked. He was talking about Viduka.

He could be playing in the game tonight.

Eventually got the striker, RB and CB but still no clue on the LB. He plays for Fulham.

One if Greek, one is French and was a full back really.

12 striker includes his first name if that helps. He wasn't very good. One of the CB's was French, LB was used all over the back 4 but not usually at left back. Got the french one (so i need the other 1), just twigged on the LB, but the striker stills escapes me. Why add his 1st name? From Croatia.

No, I'm giving away some of the names here, but Speed got two, Solano and Ketsbaia got the others.
