Good early pressuring from Bakayoko

[Johhny Blue]

Come on City. We're still in this,

 

[Nick]

Keeper's first kick is straight!

Baka looks isolated already.

Bright is number 10 behind him with Hiwula left

 

[Nick]

Great ball from Kelly to Bright, Bright tries to touch it round the player and go round but doesnt quite get it.

Already been tempted to go long to baka a couple of times too. Hope it's just the frantic opening 10 mins and we settle down and cut that out. Mason already given a needless foul away too, he does seem to have a tendency for that.

 

[Nick]

Stockdale first goal kick direct to one of our players heads.

 

[Nick]

Some good forward play, Bayliss plays it just in front of Baka who cant get there but Hiwula wins a corner.

 

[Nick]

Bright on the corner. Not bakayoko as CWR say

 

[Nick]

Stockdale long kick, Hiwula then Thomas try to get a cross in but corner won.

 

[Nick]

Bright is taking weird but decent corners.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Bright is taking weird but decent corners.

Weird how?

 

[Nick]

Thomas free kick straight to their keeper.

They go long and look to go through but Thomas is there and blocks him off.

Stockdale just hammers it out.

 

[Nick]

Weird how?

Strange technique. Not high but not low.

 

[glasgowfan]

Strange technique. Not high but not low.

Normal height then?

 

[Nick]

Looks like they are putting Andrew near Mason for the height difference.

 

[Nick]

Normal height then?

sort of chest height.

 

[capel & collindridge]

Strange technique. Not high but not low.

Wow, head high! There's an innovation.

 

[Nick]

Wow, head high! There's an innovation.

Chaplin's head maybe.

 

[oucho]

How are we looking early doors?

 

[Nick]

How are we looking early doors?

Same as usual, going forward and pressuring but not really doing much. Keeper not tested.

 

[capel & collindridge]

Sorry, not invented yet.

 

[Nick]

Bayliss takes his man on well and tries to put a ball through but too much on it.

 

[Nick]

They look like they might be dangerous on the counter.

 

[Nick]

They are trying to bully us a bit.

Baka has had a bit off the ball as has Thomas.

 

[Nick]

The pitch is pretty bad as well.

 

[higgs]

Thomas has been crap since his loan was extended he needs to step it up

Been ok so far. I think Bright takes too many touches, tries to show how great he is. He's basically a slightly better Nazon.
Hyam impressive so far.

 

[chiefdave]

Did we kick off a few minutes late or is ifollow further behind than usual?

It's miles behind.

They did the 15 minute applause when the clock was on 13.

I think they're behind. Gillingham just won a corner

 

[Nick]

Penalty shout for them. They go to put a cross in and I think hyam turns his back and it hits him.

They've always been a bit slow up north.

 

[Nick]

Just did it then, diagonal ball with Andrew heading it into the box.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Lovely ball from Kelly (Can't pass), good ball from Sterling just needs Bright to attack the box, fuck knows where he was

 

[Nick]

Great ball from Kelly to Sterling. Great cross from Sterling but just in front of Baka who dives for it.
