I think we just deserve it.

Preston are tidy but when they come forward they run out of ideas and start to play it around when we’ve got out defence and midfield behind the ball.

When we go forward we’re looking for through balls and openings.

Beat the Deepdale curse now lads.

I love Gyokeres and all of our strikers generally, but there are some finishes that only Tyler can do.

This and that one at Watford last season

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I’d have been buzzing if we made that two then

Not sure how it stayed out from here

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

How many City do you reckon are there?

1247

 

[Liquid Gold]

Some finish that was. Couldn't get excited though coz you fuckers spoiled it for me.

I thought he’d messed it up but absolutely leathered it into the top corner

 

[stupot07]

Get in!! Great finish from Walker. More than deserved, we've been the better side.

My Walker bet is sailing in this season. Easy money

 

[ccfc92]

Such a shame we couldn't have slid that 41st min chance in.

Need to be at them from start and pressure them, they'll crumble.

Any reason why both teams are doing the 6 yard goal kick routine, wind etc?

 

[procdoc]

Good half that, very professional performance and we look like we can still go up a few gears

What was the bet?

““When I score I don't celebrate, its my job, does a postman celebrate when he delivers post?” — Mario Balotelli” — Tyler Walker

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Good first half. Managed to get the lead just before half time.

Keep it up boys.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Excellent OHare

Brilliant one two with Dabo

 

[COV]

We are clearly better than Preston, bit more clinical and we can have this wrapped up without the dreaded nervous final mins protecting a lead

 

[Johnnythespider]

We've got 4 good strikers this season, competition is a good thing and we can rotate them when needed, it's looking good

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

How many City do you reckon are there?

About 1300-1500

[stay_up_skyblues]

Get in. Lethal Walker is when he gets a sniff. Good half that, a few bits of the football was outrageous. The SBA are coming through loud and clear on the telly, incredible support

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Looks like 1500..sounds like 5000.

But probably 1100

 

[Great_Expectations]

Great finish, very accomplished.

His all round game has been good today too, lots of dropping deep to get the ball an lay it off, plus his usual movement.

We absolutely deserve the lead. As I said 20 minutes ago, we’re dominating and not even playing our best yet.

Preston will have their 10 minutes I’m sure, but as it stands there’s only one winner. We’re the better team by some way.

 

[kg82]

Good half, we’ve played well. Shut Johnson out for them. He’s the one getting space and picking balls.

 

[COV]

How many City do you reckon are there?

About 1,200 apparently? Sounds like more

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

WE SCORED A FIRST HALF GOAL

 

[hill83]

What was the bet?

Someone said he wouldn’t get over 5 goals or something. So I said every goal over 5 he pays £1 to a charity of my choice.
Basically he was being negative about one of our players and I bit.

Can’t remember the exact detail, but it was brought up the other day.

Edit: Found it

“Every goal below 15 I’ll donate £2 to a charity of your choice. Every goal over 5 he scores you donate £2 to a charity of my choice and apologise to everyone.”

Bit edgy now I’ve realised it’s 15 goals but fuck it. Exciting

 

[ccfcmad1]

For the first time in forever we have four strikers amongst the goals brilliant

 

[CCFCSteve]

Great finish by Walker that was in the end, especially as he was off balance. Well deserved lead as well, played some really good stuff in patches.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Haha

At he moment (as long as we don't give a howler) I don't mind playing out from the back, as they are not at all effective with the press. Apart from Johnson (on occasions) and Earl on the left getting in behind Dabo on their left flank, they've looked very average. Glad Kelly is there to do the dirty stuff. One more goal and I think we win.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Shooting towards our vocal support 2nd half too.

 

[covmark]

Decent first half. It's plainly obvious that we're the better team. Just need to get a 2nd to kill them off. Preston really aren't great, except for Earle on the left, he is causing Dabo some issues.

It’s great because all the strikers know they have to perform to stay in the team

Dabo defensively is weak and it will be interesting if they push up if he gets Kane on. He’s defensively better

Yep, agree with that. We've had a couple of sloppy moments too, giving it away in dangerous areas & letting them in behind so far from done.

We’re keeping it pretty tight so far and not getting stretched too much. A bit more quality in the final third and we’ll bag more

Waghorn chomping at the bit. And Godden back Saturday after his Fulham performance.
