Yep. Work rate is excellent, just needs the technical side of his game to catch up.

Poll 4?

 

[rhino1002]

We looked great against 11 they had a man sent off and we fell apart
Lati Dovin and Eccles did their best to give it away
We scored 3 had 3 disallowed missed two very good chances (sitters ) and played very poorly but hey ho we Won

 

[wingy]

Only 14 PTS behind, no problem!

 

[Calista]

If you looked at us playing 532 last season and thought it was the way forward i dont know what to say

I think everyone's shocked it's working now, but we'll take it

Hate it when people claim to speak for everybody else.

Shows how different things can be viewed in football.

thoughy Lati was fine and Eccles played well and took his goal nicely

 

[shmmeee]

For the few on here keeping count.

 

[Evo1883]

Hopefully the team are growing in confidence and the season is turning.

Fact is we've pulled ourselves to a good spot again and a win midweek would be absolutely massive for us

 

[Ricketts]

Oggy thought it was mason Clarke down injured....

You’re as bad as them

He said Dasilva.

 

[RegTheDonk]

Great result well done City. Putting in a decent cross does pay dividends. Haji a goal and an assist was awesome and lovely cool finish from Josh showing how it's done one on one.

Can we start a Robbins in poll now?

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Glad we have baptiste coming on

We were playing Brighton a few times today too

 

[glasgowfan]

Really ticking now.

6 behind West Brom in 6th who haven’t won in 7

4 points behind 7th placed Blackburn

3 points above the relegation zone

 

[Alkhen]

His goals have won us 7 points. Draw at QPR, wins against Oxford and Luton.

We are 3 points above relegation.

Let me guess, you’re one of those that hammers him each week because he ‘doesn’t run’.

Doesn't work like that though does it.

Wright's a focal point in this team, he's doing his job well but a lot of play is directed through him. Doesn't mean we couldn't function at all without him. Taking Wright out would have meant someone else would have been in his place and taking up his positions who knows what would have happened.

Wright's quality but he's part of a team and has benefited again today from good build-up play from a team mate. Let's just enjoy the fact the team has found a bit of confidence and not trying making weird narratives

You can argue that Lati is our best cb at defending

 

[stevefloyd]

Did Clive just say Baptiste instead of Bassette

He did indeed, I thought who the hell is that

Explains how Liverpool bounced back, the opposition literally disappeared

I'll happily say Lati looks decent in this formation, even though he's dire in all others. Makes sense though as it's what he was originally recruited for.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Wright now third top scorer in the league

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I'll happily say Lati looks decent in this formation, even though he's dire in all others. Makes sense though as it's what he was originally recruited for.

Think he was originally signed to play RWB. Irrelevant now though, clearly looks most comfortable in the middle of a back 3.

RWB? Are you sure? Gives me shivers thinking about it.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Dizzy heights of 13th and Derby at home tuesday

We play them 2 days in a row?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

RWB? Are you sure? Gives me shivers thinking about it.

Think it's where he played for Swansea

Thomas had an excellent game as well, keep it up!!

 

[Para1140]

Bellingham red carded for Scumberland. 3 game ban just in time for next week

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Think it's where he played for Swansea

Only after they had injuries and had to play there. He was bought as a CB in a 3

 

[Evo1883]

[warwickskyblue]

But 532 doesn't work anymore......

Or 3-4-3 / 3-4-1-2 which is pretty much what Amorim will be bringing to Man Utd!

 

[Macca]

Be great to beat Derby and really get the feel good factor back. Go to Sunderland with no pressure

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Thought we were very good bar 15-20 mins in the second half. Safely escaped falling victim to a football cliche and fucking it up against 10 men. We’re now on a good run and improving. Expect this to continue and for us to pass an imminently about to implode Sunderland around the new year.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Mason Clark lost a bit of weight ? Thought he looked livelier today. Unlucky not to score

I just said that as well! Hopefully he comes good for the run in

 

[David O'Day]

Think it's where he played for Swansea

yeah but we signed him as a cb, we also signed saka and mve that window

 

[Warwickhunt]

However they come, a lot of players should take a lot of confidence from this. No least Dovin who at last can enjoy a clean sheet.

Don't know what goes through Dovins head when he does those stupid passes and nearly give a goal away

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Dr Claire has had him on the 5:2

 

[Johhny Blue]

Will there be a poll later?

Grease up just in case
