I think, and hope, that RCC will make the shirt his own. Personally, I have more confidence in him than Burge. He seems to command his area well and his handling is second to none. A star in the making, I think.

I wonder If that was why
Jonathan Gould was down at Yeovil for WBA , or to have a pint with his dad?

He doesn't have to go all that way to see his dad.....

Well he can't do much more than 3 clean sheets froM last 3 games

Nope. He's in possession, he's not beena disaster, and as we don't have Joe Hart in reserve it's not an issue if he plays the next game or not.

RCC - 7 : Looked solid and made a few decent saves, especially one from quite close range.
Ricketts - 7 : Seems to have made a difference having him in the side and we have height right across the back line which is handy in this physical division.
Johnson - 7 : Solid again and did all the basics right. Was more relaxed when he was marking Proctor.
Martin - 7 : Looks very comfortable in this back line.
Stokes - 6.5 : Couple of missed place passes but offered more support to Murphy as the second half went on making space for him.
Vincelot - 6 : Didn't seem to be very involved in the game and sometimes gave the ball away too easy. Very valuable player for us but not his best game today.
Fleck - 7 : Would like to see him advance with then ball more often. Excellent control and pass but always picking up the ball too deep today to do any damage.
Murphy 7.5 : Unlucky not to score first half and went through a bad phase where nothing he did worked but got back in he game and was a real handful in the last 25 minutes.
O'Brien - 7 : Was better in the second half and had a couple of decent long range efforts.
Lameiras - 6.5 : Decent on the ball but always looking to come inside when the ball was played to him. Would like to see him beat his man on the outside as when we broke Fleetwood were getting plenty of men behind the ball and it was getting too crowded.
MAF - 6.5 : Held the ball up well on occasion but too often ended up out wide when we were on a position to get a cross into the box.

G Thomas - 7 : Looked to get forward quickly when in possession which is what was needed late in the game.
C Thomas & Tudgay - Came on too late to give a fair score.


All in all a good performance with a weakened team and a good sign that we can squeeze a result. I've always been a 'glass half empty' type when it comes to supporting City but even I felt like I knew we were going to score going in to the last 10 minutes. Keep winning at home and stealing to occasional away win and were in fora successful season.
