.it's like someone just flicked a switch. Absolutely so much to praise about City's performance tonight, but what struck me was that literally I can only recall 3 or 4 'aimless' passes throughout the whole game. Even when City were boxed in they played a few short, simple passes in neat triangles, and opened up play again. It's as if I was watching a completely different team - which to a degree it is - but a few good players and the rest start playing along with them.

Re: Just back from game, and....
Please don’t tell me it’s a dream ……think we need to start a whip round to buy the loan players …..Dramah and Doyle superb
. Hugill held the ball up so well and big Uche looks a handful.
We actually have a proper midfield too! Ralls,Wintle and Doyle … well done all ! :ayatollah: -
Re: Just back from game, and....
It's mad how a teams form can just change almost overnight. I guess Peterborough at home is a good game for anyone to play but still.
Not a bad run coming up eitherComment

Re: Just back from game, and....
Dramah was unreal .. defensively sound but his pace and guile is exceptional. Doyle similarly and Davies is benefitting from so much movement and seeing so much more of the ball.Originally posted by JamesWales View Post
'pace and guile in our team' .. haven't said those words for three years!Comment

Getting four players on loan and two loaners back is how a team changes overnight.Originally posted by JamesWales View PostComment

Re: Just back from game, and....
Our loan signings have made an incredible difference to the side. Drameh, Doyle, Hugill, Ikpeazu - they were all excellent today.Comment

I guess it helps when we have a manager and coaching staff who know what they are doing.Originally posted by JamesWales View PostComment

Re: Just back from game, and....
What struck me is how well they have fitted in, and tonight all put in a huge shift. You often wonder whether players on loan are going to give everything to the cause, but tonight they really did. Credit to them.Originally posted by tforturton View PostComment

Re: Just back from game, and....
Shout out to Isaak Davies who again showed what he is all about, zipping around chasing lost causes, harassing the ball playing defenders, making runs for the ball carrier and not afraid to have a shot.
It should be said that Peterborough weren't the best team to visit the CCS this season but in such an important game for both sides, to a man we went about our business with a confident urgency with one twos and triangles as the OP commented on, the likes of which we've not seen for at least four seasons.
Isaak epitomised the team's work ethic tonight and really deserved a goal but as long as he puts in performances like this every week, they will come. This kid looks like he is going to be one heck of a player.
I must say that the last three league games, all the players, not just those mentioned in this thread, seem to be buying into what the manager has been asking of them.
He was staring down the barrel less than a month ago but some shrewd business in the window with a few loanees slotting in seamlessly, Morison deserves a lot of credit.Comment

I think it’s encouraging that Morison has managed to select the right players on loan.Originally posted by Garth Blue View Post
If he is given a small budget in the summer, maybe he can repeat the featComment

A word to about another "new signing" - what on earth possessed us to loan Wintle out to another Championship club in August?Originally posted by tforturton View PostComment

I agree …what was McCarthy thinking.?Comment

Re: Just back from game, and....
I think a lot of the credit has to go to the fans on Sunday.
The players who sat out that game must have been impressed by the passion,
and then turned up to play really pumped!Comment
