Re: What does that game tell us?
I don't think this game has shed any new light on this City squad. They put a decent shift, as they usually do despite confidence slowly ebbing away in league games. Our defence is relatively tight - fewer goals conceded than 3rd place Blackburn, but in all honesty you wouldn't have thought Leeds' 1st half performance was from a PL side - albeit a weakened one. League form and cup form are so different - just ask Blackpool, who were absolute dross against us but put Forest out.
I think we look like a side thrown together quickly, and that's no criticism of Morison, it's just what happened. Morison was probably banking on tweaking things in this window, but I'll stick to my original theme from the start of the season, ie if we stay clear of a relegation battle this season, that's a success. The flip side of course is that relegation would be an absolute disaster.
