Let's not get carried away. They had about 3 or 4 decent chances inside our box and seemingly plenty of time with them too, but their shooting was woeful thankfully.
We're very much still developing as a side and as a playing philosophy, but it's great to watch and they all seem to be enjoying themselves again.
Up the City!
Whatever happens between now and May, for me these last four months have been the most enjoyable since the 2011/12 season.
Don't forget we also hit the bar before the break and Zohore could easily have had a second, so arguably we should have been further away. I think we were comfortably in charge of that game other than about 10 - 15 minutes after half time when they pushed to try and get back in the game.Quote:

For once luck went our way.
Long time since I've seen so many City players beat men.
Harris and Hoilett gave their right back a tuning, and Zohore's run for his goal. Left 3 defenders for dead.
Game died a bit last 20, but apart from that was a decent bit of entertainment.
Pity there wasn't a few more there to see it.
Nice to see McGregor have a decent game.
Lots of positives against a decent looking Preston side.
Also, another strange refereeing performance.
I thought for a while he was just letting players be physical, then he seemed to give a run of free kicks.
He clearly doesn't like Hoilett- he allowed him to be battered without giving him a sniff.
Yes, quite a few incidents left our players flattened for some time until the ball went out and the ref finally went over to have a look.Quote:

We are certainly moving in the right direction.
Onwards and upwards!

For me the most satisfying performance this season. Bamba marked no.25 Hugill out of the game. The wingers were getting down the flanks and causing problems. Zohore seems to improve with every game. McGregor brought off a great save and is settling in nicely. Gunnars was Gunnars. Very pleased and a good night to be a City fan. :ayatollah:
Apart from giving him the softest of penalties.Quote:
