Very impressive first half. Many many years since passing and ball control of that quality.

Oh for a centre forward.
This is the best balanced City side I’ve seen in years.
Wintle Sawyers Rinomhota in particular
Excellent 1st half, shame we haven’t had a couple more. Need to keep it up but a number of very good performances, especially in the wide areas. I remember when O’Dowda signed and some were concerned about his lack of goals and assists but he’s looking like we will create plenty.
His runs have been superb. The passes are coming way too lateQuote:

Well like Watters has.
Hes had 2 on a plate.Quote:

Lovely football from City. Just need to be more clinical.
I'll admit, I thought O'Dowda and Romeo were the two most average signings but they've both been far better than I thought they'd be. So far at least!Quote:

Got shot on target both timesQuote:

Makes you question why teams release players sometimes, O’Dowda has accuracy, pace, found space, plays off the shoulder, very impressive first half.Quote:

This 100%. So much better to watch than getting played off the park while hoping for a set piece headed goal.Quote:

And the one where the ball was laid off to him but his first touch let him down.
Don't want to bang on because it's been a great performance and even Watters is playing better but he reeeeeeally should be on the scoresheet.
??? 1 he got his feet mixed up and fell on his arse.Quote:

Yup. Collins slips him in and bang, goal... he doesn't get time to think about it.Quote:

He needs a goal badly because ultimately goals is what he will be judged on and i think if he gets one he'll be ok.
Luckily Birmingham haven't offered much and AS YET it hasn't cost us.
Really enjoyable first half it has to be said.
Is that spurs bloke on the bench?..if so..get him on.
I guess it was hard not to be underwhelmed with O’Dowdas stats when he arrived but he’s been great. Looking at that first half though you can see Morison wants certain types of players in certain positions and he fits the bill. Still work in progress but if we continue to at least try and play like this then it’s a step in the right direction.Quote:

I hate to say this but Watters simply isn't up to it. For all his good runs and good positioning there is simply no end product. We should be four up but there is every chance Brum will get an equaliser or worse even though they are not up to much.
Sounds like Harris on for I assume Watters. Probably would have liked Watters to have another 10/15mins
Edit - Watters not well.
Harris on for Watters.
Watters subbed as he isn't feeling well. Gutted for the lad, I'm convinced he just needs one to get his confidence up and he will be flying.
Oh god Watters off Harris on
Surprised it is not Etete....with the chances created it's made for him surely?

I'm not having a moan I promise.
But Kipre is not very quick is he?
I have a feeling that it's going to.Quote:
