The quality of finish for Robinson's first cannot be overstated.
The touch itself took him away from goal, he did well to get it out of his feet, but to swivel and guide a powerful shot into the far corner was just superb.
Ashford's assist for the winner was just as impressive, the vision and quality of pass were top notch.
Great result which even the most optimistic amount fans could not have predicted and one which the players and staff should take great heart from going into the Coventry game (albeit we are at home! :hide:)
Why are you singling Colwill out? As was mentioned on here in the Oxford thread he didn’t have a great game and certainly went missing in the 2nd half but he wasn’t the worst performer on the day.Quote:

However they all played much better today and Colwill also contributed as a late sub.
There was a definite change of tactics today to get the ball forward more quickly and then win the 2nd balls which we did well and yes perhaps this style of play suits Colwill much less but I don’t know why you single him out instead of , for example, Bagan and Meite who also lost their places
I get the feeling you think he has an “easier ride “ than others because he’s “ one of ours” but that would be true for fans of all clubs with their academy players.
He needs to provide a lot more than shown in the last 10 games but I genuinely hope he succeeds
I rarely get involved in the numerous Colwill discussions on this board, but I’ve found his performances very frustrating of late and he was poor at Oxford - something a number of contributors disputed and gave me some stick for daring to say as much.Quote:

I didn’t see the game today, but it’s interesting to me that the team apparently looked better in Colwill’s absence. If that offends anyone, so be it.
After roundly criticising the display against Oxford it is right to equally praising them for the victory at Watford. When you put a shift in and have pace in the side it's surprising what can be achieved.
Well done, City.

In all fairness credit to the entire team and Riza for lifting them to this win after the debacle at Oxford. I'd like to see Ashford, Tanner and Robinson as nailed on starters. There's optimistic signs we can build on this performance.
Very happy. 2 well worked goals. Hopefully we can push on from here.
Shame that we may have 2 more out, ODowda and Willock, but at least we have Tannerback.
Sorry but Colwill is a one trick pony and as such is waste of space
Neither.Quote:

This is how teams can accommodate an attacking 10.
Look how average Man City look now that Silva, Gundogen and De Bruyne's legs have gone and they are missing Rodri's physicality.
So, I'm going to say it; Colwill is one of the few players we have who has the ability to rise above our current malaise but the imbalance (a kind word for crapness) of the midfield and the wide players makes it, on times, right to leave him out.
