Shame about the sloppy defending. Encouraging signs otherwise. We’ve looked far worse against similar standard teams in previous pre-seasons. We’ll know more next week.
In fact, Max Watters has started six Championship games for City:
20/01/21 v QPR - subbed after 55 minutes
30/01/22 v Nottingham Forest - subbed after 57 minutes
02/02/22 v Barnsley - subbed after 56 minutes
15/02/22 v Coventry City - subbed after 37 minutes
23/04/22 v Sheffield Utd - subbed after 66 minutes
27/04/22 v Middlesbrough - subbed after 63 minutes
In the games that Watters has started, City have only scored one goal while he's been on the pitch - Jordan Hugill's 6th-minute strike against Forest.
Great to see Watters getting some goals, I thought he might be moved on but I think he has a place in the squad now. I still expect 2 strikers though.
Some people just can not bring themselves to say anything positive or encouraging about City, no matter what. They nit pick their way through pre season, writing us off at every turn and denigrating players right, left and centre, as if they know or could do better. Their glass half full, negative attitude is just so ingrained they cant do anything about it. They take all the enjoyment out of it for themselves and everybody else.
Some people just cannot bring themselves to read posts properly. They completely fail to see that most fans understandably have concerns about a new squad of largely unknown of players cobbled together for next to nothing, but that those same fans equally hope that it all comes together and that the team is successful. They also ignore the facts and the associated risks (see above) and chose to call anyone who disagrees with them ‘negative’. As if endless ‘positivity’ will make everything OK. The words context, perspective, objectivity and balance don’t appear to exist in their vocabulary.
Deluded.
any updates from the Hereford game?
Norwich wont hammer us what evidence have you got for that ??
I think Morison will be cautiousness frustrate them and try hit them, on the break with the pace we do have , a lot of sides who come down , take an age to familiarises themselves to the league ,pressure wil be more in them than us , and Morison is a war house in this league and knows the league inside out .
Weekly review 24 July 2022.
Four wins and a draw from City's five pre season matches.

I was just about to ask for a link. Always amazed at how you recall all the match detail. Due to a pillar in the way, I couldn't see that Swindon's second took a deflection so thanks for clearing up what appeared to be a very soft goalkeeping effort. Shade deserved MOTM for Swindon. One to watch.
For the pedantics, City's following was 837.
