I thought we played well at Leeds, but, I'd rate them and Brentford as the sort of sides we'd really fancy taking on beforehand -I was not confident about Tuesday's games before kick off mind!.
Having watched Tuesday night's match again on IFollow, we looked the sort of team I'd be saying were virtual certainties for promotion if they were anyone else but City - I think it was a real contender for our best performance for getting on for six months, but, for a short while in August and early September we were putting in high quality displays game after game and I'd like to see at least one more performance like Tuesday's in our next game or two before I said we were back at that level.
I''ve just realised of course that the thread title talks of "form" and the truth is that, with seven consecutive victories, our form is better than it ever was early in the season, but I'd still say our current level of performance, although improving, is not at the early season stage yet.
