City on the back foot, struggling to get up the pitch, and then in the 85th minute, 40yd cross field ball to his feet, and he lets it go past him. Then a couple of gentle jogs back and across the pitch. He was subbed as a sub last season, which brought accusation of cruelty from some. Methinks he's wanted away for a while.
I don't think he wants away, it's just not happening for him here though.
to keep getting chances he must be doing well in training, but just isn't doing it on match day. although as a few have pointed out he was on for a bit of a hiding to nothing today as we weren't doing any attacking once he came on
I think that's why we went 2 in centre midfield. It allowed us to get one more body forward and we played well with that system, despite missing several chances.
With all the new players we brought in, we're going to be inconsistent and look awful at times. We need patience and time to let things bed in.
Settling down after this win ......
And what a win !
Did anyone fancy our chances up there ?
I thought we were going to get leathered
Kipre was class. That’s a great result yesterday, on the whole Hudson ain’t doing too bad at all. Two of the losses we had early red cards..
I’ve been critical on this thread, mainly about the ‘batten down the hatches’ approach with the subs and second half performance but it’s wonderful to be critical after a great away win. Hell of a boost for Hudson learning a bit more about his players while gaining three points. In hindsight a 1-0 win with a, sometimes, backs against wall display is perhaps more beneficial than if we’d cantered into a, deserved, 3-0 by half time with the game petering out in the second half. (I’d certainly have taken 3-0 at half time mind but would have had our other North Eastern trip this season in mind)
That first half display was, at times, thrilling! We moved forward with pace, and with a number of players making runs, it gave the ball carrier options.
Way better than the static dirge we've been served for quite a number of seasons.
