We certainly are. More organised, more disciplined, Hard working and there;s method in our play. Players have improved as well. Things are looking up

[BlueArmy 86]

I think it was a really good point away against an in form Stoke team. If anyone was gonna win it was us.

Colwill has to start the next game, time to unleash him.

[light up the darkness]

I think these sort of stats back up what we know that this is a capable side

If we are supposed to be looking for a striker then we should also look at midfield and defence

I personally don't think we need any major additions at all

Bulut said. Striker. Midfield. Defender.

He said 3 or 4 new players. He’ll probably be happy with 3 in the right positions

Don’t think it’s from sky though lol

They're actually 4 really tough games.

Keep The Faith. I'm sure we will be in or around 7th position after the four games

Elsewhere, Ojo scored for Kortrijk and an assist for King for Morecambe.

From where we were stood it looked like Wintle had nicked it at the death, would have been deserved in my opinion. I thought we won on points, if you get my drift, we looked the more capable side. A deadly striker would be a Godsend. Bowler was a right handful today and one rocket shot in the second half may have been on its way in if it hadn’t hit Ng (I think it was Ng). Having a decent bench doesn’t half make a difference, if Stoke thought they’d done their bit by seeing off a few first choices, they had to think again. Colwill and Tanner do seem to have an understanding and the former’s trickery and footwork is a defender’s nightmare.

A decent away point against an in form team I reckon. Three clean sheets on the trot is not to be sniffed at either. Bulut has done a right number on the whole set up in my opinion, he’s sorted us out in no uncertain terms. Players are believing in themselves and mucking in big time. Long may it continue.

It's fantastic

Interesting listen to the Stoke commentators, once they’d stop talking about the yellow about 15 times, they were very impressed with Colwill.

[Michael Morris]

Stoke message board in general thought we were good and they were happy to Come away with a point.

I thought we were comfortable and I was less stressed at an away game than I usually am. And they had delicious ice cold San Miguel at £5.40 a pint.

If Wintle had nicked it at the end it would have been a fair win and it would have gone fking ballistic.

I thought it was in.

Maybe we should try Wintle as a 10

They were terrible for the last 20 mins that I watched.

Myopically biased and the co-commentator could have sounded less interested.

Appalling.

Stoke fans impressed with Colwill on twitter, best player in the park apparently

They thought Tanner was Colwill a few times mind

Just had a look at Oatcake, they thought that clogger Ben Pearson was their man of the match. He’s been a good player at this level for a long time (found out a bit in the Premier League with Bournemouth maybe), but his disciplinary record is appalling - how he got away with an attempted assault on Colwill was beyond me.

Think I’ll leave you to the San Miguel’s, not a fan of it at all, you’d have to pay me £5.40 to drink one.

Yes I noticed that mix up. The yellow I mentioned was the ball, the commentator seemed obsessed by it.

They weren’t the most biased I’ve heard for one of our away games.
Ian Cranson was the co-commentator, some interesting insights but very monotonous

Is Ojo still a City player?

[Rjk]

Is Ojo still a City player?

technically yes, but he's out of contract at the end of the season and on a season long loan

Highlights:

[North Cardiff Blue]

We played really well, a very professional away game, against a very good team on a solid run of form with three wins in the previous three games against Boro, Leeds and Sunderland, another clean sheet and kept them to one shot on target all game!

Everyone played well and worked so hard, Colwill, Tanner and Etete did really well coming on as did Wintle.

If Colwill keeps working as hard as that, he will get his chance, well done to the whole club, we are back on the up!
