Lets all get down there Saturday and get three more points closer to the promised land :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


Spot on.

I see Malky as a manager that has a few phases to pass before hecan be considered a great manager. First phase he has passed as we are top with HIS squad. The second phase wll be to bring in re-enforcements January and then get us promoted. The final phase will be to keep us in the premier. If he get to and achieves that last phase we better start looking for a new manager.

City need to start playing for 90 minutes not just 45,need to replicate the performance at Blackburn,it does seem we start most games on the backfoot,and only come alive when we fall behind,Mackay needs to remedy this soon,also we need to stop playing so deep when we are trying to defend a lead,we need Mackay to stop this nonsense of having everyone back defending a corner for reasons i have discussed earlier on this board,i made 3 requests to Mackay before the Palace game,first he got the tactics wrong in the first half but was able to rectify that in the second half,second it did seem to me he got his substitutions just about right,and as for his starting 11,well with one exception it would have been my starting 11 to.............so there is hope for the chosen one it would seem

While I agree with some of the points raised, I also feel that some of the teams who have went up in recent seasons have also looked very ordinary at times. We're in the driving seat and if we keep doing ŵhat we are doing then we'll be fine. A couple if January additions would be a big help though.
