Annis, still on the way back from Cardiff but it's a much easier journey with three points.

Very pleased to have got our first league win and our first clean sheet this season. Like you say, we definitely deserved it today. I can't remember Wolves having a single shot on target today and you have to give praise to our defence and midfield for that.

Fabio definitely man of the match for me, as I put on the MOTM thread. Whittingham, Jones, Ralls and Connolly were good as well. Best performance Connolly has put in this season. Sammy Ameobi played the best he has so far when he came on, his pace will be crucial this season. The only player I wasn't too sure about today was Pilkington, which surprised me as he's been good whenever I've seen this season.

I think Joe Mason's goal was ruled out for a foul on the 'keeper, otherwise agree with a lot of what you say :thumbright:

Looking forward to heading to MK Dons on Tuesday night :ayatollah: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Hmmmm?

Let's hope he starts Jones,Fabio and Ameobi v Forest away :thumbright:

EXCELLENT GAME/ RESULT TODAY/MORE THAN HAPPYN :thumbright: :thumbright:


Who would you start Fabio instead of? Obviously Malone has the virus so couldn't play today, but he doesn't deserve to be dropped after his first 3 performances. I missed the game today as I'm currently away but I've spoken to a few people (non Cardiff fans) and they said Fabio was good. But most of them said Whittingham looked a class above the rest and Kenwynne.


I'm a massive Fabio fan, so I would start him before Malone,that's my view :ayatollah:



It's a good debate and a good problem to have two performing players there.

Doubt Jones will start at forrest though looks like his ankle is bad, gutted.


It's def a good debate and position to have :thumbright: :ayatollah:

very difficult choices, but better these dificulties than not having the option.


Fabio has not even been getting games and as the game went on the more Fabio shone :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I wouldn't be against it either but like you both say I doubt it will happen.

Isn't it nice, and surprising, that any of us believe Malone deserves his place in the team, he has been excellent so far this season. :ayatollah:

I'm sorry annis but that is total billocks

Fabio is natural replacement for Malone who so far deserves his pal in the first eleven

Jones I can agree with as he is paid so well and technically the best striker we have on paper so no it was nothing to do with supposed star players you pick players ok merit not names slade is always losing a battle with fans like you

Can't do right for doing wrong

He picked IMO Almost the best team he has available barring injurys today yet we only won according to you cos we had star names out

TOTAL BULLSHIT

it was collectively a good team performance and we deserved 3 points to point he finger over almost forced changes is a complete load of billocks

Great to see City win.

If those attendance figures are going to rise from just 14,000 those £10 tickets need to be promoted heavily - mentioned in every TV interview, in adverts in the Echo, on advertising hoardings around the City and promotions in the centre of town - main railways stations, The Hayes, Queen Street, St Mary's Street etc. When the public know they can get in and watch a match for that little the place with soon be packed to the rafters.

Quick question for you Annis, who do you credit with today's result?


The quality of the players we finally played and some credit has to go to Slade As he trains them and managed them through out the game :ayatollah:

Good answer, fair enough.

MoM had to be Ralls. But that midfield looks balanced with players and battlers, just need a bit of pace up front which Sammi looks like he has and we could be a decent unit.

As good as Fabs was today, Malone should keep the jersey, especially away.


Ralls had his best game so far :ayatollah:

But it's Fabio for me to keep the shirt before Malone.

Good post.

Obviously Wolves have had us scouted and knew from the QPR game at least that our LB really pushes on when we are attacking and so it was a credible pre-game tactic to target that area of our defence. Unfortunately for them a virus knocked Malone out of the game and Fabio came in with a different task.

Fair play to the boy he took his chance well. Fabio loves it when the Ninian Stand shout encouragement for him and he responds so well to it, hence the nervous start but the eventual MOTM performance.

A further point has to be Ralls who supports his left-back so well he could Rhys Weston look fantastic ;)

I'm aware that you are but can you really drop one of our stand out players so far? Would you not drop Peltier and switch Fabio to the right?

This ^^^ is exactly what I would do but Peltier also had a good game

It was easily the best I have seen Fabio play for us today. It's hard to believe this is the same player who was playing against Wimbledon last week. I'm pretty sure his motivation is to get noticed by other clubs. He'll be gone before the transfer window closes - Mark my words. :o

Re: MY VIEW " SLADE PLAYS SOME OF HIS BETTER PLAYERS AND "

Sun Aug 23, 2015 8:46 pm

Slade speaks about continuity and therefore must keep the same winning team for the Forrest game. It's unfortunate for those out through illness and injury but they now have to await their chance and then grab it like Fabio today.
Having competition at all positions at the club can only be good. We will then see Slades man management skills
