Three nil down at Leeds with 52 Minutes gone - it's not over

Tue Jul 28, 2020 7:58 am

Remember playing by far the best team in the division, away at Leeds when there were fans in the ground, 52 minutes gone and we were three-nil down, but we weren't out.

Everything seemed against us we did pull it back to 3-2 with goals from Tomlin 60, and Morrison 82, the chance of a draw was on then our Captain gets red-carded on 86 minutes, and even then we go on to equalise and draw with a goal from Glatzel in the 88th minute.

We are just two nil down, to a team finishing 12 points behind Leeds, with no crowd, and 90 minutes plus to play.

When we need to score and chuck the kitchen sink at teams we do score a lot of late goals, this tie is far from over, keep the Faith :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Harris has already said he is going to make changes to freshen things up, what do you think will change?

I just want to see some fight now.

Get in to em. If the ref is gonna give them as fouls anyway make them count.

Big lads on. Make it a horrible night for those pansies in white.

We all know in most games when we are down and time starts to run out and we start to throw the kitchen sink at teams we are capable of goals, if we can score the first goal the pressure is right on them!

I think Vaulks and Ward will start and possibly with Bacuna back in midfield and Sanderson back in at right back?

Whatever he does I'm pretty sure he is going to change things a lot and give it a good go :thumbup:

That is the advantage of playing the first leg at home, you know what you have to do in the second leg :thumbup:

It also gives clubs false sense of job done when get good result away... we've been on end of both against Bristol and stoke previously in playoffs.. :thumbup:

This could also read "That is the advantage of playing the first leg away, you know what you have to do in the second leg".

Spot on,if we get one early, it's a different game,for both teams :thumbup: if we can play bacuna in midfield instead of defence, I think we could do it,going to be a tough task,but it's only half time,remember the leeds game,and how we came back then,just to show it can be done,c'mon city :bluescarf: :old: :bluebird:

I love the positivity of this thread. Its the hope that kills you as a fan though. City winning 0 v 2 and taking things to penalties is conceivable. However, I still fully expect this to be a very flat night with City one down after ten minutes and the tie well and truly over. This side have done really well but they are not a promotion side. The last team that went up had Gunnarson, Manga and Gruic in the middle of the team. Premier league players. Compare that to Nelson, Pack and Vaulks. Good players but premier league standard? That's the difference.
