Same old City...why the **** in all my years of watching do we never go for the killer second goal. The second shot on target they had all game.
If Hobbs hadn't have slipped then the game plan would have worked. It was crap defending but just one of those things after a well played game.
I suspect Pearson may have something to say about the additional time. Still, we should have killed the game off by then.
By no means a devastating draw, but certainly disappointing.
We won that free kick, and rather than playing it to feet, we lofted to Howard who put it out for a goal kick. Long ball forward, unable to deal with it = equaliser.
This is basic stuff we need to get right if we have any ambition of achieving anything out of this season.
