Close but no cigar. From the OS.

Morris Marks His Return With A Goal

His comeback to competitive action may have lasted less than a half, but Lee Morris was on the scoresheet as City's reserves lost 4-1 to Arsenal.

To say the scoreline flattered the Gunners is a gross understatement in a game which Leicester were in control of almost throughout. City can take a lot of positives from the encounter, not least the contribution of Chris O'Grady leading the forward line with an impressive combination of strength and skill.

Both Morris and James Wesolowski, himself nearing the end of a lengthy rehabilitation from a broken leg, put on great displays and showed no signs that they were hampered by their long-term absence. The pair played with pace, working hard in midfield and neither could be accused of shying away from tackles.

Full match report to follow
 
Heres my ratings for tonight....

Wesolowski. Brilliant. The lads enthusiasm is fantastic to watch. This is only the second time i've seen him play and i've been impressed both times. It looks as though the broken leg hasn't changed him either. He loves a tackle, always wanted the ball and ran all night long. MOM for me.

Morris. Again Good. Showed flashes of his pace and took his goal really well. Came off after 40 mins. which was sensible i guess.

Dublin. Didn't look as though he was enjoying it. Usual casual display. My wheelie bin is more mobile.

Sheehan. For me this lad is a little bit too cocky. Likes to chip the ball over the opponents foot when going in for a challenge too often instead of going through the ball. Will get caught out soon, mark my words. Not ready for the first team imo.

O'Grady. Excellent. Full of running. Always a handful. His upper body strength has improved and he used it to good effect. He won't be able to rely on this when playing against stronger, senior players though. Very direct and shot whenever he had the opportunity. Obviously looking to impress but sometimes a little too hard. Should have crossed when attacking the near post but shot from an acute angle instead. Louis Dodds was free in the box and would have scored.

Hume. Disapointing for me i'm afraid. O'Grady stood out much more. Looked as though he was a bit heavy legged. Is he fully fit? Missed a great chance clean through on the keeper.

One would assume that by him being played in a reserve match he may well be searching for match fitness.

yep i think your right :icon_wink

O'Grady was all over them like a rash if anything i would give him a go on sat coz if he puts half the effort in as he did tonight he'll be a star with us lot worked his balls off 110 % well done to him

Crewe away (his debut) was the one that comes to mind, but he did well in a couple of other matches too, can' remember which ones they were off the top of my head.

Yes - I recall that there were good reports about his pace etc in his debut against Crewe away.

Let's hope he proves lots of people wrong - including myself - I gather from the reports of tonight's game that several City players were outstanding
and the score was 1-4!
 
Would I be correct in assuming the majority of the players played with passion and the will to win? Did we play well enough to just drop them all in the first team as soon as they are fit!!?
 
well they played well and lost so sounds like the first team :icon_wink
