Ian & Dave P discuss a game in which had City's players made better decisions in the final third of the pitch they would surely have come home with all three points.
There is a change in how we play as once again on possession City were on c60% and although the home keeper had little to do there were 14 shots on target!
The goal conceded was again due to careless play on the ball but it will be a boost for his ebbing confidence that Conway got on the scoresheet with a smart finish.
5 points from his first 5 games means Manning's critics can say he's no better than Nige and it will be interesting to see if the "maxed out" playing budget will allow for new additions to the squad when the transfer window opens in 3 weeks time.
Btw, the opening music is Sidesaddle by Russ Conway - a Bristol lad, no relation to Tommy! You have to be over 60 to remember when he was a chart topper
