Come on Boys :D

[Simon]

1-0 25th Minute - Marc Richards!

and Blackburn have scored at Old Trafford!

Fantastic!

[Woody]

The day is shaping up quite nicely so far then.:)

[Simon]

1-1.

Damn!

[darrenb]

Just under 10 minutes to go - lets hope we don't through it away completely!

[darrenb]

Finished 1.1 which is a pretty good result if a little frustrating given that we were winning with 10 minutes to go.

[MaxiJazz]

A very good away point I would say..

[Woody]

Not a bad result all things considered!

[Jake]

Was pleasantly surprised to see City had the lead for much of the match. Sad about the last ten minutes, but a well earned point.

[spandau_wirral]

Just got back from the game, good performance overall. Was impressed with Richards, Rayzor had a decent game also. few good and some very good saves though nearly made a howler when he missed the ball only for there striker to hit the post.

We had a chance to make it 2-0 when Coxy went one on one only to see his shot smothered by the keeper and Sykes' follow up cleared off the line. Wilko also hit the bar with a decent shot.

Decent performance against a side going for promotion. Disappointing not to hold on, but would have settled for a point before hand. Also another healthy number of City fans in attendance.

[Pablo]

Yes a decent result for City, notice we don´t seem to be conceding so many goals recently.

[Neil]

Disappointed not to win it really because we gave as good as we got for the best part and like Tim has said we probably deserved more than a solitary point from the last six considering the effort that we've put in.

With the season now coming to a close I think we all have to admire the work that the gaffer has done both on and off the field. I know there was a dodgy spell around Christmas but it's easy to see how we've improved as a club since this time last year and the future looks bright.

60 points would be a tremendous return for the season, as would be a top ten finish, ready to kick on for next season.

[DaveH]

The Travelling T-End had a poor game. Very quiet by our high standards.

[Neil]

No Drakey, that was why!

[DaveH]

I heard a nasty rumour that he went egg chasing! :eek:

[Woody]

Easter is next week.

[spandau_wirral]

Easter is next week.

Bu-Boom!

Be nice to see you attend a few games though and show a bit of support:confused:

A shame to lose two points as I felt we had done enough to hang on but the equaliser was always on the cards, should probably have made it 2-0 before that. In the first half it was hard to tell who nearer the top of the league as Halesowen rarely threatened whereas City had the better chances. In the second half they really came into it and Ray pulled off two top drawer saves but could do nothing about their goal.

Overall it wasn't a bad day but the City support was very quiet which was a first

[IJD]

Overall, a point is a fair return and most people would have settled for that at the start of the game.

Shame that we let a lead slip again and annoying for me as I had a City win as part of a lucky 15 bet I had today and the other 3 were all winners

[Neil]

Never bet on City - they'll always break your heart!

Spend your winnings on me then Dad:) :)

[t-towel]

Thought we were excellent in many ways - our defensive organisation has improved enormously over the last few months and I thought all of the players ran themselves into the ground. Not bad at all, especially considering how many defensive players we were missing - even a few weeks ago I think that would have meant we would be turned over.

Thought Marc Richards was really impressive in midfield, especially in the first half. The only gripe would be another important second half chance. We're not creating bagfuls of chances and can't afford to waste them.

At least on this form and working that hard we should get a better points return from the next three games.

I was thinking never do a lucky 15 myself

[nigel]

how about the miss of the season following Razors Paul Robinson impression ?

Marc Richards looked excellent to me, going to be good signing.
A point was a fair result I think.

[T-end Barmy]

Initially disappointed it ended a draw after we conceded the equaliser 5 mins from time. However, when considering the balance of play and the fact that Yeltz were 4th(?!) in the league, we should deem that a very good result, and a good bounce back from defeat at Chip N Ham. Very well taken goal from the new lad Marc Richards - Nicely timed run from the free kick and headed in off the inside of the post. Special credit due to Ray Johnson for some excellent stops to keep city in the game. Felt Cox should have done better with that chance and Wilko so unlucky with that long range shot that dipped and hit the cross bar.

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Felt Cox:D :D
