A great result but at times sloppy defensive mistakes when under no pressure could have cost us, I can see what Smith is trying to do as yet we don't have the quality at the back to carry it out.
Say what you like about Alan Hutton's skillset but his passion is undeniable.

I like the fact that Dean sees the same flaws in our play. Not some bollocks like Lambert would come out with where everything is excellent. It wasn’t yet we still won. Lots of things to work on but so many positives to take from the win. Least of all the disposing of the ‘draggers. We have bigger objectives in the next 5 games and beyond.

Good read as usual Dave.
I like that last bit about Dean Smith, you could be right about him becoming one of our great managers.
Let's hope so, it's been a long time since we have had a great manager.

Great read Dave. I like the way that Dean isn't getting carried away and is looking at the bigger picture. Exciting ties ahead.

And the view from the other side:

And yet another nose more concerned with how our season will pan out than their own.

Unless they draw us in one of the cups they won't be playing us for a while after the game at the sty.

As much as I love beating them as to just shut them up the fact that a shit hole like Manchester can't even come close to what the city and area I grew up in, of a thousand trades, build, make and sell anything. The wonderful corporation of Birmingham and how fast the area grew, to have a tinpot radio station that would make an outsider think we fish for our tea and don't have hot running water saddens me. Look at the buildings, the history, the architecture, the wonderfully diverse populous and the home of heavy metal. We have so much.
