A good game and City played some good football at times. However there is no way we deserved anything but a defeat and Hinckley could easily have scored 6 or more!
We look dangerous going forward but something's not quite right at the back, hopefully Carl has some answers to the problems!

STgeorge is correct we didn't deserve to win, a draw maybe, but I'll take it. Hinkley missed 3 golden chances (i.e clean on goal, free shot from five yards, open goal from 15 yards and 2 other unbelievable chances were saved) We must not get carried away with our prospects, we have conceded 2 goals in every game, that suggests massive defensive and deep midfield problems. However some of the football played by city last night was fantastic and for 15 minutes in the first half it was great to hear the applause ringing around the lane after a succession of neat and forward looking moves. After last seasons misery and suffering (the Welling game was about as bad as it could ever get) its great to see the players and the fans!! actually look like they are enjoying the game.

I Thought the first half was great. the second half hinkley played a lot better. i allways remember fergie saying winning a game and not playing that good shows what a good side you are by grinding out 3 points without playing to the maximum. Mark Danks and Danny Glover looks like it will be a great partnership and the way Danksy is playing and going he will get over 20 Goals, last night though the atmosphere was a lot different around the ground compared to recent games. everybody is loving how city are playing and believe we can do well!. im sure jcp will come across and say its still early, yes its only 4 Games on but with the results and attacking play sury were allowed to be over optamistic. my mate who came who watches birmingham city said that citys first half was better than the whole Birmingham vs blackburn rovers Game, who would of thought that someone would say that about worcester city in the last 3/4 seasons. why corby released cartwright i would never know the shift and determination from him is second to none. but again he leaves m mgregoar on the bench and dont even bring him on for the last 10/5 mins is a mystery , people around me said he'll get fed up and leave i hope that dont happen as he has a lot to offer. saturdays Game will be tough. A draw or win would be a good result that will bring nicely for a sunny bank holiday game against sollihul moors. with the last two games bringing about 750 attendance, hopefully we can push onto 800 , i heard that ch is budgeting on a 660 attendance , so the last two games would of brought a lot more money in, plus did the programs do well again?

I don't think last night was the right night for McGregor to come on, however when we were up against it at Vauxhall it would have made sense to have someone who would hold the ball up a bit more. And I think Carl could easily say his substitution was right with the winning goal coming off the bench. If Meredith had been in goal in the last 2 games we would have been hammered, Tim S he has pulled off 2 amazing saves in both the last 2 games to get the defence out of the fire. As I said in an earlier post, as individuals the defence seem to play well but as a unit it just is not firing. I think we will miss Shab for a few games the way he left the Lane last night did not look good. Elvins played much better yesterday and settling in well at the heart along side Mark who tidy's up with the best of them. I think part of the problem is we now have 4 midfield players who want to go forward and the defence is looking a bit exposed, there is no one getting back to help and we are conceding far too many. I am sure The King will sort that in good time. I don't think we will see too many 0-0 draws this season but at least now it was worth the £11 to see some great attacking football The crown seemed much bugger than it was against Gainsboro last night yet was announced as being smaller.

Unfortunately Hinckley did play much better than City in the second half.
But what was going on after the third goal, many times the City got into promising positions but with only 3 and sometimes 4 men up, oh dear. The last 10 minutes or so were dire.
But Carl must know what he is doing!

That 84 goals against at the end of the season is looking more likely!

But Carl must know what he is doing! The last 10 minutes is what is called 'hanging on!' ;D The 3 corners we had was just wasting time as he knew if Hinckley got into our half they looked like scoring every time. Look at their first goal. What a beauty curled into the top corner out of nothing. You can't blame Carl for telling them to keep it in the corner and not go for goal and possibly give it away.... can you? We are now joint top of the league altho played a game more

Everyone one maybe be counted in now, but doesn't mean they declare what that figure is tee hee It did feel as if the crowd was 850 not 750 but maybe that was wishful thinking. Win Saturday and lets hope for 850 on Monday afternoon

In each game so far the opposition seems to have missed a number of open goals - but at least we now have a midfield and attack. In the last few seasons we were all defence - and how dull was that? I've seen games under RD which had no memorable moments at all. If we get a season without relegation staring us in the face AND the team entertain then I think the King deserves Sainthood.

We actually scored our first 2nd half goal. I can see why we've done so well in the 1st half of the 2 away games ... pace/slick passing etc. But, after half-time we looked like a different team.

Lucky, lucky, lucky!! We deserved no more than a draw. City are like Swiss cheese at the moment - very tasty, but full of holes!
You won't win anything conceding two goals per game and we need to do something about our defence. Hinckley looked like scoring at will at times in the second half. We only seem to have one defender - and his name is Mark Clyde. Take him away and we'll be in real trouble.
As for the Hinckley goals I can't make my mind up: was the first a real screamer giving the goalkeeper no chance? Or (from where I was stood, directly in a line behind the shot) an obvious one to turn round the post? Sandercombe seems to be rooted to his line all the time and like Jake Meredith doesn't come out for corners and free-kicks, which is why the Hinckley player got the free header.
All in all a very entertaining game, but not necessarily for the right reasons!

Similar to Danny Mac as he did the same but could be relied on to make crucial saves at the right time which to be fair in his short career so has Tim

YOu are going to get that at this level but as a shot stopper he is very good. oes not command his area at all and punches not catches but wouldn't you rather have Tim in goal than Meredith? How many will he conceded tonight Vs Corby?? Offers on a post card to......

You won't win anything conceding two goals per game At the end of the day, you get exactly what you deserve from your performance when it is compared to the other teams'. And you will win things conceding two goals per game...provided you score three or more.
