Patience is a virtue and Nigel Pearson’s side have had to show plenty of it in their two games this week, against two of the divisions bottom three sides.
On Tuesday night against Neil Warnock’s Huddersfield Town, City had 66 per cent possession with nine shots but just couldn’t find that all important goal. On Saturday, against another experienced warhorse of a manager in Mick McCarthy and his Blackpool side, we had 64 per cent possession with 18 shots but crucially got the goals that our dominance warranted, and we were able to get the win.
Like the game at the John Smith's Stadium, we played some decent football and created plenty of opportunities but kept getting that final pass or shot wrong. We were strong defensively and eventually wore Blackpool down, but it did take a moment of magic from Andi Weimann to prise them open and, from then on, there only looked likely to be one winner.
