The Tigers Down Under

A point against Watford finally saw the six game losing streak broken for City, and a lead against Coventry promised to make it an undefeated week. That wasn't to be as City slumped to defeat in the Midlands, and Swansea rapidly becomes a must win game this weekend.

An inexplicable loss to Blackburn where the away side failed to even register a shot in the first half underlines the notion that when a side's luck is out.. it's really out. A 300th episode for The Tigers Down Under as we look ahead to City's first two games under new manager Ruben Selles against Watford and Coventry.

A fifth loss in a row but an uptick in performance perhaps under Andy Dawson? Burstow scored his first City goal, with the latest on City's search for our next permanent manager, and Blackburn up this weekend.

An emergency mid-week podcast as Acun finally pulls the trigger on Walter's tenure as City manager. What next for the club, who should be put in charge, and does it change the mood for the games to come? We also touch on a tough game against Sheffield Wednesday that spelled the end for Walter.

Once again we huff and puff but struggle to create clear cut chances to score and fail to make an impact in the game. Luton score once from a set piece and come away with a reasonably comfortable victory. Of concern is the prolific Middlesbrough looming on the weekend, with a visit from Sheffield Wednesday to come first.

A poor second half against Oxford after City failed to put away chances, and then a meek performance against a tired WBA spelt trouble heading into the International Break, but as we sit here Walter is still in charge as City head into a clash against another club with a manager under pressure at Luton.

The Tigers Down Under look back on the second half of our full season under Nigel Adkins. When Ehab confirmed we would make a push for the play offs and look to make signings in January to support this, more was perhaps hoped for with the second half of the season than eventuated..

Results and performances have soured quickly at City, and the second half against Portsmouth became increasingly toxic, as City failed to beat the bottom side in the Championship. Is Walter on borrowed time or can he still turn things around? Two teams in Oxford and WBA with no wins in their last five could well be the final chances for him.

One positive draw and one disappointing one as City held Burnley to a 1-1 draw at the MKM before failing to overcome Derby. On another week it could have been two victories, but instead City had to settle for two points. Portsmouth loom as an almost must-win this weekend.

City returned from the International Break with a disappointing defeat to Sunderland. Disappointing, at least, due to the fact City looked markedly better against the table toppers, but were undone yet again from a short corner routine, this time Sunderland ably assisted by the referees body check. Burnley are City's mid-week opponent before newly promoted Derby on the weekend.
