BURNELY [A] the verdict ..... expected outcome but all round we were a bit flat

Save for a couple of half chances City didn't really function as an attacking force against the meanest defence in the country. Max O'Leary was victim of a Twinesque style free kick which proved the difference between the two sides over the 90 minutes but despite the Clarets intricate and pacy passing there was nothing more than routine saves for him to do. OK, Burnley were guilty of squandering some guilt edged chances but at just 0-1 down City were always in it. What would fan reaction be if Yu's snap shot in time added on gone in and gave City a point on a day when apart from Boro all the other results went City's way.Dickie was immense at the back but Twine, Mehmeti & Armstrong had games they would rather forget and Knight didn't seem to have his usual zip in front of watching Everton manager David Moyes.Our fate in terms of play off participation will more than likely be known by 10.00 PM on Tuesday April 8th - by then we'll have played Watford & WBA at home with 4 points the minimum requirement.
