CITY served up a shocking display at Crawley to round off a miserable month without a win.
T&A chief sports writer SIMON PARKER was at the Broadfield Stadium and provides the match stats and his player ratings.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Yann Songo’o generally looked solid on his return to league action but the team were pretty flimsy around him.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Hard to think of one but Andy Cook should have buried that first-half header at 0-0.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
City were listless, lacklustre and lacking all over the pitch. It was a very hard watch for the 448 fans who had made the long journey south.
TACTICS
City made one enforced change as the injured Charles Vernam was replaced by Yann Songo’o. He came into the centre of midfield with Gareth Evans moving to the left side.
