Behind Closed doors friendly

Manchester City 1 Doncaster Rovers 2

 

So quiet was this one, that even our reliable intrepid reporter missed this one, but thanks to Bluemoon, we have found the following snippets

 

I left with 12 minutes to go with the score 1-0 to us against a very strong looking Doncaster side which included quite a few first teamers. Eventually losing 2-1, the obvious questions to answer for you guys are how did RSC and Johnno play.

Johnno looked better again, he seems to be getting up to speed and i would guess that within the next 4-6 weeks he will be right back at match fitness.

RSC was very mobile and had a couple of good chances which brought out two excellent saves from the Doncaster keepers.

The team also included many of the younger brigade like Trippier, Ball, Tutte, Mee and after 60 minutes the bigger names were replaced, i'm sure it was another very worthwhile game for them to get under their belts.

 

The on fire David Ball was again on the score sheet for City's goal.

 

City Starting Team: Gonzalez-Giraldo(GK), Vidal, Sylvinho, Mee, Boyata, Tutte, Trippier, Johnson, Santa-Cruz, Ball, Garrido.
