September 2007 September was a much better month for City with most of the tough games over for the 1st half of the season. The games went like this:
PRM Chelsea (A) L 0-1 - A disappointing scoreline but we went in as underdogs and only expected a draw at best. Chelsea were not on top form but it was enough for them to ease past City without much of a scare. City MOTM -
Valeri Bojinov PRM Bolton (H) W 3-0 - A great response by the City team after not winning in 4 league games. City put on a great show infront of their fans and were never in danger of conceeding to an average Bolton side. City MOTM - Elano PRM Aston Villa (A) W 3-1 - Another good performance by City away to Villa. The team showed great courage after going 1 behind to an early Gabriel Agbonlahor goal befoe 17 year old Daniel Sturridge came on to replace Valeri Bojinov to score 2 on his senior debut for the team. Elano finished off City's comeback with a goal on the 83rd minute. City's MOTM -
Danniel Sturridge CCR3 Barnsley (H) W 2-0 - City's Carling Cup run progressed a step further when City's young team managed to overcome Barnsley 2-0. Goals from Jermaine Jenas and Emile Mpenza gave City a pass into the 4th round. All members of City's midfield were under 18 for this tie consisting of Fillipo Mancini, Thiago and Gabriel Torje who all looked very good players for their age. City's MOTM - Jermaine Jenas. PRM Sunderland (H) W 4-3 - Another confident performance by City was overshadowed by a not so convincing scoreling. Sunderland attacked City well and gave City the chance to capitalise and on-form striker Danny Sturridge banged in a 1st half hatrick before Sunderland pulled 2 back after half time. City grabbed another through skipper Richard Dunne which made Kenwyne Jones' late strike un-important. City's MOTM - Danny Sturridge. A good month was rounded off by Elano recieving the Player of the Month award and Vedran Corluka achieving Young Player of the Month, while Danny Sturridge came 3rd.
