FROM THE PRESS BOX
“Anyone who doubted Marin Petrov’s class had their eyes opened within half-an-hour of his debut. The masterly Bulgarian may have only been faced with a League 2 defence but his sureness of touch and speed of thought will bamboozle mutch better rearguards… Sven’s men returned to winning ways courtesy of Corradi’s late header, his 4th goal in a productive pre-season, and a fine strike from Dickov. They were by no means dazzling but City Played enough controlled football to be pleased with their first half work.”
