why??
not basing it on the (supposed) quality of the teams we face, basing it on the effort they (the opposition) put in
at the momement, any team that tries hard against us succeeds - as proved by the team assembled for loose change last saturday

So you think that we have only won games this year because the teams we beat didn't put in much effort?
A flat track bully dominates inferior opponents, but can't stand up to top level opponents.
Effort doesn't come into it, the term you use is about quality.

I'll second that but mind how you go speaking logic on this forum as you may upset the fantasists Mr Beef.
Nigels Tackle wrote:Flat-track bully
a batsman high in the batting order who is very good only when the pitch is not giving the bowlers much help. 'Track' is Australian slang for the pitch. When the 'track' is said to be 'flat' it is at its easiest for the batsman, but these are the only conditions under which some players can dominate. When conditions are tough, or when it really counts – they don't.
sound familiar???

No.
As just about everybody has explained. City have often been the opposite & fuck up the easy stuff.
Burnley for example, were not actually very good. It was easy. We were shit.

In cricket it may mean something different but this is not cricket.
