Should be 3 points but these can be the games we struggle to break down O’Hare for me should start Wimbledon will sit back we need flair to unlock

Wimbledon on 1 point.
No points away from home. Really is a game we should win.
They've not been getting battered though so I think we'll need to be patient and a win even by a single goal will suffice.

Expecting a defeat for this one.

Just because it's Cov innit.

Hard not to have this mindset as long suffering supporters!! (but hopeful we'll get through it and then get the medical team working full time on the injuries and niggles before a tough game with Donny!)

Cant really see anything but a win for City, but as already said its the City aint it, anythings possible.
3-1 City.

Mason for McCallum and the rest the same as Saturday start
10 day rest to follow and then hopefully Allen and Kelly will be fit.

They came close to a result in their grudge match with MK Dons - went ahead before losing 2-1.
I just think of the team that played this lot away last season at about the same time - included O'Brien, Brown, Ogogo, Doyle and Andreu plus Baka and Tom Davies. We will be a tad stronger on Tuesday.
Like others I think they will park the bus. As long as we win, don't care if it's 1-0
Donny in 2 weeks time is the test

Ermmm probably as they get paid to do it,sitting in traffic to brum with work & kids at home some people will just use ifollow

Not saying you *should* make the trip but if its the traffic that’s putting you off, if it helps I’ve been across twice; for Exeter in the cup game and also to watch blues with a work colleague end of last season, and traffic wasn’t an issue at all. I was thinking it would be a pain in the arse for me, but was no worse than getting to the Ricoh for me (from Leamington)

Probably why Ifollow isn’t a good thing. (hypocritical of me as I have watched a few away games that I haven’t been able to get to). I can’t see how having the opportunity to watch at home (or in the pub as one poster said) is going to do anything but make the attendance less than it would have been if no Ifollow was available. No problem for people who live abroad, it is a great service for them. I can also see why City fans who live in other parts of this country would want to watch if it is impossible to get to games. For those who choose to watch on TV when they could get to the game, I think is the start of a dangerous situation for clubs like ours that depend on the gate money. Bob Lord would be turning in his grave (one for the oldies).

Agree to some extent, although I’ve already paid for a season ticket, can’t get to the game on Tuesday due to having to look after my kids and so will pay again to watch on ifollow of which 70% goes to the club.

Sure I’m not the only season ticket holder that this will apply to. Also I rarely get to away games these days for various reasons (mobility not being great puts me off grounds I’m not familiar with), but will often pay to watch on ifollow - so again money the club wouldn’t usually get.

No idea if they make more from it than they lose from people choosing to watch on tv rather than go to the game, but I suspect it’s not clear cut. Of course over time if more people decide just to watch on ifollow that may change, but for me personally I’d always go to the game if I could. Ifollow just not the same as being there.

Yeah course. Just letting you know from the two experiences I’ve had so far, traffic isn’t as much of a worry as I previously thought

Midweek games being in Birmingham rather than Cov, and the availability of IFollow to users without having to pretend to be be abroad, will inevitably affect the attendance more than for a Saturday game, particularly if the opposition are not a great draw. Given the start we have had I reckon that if this game had been at the Ricoh the crowd would have been around 12,000, whereas I'm expecting a crowd at St Andrews of 4,500 at best. The team deserve better, but we are where we are.

Don’t get this one. We aren’t playing in Watford, it’s just up the a45 for those that live in cov. The people I meet up with finish work at 5.30 working in the city centre, and we meet at 7. Plenty of time for Most, surely ?
