    A third of the season gone (all but)Are you happy with the season so far

    Even with the obvious step up in opposition level in terms of power, pace and quality we have not been outclassed apart from Bournemouth. For me we are doing as well as expected in our first season back at this stage but there is much more to come from us. Looking forward to seeing how the team...

    Match Thread Rotherham

    Love to see that formation but imagine MR will be too cautions, at least for an hour. Rotherham are a very awkward side but if we can minimise giving away set pieces and have an "on it" Baka chasing down their back line making himself a complete nuisance, we can prepare a second half platform to...

    Match Thread Derby Match Thread

    Had a bit of time to reflect on a really, really disappointing performance but a relieving result. Honestly thought it would be a defensive formation in the first half before cutting loose on the hour mark or so. Just couldn't understand the tactic of surrendering the midfield and inviting...

    Giles

    Have to admit the lad really impressed on this showing. Defensively I've always had my doubts but he put a shift in. His crossing went into some great areas and was getting braver at beating his man. Does this against Derby where it really matters we'll have some player on our hands.

    Marosi

    Couldn't agree more!! Normally when I can be bothered to listen to Eakin I generally think the opposite is happening. (Never heard anyone get so excited over an attacking throw-in). So while the idiot iFollow video director was showing Hamer's poor header, Clive was describing the goal being...

    Match Thread Norwich

    Just don't see a defender in him. Thought last night's performance was the best I've seen of him so far though as an outlet ball.

    Match Thread Norwich

    Should we persist with a flat back four for this one, it would be suicide to have Giles at LB. The opposition would simply overload their right flank and extract the urine for 90 minutes. Hoping to see a return of the 3-5-2 which begrudgingly would see Giles at LWB. The lad has some pace but...

    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    Sprouting bollocks eh!! Hope that's possible and not just a wind up. The missus has banged on at me for years about how knackered my current set are. Perhaps if you can give me an idea on how to sprout a new set the mardy mare might show some interest.. Another signing that may prove great by...

    City v West Ham 1981 Semi Final Video

    I remember that game well. Think it was a reasonably entertaining 0:0 draw against Southampton who had Shilton in goal for them. There was literally a midfield battle between him and Steve Williams and it came to the natural conclusion of Hunt head butting Williams and getting sent off for his...

    Next Three League Games

    While I agree Pompey will be a test I'm not sure Rotherham outclassed us. Yes we were beaten 4:0 but from what I saw sleepy defending and keeping, inexplicably poor back passes and decision making, (some of which was caused by our failure to deal with their initial high press), was our downfall...

    Southend Away

    35 minutes down the A13 for me so I'll be going! Make a pleasant change from the many hours of hell travelling up and down the M11/M25/M1/M6/A38 car parks. Oh and did I mention the frequent junction closures after 10pm along those sodding routes.

    The end being him and his mate Robinson grinning at me saying "Ha! Fleeced again DSB! Just what we needed to help our retirement fund! :happy:" I actually wouldn't mind if it was to fund a new stadium!!

    Video Bryan Richardson Interview | Arrival and Early Days

    Viewed the clip with gritted teeth (the few I've got left that is!) over his custodianship only to find I've been drawn into a behind the scenes serialisation of our demise. Not wanting to judge too quickly though so I'll wait for the finish. IF wheeling out Richardson helps to bring about...

    Robins speaks !

    With all the adversity seeking to intentionally or accidentally destroy our club coupled with a fractured fanbase, these words are a tonic of hope. It might not be of the Churchill ilk but the rallying sentiments are something every Sky Blue supporter can surely get behind. We can do nothing...

    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    Hoping for an effective and noisy protest from all who love the Sky Blues today. I really wish I could be there to add my mardy tones to the occassion but it's been pointed out I will not make it back for the wife's birthday bash this evening. Even after faithfully promising to break all speed...

    Back your football club

    Absolutely! Didn't go to Northampton on principle although knowing what I know now I may well have done. As soon as the ground is sorted I will be buying my ST to support the club.
