    A CUP HALF FULL or A CUP HALF EMPTY

    Both. It depends what mood I'm in. Its a fine line when supporting this lot. A couple of league wins back to back and we'll all be thinking play offs here we come. Lose the next couple and we'll be thinking Burton will be a league game next season.

    Should Mcsheffrey be given a chance up front?

    Yes but he was still playing up front. The fact he drifted out wide making him harder to mark was just how he played. 17 goals in his last season with us before he went to Brum. I don't think that level of player is still in him to be honest, one too many injury. But like Michael Owen even when...

    McSheffrey

    He's obviously struggling with his form but he's not a midfielder and never has been. He hasn't got the speed he used to have and never could tackle. He's a striker and I think would still be a good finisher but with a fairly long list of strikers now on the books, he's gonna remain playing out...

    Should Mcsheffrey be given a chance up front?

    In his first spell with us he always did well up top and was our top scorer for 3 seasons in a row before he went to the Premier. He's always been a striker but for whatever reason no one plays him there these days and prefer to play him out of position. Games like yesterday would be the ideal...

    Positives from last night?

    I didn't go so I've still got the cash in my pocket

    Why boo a player?

    If only he could hear you all through the TV screen ;)

    Forget promotion

    This talk that this team have the ability because we did it against Brum is crap. Any team can raise their game once in a while and do the unexpected. A team is measured by what they are capabable of as an average and so far thats well short of getting out of this league.

    Why boo a player?

    It happens at every club up and down the land. Its just people grabbing on to any reason for us being shit other than us just being shit.

    Gordon Strachan anyone?

    Just for the record I dont want him either. I just didnt have a problem with him when he was in charge.

    Gordon Strachan anyone?

    But I bet you like everyone else at the time were well pleased when we signed both them up to get out the Championship. If you say you weren't you either weren't there or are telling porkys.

    Does anyone still want Shaw as the new boss?

    :D Seriously though, lets have a reality check, we are a piss poor league 1 outfit and this is a manager who has Premier League experience, has got teams promoted and is a real hard ass. Just cos the Villa didn't like him and heaven forbid he got relegated from the Premier with Brum (it would...

    Would you take midtable in the league and a JPT final ?

    I dont give a shit about any of the cups. The league is the only thing that matters.

    Why boo a player?

    Yes but the opposition should have the same shortcomings and inconsistency and so it gets levelled out. If hes got the ability to play at this level he should still look good 70% of the time. If he doesn't then maybe we should drop him, get rid or wait until we drop another level so he starts to...

    Does anyone still want Shaw as the new boss?

    I think Im going to stand on some railings at the Richo shouting McLeish in McLeish in.

    Gordon Strachan anyone?

    I don't understand all the negative shite surrounding Strachan. I had some of my best times supporting City with him in charge, 3-1 at Liverpool in the cup, 4-0 at the Villa and the Moldovan Moment in the cup, he had a personailty and his teams always put the effort in, not like this latest...

    Why boo a player?

    Thats no argument. How many times do you see teams and players in lower leagues that look great and play really well but when they go up a level they just haven't got it. If Hussey is a third division player (which he is) then he should still be able to play well and look competitive in this...

    Why boo a player?

    I don't boo or abuse any of my own team and to be honest I'm probably filled with too much apathy now to be bothered anyway. The point is though Hussey and Macca have been dreadful in every game they've been in this season. Did Baker get abuse against Birmingham? No, because he played well. Its...

    Does anyone still want Shaw as the new boss?

    Hes got teams promoted before, and if you hadn't noticed we are in league 1 not the Premier. Anyway using the Duckworth EricBlack'o'scale System, Shaw has won 2 out of 3 and has a 66% win percentage. He must therefore be our greatest manager ever ;)

    Groundhog day

    Yes it does as he got this team together. You dont see Usain Bolt doing the 100m in 12 secs do you. You've either got ability or you haven't. We should be able to play to our ability at least 70% of the time so we've either got no ability or we are trying to cram the 30% in to all the early...

    We think Norwich and Saints are similar to us

    Has no one ever seen the geordies? I have been up to Newcastle more than 20 times (not to watch City but visiting family) and they rip the shit out the players if they're playing bad. Its the same all over the Country at all levels. There is a simple answer, dont play shit every game and you...
