    Being genuinely excited for a game is a fantastic feeling, especially after years of attending out of loyalty/routine. 3-1 City.

    durham moaning again

    The loan system is a resource clubs can use to improve their squads and ultimately support them in achieving their objectives. We are doing just that. Nothing illegal and certainly nothing to moan about, unless you work for a radio station that aims to create "controversy". It's a compliment...

    Forgotten garbage...

    Two awful players with even worse attitudes: Frank Nouble Chris Husey There have been a lot of players mentioned who barely even played for us, or were part of the season we don't mention, so they have already been (thankfully) forgotten.

    Ben Turner to sign

    I don't want him: he's an unfit cart horse, who is incredibly mistake prone. Just anticipating some of the negativity.

    Cole set to stay til January.

    I think the very fact they initially recruited TM and ultimately persuaded him to re-sign indicates a change of strategy from SISU. Couple that with the fact they allowed him to create a Director of Football position and appoint his own man into it. As the season has progressed the backing...

    If Cole is fit I would like to see him get a substantial run out. I think it's fair to say he has been a little anti climatic so far - this is the perfect opportunity for him to truly make his mark.

    I cant take all this!!!

    It really is a surreal feeling at the minute. Walking away from the Ricoh NOT feeling utterly depressed (let's forget Northampton...), signing players to make an impact, not just increase the numbers and no nonsense from the owners. Maybe we are all getting a little carried away but after...

    Bigi signs

    This is another good signing in my eyes - a player who has been unfairly criticised on here before. He's technically gifted, can pick a pass and genuinely cares for the club (a rarity in a loan singning), so you would expect 110% commitment. In a passing team full of movement, he should...

    So all the negative RCC comments stemmed from concern regarding his wellbeing? It was all about ensuring he avoided fatigue/injury? Apologies, I must have missed the point.

    Thomas off, Haynes on? 4-1-4-1, with Haynes LM, JM RM and RL in the middle, Fleck holding?

    You are both here I believe? I have to entertain myself somehow..... In all seriousness though, all those calling for RCC to be dropped following one less than average game, and Burge reinstated (despite numerous poor games), should watch the goals again and Burge's distribution stats, and...

    We play in L1, have not been in the same league as our "biggest rivals" (Villa) for years, and we are unlikely to be in same league as our closest locational rivals for the foreseeable. Add the above to the points I raised previously and the original post holds true. There is no need to resort...

    We spent a year playing in their stadium, much to the ridicule of many of the locals. In addition, we all knew they were bringing a big following, which always add motivation - hopefully I don't need to explain why. ST price has no relevance. Plus, we've just seen two goals in ten minutes...

    I get that it's the FA Cup and third game in a week, but considering how exciting it is at the minute, the reduced price and the extra motivation with today's opponents, it's a poor turn out.

    The Fortune against Shrewsbury was a step above. The Fortune since has struggled. Let's hope the former is on show today. My worry is the potential lack of movement, Fortune won't run behind like AA and RL is more of a creator than a runner, so ultimately we are relying on JOB and JM to...
