    Most goals by of City player in first team match

    I was 10 and clearly very easily influenced as I still have a picture of Bernie Slaven on my dart board.

    Don't really know how to answer that, I mean it's there in writing, with a picture :)

    Match Thread Wycombe

    Wycombe have only conceded 2 goals in their last 5 home games. They've really tightened up. And 6 of their 10 defeats have been by a single goal. I think the best thing that can happen to us tomorrow is that they view us as a fellow promoted L1 team that they can potentially get 3 points from...

    I always remember this Speedie hattrick where he still ended up on the losing side because of Bernie Slaven's hattrick and a young Stuart Ripley tearing us a new one.

    5 years ago the Steak Bakes were in 3rd but since Chris Badlan's arrival, the scouting spreadsheets are so complex that Robin doesn't have time to cook for himself. Also Viveash brings out Robins dark side. When you see him whispering in Robins' ear around 70 minutes, most people just think...

    Steak Bakes, Dairy Milk Caramel and dogging.

    I think Allen will prosper better in the authentic 10 position, with 2 strikers close by, that O'Hare has played last 2 games. As opposed to the box with 1 striker. Not saying he'll start ripping up trees but it'll maximise the chances of getting the best out of him.

    With Clive's old English sheepdog hair, I always imagine Oggy riding him to games like Sir Didymus and Ambrosius in the movie Labyrinth.

    What I think is evident, is that he's very used to being a radio commentator not a tv commentator. He describes twice as much as a regular TV commentator would and there's very little 'dead air' (I mean silence, not what comes out of his arse). I think that is part of the reason he makes...

    I've said it before and repeating myself now but Clive is a really good commentator if you don't care which teams and what players are playing. Oggy also reads the game very well - he's a lot more tactically astute than I expected. I think they've a very good combo together.

    One other observation: Hamer played 3 or 4 really poor final balls tonight - underhit, overhit, behind his target. Pinging a very sexy half volley across the pitch is one thing but threading a weighted through ball is another and tonight he looked every bit a defensive midfielder. Great little...

    Gonna be an unpopular opinion but I still don't get a good feeling from him. He doesn't look like he feels he belongs there. His movements are jerky, everything he does seems a little rushed. There's something Burge-esque about him for me, constantly feel like there's an accident around the corner.

    My uncle died from pushing a wheelbarrow full of paving slabs. Wheel barrow tipped to one side, he pulled a muscle in his thigh. Gave up on the job, had a couple of cans, went to bed and woke up with his leg twice it's usual size. He was an alcoholic and his blood didn't clot. Died a day later...

    It was a terrible game but giving all our players minus scores is way OTT.

    6 points from the next 9 and things will be looking good at Christmas.

    1 goal conceded from open play in 6 Championship games though. If you'd told me that after 10 games I'd have laughed at you.

    I think you'll feel differently in the morning. I'd have taken a point before the game (although still gone for 3) knowing it's Wycombe on Saturday. Tired looking performance overall though and some of Robins limitations exposed. No idea what Sheaf must think having started every week and then...

    Honestly, I love Robins, I promise I do but he doesn't half let games drift and keep banging his head against a brick wall. Make a decision on 60 minutes to either change things to try and win it OR take the point and bring on the subs to do it so your key players get a rest.
