    WBA & Bristol both have tough games away at Burnley and Sheffield Utd respectively. We can buy ourselves some important space given the fixtures that we have to follow.

    ...it's also the nature of those goals - the second at Oxford and yesterday. Pretty basic.

    I was able to see this on Tele. Most things have been said but I would say 1. Whether we like it or not we have started conceding two goals a game again (against pretty lowly opposition) even though none of the back four had a poor game. They may be good, but maybe not good enough - MVE...

    Peterson looks to be the only one with the requisite close control and distribution skills in tight spaces that is a number one prerequisite. Allen certainly doesn't have them and I suspect nor does Eccles. Both will lose possession too often Even though he looked a bit ring rusty, it was...

    Rudoni will be sorely missed. Torp would have been the obvious replacement. I favour Paterson but it looks like Frank does not. So it's either Eccles or Allen I guess, neither of whom enthuse me. I'd give Haji and Paterson extended time regardless of the score. EMC and Bidwell to get their...

    Rudoni injury

    Rudoni is probably the single most important player in the squad. I posted when I first saw him that I thought he was the nearest thing I have seen to Ian Gibson (left) star of the 1966-67 promotion season. He has progressed since then (he's more consistent than Gibbo). He has the fastest...

    Saka was noticeably more confident against PNE, now he's crossing with his weaker foot. The Frank effect?

    I think I allowed for that. Only really comes into play when things are going badly. Do we expect things to go badly today?

    I don't get the obsession with the bench. They rarely take part until 70 th minute and then only because we are losing. They are a guide to the overall strength of the squad but not much else. It's all about whether we have the best eleven actually on the pitch. The rest is not incidental...

    I am ridiculously optimistic that this can be a comfortable won if we repeat the first half performance against PNE. Suspect I might regret this....

    The final table prediction...top 6 or not?

    I suspect Bristol might sneak in. So Leeds & Sheffield, followed by Burnley, Sunderland, Sky Blues and Bristol City. But I don't think we will be promoted - Burnley the most likely

    Won't every club be using the same ticket managing platform? The cross matching would be easy; wouldn't even need the address. I live near Oxford and assumed had I bought a home end ticket my address would look kosher, but it looks like I would have been caught by a cross matching exercise. I...

    Cov v Stoke

    Life is not black and white. I will be pleased for City but it will be tinged with sadness. Tinged is the key word here

    Cov v Stoke

    On Saturday week I will hold two ideas completely in conflict with one another. I want City to win and I don't want Mark Robins to lose. Ultimately the desire for City to win will prevail, but tinged with sadness. Mark Robins got me back into being an active rather than passive City supporter...

    Chris Jones and Joe Edwards

    Some of those corners from the right by Rudoni are things of beauty. They have a high arc and seem to dip at the end. Goalkeeper's nightmare.
