Bloody nightmare before and after

This is my first ever season with a season ticket (after all I have supported for over 60 years). I was a bit worried as at several games last year I was surrounded by gobby, negative dickheads. Millwall was particularly bad - had to move seat. Nice to report that the people around me are proper...

The new arrangement for the away fans is so much better. Also was it my imagination but have they done something to make the posh seats underneath the boxes are more occupied. That always used to look bad for TV. You can tell that shirt sales have been good.

As far as I could see, Simms seemed to pose no threat to me and was central to conceding their first goal, otherwise this is on the mark Rudoni is a lovely footballer. You have to be my age to have seen Ian Gibson in his pomp 1967-69, but Rudoni is the nearest thing we have had to Gibbo. Just...

We gave away two very soft goals, and should have won at a canter. Somebody has to take the can for that. They were bang average. A couple of their players were little better than what you can see on the parks this afternoon.

I am between halfway and S.C. There were times when we were controlling the game, all in their half and it was like watching a cricket match. There was just a quiet hum, just before their second goal in particular. Of course it was madness with the winner. It was before that that mattered.

Rudoni is a star, Simms was pants. Everybody else except central defence had good games against mediocre opposition who should have been thrashed. But robins why pick that central defence? And it was obvious from the first minute what their game was and yet we got caught twice. Poor tracking...

why do you think that? Sloppy passes from the back?

I've seen City v Oxford three times in recent years. One of the worst ever performances was in 'League Cup' at their place 6 years ago. Truly dreadful. Then we lost to them at home in the League in the same season. Bright Enockbarre (spell?) in bright green boots dominated the game for the first...

shame, I liked BNC. Fantastic close control. But £3.5m for a man who would be second to MVC is not a goer.

...and one for those who have seen both games so far. What is the best central defence combo. Thomas and ?

..well I will be driving up from near Oxford. It is a pain in the evenings, you either have to set off way to early or come at the last minute as one way or the other you catch the traffic. And nobody ever said that finding parking online was easy and intuitive for the first time visitor.

...and more than enough defensive weakness to lose to them

If he doesn't pick this side, it will be the final confirmation that I know nothing about football

Probably the best bit of news of all. We have been painfully slow

I liked Giles (what little we saw of him) but he does not fit four at the back at all. He has been messed around, so I hope he does well at Boro, where I think Carrick is a younger version of MR

I agree as well. Wilson has much less time left in his career and deserves a bit of 1st team football before he retires so I would wish him well and hope he finds a good club. I suspect the problem will be (for both) wages as they may be in L1. That was why Moore stuck it out.

I though Gary mac played in Championship, or is my memory failing?

The assumption has to be, given the cash involved, that our best eleven includes Saka, Haji and EMC. But I am buggered if I can see how. But to have one of your most expensive players, whichever one it may be, purely for injury cover or as an impact sub is not a ploy that is workable with...

Tommy Hutch.....and Gibbo
