    SKY and Sheffield United Away

    We took more to the 1998 cup replay. A painful memory of course so best forgotten.

    Video Coventry City v Bristol City highlights

    Never absolutely sure with the offside rules these days, but from the first screen shot Martin looks marginally offside whereas Weimann is clearly offside, although granted this is a millisecond after the shot was made. Weimann can't be offside in the 2nd screen as he isn't in front of Martin...

    Will Villa?

    I dread to think how many times our fans will link him with other jobs between now and the end of the season.

    Promotion with Terms

    Mentioned on another thread that I think the likely way we go will be to get a higher status of PL loans than we've had previously. We still have quite a few loans to use up. I thought the Gilmour rumour in the Summer had no credence, but if we are challenging for promotion that type of signing...

    Matty godden not a championship striker

    Not so much Eisa though. He's had a poor time of it since the days he was playing for Cheltenham against us in League 2.

    Match Thread Bristol City (H) - 6th November 3PM

    If we maintain our position to January we will be in a good position to bring in much better level of PL loans than previously, and given that we have a number of loans still to use I suspect that will be the favoured route over permanent signings. As pointed out the January window is...

    All time average attendance

    Anyone able to work out our average if we exclude the Northampton & St Andrews years?

    Crowd trouble

    I'm not convinced. I suspect the flashpoints would simply move to the bridge over the canal and down by the canal side after that. The main problem is the lack of transport to and from the ground. I remember going to Pride Park a while back where they laid on free buses to and from the station...

    Loan Watch

    As an ex manager do you think MR will be linked with the job?

    Walker

    I wonder if Godden had been fit at the start of the season if the preferred front 2 at that point might have been Godden & Waghorn. Obviously Gyokeres got his chance instead and has taken it to the degree that it is now impossible to not see him as a guaranteed starter.

    Blues...off the pitch

    Didn't know about the Forest game. I was in attendance though, and from what I remember I didnt see much trouble other than some Bedworth ex miners looking to settle some old scores. The 1981 Birmingham cup game was altogether different with fighting everywhere you turned, I was 16 at the time...

    Blues...off the pitch

    There was loads of trouble in the night game just after McSheffrey left us to join them. A long time ago I know but when we played them in the cup at HR in 1981 there was a record amount of arrests at a Cov game, around about 150.

    Hull away

    The bumped thread on the GMK days has brought to mind the invasion of Hull City wums from those days - something like Dutch Moutain Dog I think, who referenced our away support there of 399 into every post he made. At least there'll be more there this time round!

    What has happened

    Marcus Hall actually had a pretty decent 'assists' record. Dabo is fantastic at interchanging passes with our midfielders and beating his man to get in position to cross, but he does seem to lack that killer final ball. I tend to agree with FP that at times he would be better taking the ball on...

    What has happened

    We should be beating Hull, but that doesn't necessarily equate to us definitely doing so. Our confidence will be knocked by the last few games, while we have struggled a little away from home regardless of the last few results. Even in our League 1 winning year we failed to beat Bolton's youth...

    Match Thread Derby County (H)

    I don't think it confirms anything. The angle of the slide isn't perfect for starters, whereby it is impossible to judge exactly where Godden was in relation to Davies who was defending more centrally. I'm not even sure Godden is definitively in front of the defender near him facing square on...

    Positivity (for once)

    The trouble was that Gyokeres had just been giving the ref a mouthful after a previous foul by the half way line. It shouldn't affect a ref but I bet inside he wasn't minded to give much Gyokeres way after that.

    Bury dead and buried

    There are a full quota of 24 teams in Leagues 1 and 2 so I don't see how they can be shoehorned into the league. Given their failure to play for the last 3 seasons it would probably be fair to demote them for each of those seasons rather than make them start at the bottom of the pyramid, so...
