    New kit thread

    I love it! I'm not someone who rushes to buy a new shirt because I only tend to wear them to games but I will be buying that one asap 💙

    George Boateng is back and Rhys Carr appointed as 1st team coaches

    This rings bells with the recent interview with Dr Claire Marie Robert’s. Didn’t she mention individual stats and coaching? Perhaps she is starting to shape the approach to things more and Viveash didn’t agree or something? Maybe Rhys will do more individual coaching plans?

    Transfer Rumour Brandon Thomas-Asante

    It's this for me. If we really want to challenge for automatic promotion - and that is where I want us to be, not in the play off lottery - we don't need back-up players. We need players who might not be first choice in week 1 next season but easily could be first choice, and would be first...

    Callum O'Hare

    I think it's an age thing. Villa were the local rivals once - I vividly remember what felt like the whole of Highfield Road singing you're getting sacked in the morning to John Gregory, and how sweet that Moldovan goal at Villa Park felt. We haven't played them for years though so the feeling of...

    Football Ground Entertainment

    I don't think there is much of a pre-match culture with football in this country - in the sense of organised stuff on the pitch etc. People tend to have their own routines of pre-match drinks in a pub, or even down in the concourse. I went to Munster v Saracens a few years a go at the then...

    Are People Moving?

    We are staying in block 16. We like the view we have and the people who sit near us, although obviously some of them may move.

    Some perspective please (for the bedwetters)

    Whilst in some ways it's fair to say be professional and get on with the next game, i think the FA Cup semi outcome probably affected the players more than the fans. I don't think I was alone in being disappointed in the outcome but having a predominant emotion of pride - pride in out fightback...

    Miles off promotion.

    Colins made some good saves last night but didn't he also create some panicky moments with his distribution? The last 2-3 weeks I have found myself thinking I want us to have a really good keeper. Our keepers of late have been okay to good I'd say, or good enough for where we were. When did we...

    NEW SPONSOR

    Me neither, although I loved and bought the away shirt. I haven't gone wow I like that about a home kit for years I don't think. It's the away kits I've liked especially the two tone and baptistry window shirts. Quite liked the city of culture shirt. And I loved the navy 2021 special shirt...

    Ipswich fans planning to be in the South Stand

    I’d rather Leeds went up thinking of competition for promotion next year. Less likely that Ipswich will be battling for the automatic spots again than Leeds.v and that where I want City to be next season. That said I’ll be there just to give Ipswich a cheer if they go up.

    Sheaf

    I’ve accepted we sell our best players at their peak value since Dennis Mortimer broke my heart signing for Villa on Christmas Eve in 1975. There’s no excuses these days with all available stats etc. not to have potential replacements in mind. And make up your mind and sell early so the...

    New number one needed

    No disrespect to Moore, Wilson or Collins - they have all proved to be good keepers at various times. I just think if we are serious about progressing to the PL, we have to take a significant step up keeper-wise. If there is money coming to us from Gyokeres sale or elsewhere, a good chunk of it...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Wednesday 24th Apr

    This. I went to university in Hull and always thought the two cities had many similarities. I still have a lot of fondness for it. I’ve enjoyed going back on away trips

    Luis Binks

    Not criticizing any of the players after yesterday. It was good to see Binks yesterday and he impressed. If we want to progress we should aspire to have two good players for every position. The players will surely accept that too - this is a club aspiring to get to the PL so I will face...

    We NEED to appeal that.

    I don’t think it was a clear and obvious error that needed correction and there are issues with the people and process that implement the VAR technology that need addressing. I don’t think we should appeal though. We were the moral victors yesterday. Everyone knows it. Everyone saw what a real...

    Wembley and the London Marathon

    I really feel for anyone in this position. I don't know anyone running the marathon this year so haven't donated to anyone as I usually do. I'd be happy to and maybe if we all boosted your fund raising it might soften the blow - not much I know but it would be something maybe

    Fa cup tickets

    Isn't there always a batch of prime tickets for big games that pops up near the end of sale. I got a ticket for the last game at Highfield Rd that way. Wasn't a STH that year, they'd sold out and I went into the ticket office on the off chance. The woman serving said they had literally just had...
