    Like everyone has been saying, I agree that an early goal for us will help settle the nerves. Unlike Portsmouth, Rotherham and Sunderland all of whom we faced at St. Andrews, this one is away. Regardless of their current plight, they were top of the table in Jan and have prior Championship...

    O'Hare or Walsh

    The other thing worth mentioning that I forgot to say before is that although Walsh and O'Hare didn't start the season with us, I'm glad Robins and his team found them early enough in the season to integrate them into a system that's now running like a well-oiled machine. Even going out and...

    O'Hare or Walsh

    Obviously the greedy part of me wants both, but if I were to pick one it would have to be Walsh. O'Hare has the flair, but Walsh pulls the strings and also chips in with goals (some of which are great ones). This pair was a great pickup and hope the recruitment team continues to unearth more...

    Let’s not take this game lightly. They’re missing players, but after watching their Fleetwood midweek match highlights, I feel Ipswich were unlucky not to score. They also recently beat Burton 4-1 at home and we know how our match at Bolton early in the season ended where we were heavy...

    I felt we started well, but then stopped attacking and sat back too deep for much of the match. If only Kelly could shoot, he could have scored 2 great chances in their 6 yard box and made it more comfortable. Godden also missed one towards the end where I felt he could have done better (but got...

    League one Friday/Saturday

    Incredibly great set of results in League 1 in our favor (bar the Oxford one, but it looks like Southend did put up a fight). C'mon City let's take advantage of this tomorrow!!

    League one Friday/Saturday

    In an effort to provide relief to the players (after a long season and fixture congestion due to matches played in midweek), the second half of all League 1 matches today (29Feb2020) will NOT need to be played. So all matches will end after 45 minutes and the scores at that time will be...

    Sunderland fans already moaning about the ref for tomorrow's match (Ref for the Coventry match). Apparently, he's the guy who officiated our match vs Fleetwood at home that we won 2-1. Seems like he gives out cards easily (Dabo might need to be careful).

    I might rest Kelly and McCallum for this match as they've shown signs of either fatigue or inconsistent play of late. I think Allen or Shipley could fill in for Kelly and Giles could easily replace McCallum. So I think the following lineup on Sun would give us a great chance of victory: Marosi...

    If we don't get promoted....

    To finish the sentence "If we don't get promoted..." it would be a massive letdown, especially considering where we are in the table now. Granted, Sunderland and Wycombe have, on paper, an easier set of fixtures left to play, we have the advantage of playing most of our top 6 rivals at home...

    Match Thread Rochdale vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Feb

    With a week off for this match and then 3 huge games (Rotherham, Sunderland and Ipswich) in succession, I think this set of fixtures will define our season. Cannot take Rochdale lightly, and I'm tempted to go 2 up top with the same lineup that finished the last game except I'd bring Dabo back in...

    While Rotherham and Sunderland are at home, Ipswich is away. If we can win 1 and draw 1 of the home games and draw the away match, I think we'd have done very well. Interestingly, Fleetwood play Sunderland and Ipswich just before we play the latter 2 teams. Hopefully Fleetwood can force draws...

    New Signing - Fankaty Dabo

    Wish Walsh was a permanent signing (same for O'hare). Hopefully we can make them permanent in the off-season.

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 15th Feb

    We need to win by a big margin to boost our goal difference. With Peterboro winning every match 4-0 lately, we need to also start putting away our chances more often than not. This match should present a great opportunity to do that.

    Points targets

    Really don’t see the point of this thread. Interesting for speculation’s sake, but that’s about it. We don’t need the added pressure. Thought Bristol Rovers and Bolton would be gimmes, but they almost gave me a heart attack. So I just really and truly want to take it 1 match at a time.

    Watched the match vs Bristol Rovers via iFollow. Thought the conditions with the wind were dreadful and going behind was troubling. But what I like about this team this season is the belief and steely determination to come back time and again. I know we’ve got massive games against all our...
