    2020s remaining fixtures for us and our rivals

    Was anything worse than Blackpool away, night match, league cup, no cover, hammered down with rain the whole match, and we lost to a lower league side - again, 1-0, 1997. Purgatory.

    I’m sorry if this has been covered, but how can we watch the game tonight? Red button, or is it just iFollow?

    Ok, it was poor, but I don’t think the tactic was bad. We know we are conceding too many goals, so to try to keep it tight for 70 mins and then change up to try and win it was right. I think we should have taken Dabo off earlier and brought Giles on, which would have improved our attacking...

    Fans back in stadia by Xmas?

    You’re right about schools, in Carlisle a school has just closed because 70+ kids and 17 teachers have tested positively, so infection from community schools/universities is likely to continue. Personally, I think that a workable and deliverable vaccine is the only way out of this, including...

    14 November 1940

    This time 80 years ago, out City was being pounded by German bombers. The City recovered, and fully played it’s part in the war effort. Respect to our Mothers/Fathers/Grandparents, some of whom lost their lives, and many of whom lost their homes. Should make us proud of our City.

    Absolutely - don’t know why Robins wasn’t telling Dacosta to run the clock down. The throw was right in front of him and I was shouting at the telly to take time with the throw.

    You’ve called this right, O’Hare was poor first half, but excellent second half. The only worry is not finishing sides off when we are on top.Ostigard looking good.

    Match Thread Nottingham Forest

    Someone was questioning the purchase of Walker, I actually think he looked decent during the short time he was on. More mobile than Godden, more pace. He’s not had a chance yet for us to determine his ability to score from chances. I was gutted at the end, but have now calmed down. We played...

    Why did we hurry the throw in? We weren’t going to win, so take the point. Don’t know why Robins wasn’t telling Dacosta to take his time. A poor pass from Max, it happens, we were punished, don’t think you can blame McFadzean

    You’re right, some ridiculous posts. We will lose to good teams like Brentford/Bournemouth/Norwich/Watford. And when we beat a poor QPR side, we’re going to make the play-offs. Unbelievable. We will stay up which must be our sim this season. Get a grip, folks. And try reading ‘If’ by Kipling -...

    Just had a strange phone call

    I don’t see Bournemouth as being in decline. They were unlucky to be relegated, and although they’ve lost a couple of players, we were still playing basically a team of Premier League players. The disappoinment last night was our difficulty in keeping possession in the middle of the park. We...

    Just had a strange phone call

    Neither Dabo or Hamer are currently worth anywhere near £10m. I think they and our other players are good enough to keep us up, but they found it hard to compete with a very strong Bournemouth team last night. I think we have been talking some players up too much, and then our expectations of...
