Think we're over thinking this. Watford game I though atmosphere was excellent. Last night it was flat. It happens. There were a couple of games at the beginning of last season that were similar.

22K, probably about 18K in the ground.

Not really. It started ok. It was a Monday night, felt flat before the game, loads of season ticket holders missing around me in block 16 which didn't help, plus no away fans to bounce off. Just one of them, but mainly driven by what was happening on the pitch.

Running the risk of sounding alarmist, but we're in a spot of bother here. The spine of the team.consists of Fadz, Eccles, Kelly, Allen and Godden. Fond of all of them, but that's basically our League One side from a few years ago. The squad we have at our disposal doesn't get any better for...

Looking like it'll be a pretty sparse crowd. Surprised how many season ticket holders I know who are sitting this one out. Imagine the official crowd with be ok, over 20K, but doubt there will be more than 16K in there. Should be in the pub now looking forward to this one. Fucking sky.

You said 'I don't see him and Simms as big money signings'. I'm simply saying that I think they are very big money signings for this league. That's an undeniable fact, how are you even arguing that point with a straight face is baffling. The money we have spent on those 2 players alone is...

Said nobody. It's about getting value. MVE looks like good value but it's always easier after the event and you can't expect every signing to succeed, so nobody is being a smart arse. I was as excited by the Wright signing as anyone. But to suggest £4m for a wing back is not a lot of money at...

How can they not be big money signings? £4 million at this level is a huge amount of money. We've spent a fortune, it is pretty unprecented for a team that doesn't have parachute payments to spend what we have. Most independent pundits seem to be saying Blues had the best window, you can...

There really aren't that many people that think that though. There will.always be weird takes, and they are more likely to appear on a feed as they generate the most reaction. It really is a tiny number of people posting on twitter regularly anyway.

Take that and move on. Really didn't fancy us today so pleased with the point. I haven't got particularly high expectations this season, it would be a minor miracle if this team finished top 6, so no hand-wringing if we drop points at home. Plenty to work on but some positives too.

I'm not confident at all either, so much so I'd take a draw now and I never say that at home. Btw, I'm pretty confident for the season overall but feel we get turned over today.

I know stats can often be meaningless, but I note Watford have the 2nd highest xG in the league, and the lowest xG against. Statistically at least, they're due to give somebody a mauling.

If you want an example of why people question the commercial side of the club sometimes, look no further than this. It is the morning of a game and there are now only singles available. Somebody has forgotten to open the last block for sale.

Not sure we're allocating more than 3K at the moment.

They have sold out haven't they? They have designated it some sort of junior fans away day and have sold a load. Not sure what their allocation was though.

His CV won't look too shabby after this latest role. Was appointed when the club was in the 4th division and he bows out shortly after the club was a penalty shootout away from the PL. I am aware that people completely refuse to give him any credit for this rise. But seriously, you'd have to...

Fair enough It's just that innate pessimism I have as a City fan that says a team with that much ability doesn't go four games without scoring and it will obviously all come together against us. Completely irrational of course.

It's all gone a bit weird. Gus came to the game as it was an opportunity for him to say goodbye to a few people he hadn't had chance to see before he left. A few kids from the family stand had their picture taken. So what. That's it. Nothing cringe about it and I doubt we'll see him again this...

Oh behave, you know what I was saying.
