What this kind of question fails to address is the impact of the first game on the following one. I think we have a better chance of beating Ipswich in the league if we have already beaten them in the cup, so let's concentrate on the cup game and worry about the league game next week.

We need to win away to offset the dropped points at home & away in relation to that ideal of winning all our home games and drawing all our away games. At the moment we are about 6 points behind that ideal position which effectively equates to finding another 3 away wins. If we drop more home...

Ipswich are not as good as you think they are.

One of our major problems is that we can't put games to bed once we take the lead. Despite being the better team in all bar about 2 League games this season, we never seem to get a 2 goal cushion. This means the pressure is always on us defensively and leaves us prone to a sucker punch. Until we...

Exactly the reason. Many people on this message board who love to go on Sunderland's board stirring it up and giving it large, but then not going themselves should have a lot to answer for if any City fan does get attacked up there. Ironically if the allocation had been the same as last season I...

Explains a lot. Always got the impression you had to be right of Genghis Khan to be a senior Trust representative :)

Very quiet there but a couple of comments about one of our posters (might have been Nick) being worried about Calvin Andrew being up against Drysdale. Looks like they view Andrew like we do Baka, so naturally there was some amusement from them about this. Nevertheless the original comment was...

... and in the top division

To be fair though our most embarrassing was under John Sillett, so that Worcester result judged on its own isn't really a fair barometer. I don't really get the triumphal jubilation at his failure that a few people on here seem to share. He managed us with dignity through the Northampton move...

Thing I remember about that 'Kick for Cash' is that it showed up how crap supporters are at football. Many of those screwing shots wide from 30 yards then took their seats to probably shout obscenities at the likes of Baker, McSheffrey and David Bell. The only person I remember scoring from half...

Well maybe you can get that in the 3rd round:)

Don't really get the 'shit draw' comments - it is the 2nd round of the FA Cup so I don't know what people expect. If it turns out to be Ipswich we play then that's 2 of the 4 biggest clubs playing each other, with both also being previous cup winners. At least we won't be getting knocked out by...

I've kind of lost track, but isn't McFadzean suspended? If so will be interesting to see if MR sticks with 3 at the back and gives Drysdale a league debut, or changes the team's formation.

Also remember the emergence of Steve Sedgley and David Smith (who was very good at that time)

Yes I don't think we are too far away in our assessments, but where you say Sillett said he was disruptive and unmanageable - where was that, because I have never read any such comments, and a quick google search doesn't seem to come up with any either. Secondly in respect of dismantling the...

I disagree Danny. I know he was a prickly character but Speedie was definitely a team player and the 'unmanageable' stuff is an urban legend connected to his final days with the club when he had a set to with a corporate sponsor. Our problem was that he should have been the first of a number of...

Please point me in the direction of any Tory Councillor who has opposed the Wasps purchase of the Ricoh. EVERY party sanctioned it however you might pretend otherwise. The decision was cross party and would have been made regardless of who had control of the Council. I appreciate that doesn't...

Strange then that the other 12 didn't kick up a fuss!! Given that they were/ are the opposition to the ruling party, their failure to oppose the sale to Wasps is arguably even more damning of them.

The cup winning season was an odd one as he struggled for goals in the League, where quite often we preferred to play Dave Bennett up front with Regis. The cup was a different matter though. The following season we signed Speedie and Houch was then only ever really a bit part player after that...
