    Wasps downward spiral...

    I don’t know of any City fan that wishes Wasps well. I want them to fail and clear off back to their own fans in the south east. I want us (and that certainly isn’t necessarily Sisu) to own for the first time the stadium that was built for us.I think most City fans would feel the same. They are...

    How are they beginning the points process? Do supporters already have points from last season? ( Hope so as I will be away for first game of the season which seems likely to be away).

    Transfer Shouts

    Did Emerson join once the season started after a LC game against Rotherham? Pickering signed for Don McKay the season before (just looked it up), but Dave Philips signed that summer too.

    Transfer Shouts

    A bit of rewriting history going on here. Kelly was hugely influential in our staying up in that first season back in the Championship. If you couldn’t see that with the performances he put out, then look at the stats. The points per game won when Kelly played that season were far greater than...

    Transfer Shouts

    I think the close season before our Cup win, Sillett brought in Houchen from Scunthorpe, Painter from Stoke and perhaps Culpin from Nuneaton. Not a stellar ‘window’ (there were no ‘windows’ at that stage), and had there been social media back then, no doubt some would have been calling for...

    Charity fan game at Highfield road

    That was a pre season game organised by Bobby Gould when he was the manager, against the City Supporters Club Sunday league team (who I played for that night). We (as in Supporters Club) lost 4-1. It was a great thrill to play on the Highfield Road pitch against a few first team players, Gerry...

    Soupy Sam and the Toffee Lady

    I think the idea was to give those working a morning shift on a Saturday the chance to get to the game

    The Jones Enigma

    I think Jones has more natural talent than either of those two.

    I think that you underestimate how good he was.

    Kelly Staying?

    No he didn’t. Kelly was instrumental in our staying up last season personified by his performance in the crucial game at Rotherham. No coincidence that in the games he played we picked up far more points than in the games he missed. This season he really hasn’t been able to put any great run of...

    The Jones Enigma

    I think he’s got better the more minutes he has played. Not surprisingly, he seemed a bit wary of contact in his first few appearances. I think his half hour plus at Southampton saw him running at players again, something that he did yesterday too. The other players obviously have confidence in...

    The Penalty

    Didn’t their guy’s injury occur in added time? If so then the extra two minutes would have come from that. Overall he probably still played only 3 minutes.

    The Jones Enigma

    The point that I made still stands though, at the very period of the season where it is likely he would have played, he was injured again. You’re right that there have been times when he could have been used but wasn’t. I would also far sooner see Jones coming on than Shipley. The fact is...

    The Penalty

    I thought the fact that he only allowed 3 minutes of added time was poor. There were six subs which should have been 3 minutes for that alone. ( I know two of ours came on together). We had the palava with the penalty plus the usual time wasting goal celebration. And then we had their goalkeeper...

    The Jones Enigma

    The period when he was most likely to be used, where we were really down to 11 or 12 first team players available, he was injured. I think he has only been available for the last four or five games and could still have been feeling the effects of the latest injury. I think Jones has shown enough...
