    I wouldn’t agree with Robin’s that we were the better side in the second half. We weathered a twenty minute storm where they had two shots miss the post by a whisker plus the save from Burge and Hyam clearance off the line. Without being spectacular, I thought we were the best team in the first...

    Accrington

    Not sure that this is true. If Accrington were struggling I am sure that some of their fan base would be calling for the manager’s head. Look at Tisdale last season. Exeter struggling before Christmas and a groundswell of their fans wanted him gone. I would bet they would like him to stay now...

    Lee Burge

    Some people are just so blinded by prejudice against certain players that they can never acknowledge or see the good in anything they do. Good goal from Biamou yesterday?

    Lee Burge

    Great save. To react to that header and push it over shows great reactions. Doesn’t make him Gordon Banks but it was a great save and it ultimately earned us a point just as much as Biamou’s goal. That point may be the difference between promotion and not.Give credit where it is due.

    Biamou’s finish was far from easy. He had to connect right with a dropping ball, not an easy technique, and slot it into the narrow gap between the post and the keeper. Give credit where it is due. Likewise the shot that Haynes had at the end of the first half looked a half decent effort that...

    He finds his man most times. He is obviously instructed to kick to the touch line onto the head of a big man. Yesterday that was Vincenti who he found several times. His kicking can be poor and he needs to improve but that shouldn’t blind people to the good things he does.

    Accrington

    They have given their manager the chance to build and develop over a few years. No taxi ordered for Coleman. No clock going tic toc.

    The Run In

    I don’t think a play off place is certain. We are only 4 points ahead of eighth place and we have all seen City teams implode over the years. It would take a dramatic loss of form but this club has shown it is capable of that on lots of occasions. I still hope we can get to 3rd and I think we...

    Simple Thread: Points & Position

    If we are still in with a chance of 3rd place come the last day of the season we will hopefully get a good gate against Morecambe.

    If you looked at the poll that was taken, not many were calling for him to be sacked.

    A record breaking season awaits us?

    It is taking longer than I thought it would to build any momentum with attendances. Eight thousand against second in the league Luton is poor for us. A combination of things I suppose, but poor performances, lack of goals and until recently, no real momentum would all have contributed to some...

    A record breaking season awaits us?

    Not being negative, but any lower than second will be the lowest in our league history. Another record

    We have played a number of League One sides this season. We have only been out played by Blackburn when we fielded a weakened team. I think a few additions could see us okay.

    Sisu

    There is no way back for Sisu. They have demonstrated time and again that they have no regard for the club or the fans and continue to do this with legal action that is detrimental to the club. As for supporting Robins, it seems they gave him his budget and have left him to get on with it. The...

    Kyle Reid

    Reid is a traditional winger, someone who can take on and beat a defender. I don’t think either a Vincenti or Shipley have that in their game.
