Yep, he wasn’t phased by Deeney at all. When they clashed early in the game, Deeney wanted to talk, Ostigard just told him where to go. Deeney is carrying weight and looked a bit immobile, but he’s still a clever footballer, and a handful. Nearly won it for them, which would have been another...

Agree with this. Robins has stated that the crosses were excellent, and our forwards needed to gamble to get across defenders/goalkeepers for tap ins.

A very encouraging second half performance. Nothing fell for us tonight, but if we continue to play as well as we did second half, I think we’ll be ok.

Same here Timperley, I would normally see a dozen or so games, North Midlands upwards, and 2/3 ‘home’ games. This season, I’ve only missed a couple of games, iFollow a real bonus, with great analysis from Oggy (and quite unbiased), although it’s hard work waiting for us to concede a last minute...

Was pleased with the point in the end, we tired, and although we still looked dangerous on the break, I could see them scoring from a corner or cross. I understand the comments about Robins lack of use of substitutes, but i’m guessing he’d settled for the point with 20 minutes to go, and felt...

Sounds like Robins didn’t really want this to happen, and I do think it weakens our already threadbare attack. Leaving Giles out of the match day squad is an indication of Robins’ mind set, defense being the priority. I don’t think we’ll miss him, because I don’t think he would have had much...

I don’t remember it like that. My memory is that we used to chant ‘Noel, Noel, that is the name of our Manager Cantwell.’ The opposition fans would reply ‘that is the name of that bastard Cantwell’.

Well wasn’t it? And saying it in a post match interview doesn’t mean that he wasn’t hopeful of getting something from the game. Is Ostigaard’s header had gone in (second half) then we had a shout. That was a very good save.

I think that their 3rd goal in particular should have been saved. He obviously struck it well, but it was a very long way out. Their front 4 were very good. Strong, individually good on the ball, fast, dangerous all the time. However, we still gifted them two goals in the second half, and the...

Do you remember that it wasn’t long ago that we were in League 2? And there’s some honest football there, and clubs surviving on a shoe string, with supporters who cared for their club. Ok, the quality may not have been brilliant, but I enjoyed the away games I went to in that league, and a...

Jack Clarke looks decent - although Marine knackered!

Jeez! How can you do that?

3 games I remember recently where City fans have fought each other; Rotherham away, Crewe away, and Bolton away. All mad but the Bolton one, in particular, was crazy. Leaving the ground, a lad just brushed into another lad, and the kid just launched a massive punch at him. If he’d connected...

To me that looked like a pen. When you saw the replay from behind the goal, you could see him move his arm towards the ball. But nobody seemed to make a fuss. I don’t want VAR but it would have resulted in a pen, I think.

Yeh, ref was ok, let the game flow. Felt sorry for their defender getting sent off, as said earlier, think he was just knackered.

Blimey, don’t like the sound of that! Looks like we’re going to have to man up!

A happy and healthy New Year to all Sky Blues and their families, wherever you are!

Well, with respect, they must see something in him that you don’t, because four and a half years is some statement of their belief in him. And I do think he’s the only player we have who can run past a player. He’s not getting game time because McCallum’s taller, therefore better in the air, and...

I think Walker has shown enough that when fit he will score goals, but only if we create chances. I don’t think he plays the lone striker role that well, and if we can get them both fit at the same time, it will be interesting to see how he and Godden can play together. I think we’ll struggle...

I went mental when that goal went in (and that’s very unusual for me!) Preston we’re horrible that day, they were winning 1-0 and the time wasting was appalling, ball boys, the crowd, their Manager was Simon Grayson, says it all. He’s managing Kendal Town now. We really deserved that draw. The...
