Also, has Willis agreed terms yet? If the deal were to fall through, then people would say 'why didn't we appeal the sending off.'

I hate to say this, but for the first time today, I think we have gone too far. In fact, I've started to think of the positives of League 2. Here's one, I have been to 58 grounds watching City over the past 50 years (59 grounds if I include Chelsea v Everton in the 80's), and I reckon I'll have...

He won't do that. I don't think he will try to talk his way out of it

Does anyone remember a last game of the season against Leeds, I think we had to draw to stay up, which we did. At the end of the game City fans came on the pitch to celebrate, and those friendly Leeds fans came on the pitch to fight. Scraps all over the pitch. They're as bad as any, and worst...

Great photo's - great memories!

Yes, I would agree Otis, I have nothing but bad memories if encounters with Leeds fans.

I understand your viewpoint, I think everyone understands that the authorities are undermining this competition, as they do every other competition that doesn't have 'Premier League' front of it. However, I think you can see that long suffering Cov fans have no intention of missing this one...

Yep, and brilliant, but he was small, fit and mobile. Spot the difference!

He's certainly got your number, Otis. Be afraid, very afraid!!

But we did win the replay 5-0. A Steve Livingstone hatrick. I was at the Roker Park game, and I seem to remember that Speedie was winding up Bennett the whole match, until GB snapped. Bennett had Speedie by the throat and was pushing him over the wall into the crowd, while S was swinging at B...

I live in the North East of England, and travelled down to White Hart Lane to see the last game of the season (1997), one we had to win to have any chance of staying up. We won 2-1, winning goal from Dublin, heroic performance from Oggy! You must have been playing down south, because on the way...

Another great post Bob, what a colossus in our football club. Involved in all my treasured memories of City.

Well, I guess we all hope that Slade will help to pull us out of the mire. As for Mowbray, although I think he got things badly wrong, I do think that he was genuine in his attempts to make things happen for us, after all, nobody tries to do a bad job (although that West Ham player - Poyet...

You can't ignore the shocking performance in the second half of the season. We produced relegation form, at one stage we were 11 points clear of 7th place, and ended up 5 points off 6th place. It wasn't just poor performance at the start of this season, it was nearly a year of poor performance...

Yes!

Back on thread, we all know that the recruitment in the summer went badly wrong, and we've been left with a young squad that's been bullied in many games this season. I was also worried by Mowbray's demeanour during matches. At the Fleetwood away game this season, we were struggling in the...

Thanks for this Oucho, it's a damned depressing read but a good analysis. We need promotion type performance over the next 15 games, and although my supporter's heart says we can do it, my head says we've dropped too far. Two weeks ago we needed one win to move out of the relegation places, now...

The budget may not increase, but we might win a game and show that our club has potential.

The last two games were very poor in terms of footballing performance, but we lost each game 1-0, to a cracking long range shot, and a late goal. We have to give RS time, and if we win enough games ugly to keep us in the league, then I would take that for this season.

I agree, this would be a much more positive approach, and think of the impact on the team if we could get somewhere near a full house cheering the team on
