    Would you pay more ?

    I don't disagree. Like I say, it was the right way to play against 10, but our application of it was poor for the reasons you have highlighted.

    Gun powder

    As I say, I am sure I will like it for the reasons above, that being not of the drama but of the plot and the conspirators themselves.

    Gun powder

    I am really looking forwards to it to be honest, but then am fascinated by the Gunpowder Plot and do know the tale very, very well. Did you know that some of the conspirators met at a Coventry pub just prior to the event?

    Gun powder

    Not explosive enough for you? I have recorded it. What has made me laugh is apparently there have been complaints about the violence in it, spite the fact that it was on after the watershed and the BBC put out a warning before the show. How stupid are people? You were warned. Why then watch it?

    PONTICELLI

    Yep, totally agree. I thought Shipley for Jones was an odd one. I would have brought Vincenti on. When Beavon went off I would then have brought Biamou on and then introduced Ponticelli after.

    Yeah, cheers. Don't usually have any trouble. Usually if there is any trouble with stewards it is towards our own fans.

    You watch Man City playing against 10 men. Watch Arsenal. They pass it across the middle from touchline to touchline trying to stretch the defence and then utilise the extra body. Yeah, sure, it does also go up to the likes of Aguero, but you have to try and stretch the defence, which is what...

    Steward

    Just weird we don't usually have any trouble with stewards and away fans. What set it off, you know?

    The all new sparkling positivity thread

    Agree with both you and Clint. Like I say, it's not all doom and gloom. It just needs tweaking and changing. I trust Robins to do that. He's been stubborn so far, but he's far from being an idiot and he must know if this carries on he will lose his job. We can't keep not scoring week in week...

    Thank you. No-one I think would believe this is a consensus of opinion. Every club has its idiots. Good luck for the rest of the season.

    Not going to happen Saturday that's for sure. If ever we need the current approach I would start this game is it.

    Didn't say it was easy, but that's what happens. Opposition pile everyone back and you have to try and pass it round to create an opening.

    Natural goalscorers instinct.

    Would you pay more ?

    We did keep switching the play from wing to wing trying to take advantage of gaps, so that was the right thing to do, but we then just didn't get the ball into the dangerous areas once we got closer to the box.

    Would you pay more ?

    People round me were definitely talking about getting IT forwards. They wanted the ball forwards. We played in the correct manner when they went a man down . Our application though was poor. You pass the ball around and probe and we were doing that, but just weren't getting the ball into the...

    Would you pay more ?

    Personally, I would have swapped McNulty for Pontichelli, bringing the lad on the moment they went down to 10 men. You would then be taking one player off badly out of any goalscoring form and one on full of energy and confidence. We still needed to work the ball properly though to create the...

    Would you pay more ?

    You'd be hard pressed. When they went down to 10 men lots of City fans were screaming for us to just get it forwards, but we were doing exactly the right thing, passing it around, probing and trying to find gaps. Just lumping it forwards would have done absolutely no good whatsoever as they...
