    I'm not keen on Jimmy Hill's long nose in that version.

    I want to see us beat Stoke (obviously) and keep a clean sheet. Our defensive record has been much improved of late. In our four games in February we have kept two clean sheets and conceded only two goals, one each against Middlesbrough and Sheffield United. We conceded in every single one of...

    Lati

    I think that Lati is a very solid player. His flexibility has also been useful to us, although it isn't that important now we have greater squad depth.

    It’s a shame it’s ended this way…

    It wasn’t just the Oxford result though, was it? We were very poor - especially away from home - from the end of November until mid-February and we lost our huge points lead. Whilst calling for Lampard’s head was in my opinion a huge overreaction, a lot of fans were rightly concerned at our...

    It’s a shame it’s ended this way…

    Hasn't it just? In just a few years we have gone from the dark days of being in administration, League 2, not playing in Coventry and fearing for our very existence to where we are now: owing our own ground, 30,000 plus attendances, playing attractive football under a good manager, having a...

    It’s a shame it’s ended this way…

    That's exactly how I have been for most of the season. I turned 71 a week ago and I have this feeling of dread that, if we don't go up this time, I may never again see us in the Premier League. The last three games have cheered me up though 😊 We're back to looking like we're going up.

    I've just had a lovely few minutes looking at our goals again. There was absolutely nothing on for Haji when he received the ball for our first but he managed to create a goal out of nothing. Great cross by EMC for the second and what a beautifully placed header by Rudoni. 😊

    Wow! Well done lads. That was a very professional performance against a good team away from home. It had a bit of everything: a couple of well-taken goals, some nice midfield play and stout - at times "bodies on the line" - defending. We really looked like a team that not only plays some nice...

    If they equalise it will feel like a defeat, even though many of us - me included - would have taken a draw before kick off.

    6 minutes added time but I bet he plays 8.

    I’m not sure that my nerves can stand 25 minutes of added time!

    I think he’ll live. Just needs Dr Lampard to get his tactical instructions out 😄

    It’s a very good game for the neutral observer. The problem is that I’m not neutral and I’m hating every second. I just want the final whistle to go!

    This is just the sort of situation, in front away from home and needing to manage the game, where hopefully Onyeka will prove his worth.
