    Ostigard

    Jesus - the ever shifting changes of public opinion on SBT. We have a couple of decent results and Osti suddenly turns from the next young superstar into absolutely useless and we'd never have him back.

    Drinking in the stands

    Mate I see both sides of this. Twickenham for me is a terrible experience as there is no atmosphere - it's mainly corporate with the "fans" in the stand attending their only match of the season - so they can brag about it to their mates in the golf club on the Sunday. Different in League...

    Drinking in the stands

    Mainly watched by wannabe gangsters in the more expensive seats - well that admittedly was my sole experience when I watched Lennox Lewis in the 90s....and vowed never to go back. So I might be out of date.

    Crowd v Peterborough

    That's true. And beyond sheer nostalgia, HR was not always the cauldron of noise that some think.

    Tip for those taking kids to the game

    Life lessons for kids for kids attending the game: -Don't yell SHOOT along with the morons as soon as we cross the half way line or your pocket money is over for the next year -Anyone shouting out JOCKEY JOCKEY is pretending to have some football knowledge but is in reality absolutely clueless...

    Drinking in the stands

    If only this had been allowed during our L1 relegation season - would have dulled the pain as I sank into a state of complete oblivion by the end of 90 minutes.

    Ex Player Watch

    I thought he struggled first half against Millwall but was very decent second so all credit to him. What I can’t work out is if we adjusted our formation to negate Millwall constantly attacking down the right. I don’t think we did but on the other hand Millwall shifted formations which might...

    Shipley in the pecking order

    Well it's always a little depressing to be honest to see our own players written off. I'd prefer the focus to be on our brilliant start which is beyond the expectations of nearly anyone. But the good news - the usual suspects have moved onto writing off players who aren't even making the bench...

    Why is our passing so poor in the final third?

    Agreed. And if anyone wants a sense of perspective, on this day in September 2017 we lost 2-1 to Cambridge United which left us around 10th in League 2. Today we are joint 2nd in the Championship and that's been achieved without real funds and playing away from home for a significant amount of...

    Maatsen and dare I say it Sheaf - much more influential this half.

    Shows how much we've progressed Platty that Walker is now 4th choice - I can certainly see him being handy in a partnership with Gyo or Wag.

    Just a quick comment on Gyo - he joined us in January and hadn't really impressed in a short loan spell at Swansea. He showed glimpses late last season but I admittedly thought we'd overpaid. Could not have been more wrong - we have a multi million pound player on our hands. A complete...

    Good points on the formation. This is what I like about Robins and the coaching team - always evolving. Highly successful with God as the 1 in the dominant L1 promotion season. Adopted a more pragmatic and less possession based approach last year to ensure our step up and survival - not...

    What are you doing CVD! No one ever admits that they got it wrong on SBT never mind emphatically wrong! Seriously though - kudos to you for doing so.

    I see every game as a potential loss whatever our form or theirs - too many years of being a City fan!

    Player ratings v Cardiff

    It's a long season and he may well have the last laugh - but have to say it was a great moment to see Collins missing an open goal from 5 yards after turning us down (for the second time) over the summer. If the result of Collins turning us down was securing Gyo then that looks like very good...

    Player ratings v Cardiff

    I'm not worried about Kane - although admittedly yesterday's cameo was a near disaster. Recent history has shown that it's difficult for players to be match sharp in their first few appearances for the City; Gyo certainly wasn't convincing when he arrived last year, JCS was poor in his first...

    I think that's fair Pete and we're basically on the same page!

    Player ratings v Cardiff

    I'm Dabo's biggest fan and would always have him on the team sheet - for his presence and attitude alone. He makes us a better team. But 7s are a little generous for this game - he wasn't on top form last night with his distribution - which may have led to his frustration and diving in. And...

    Hyam

    Related to this Clarke-Salter is starting to really impress. Far better balance with a real LCB, allowing Hyam to perform at a high level in his preferred RCB position.
