How do we know this before we've even kicked off?

On all evidence your finger is no doubt poised again over the speed dial for 'taxis' - you absolute twat. :) Anyway enjoy the season and best wishes to all of our fans for a great campaign ahead.

Hope the Samaritans are prepared and ready for action for the usual suspects on here speed dialling in should we go 1-0 down......

Makes me very proud to support our Club. JH - love that man. His passion, enthusiasm and charisma. JH and Derrick Robins watching from the stands with equal enthusiasm and shared dreams. Iconic times.

Different situation isn't it? David Busst was forced to retire on medical advice after one of the most serious injuries seen on a football pitch. The club did not cancel Busst's contract and in fact further supported him with a big testimonial game. In this case, Jodi Jones has a real chance...

Totally predictable. Typically classless.

I see your perspective HDW; from another perspective you can also see that it was probably even more crushing for someone like ISB who lived through the glory years of the late 60s under Jimmy Hill and 34 consecutive years in the top division......to see us back in L2 where it all started due to...

Aspiration is one thing. Making it happen after inheriting a team in complete free-fall is something very different. Surely as a City fan you will remember our successive relegations and not being able to be promoted back at the first time of asking from the various leagues - it's nowhere...

Just when I thought this forum couldn't get any more bizarre ('taxi for Robins' etc.); there now seems to be an attempt by some to somehow discredit the L2 promotion season. God knows why - it was a fantastic season as a Cov fan and marked the start of our amazing revival. I know that some are...

I agree with a lot of this Dreamer; football is an emotional game and that what makes it different. But I might be alone on this; I've just never understood the need to scream abuse at our own players from the stands for perceived mistakes. It's a very dynamic game, with decisions made in a...

If you're ever honest with yourself Grendel, your so called football expertise is very neatly summed up in 3 simple words: 'Taxi for Robins'. Nothing more to add. Seriously I hope you enjoy the season old pal - going to be very challenging in this division and we will need to show real...

I fully predict to read at various times this season: Giles can't defend Sheaf is a laughing mercenary McFadz has been found out/past it 3 centre backs doesn't work in this division - let's bin it and go 4-4-2 No fucking around at the back Marosi - launch it The team isn't big enough for this...

Good points Magwitch. I see the following as pretty much nailed on starters right now when fully fit: Marosi, Dabo, Rose, Hyam, Giles (LWB), Hamer, O'Hare. The competition for other places in this side is amazing; in fact I can't remember a City squad with so much competition. Even in the...

Just looking at the line up for last season's first game of the season vs. Southend. Marosi, McFadz, Kelly, Dabo, Rose and Shipley all started that game. For this season's first game, we know that Dabo and Rose are injured. Out of Marosi, McFadz, Kelly and Shipley; possible that only Marosi...

Best of luck Ben! One thing that no one could ever take away from you - you are the first player in football history to be written off by certain fans of your new club for the unimaginable crime of laughing in training at your old club. Almost as ridiculous as the taxi for Robins call last...

Love JJ and can't wait to see him on the pitch doing what he does. But agree with mr_monkey that Allen is a key player; his interplay with O'Hare is brilliant and he's also the type of player that Hamer will I'm sure be developing a key understanding with this season.

This is well said by ISB. Another thing I really like about Robins is that he selects on performance vs. automatically playing the players he has signed. Ogogo was a major signing at the time by Robins and his team - it didn't work out - Ogogo quickly moved to another club. It seems to me...

Probably just me. Always disappointing to see some of the usual suspects being completely disparaging about our players - and then gleeful if they see players who they've always wanted to see fail possibly leave the club. Totally classless.

Godden was brilliant in the final third of last season once he was over a niggling injury and back to full fitness. Dynamic all round game and a top class finisher. Playing up front alone is one of the hardest positions on the pitch. I don't see that he needs to be replaced and go onto the...

Don't get it. The constant need by some (but far from all) to write our own players off. I more than trust in Robins's ability to evolve the squad and until that time I'm excited to see what our players (after a fantastic promotion season) can do in the Championship when they are given the...
