    The Greatest Escape!

    I can see why people are bigging up the Bristol game, but I think Peterboro is more important for these reasons 1) The next game is always the most important 2) If we beat Peterboro and Bristol lose or draw at Forest we cannot be overtaken by them on Monday whatever the result, which gives us...

    Does Clingan deserve a new deal?

    The OP is correct. Sammy has been made a scapegoat by some fans and others have jumped on the bandwaggon. OK if you think he has under performed but to allege lack of effort or interest is unfair and insulting. If I were Sammy I wouldn't dream of staying after the shabby treatment some fans...

    Team for saturday ?

    No chance. Captain Sammy will be in the side. To leave him out of the 16 is unthinkable.

    Come on admit it

    Those of us of an older vintage have always known that we have as good a chance of survival as the other 3/5 teams down there. Seen City survive many times in worse positions. Still a few twists and turns perhaps but let's agree 1) No room for negativity from the fans 2) We must get behind...

    Cardiff City star Peter Whittingham gunning for former club Coventry City

    Been through all this. Our league was not formed as the English league. It was, and always will be, one hopes, the Football league. Over a hundred years ago. Time to let it lie

    We've Missed Defenders Scoring - Thorn

    Thorn is quite right to point out that we should have had 3-5 goals from the centre backs, as we did when Ward, Turner or Wood were regulars. The point about delivery is only partly responsible as even an unimpressive cross is usually met by someone's head... but our centre backs rarely get...

    Watching soccer AM, as embarrassing as reading the Sun. Strictly for the neanderthals.

    THE DEPENDABLES - 1967 until Now

    Michael Doyle does not belong in that list. He was average, at best. Awful in many games. To add to your list you need... David Clements, Brian Borrows, David Burrows, Bobby Parker, Roy Barry.

    Doncaster v Reading, Forest v Derby Tuesday night

    IF we lose both away games coming up I accept it will be very difficult to stay up, but it will not be over. I will be in the 1% who will not accept relegation until it is certain. With 3 points for a win it will not be over until there are 5 or fewer games left. I hope the players are not as...

    Stern John

    Can anyone name a midfielder who didn't get constant stick from many fans? Let me start: Dennis Wise. That's probably the one and only. We always overrate defenders and forwards and slag off the midfield.

    Stern John

    Just to be clear: I like Keogh. He is a solid, hard working, dependable, heart on the sleeve, salt of the earth type. Every team needs players like him. However, there are other types of players who are flair and skill. Now, ideally you want players with both skill and solid effort. When those...

    Stern John

    Stern was quality. Trouble is many of our fans prefer work rate and alleged passion over genuine ability. So they love Keogh, Doyle, Flynn, Deegan... Who all have their place, but I prefer the likes of John, Boozy, Best and Clingan. So sue me.

    Our players are scared of space...

    None of our midfielders are prepared to gamble and run with the ball into the centre, edge of the box. This needs to start happening if we are to score more goals as crossing is mediocre, as are corners, and we lack aerial threat. I want to see AT gamble in the last 20 minutes, like Blackpool...

    Stats to back up Otis

    Colonel, I agree stats make it difficult but the same could be said of most of the bottom 6. They are all in a poor run of form. Basically 3 poor teams will survive. We have every chance of being one of them.
