Did anyone see all the trouble caused by having only 3 foot of segregation between the home and away fans? No?

Me neither.

Pretty good story which has had a lot of the media on board. Many on here seemed engaged with it as well

Not going to have a happy ending though is it by the looks of it.

Me and my mate were near them lads. It was just banter slagging off each other. We’re old boys and it made us chuckle. Back in the day it would have got tasty no doubt

Great result.
Well done all involved!!!
...... but......
I'm a bit gutted that we are going into these next games with the squad down to what it is.....
I'd actually be quite excited if we had Sheaf/Palmer/Allen available ....let alone OHare.....
But this great win teases us that little bit more.....
Once again though, we'll done all involved today.

Really good performance by Dabo
Pass to set up Hamer's goal was exquisite
Also the cheerleader at end of game!

Great win! Hats off to every player but most of all to the management, Robins and Co. Considering the difficulties, meagre resources, pitch, Covid and the price of tomatoes those guys have been phenomenal.

The segregation at Annfield will be similar as well

He’ll create a siege mentality there soon and the players will start fighting for each other. Plus couple of teams around might get points deductions.

Never write him off. He’s a character and the game will be poorer without him.

You may be right. I like Warnock though for some reason. He’s a complete c***, knows it, doesn’t care.

Brilliant.

Yeah the Blackpool one was weird, they seemed to be following a more modern and progressive approach in recent years. Then go and appoint Mccarthy.

Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.

Listening to Warnock’s post match interview he sounds like he’s submitted to a lost battle. And I’m not just talking about todays game!

I can imagine. I know he must miss being in the game, but they must’ve sweetened the offer somehow.

All things considered, would it be prudent to replace Godden with Walker next match?
A few have you have said he links up with Vik better, and to be honest, Godden has been anonymous and/or injured for most of the season. Either he needs an op, or he can’t keep up with the demands of this league anymore.

I’d be bold and stick Walker in, hopefully MR will see it the same way.

That guy they arrested was taken ill and medics were working on him. Got taken away in an ambulance.

We were on the end by the away fans. A girl near me was it giving it to these teen fans in the away section, swearing at them, etc. Policeman told her to stop it and she moaned, "why aren't you telling them off?" and he said, "because you're an adult". Brilliant. She was being a dick.

It’s the obvious thing to do. You score, you should more often than not keep your place. It wasn’t the hardest chance but at the end of the day he did his job and put it in the net.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Walker got his finger out for the rest of the season. End of contract - shop window and all that. Might have had a wake up call last window that no one seriously came for him on loan. If no club wants you on loan where you can be essentially assessed before being a free agent, what does that bode for the summer?

I can see MR starting him with an instruction to burn energy and chase and press and run the channels hard for 65 with a view to Godden coming on.

He’s got talent but ffs he’s been a disappointment.

Im just glad Hudlin wasn’t picked. We’d have really struggled.

Just back. Great day. Stopped in the services on the way back, where a few City 'yoof' were acting like dicks, bellowing and hollering. Gustavo Hamer then appeared (with family) and got a rousing rendition of his song, and had a couple of photos taken (good man!)
City were great today. Huddersfield were dreadful, - I'd expected them to be really in our faces, but nothing.

After 25 mins I said to my lad it was a terrible game and likely to be a wasted trip. Great second half performance.

To be fair they lost Stewart, who had scored 10 in 13, and Simms. That's probably why.

Despite the increasingly depleted squad, we’re very much in the play off race. Fantastic effort from MR and the team.

We’re in for an eventful and exciting end to the season.

Considering the continuous adversity we’ve faced this season, a top sixth finish would feel even sweeter.

Bring on Hull!
