Has anyone been on their forum and if so, what's the general feeling? I'm sure with our recent record v them, they'll be mostly negative, just have a feeling they owe us one.

He's only third choice by Frank Lampard and a handful of others. Most wonder how that can be ?
Unless there is something we don’t know….but I guess Saddlebrains would have told us if there was something else.

Huh? Wilson has been a backup keeper for pretty much his entire career. Every City manager Wilson has ever had has ended up preferring Collins over him. What the fans think about a keeper who hasn’t played regular football in more than a year is neither here nor there I’m afraid.

Although I expect we'd restrict them to 2K.

had a chat with a couple on twitter, didn’t get why theyre all not happy with carrick, majority want him gone ? They don’t give themselves much of a chance, theyve never won at the CBS, even I said I’m more confident playing the team in 9th than I was 24th and 23rd, one thing they all said they remember the atmosphere from the play off leg against us, thought it was something else,

Would have broken the record against Chelsea if they gave Boro the full 3000. Still can't understand why we removed 200 seats from them.

Generally now though the stadium is 1206 seats off full capacity including segregation etc its minor numbers and probably close to our maximum

If the crowd is 31400 then our season average will be 27,809


The 5th highest in the club's history

We have achieved over 30,000 5 times with 1 being in the fa cup against Ipswich

Crazy that play-off was a sell-out at 28K.

We’ll be fine, if they come out like that it will suit us fine, we struggle against teams that sit in, they’re like us away from home shocking , said before in the big games this season at home ( apart from Leeds and Burnley ) we’ve gone up a gear, wright Rudoni and grimes were quality, I’d worry if they score first and sit back, we score first and I reckon it’ll be like the West Brom Sunderland games,

Still think tomorrow might be a draw. Got a feeling that Bristol will fuck up against Preston so it won't matter. Blackburn to shithouse the last remaining place by beating Sheffield United.

I'm glad at least it is an early kick off so we don't have to wait longer to find out our fate. I can barely concentrate on anything else now as it is.

They’ve gotta find a way of scrapping that segregation between Block 10 and the away fans. Why does it work everywhere else?

Really can't see Millwall getting anything at Burnley with the title still being up for grabs.
Sheffield United to also manage at least a point against Blackburn so I imagine a draw will be enough by EOD.
3-0 win though for us

I think differently. I think they will sit in, keep an eye on other scores and go for it after 60 mins.

I appreciate they have to win, but they don’t have to get it done early. They also know we struggle against sides sitting back.

Carrick isn't going to play like that, he doesn't do that even against the very best teams he plays.

If the defence/keeper situation is worse case scenario then we might need a few goals to see these off. Luckily they are also hopeless at the back so it could be a high scoring one.

He is getting criticised for not being flexible. It’s possible he surprises everyone.

Just put some robust 6mm wire mesh up. Or Clear 12mm acrylic sheets up to 3 metres high etc. Then give a number of stewards some body cams. (Ring doorbells).

Clive wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't ask.
Frank wouldnt be doing his if he spilled the beans.
