Look on at the ticket sales for this they are absolutely pathetic.

People need to have a good look in the mirror if they call themselves city fans and choose to sit at home and watch it in their Firestick. They will be the same ones moaning they can’t get a ticket when we are in the premier league.

Noticed it initially said 4th kit on the website, but then that seems to have been removed.

It still says 4th kit in the description. It's also in the kit section of the online store.

Two home games in a row, we really should try and cement our position, but tricky they could be. Southampton are flying after a win in the cup.
We can afford to stumble on one of these but prefer we didn't. We have a relatively easy run in compared to our challengers.
We surely have enough for Preston and Southampton will be our last big test, which will rely on tactics and team selection being right.

Hull away?

 

[Paxman II]

Hull away?

They have faultered a lot, no longer a threat to us. A tough fixture but probably less so when we play them.

 

[Lamps]

We won yesterday and he didn't start. People need to stop acting like Ccfc are shit unless onyenka is involved.

This game is made for Onyeka. They will be very physical and will sit back waiting to hit us on the break.

Yeah because I said that.

 

[covcity4life]

not what in saying. Onyenka has been rly good. I have no doubt our chances improve now we have him

I'm just saying we can win games without him that's all. I would like him to start the game too

Looking forward to the concert before

Yes I am…. Wife’s coming with me and she loves a bit of live music.

Isn’t Grimes suspended for this game for 5 yellow cards?

No.

Sometimes around the midway point it goes up to 10 cards and then later again to 15

Hull not a big test? Or Wrexham? Considering we didn't beat either of them and both have a lot to play for.

Is Allen injured? Wasn’t on the bench yesterday

Hasn't been on the bench for ages. He is currently a spare player with yang

 

[Boicey]

A tough game given our players out. Hope we can be up for it from the off and settle quickly, don't want a poor first half job.
The mental side is massive now Middlesbrough will be on a real positive we need to keep winning, a loss ups the pressure exponentially.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Hull away?

Swansea away is no cake walk either

 

[TomRad85]

Looking forward to this, i expect a win and then we have a single digit amount of games left with the gap, at worst, what it is now.

 

[Para1140]

If the last few games are anything to go by against Preston we will be in for a frustrating afternnon. Low block, eleven behind the ball and lots of time wasting trying to get a point. We usually struggle to break them down and have no Rudi to carry the ball so thinking a nervy 1-0 win with a last minute goal. Could be a good game to try Esse at number 10 to provide that spark to break them down

 

[SleepyGinger]

Yeah but I thought with Rudi being out he’d of been on the bench Saturday over Markelo if he was fit.

 

[Balli001]

He had onyeka and eccles could drop back if needed too

 

[skybluecam]

I imagine Esse or BTA would be played in the 10 before Allen

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Far from a must win, but a win here would be fantastic.

 

[Gint11]

Yep. Although Preston have been a bogey team, they are in bad form and we are strong at home. A win here going into a tricky Soton game would be lovely.

Southampton have 3 away games in 6 days so that could really help us.

The wife's getting her hair done on Wednesday afternoon. If she's done in time and get get our daughter from nursery, I'm thinking of coming up from Pompey for it.

If there's still tickets left, reckon I'll be able to pay on the gate/ticket office?

Sure there will be .Have a safe journey up and a safe and happy one back.
Enjoy the ride

 

[mrtrench]

I believe (although it's from ai so may be wrong) that if we win this game it equals the club record of six successive league wins.
