Typical the way things are going for us though.
No doubt he'll be instrumental in Norwich's usual Carrow road victory against us. (saw a stat - we have won once in our last 18 visits)

Still got that premier league arrogance. I hope we stuff em now

***Official Lapps match thread - City v Coventry ***

Its that wonderful time of year again. Everyone is full of hope for 2025 and weve got Coventry at home which is as close to a guaranteed 3 points as its likely to get (apart from Ipswich obviously). Such is our dominance over them that our under 12s would probably give them a good beating. To mak...

This - bloody typical that the FL have been too busy enjoying their Christmas jollies to sort this in time to benefit us. Quietly seething. That said, off to Carrow Road tomorrow, couple of beers, several JDs and then back on the forum to read the 'woe is us' comments, after the inevitable 'Norwich away' defeat. Unless Saka is fit, plus we play 2 up top, I'll be happily surprised if we pick up anything from this. What I will say is that Norwich, in their 'gentle yellow kit look like they should be a nice team (not like a dirty Sheff Utd') yet manage to have a few dirty feckers who seem to leave a foot in, Sainz, Duffy to name a few - oh, and Doyle who flattened Saka iirc. At least that Sargent is still out for them (small mercies)

What arrogance, they haven't lost their conceit of the previous manager.

Disgusting if he had spat on me in a game I would make sure they had an ambulance standing by as I would take him out knee high and wouldn’t care if it ended his career in the next meeting

I've been to Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham and Cambridge since. Off to Norwich tomorrow.

But yes Northern Rail isn't very good!

Things like this goes to show that it’s not all terrible. We are in a bit of a false position but we really need to get some players in this window to end the season on a high and build towards 25/26.

44 points would have us 5th so if we can hit some form and achieve our ‘expected’ points in 2025 onwards, we may have an outside shout of sneaking in the Top 6. Unlikely, but where we ended up in the 22/23 and 19/20 season seemed unlikely at this same point in the season.

3 points tomorrow would do the trick!

Hmmm ... What's a fair few? 3? 4? 11?

I would feel better about this game if we went into it with 3 goalkeepers to be honest.

Usually resent working a Saturday when we are playing away but honestly, I'm potless after Xmas, it's freezing cold, it's an absolute bitch of a journey and we never get a win there - I have no 'FOMO' whatsoever as it stands, safe trip to all going I think it's a bloody good turnout to sell out today

Quite glad to be finishing at 2 and watching from home, fingers crossed we can sneak a result PUSB

Interesting ….

We don’t have any natural width on the left and Tats and MVE are over playing on the right. His comments suggest he prefers Rudi in the centre.

All points to enforced changes ….

We don’t exactly have the options for many changes. I have visions of something like Thomas, Kitching and Binks as a backline with Lati stepping up to holding midfield, Sheaf benched with the rumours of a move to Leeds bring true… might turn around and head home already

True. There were plenty of games we didn’t play particularly well in 22/23 and 23/24 and we came away with maximum points.

Is Kitching playing in defence?

Sounds like we’re going to play 5 at the back which would make sense in the absence of all our wide players.

Interesting and I'd say worrying if there are a "fair few,"!.... Have we got enough to make a fair few!?

I'm worried that today could be a hiding.
If you are a player and you know your two best players are possibly on the way out, that would be playing on your and their minds.....

I’ve stopped looking forward to games again, it has become that lacklustre. Only 8 months ago I was waking up excited for matches. This is a step up from the dross we’ve played recently so we should get pasted…….a draw would be a real success.

Feeling the same as the min! Used to wish the days away waiting for the next game!

Hoping things change and we atleast start playing some football that shows urgency n excitement! The winger or full back actually taking his player on instead of running 20-30yrds then turning back to play it to Thomas or lati.

We must get something today. 29 points from 24 games so far is 1.2 points per game. Carry that on to the end of the season and we will end up on 55 points which is scarily close to the relegation zone
