Going to watch the 'appetiser' Blues v Derby (draw or Blues win, with a few injuries/red cards please), Pitch condition will be interesting!!

Can we have a match like this again please



But with a goal like this

I went mental when that goal went in (and that’s very unusual for me!) Preston we’re horrible that day, they were winning 1-0 and the time wasting was appalling, ball boys, the crowd, their Manager was Simon Grayson, says it all. He’s managing Kendal Town now. We really deserved that draw. The next season, we were losing by one goal again, and John Fleck hit the bar in the last minute with a 30 yard screamer. Never seen us win there.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Derby are 2-0 up on Birmingham. If we can beat Preston we could move 2 places up.

I’m not sure we have anyone that could hit it that hard

 

[fatso]

I'd settle for a win tonight.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Feel like we're going to get pumped for some reason.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Big up all, Nob ender in peace.

looking for us like a tough game tonight for us. If you sit back onus then we’ll huff and puff and struggle to break you down. If you come at us, we’ll win.
Been frustrating for us at Home since Jan this year, so will be watching through me fingers most of the game.
Good luck for the season. But not tonight

@Barnsley do you want us to start a War of the Roses thread?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Blues three nil down after twenty seven minutes

 

[SkyblueTexan]

3-0 to Derby now and just like that we’ve moved above Birmingham on goal difference.

You just beat me to it

 

[Macca]

I think that. Can’t rely on goalless draws for our points. Think Forest and Birmingham are the ones to put hope in saving us now and QPR

 

[Mcbean]

Are we still convinced we are going ahead - the wife has mentioned getting ifollow - its her account

Never won there in the league, only twice ever, once in a 1910 FA Cup tie (!) and the other more recently (a mere 20 years ago) in the League Cup

 

[cc84cov]

1-1. Jon Parkin for them, Ostigard for us. Many players to slip over, Godden to be offside 5+ times, Jay Bothroyd to moan like a bitch.

Nugent own goal

 

[Macca]

3-0 to them. Might sneak a win v Millwall

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

I have to say that I really look forward to all of our matches. Ifollow is nowhere near as good as being there but it still allows me to watch my team. In normal circumstances I would be at Deepdale tonight and would have spent £65-70 on diesel and tickets. The £10 for Ifollow then is a big saving. Now I'm in the lucky position of being able to afford the £10 without having to worry and I know others won't be that fortunate. However, if you are a City fan who can comfortably afford the fee, I don't know why you would choose not to watch. Some of the games haven't been great (Luton, Blues in particular). Even in these games I am on the edge of my seat, heart thumping, willing us to score or at least not concede. A neutral watching some of our games could quite rightly say they were lacking in quality. If you are committed, I think this gets over looked.
I think most of our games this season have been entertaining. Even the goal less games against Huddersfield and Stoke had some good football on offer. I just think that it has not been as cheap for a long time to watch our team live and it has never been so easy so why complain?

Spot on, can’t imagine not watching a City match if possible, and even the shit ones are better than anything else on the TV. It’s not like there’s much else to do at the moment, watching the footy has been one of the few things I actually look forward to at the moment.

Yep likewise will be pretty miserable as and when they go into a COVID-induced break

Really?

I would pay £10 just to listen to Clive for an hour and a half.

 

[Tommo1993]

Blues edge ever closer to their inevitable fate of L1. Catches you sooner or later.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Family from Lancashire (Addlington) so I’m on the red team.

Masochist, or do you like fantasy football?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Derby showing if you play attacking football you can win games against teams down the bottom of the table. Robins needs to be more adventurous if we are going to win games.

We were lucky not to lose to Birmingham

 

[Esoterica]

Preston's overall home form has been poor but they've beaten Middlesbrough and Bristol City without conceding in their last 2 matches:


Not a lot going on goalwise in the first half at home for them, Scored 3 conceded 3 in 10 games:


Their Home half time scores:

vs our away HT scores:


All points to another turgid draw, so I'm going for 4-2, Godden Hattrick (2 pens) and an O'Hare lob.

 

[procdoc]

2-0 Preston I’m afraid

 

[Barnsley]

they're shite nowt to worry about.

 

[fatso]

Really?

Why wouldn't I?

No real connection to either county, did used to work for a wanker from Halifax though who went on about 'baaaaarncaaaakes'

 

[AOM]

Good starting line up

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Same as Saturday swapping Giles for McCallum

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Happy with that. We’ve been lacking attacking threat without Giles. Let’s hope he takes his chance today.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I would have started Max over O'Hare too but can see why he didn't. Glad McCallum has been given a break though.
