Pretty sure you were laughing at people worried about our down turn a couple of months ago.

We can't do anything. I thought the crowd were right behind them yesterday, obviously until the end.

What does Frank do? Sit on his hands. Does he know you can have 5 subs and you can bring them on at anytime? Yang 89 mins, wtf was that all about?

Didn’t get carried away when we were 13 points clear. Not getting carried away when that’s now whittled down to 2 points (if Ipswich win their game in hand).

We have our best chance of automatic promotion to the Premier League since we went down. That was 25 years ago. I’m still enjoying this season.

Yea all for supporting the team, I was one of those 6k who were there in the bleak L1/2 days - and many a horrendous away game too. So I fully get the sentiment.

I also appreciate this place - and Cov fans in general - love a bit of hyperbole.

However, I think it’s entirely fair to be questioning what the hell is going on at the minute. We were found out tactically months ago - nothing has changed. Players have gone from world beaters to nervous wrecks - that’s a massive red flag.

All the previous excuses or reasons (injuries, tiredness etc) don’t really apply anymore.

And we still can’t beat second bottom with 10 men. I haven’t looked at the stats, but from memory their keeper was tested twice?

The lack of confidence, tactically adaptability and underperformances is a massive worry.

It was more worrying what they did when we were 13 points clear. Threads prepping for the Prem!

It’s all relative though. This season’s highs still outweigh the lows for me. We still have 15 games to go. Whilst it can still downhill even more, there’s every chance it can improve again.

At the start of the season, we'd all have snapped hands off for the position we're in now. I can't say I'm enjoying it, though.

A section of them make the situation worse , reduce our chances of success, by turning on the very people that took us to top in the first place !

They will deny this of course but it’s true.

Boro collapse. That's what they've done for a few seasons now and hoping for the same again.

As for us, can we get back on the horse and start winning again?

Watched the intensity of the other Sky Blues yesterday.
It was a lung busting gut wrenching win by a group of multi millionaires , impressive.
I wonder. Were our lads watching.

Did they leave it all out there v Oxford ?
For most of our group this is the one opportunity in their careers to win a notable medal / championship. If they can't find their inner Man City now they never will.

Yeah but to be fair, if it was our boys that penalty would never have happened and it would have also been a draw.

So we've gone from there not being a problem to there being a problem but it's actually us that is the problem.

I totally agree.
But the idea that any of the calamitous defending that's contributed to our poor away form since November is down to the support is crazy.

Of course.
But to be fair the Citizens have worn our wonderful colours longer than the Sky Blues.
Apparently since 1894 !
