It’s going well
I’m enjoying the football
Feet firmly on the ground
One game at a time
Made a great start
Not achieved anything
Fighting for the boys
Lampard has high expectations and we believe we can achieve good things with hard work
Fans have been brilliant

That was me guessing

Clearly, you have a long and prosperous career awaiting you in football media relations, should you wish, Pete.

Not really “fans” if they couldn’t be arsed when we were shit though, were they.

Fans now sure, and that’s great - love a full arena and seeing City shirts everywhere.

But where can I claim my Super Fan badge?

Did you do Stevenage, Doncaster, the 4-0 pumping at Rotherham, how about the shambles in the rain at Swindon, and Gillingham 'master class'? Did you get chips in Crewe from across the road, ( best chips ever ), visit Crawley or the neanderthals of Port Vale?

Only then can you be considered for Super Fan status!!

I don't know enough about him to make judgement. I don't mind him being on the bench if Lampard judges him better than others available.

lampard said he’s earned his place on the bench, and if he needs him has no problem playing him, just hope we can keep him, if lampard thinks he’s decent then that’ll do

Could go one of two ways this. Parkinson gives them a rocket up the arse and they come out really up for it, or we score early and the fans get on their backs early doors.

Or both?

Agreed, I love seeing The CBS full most weeks too and the more the merrier

But the sly digs at those who stuck by the club at it's lowest ebb and did the shit trecks to places like Colchester, Forest Green etc. as 'Super Fans' reeks of jealousy and bitterness that they are sorted for the away tickets

If you genuinely stuck by the club when it was at the time one of if not the worst ran in the country, without anything to remotely cheer about for years and years then you are the embodiment of a true football supporter and you rightly deserve your flowers

If you are late to the party cause you chose to stay away then that is also okay, as who could blame you - But don't get resenting the people who have been there through it all

I don't think thats what a 'super fan' is at all. I have full respect for anyone who followed us up and down the country during the grim league 2 days. I no longer had a season ticket then but i was able to go more than i can now funnily enough, which is a tad frustrating.
I see 'super fan' as more of a dig at those who feel they have to tell everyone what a great fan they are and moan that the stadium wasn't full in league 2 days as if they'd rather is was 2/3s empty full of die hards watching shite football again.

Of course not. Are some mild plastics that also half support Liverpool or Man Utd fairly annoying? Of course they are but if they suddenly find themselves more drawn to their local team i think that's a good thing overall really.

If they’re buying tickets and merchandise and generally putting more money into the club, they’re all welcome. They will of course disappear if things go wrong again, but that’s no different to most clubs.

I get your point about the 'super fan'. it can be tedious but that aside. Working our way up and travelling away in L2+L1 was incredibly fun and to me, was more enjoyable than PL football will be, if we ever get there.

If we go up, the feeling at full time of whichever game decides it will be unbeatable for me anyway.

I see their left footed centre half Brunt is now out having an op on his thigh. With Doyle also suspended they have no recognised left side centre half

I have to take issue with you there. Everyone knows that the best chips were to be had at Rochdale.

Even more reason not to go conservative with 5 at the back. We need to set up to attack them and put several goals past them early doors.

Either that or Parkinson goes 4 at the back. Either way yes we should be bagging some goals.

It will probably be worn against Swansea away.

Their main threat is crosses to Keiffer Moore, back 3 should help us deal with that comfortably, leave us 2 vs 3 in midfield though. Really intrigued to see how we line up here.

I did happen to do most of those, but I can't claim to be elite or anything close, but I'm ok with that.

Which full back will be targeted in that respect, how will they stack up, comfortably hopefully.

I think Scarr is the question. He's not Championship level at all but Coady looks like he should pack it in and start playing bowls.

Shrewsbury is as close as Birkenhead. Chester are their main rivals.
