India isn’t exactly the same is it?

Pub league standard.

He hasn’t gone near a job at a serious level since.

Of course it’s not the same. Pub league standard is being kind. But it’s still football, as was working for Crawley and Portsmouth. 

I watched Coppell’s ATK team in India a few years ago. He had a few jobs for someone who walked away from football when he quit here.

This was against Birmingham wasn't it? Unless I'm thinking of another goal / my mind is playing tricks on me. From near the halfway line in front of the old Williams stand?

You’re possibly thinking of Trundle vs Birmingham 2008/09?

Clue is in who hosts it....I am sure all the Nige groupies will love it whilst damning the club and all things bitchy like hair loss, snakes etc yet nothing to do with any common sense or football. 

You will love it .

A bit of respect for Mr Pearson, and our fans, please. Thank you.

I don't think Nige would fire shots at SL even if he's entitled to.

I reckon he'll say things like, "We felt that we'd laid the foundations for success", "Year on year improvement", "Confident that we could have acheived given time", "Chairman/board saw it differently", "Fans and players believed in what we were doing", "Nothing surprises me in football these days."

Yes. Mr Pearson is a gentleman and would gain nothing from slagging off the owners. He’ll likely say it as it is though

Without VAR, nobody questions the decision to award the goal. 

I wonder how many key moments in football history would look very different with lines drawn over them. 

Got no issue with technology assistance for the referee but it’s not in place of the referee and linesmen.

I’ve not watched a great deal of football with VAR so perhaps I don’t understand it. But if it could be used for clear and obvious errors that would be great. 

The best use of VAR imo is for penalty reviews and identifying those who have tried to con the referee. The Coventry goal yesterday isn’t an example of that.

Looking quite likely we'll finish 12th. That is progress, is it not?

Ultimately a league table reflects how good you are versus other clubs. 

Other teams results against each other are out of our control though. I’d settle for lower league position if we still made progress on points total. If we get both then great. 

 Vyner and Dickie have rightly kept him out of the team. You lose so much if you don’t play Pring. Not that he’s in direct competition with Pring anyway. 

I do feel that left sided centre back is his best position. He’s just cool as a cucumber. 

We wanted performances. That was one. 
Well done all. 

Nice one Nahki

Humble pie back in the oven for now. Still need to see improvement.

And just like that all the positivity coming from the club vanishes in a puff of smoke.

This is why a good performance was so important today. 

Whenever I have the opportunity to go, I take a little flask of bovril in with me. Little superstition

How did we give LJ so much to spend?

I’m hoping to see an end to ‘Splat’ Robin anywhere on any of the kit

I was at the game. Leroy who?

Where’s Leroy come from? 

I think he got everything right 

We absolutely have to follow this up with a similar performance in our next game. Otherwise we’re likely to forget our recent form. If we continue then we can all have a bit more optimism. 

I don’t get it. We had a manager at the start of the season.

Here we go! The “just enjoy the win” crew are out because it’s a bit awkward for them. 

Trust me, nobody is enjoying the win more than me this evening. 

Well done City, and most of all, well done Liam.  

COYRs 

Well I’m enjoying the win more than you because I'm not trying to use it to score points. Try harder. 

As I, and practically everyone, have already said. Well done Liam and the team.

Will the bed wetters who called for Mannings head after a couple of poor performances/defeats now be calling for his contract to be extended??

How pathetic that some can’t just enjoy a win and positive performance 

imPRESSive

Great win. Well done Liam and the team. That’s the performance I wanted to see. 3 points a bonus.

Several MOTM contenders but I’ll go for Roberts. Flawless performance from him. 

Fantastic by Roberts and then Cornick. Lovely from Wells
