Get in there - what a finish by Elliasson - and Max looked really good - great performance all around - well done City!

Good point Harrys. My bug bear with all this is the chopping and changing depending on team visiting and current position. I think it should be agreed before the start of the season between all clubs what the amount of away tickets will be - be that percentage or actual number - then stick to it. That way everyone knows where they stand. They do it for cup games so do it for the league as well. All this chopping and changing is just a nause.

Bloody hell. Spain haven’t lost at home for 15 years. Even better result then.

Yep as an example you only need to look at Enrique’s reactions over the course of the game to see that it means something. Spain were being seriously talked up again as well and so this is a big result for our young team. And if nothing else this result will mean we should stay top tier as well so all good. Yep been very assured. Looks quality.

Yep the contrast between these and the usual friendlies or Euro qualifiers against 4th rate teams is great. Can only improve our players.

Still a well taken goal though tbf. Going to be an interesting 30 mins now. Hope we can ride this out, will do us the world of good if we can.

Met Cotts in Broadmead M&S one lunchtime during ‘the’ season. We were both looking together at the salad section, admiring the coleslaw variants when I mustered up the courage to say ‘thank you for the great season so far’. He shook my hand and thanked me for the support and said that he hoped it continued. He was **** scary though for some reason, perfectly pleasant and polite but had an ‘aura’ about him, so much so that I never did get my coleslaw as I buggered off sharpish. All my city mates still rib me about it now! Used to see Scotty out and about with Louis, Alex Russell etc around Clifton and Whiteladies and would always make a Bee line to tell him how much I loved him and how much the Cardiff goal celebration was the best ever. He always took it very well bless him!

That’s absolutely crazy. Like you say there’s never any trouble there that I’ve seen or heard of - just a good , respectful craic in their pubs. Hope you get a ticket sorted mate.

Makes sense then. Shame, but each to their own and you never know people's reasons / story I guess.

He was very good I thought. Not sure how old he is but certainly looks like he could / should play at a higher level pretty comfortably and those stats would seem to back that up!

Really good to see. Good on you Joe!

Went down tonight. Shame about the score - thought MF were the better team until Sluff scored. Few good players on show. Farm’s Number 10 stood out I thought. Will be back for sure though, enjoyed it.

You’ve chosen to answer my point with ‘that’s football’. Fair enough, but that answer can be applied to numerous other areas as well,one of which would be if LJ got the boot for his ‘runs’ over the last few years. Oh well ‘that’s football’. The fact remains that if he sorted out these runs of poor performance then we would be in a much better position and who knows where we might be now - we certainly would’ve made the play offs last season without a doubt and then its a crap shoot to the Prem He would also have far far less people questioning his credentials for the role I’d suggest.

Indeed. But we are also no win in 5 games. Imagine where we could be if things were going just a little better at the moment? I’ve said before on previous posts that the quality I’ve seen this season from othe teams means imho the with a bit of consistency we could have a fantastic chance this year. But yet again we are on another one of LJs ‘runs’ it seems. And as a result debate around the reasons why is extremely valid on a forum.

So, with all due respect, why say it then? It’s posts like this that just inflame the situation surely? Sorry - don’t mean to pick on you per se but as I said before all I see on here - at the moment - is reasoned debate from those who continue to question LJs tenure here and I’m starting to see more and more post that are basically attacking those that dare have those discussions. Like I say - no offence meant to you - but it’s an example.
