Ah well. Max is a top keeper, lets not shout at him cos he comes out for the odd cross.

With Appleton in charge there, Curtis wont be long about being a caretaker again.

BUMP!!! Now there’s a shock hey!!

That will be horrific up there tonight in this wind!

Tbf, watching our not so similar man city tippy tappy shite isnt going to bring out an atmosphere!

No plan B. Why not go for it with Wells and Conway up top? We have a squad that can play 3.4.1.2 

Maybe yes. Better idea than putting Cornick on thats for sure!

We all thought that on 60mins when the changes were made. We were expecting Cornick to make an appearance but it obviously didn’t happen.

The raffle tombola wasnt open today for him to get on. 

In all honesty, away fans have the worst stand of the 4. We have several games where less than 1,000 away fans attend yet we still let them take the entire width of the stand. 
When away allocations are of this number, stick them on the Dolman or Lansdown side of the Atyeo so they cannot be behind the goal itself. 
You think of the several away games we go to where we are stuffed into a corner, i dont understand why we dont do that to the several teams that bring small numbers. 
But BCFC have always been too nice, with no real winning mentality at the club ( Nige changed this a little ), so we wont do this at all and we’ll continue to welcome away teams with open arms.

Rather Forest too, considering we only played Blackpool last season. Forest should bring 2k+ too (if not more), whereas Blackpool would struggle to sell half that. Hopefully Forest will make a few changes, with survival their main aim this year.

Happy days then. Give them half the Atyeo and at those prices, fill the other half with our fans. 

I hope McCrorie is rusty and lacking sharpness cos hes bloody awful!!

How did McCrorie do? I know probably a pointless game to come on but where did he play, did he show anything of worth??

Hoping to see Murphy on that team sheet soon!

Injured………..

I see the blue few are confirmed as the Weds night, so would make the rather obvious assumption of us being the Tuesday now!

Brilliant save from Ward-Prowse.

He’s in goal……..??

That is fair.

I still maintain players develop at different speeds..sometimes League Two to the Championship can be a bit much in one go. My point is I guess I'm not as confident as some that he would have been a  smash hit or a sure thing.

Never!! Look at George Tanner, hes accomplished in the Champ from League 2!

I think you'd be surprised. He hasn't played since October and that was at a much lower standard, the game will be a lot faster in the Championship so that match fitness and sharpness is unlikely be there.

I’d bet hes got more legs to command a place over Weimann!

Firstly I’m not sure he’s been registered in time.

Secondly I believe his last game was in October.

Lastly you have no idea how he compares to those currently on the bench.

I expect him to be involved in the match day squad within the next month or so but definitely for the experience rather than expecting him to be another Scott.

Who said he was a Scott? 
 

He looks a very arrogant type in his interview which i think is great. Sort of player that a bit of arrogance will show in his play. 
 

Whether he is eligible or not for West Ham, i’d expect him as one of 9 subs immediately at Preston. 
 

Doesnt have to be ‘fit’ to get 20 mins here and there. 

Cant be any worse than the other 17/18 year olds sat on our bench not getting a game. Chuck him on the bench for West Ham i say and lets see.

I have a horrible feeling we'll never see him in a City shirt again 

I couldn't make the game today but watched on Robins TV. Joe Burnell was the guest summariser he even mentioned JL stating we're a top six side, you could tell by the way he said it he didn’t believe it either. 

On a side issue, does Joe Burnell work for the club as he was wearing a City jacket and tie. 

But also mentioned he's getting the train to WHU with friends to support the team 

Interesting, others have said the opposite that he helped by letting the game flow 

Sadly didn't happen, at least it could have been a good reason to be so lacklustre 

Bloody hell. The absolute pass-backwards master Mr Burnell?! No wonder thats why we always go backwards if he was watching on.

Still available 

God i hope nobody took them, as generous as free is, i really hope someone didnt waste their life today like 20,000 of us!

Had a good thing going with us but literally has done nothing anywhere else. 
Im sure POMO’s and box entries just dont cut it in the lower leagues.

Shock!! ( not ).

The Weimann shot should have counted as a shot on target, but the ref failed to give the corner.

Hows it on target if it went for a corner?! Weimann didnt touch it. Perhaps if he had he may have scored. 

Ffs Mehmeti!

He was unhappy with the stick he got from the Dolman after his career-threatening injury went unpunished. What a sausage. Just made Knighty’s winner even sweeter

To be fair, the resurrection of him was just unbelievable. 
It wasnt quite Greg Halford for Rotherham under Colin’s management, but a resurrection all the same!

I assumed he was Brazilian or something the way he was acting, plus wearing his nice tights n gloves, didnt realise it was him until he scored.
