GrahamC Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 No idea of the calibre of the opposition but that is an excellent result, especially with Britton having gone out on loan again, Towler presumably kept back as 19th man for tomorrow & losing a player (Soady) in the warm up. Super effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 If I recall correctly, City’s sole defeat was against Sheffield UTD - I always did fear them. But they don’t appear in our league - presumably in the Northern Group, so how does this actually work, i.e. why do we play against a team from the Northern Group?

Play each team in your region home and away, only play teams in the north group once and usually alternate home and away each season. @ShtanleyBit of a disservice in last post, Z.Bell is also a 1st year scholar and Kadji who came on late is another.

I believe city had a few self isolating. Hence the younger ones getting in squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper 123 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 So why do we not see these youngsters intergrate with the first team surely some of these young men who I guess are full of running are worth a place on the bench , this is what fans want exciting fast football,bring in the kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others travelling and training with the first team, baby steps maybe but a definite move to integrate them more. Coupled with that we have several out getting games or similar experiences elsewhere.

Pretty sure if you pull out with ten mins to go till kick off you can’t go on the bench I suspect that Edwards was de facto on the bench, but the official team sheets that the BBC and other write ups use wasn't amended because the change was so late? So reports show Bakinson, but it was Edwards in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to send people to the PL matches and occasional Championship games, but all the other reports for their wire service - which goes out to the BBC website and loads of national newspapers - is done from their office in Howden. So, no, the authors usually aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend Derek used to do lots of London and South-East ones. You were lucky to get out, @tin. Jobs have been decimated at PA. They used to have one lady covering the entire West Country and Wales for news. Now she's gone and only very occasionally will a reporter venture out to pursue a story west of Reading. It's led to rise of unreliable sources, like SWNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Football24 service used stringers from all over the country, I dabbled in a bit of that on weekends. You're right about the jobs being decimated. That's just the industry, though - on it's knees (and not because of the virus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
