Super Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Probably the lowest quality game in Championship history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtrojan Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 As well as the 4-3 game I also remember the Boxing Day game against Plymouth more recent than that that finished 0-0!! Plymouth played in orange or similar for some strange reason.Packed out as usual on Boxing Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 We were ok second half vs Preston. Think we will play good tomorrow and win 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'm expecting a City win. It won't be pretty especially as we still have a lot of injuries and a naive head coach who's starting to realise that the job's a lot harder when the powers that be offload assets from under your nose at the first sign of waving pound notes.

BRIAN WILSON Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Akinfenwa - Strange isn't it, that someone so iconic in the game (so many appearances and over 200 career goals) is currently playing the highest level ever since he has been in the game - Unbelieveable that he has never played in the Championship before. What a character, and appears to be a top bloke (also done a fair bit for charity) AND got one of the best chants from opposition fans 'Your Tits Are Offside' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Not confident about this game. Weather will be crap. Wycombe have a physical presence, we don’t. Can see 2-1 to Wycombe unless this team steps up and competes across the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met him at a function when he was at Torquay and he is a great guy. The funniest City-related thing I ever saw him do was when we played Gillingham (?) and had Simon Gillet playing for us. The City fans were chanting `you fat bastard` at Bayo and he pointed to Gillet and said `Who? Him?` Made I larf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've managed to score more than one goal in 90 minutes in just two of their 20 games thus far. With a grand total of 12 goals.

Red7 Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Thanks, @Davefevs for providing a great part of the new matchday ritual once again. I'm expecting a tight, cagey game. So now's the time to get your money on a 5-4 or 4-5 result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 On 24/12/2020 at 12:46, pongo88 said: “ Akinfenwa has good touch and he is impossible to get around” sums up one of the problems City may face. He’s unlike other target men who are usually just tall. He’s more of a cube shape and impossible to push off the ball. He hasn’t got any speed but doesn’t need any. It will be interesting to see who is given the job of marking him. IMO it needs to be an experienced defender, and definitely not Taylor Moore (if he plays) Has anyone mentioned that Brian Tinnion tried to sign him at the end of the 2004-5 season (Akinfenwa had played against us for Torquay in a 1-1 draw on the opening day of the previous season), but he turned us down in favour of Swansea?

MelksRed Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 What can we expect? 1. Dodgy conceded goals at the expense of our leaky defence. 2. A lack of bite up front. 3. Lapse passing in mid-field. 4. Another loss. Not really happy with the way things are going at the moment. Thought we may have found a bit of consistent form....instead we appear to have consistent inconsistency. Let's hope we can experience a Christmas miracle.
