I found it weird, cringeworthy. Just like Liverpool.

Of course! Forgot that

Would've missed out even if they'd won...final played in Cardiff remember

I think it was me who first compared Twine to Paterson a few months ago, saying I was hoping Twine was like a young Jamie Paterson. I think he has some improving to do to be as good as Paterson was. He falls on the floor more than Paterson, he takes a better corner than Paterson. But the rest, I'd have Paterson everyday of the week.

It was nice to have some class about the club for a couple of years or so. Sadly it always seemed like what he was building was built on sand because of those above him. It seemed inevitable that the class would leave with Nige and his staff, and it has. Such a shame it was cut short way too soon, we were a couple of months into his first proper season, after he miraculously kept us competitive whilst clearing the crap left behind be previous regimes. Glad he's on the mend health wise.

Yep, saw the same thing more or less. I was walking up those steps (ironically the back of my head was on a BBC report), a lad finished a bottle of beer and just launched it as far as he could (about 10ft over my head upon it's journey through the air) into a huge crowd of people packed in tightly. I didnt see where the bottle ended up as I was walking up the steps and it ended up behind me. One of many things from that day which were just barbaric, stupid. This bottle throwing incident, wasn't the worst thing I saw.

Shit me, that's a good post.

Different type of players but I really like the look of Roberts, his attitude too seems great, a real winner. Jay was good too, I think he suits Coventry well, ironically he would suit Manning too! Tanner on the other side is very good as well, not as talented with the ball but an excellent defender and very good 1 on 1 defender too, just goes about his business, never shows much emotion other than a professional poker face. Great to have 2 young lads like that for Free and £300k respectively. If we can get Atkinson fit, then with Vyner and Dickie we are sorted at the back for years.

Great free kick, very little else. I mentioned a couple of months ago I'd hoped he was a young Jamie Paterson, so far I've seen nothing to suggest he's as good as Paterson was. He goes missing a lot and personally I'd pass, and get someone less hyped, maybe from abroad.

Ironically, he played a nicely weighted pass through to Conway who went on to assist the goal today. To be fair, you dont need world beaters in there to compete (Morsy and Luongo at Ipswich, albeit they have promotion momentum). I just think it's too little too late to warrant a new deal.

A midfield player who rarely scores, doesn't run with the ball, isn't strong in the air, rarely passes forward and is injury prone. But he tries really hard and makes rash tackles - seems a perfect fit for a Bristol City midfielder at this level.

Just seen it back. Never a penalty in a million years. Even worse than seeing it Live and I'm in that corner of the South Stand.

Fair enough, difference of opinion is fine. Leicester was one of our better performances since Manning took charge, but we were very fortunate to get anything from the game. Today was another example. It's now 5 unbeaten, but that was dull, boring, painful to watch...again.

Unlike the Blackburn game. There were no gifted goals today to paper over another poor performance - apart from the referee giving us a very questionable penalty. It's not just performances though. The togetherness isn't the same as it was under Nige, something I enjoyed was we worked hard for each other. Now it reminds me of back in school when you'd play up when a supply teacher came in.

I still don't think we're playing really well. Leicester missed a hatful of chances and should've been out of sight. Plymouth we took our only chance, they didn't. Sunderland we were poor but not punished. Blackburn handed us 4 chances, which we took well. I don't think the performances are much different, but we are getting a bit of luck, which has got us results.
