Push for a winner City, go on! Prepared to gamble the point.

Oh right that sounds potentially more promising than it could have done. ??Thanks.

What did he say?

A hamstring injury. And so it begins…

Realistically a point wouldn’t be a bad result, even if it does stretch the winless streak to 15 (fifteen) matches. Almost feel a performance is more important than a result today. We have played very poorly in our last two, maybe three games. A return of 5 points from the last three games flatters us big time if you ask me.

No you can’t drink pitchside above National League South/North. It was one of the interesting points about the proposed ending of the drink ban. Might not matter financially for clubs like us, but for smaller sides in the National League/League Two the revenue they could make from serving beers could be hugely important.

My team, Wingate & Finchley, looking to reach the 4th qualifying round for the first time in their history. Decent chance of it too. Seems crazy that with attendances of approx 150 - 200 a match, could then be one win away from an away day at the Stadium of Light! Magic of the cup certainly feels more alive the further down the leagues you go.

I thought he was awful to be honest. He looked nervous. But hopefully he’ll improve, was his first game at the level to be fair.

It’s just so boring. All the stopping and the tactical breaks and the ‘go down for a minute’… ugh maybe it’s because I’m not there in the ground tonight but Christ alive it’s tedious.

I don’t think it’s that complicated. Some people go to the games and love to sing - fair play to them. Others are primarily interested in watching the football, having a chat with friends. Equally fine. When there’s a big, important, exciting game the latter group will join in. Sometimes even if there’s just a big moment in an otherwise ‘standard’ game. But when you’re midtable, 6 games into a season, and drawing 0-0 with Preston - it ain’t gunna be the San Siro is it.

Think they comfortably beat us last season didn’t they. Still, we need a home win - 4 points from any set of two games is good return, but if we take 2, or 1, then it’s pretty poor really.

It’s a good result IF we beat Luton in midweek.

No one wants to believe it before they have to, do they. Have to say that was an illuminating post to read by Fevs even as a City fan. Didn’t know about the ‘consultancy’ - shocking. Torn. I quite like Ipswich and I’d rather see them come up than Sunderland/Portsmouth but don’t like Ashton and I want him to fail. Also, that’s a strong League One this season, and Ipswich are already 7 points off the autos. I know there’s a long way to go, but that’s a decent enough gap to close already, across a season. I don’t think they’ll go up automatically, to be honest.

Signing 19 players is extraordinary. How can they afford that!?

Does anybody know how to access the red button on the Sky Go computer app? Very frustrating.

Would far rather watch a semi-dysfunctional City side with players like JET, Adomah etc. in it than the current lot. We’re just painfully boring now. Why is entertainment never the number one priority for a football club?

You have to hand it to Gregor. Every time I come on this forum we’re all talking about him and the Bristol Post. I suspect the sports pages of the Post haven’t been this widely read for years.

Ah Jesus - I’m actually so bored of Bristol City just being a bit crap. Not annoyed, just bored. Better see some green shoots soon.

Not convinced I’ve missed football ffs.

I bought myself a Middlesex membership this season. I'm a Somerset fan, but it only cost £70 to get access to all home Middlesex matches and I wanted to watch some live cricket. I have subsequently discovered that because I must sit in the members' areas, I have to wear a shirt with collar to every match. There is no option to buy what is, effectively, a season ticket at Lords in the year 2021 without having to wear a collared shirt to every match. In my opinion, absolutely bonkers. I know we all love cricket for the tradition, but enforcing dress codes on fans just seems mental to me in this day and age.

There's every chance he'll have them promoted with a trophy too by the time this matters though. In which case, it's job done already really isn't it.

Johnstone's Paint Trophy final on Sunday for LJ. Wembley against Tranmere, the division below. Surely going to be his first piece of silverware?

Excuse me for not being overly excited about the major clear out and new set of players on three year contracts who are desperate to learn from DH. Give it a year and we'll be stuck with a further bunch of not-good-enough players with years left on their contract playing under, I suspect, a new manager desperate to be rid of them. And, in the championship, consistently lose!

“Burnley have great potential to grow commercially from shrewd recruitment of players, stadium improvements and wider marketing of the club”. Burnley is a small town in Lancashire where football clubs are two a penny. They have done fantastically well to establish themselves as a lower-end Premier League club, but is there really much room for further growth? Not sure we’ll see the day when legions of Chinese and Indian fans are all sporting Burnley shirts. If I was a Wall St investor looking for a play thing I’d say someone like Oxford Utd or Cambridge Utd would be far more marketable abroad (once millions have been pumped in).

Mark Kelly the something important at Bristol City said it would be ballot but you could put yourself down as a combo of three or four with your family. Assume if the rules allow possibly friends too. I can’t imagine they’d encourage travel around the country.
