Cannot wait for this season to be over and not think about this football club for a couple of months, never been so disillusioned with it all

Said the same thing earlier, played his way out of a new contract last few games. Couldn’t help but laugh when he passed it to one of the stewards instead of his team mate and proceeded to blame everyone else 

Jesus Christ this is boring, what has happened to us? 

Don’t post that often here but am a frequent reader, thought I’d share my thoughts as what I’d considered a balanced City fan.

For context my first season ticket was in the Danny Wilson days at 10 years old, I had become accustomed to different styles of football since then, yielding different results and a whole array of new and “improved” agendas.
 

To focus on our more recent history, we have had a turbulent few years where we experienced some highs and lows since being back in the championship, which under mr Pearson I had felt was trending in the right direction. I had awaited each pre match interview always excited with what Nige had to say. Arriving to each match with Nige at the helm I felt we were in safe hands and knew that all players were going to give us 100% each game and play to our strengths wherever we could.

As much as I think Liam is a likeable, tactical and potentially progressive head coach, I’m unsure this fit is what we’ve needed to achieve the next level. I feel all previous optimism has completely diminished for me, the whole team play with a different personality and for the first time in a fair few years I don’t feel at one with our club. I’m struggling to look forward to our games currently and feel something has to give with the hierarchy, I’m always going to love our club but hope it’s not just me who’s in a currently disillusioned state!

How did Bednarek not get booked on that break away  But eff all that! Great performance from the boys!

That's not true @footie as we already have it confirmed it is being shown live on Paramount + in Australia

For info it is $8.99 a month but there is a free 7 day trial

Here's hoping this site is accurate! Believe a previous Aus poster stated it wasn't stated as shown on Paramount for them 

My IPTV provider has put out a post saying the only 2 replay games being televised anywhere in the world are the two fixtures on BBC and ITV this week. 

Looks like a night sat next to the radio like the good old days!

It's showing as "Upcoming Live" on Robins TV, hopefully some coverage for us "overseas" supporters 

Thought Mehmeti did pretty well in the grand scheme of things! Think that’s probably our subs done now

It couldn't be us, could it?

BristolWorld believes that an unnamed Championship side that is not Stoke City as previously reported, holds an interest in Collins, but that is as far as it goes. A club in question has recently received a transfer windfall from the sale of one of their key players to a rival and could consider Collins as a potential replacement.

 

 

Sounds like Swansea to me, Piroe to Leeds being the windfall.

Would like to see Naismith back in to be honest.

Not sure if this has been covered - If Alex Scott gets booked tonight, does he miss Cardiff?

 

No, only league bookings count towards league bans

Thank you Sir I successfully used one of them.

Not sure if it makes a blind bit of difference but I know of his girlfriend and she’s from Bristol, might sway his decision?

I, like many others, thought he would be on his way to pastures new last summer, testament to him for sticking with it and showing what a great championship level player he can be, an asset for us now

According to TalkSport Wolves have walked away from a deal for Scott, not being prepared to meet City's valuation. 

As much as a deal could be beneficial to us, I can't help but feel a sense of relief with news that he may stay a bit longer!

Well I had the displeasure of attending the Lincoln cup game and can tell you for sure, he didn't look 6'3. Or 6'2. Or even 6'1. 

But if you still need convincing, go to the 9 minute Youtube highlights and pause it at 6 mins 47 seconds.

By the way, Andy King is 6'0.

It's entirely a personal preference - I prefer a keeper who has a physical presence about him and Bajic isn't for me. Maenpaa was. 

I've seen him on a few occasions and it's never struck me that he comes across as a small keeper.

Maybe Bajic doesn't currently have the physical presence however I would argue that not many keepers do at his age. You're looking at another 8/9 years until he would be considered in his prime for a keeper so am quite content for him to be understudy to Max for now until he gets a proper chance to show what he's about.

If he's 6'3" MrF then I'm a dutchman. I believe my own eyes, not some website.

Edit - He's the same height as Andy King. 

Is this for real?  He is not a short GK by any stretch, maybe your own eyes could do with some testing

Cheers both, was unsure on the away allocation numbers as they sell the home end out every week.

Listening to the interview with NP he mentions changing formation. Also Sykes as a wide player and for some reason mentions Naismith started as a winger. 

I'm fearing some odd positional choices against Brum.

I don't think Kal has played there since his early twenties, hoping it is indeed a decoy 

Wouldn't mind seeing Scotty push into number 10 behind Antoine and Nahki with Naismith, Williams and James behind should we go with the back 4.

Or maybe Antoine and Mark Sykes in wider roles and Wells spearheading

Is this likely to be an away sell out do we think? I wanted to attend this one with a couple of mates but don't have a season ticket to get priority tickets so am holding off booking flights until the allocation info is released!

Spot on.  To be offside you should be beyond the final defender when the ball is passed and when you receive the ball.

Can't be right, would mean Conway wasn't offside as he was clearly onside when he touched the ball.

Players come back from offside positions and receive the ball in onside positions all the time, - Definitely offside.

Is there really no stream anywhere? How do they get their goal highlights if it's not being captured somehow

Also what's the point of a Cup that no one can watch? Aren't they shooting themselves in the foot with TV rights?

Hoping a stream will pop up closer to kick off, I seem to remember the Wycombe game was randomly on their ifollow channel despite Carabao games apparently not being permitted on there!
