Sykes with a snapshot, saved.

First corner of the day, for us...

10 mins gone no attempts on goal by either side, but we have looked just the better side...

first pass of the day from Williams given straight to a Cardiff player

And 4 of those are forwards? Highlights the paper thin squad I guess

Highlights that LM isn't interesting in given Academy players a chance, he had Nelson (who is surely worth a go) on the bench 4 or 5 times but never gave him a minute of game time preferring to waste money on Mebude instead. LM is a disaster appointment.

No snow in Ashton, but the surrounding areas are white.  The game will certainly be on and most of us will be there. Some of the sheep from the valleys might not find travelling so easy though but the trains should be OK provided that it's not the wrong kind of snow.

I had a dream last night that Mehmeti would have a decent game and actually produce some output.  Dreams can be so ridiculous, can't they.

If he plays, we need to clatter O'Dowda early on as he is a bit of a baby and it will be interesting to see Fam again and what reception we give him (I guess he will probably be up for it today).

We really need to put the ghosts of the last couple of games to bed and everyone needs to put in a decent shift today.  I'm predicting a City win.

I'm predicting another winless Manning ball game, with lots of slow play and backwards/sideways passing, but really hope you are right!

If the very unlikely event the club are forced to admit the appointment of Manning has turned out bad, reckon making Andy King caretaker to the end of the season, and see how he does, would be a sensible option...

Well 2 awful performances in a row, thank goodness we had those wins v Boro & Southampton otherwise we would be uncomfortably close to the drop zone.

He may be a great guy but McCrorie isn't up to much on the pitch.

A bit unfair, he is a RB, but was being asked to play right wing.

Williams with another woeful overhit pass. The guy play 1 good game in 5, hope he is released at end of season, rather keep Andy King.

Jason Knight is perhaps the only City player to not deserve being on the losing side.

Getting worse as the half goes on thus far

just like v QPR

Free header for Vyner from TGH FK and he barely makes contact.

Get Mehmeti off, he is doing nothing for us.

HT 2-1, we are just as disjointed and too slow/inaccurate to pass forward, as we were against QPR. Fast losing patience with Manning ball.

Sykes has to clear his lines there.

Been 2 or 3 times now, when Sykes has not done that and then lost possession.

2-1, rubbish defending again.

Mehmeti not shown much, nor Williams or TGH for that matter. Agree Pring does not look fully fit.

Terrible Mehmeti, ball gifted to him and he is too slow to pass to Conway in the box

1-1 Jason Knight looping header

Midfield has been anonymous so far

Indeed Williams and TGH been poor so far, no influcence.

1-0 Weds, as easy as you like

Pitch looks like it's had sheep grazing on it 

The sheep would turn their noses up, not enough grass!

Anyone having trouble with the Robins TV connection? Mine keeps stopping and staring every few seconds.

All ok from Bucharest
