"we've had a shot". Did we? I was too busy reading OTIB to notice. Inept, incepid, indifferent, but not inthenet. Relegation fodder.

No manager he's played under has ever trusted or rated him highly enough to start him regulary. An ego signing by Mark Ashton, and one of the reasons we can't afford to sign a quality forward. I'm pretty sure we couldn't give Kasey Palmer away at the moment, but if we could I think we would.

5-1 Forget the defensive play Dave This is getting 5 stars from me and I've only been watching since half time.

Thanks for the post @kmpowell. Glad your son had a fantastic day, lovely touches by the fellow supporters (Great photos BTW - I think you look just as excited as your son!)

Nice goal direct from a corner just after h/t, 3-1 city. Dare I say it but the women seem to play to a plan.

All I know is that I birthed more than a dozen kittens during the last quarter of the match. I didn't have the best view of that incident, all I remember is being flabbergasted and mightily relieved not to see the ball in the back of the net.

When you mentioned COD 'getting there' (or not) this is the question my mind came up with: If, every second, COD covers half the the remaining distance to his target player, how long does it take him to get there? And "not as long as it does at the moment" isn't the correct answer.

Well, if you are watching RobinsTv you can see he is seething.

Is the performance of the team worse than the RobinsTV commentary?

I wish we did.

Well, it was weighted superbly. Superbly.

Right. C'mon City. I'll take a shot in the second half. It doesn't even have to be on target. Anything that rasies the xG over 0.0 would do.

Or, nothing you wanted to see.

Yeah, from GMG's comments it sounds like they are just negotiating the settlement figure.

Remember the days when Jurgen the German joined Spurs and introduced the English game to the art of diving. Much to the distain of proper fans. 20, 30 years later (how long has it been?) and that is bloody nothing compared to the crap that goes on today.

And that's probably why he'd miss out on a legitimate pen shout.

Good poiunt re Britton. Since he hasn't signed a new contract I guess there's little point in investring much hope of him coming through. And I honestly think loans are not a very good way to 'strengthen' your team - short term advantage (possibly - but a risk) leading to mid/long term disadvantage.

Well we all said we'd have given it. Obviously not as clear cut as the one they got - probably a 70/30 shout in favour of the pen.

Number 2 is the more worrying aspect to me. That just sums up how mentally weak we are.

I don't think you can blame LJ for not using Scott. If he was here under LJ's tenure he'd have been 16 at most.

There are pros and cons of both. I can see why he's doing it, and I can see why it irks some that he does. Personally I don't care what he does if we're winning ...

Some lifers probably get less. But fair play for bothering - can't be easy sometimes.

There might be eleven named, but it looks more like a starting nine.

Well, I'd hope we'd have HNM available. I'd put in him ahead of Bakinson, and swap Scott and Palmers positions.

Probably doesn't help with most fans arriving late, or staying in the concource until 5 minutes from the start. Mind you we don't have the Rocking Robins anymore ...
