Indeed. Apparently it was Jay’s (son) decision to take the same shirt number as his dad, according to the media down here. Apart from the poignancy of the occasion, it’s a bit of a coup for the Grecians; Jay actually started for Fulham in the Prem a few weeks back and got an assist for Bobby Decordova-Reid after 2 mins!

My issue is that the sound is a split second ahead of play. Enough to ruin the pictures but not enough time to phone the bookies

Or a giant Robin perched on the bridge ?

Yep didn’t mean that, just whether he came through our youth system?

Brennan - did he come through it? Know he was Canadian but still possible I guess?

In pure economic terms (and I know it’s only the very start of his career), but I wonder what Conway is worth versus the cost of running the academy per year. Suspect there would be a positive cost benefit analysis!

All anybody wants with Zac is for him to stay switched on for the whole game, then you’re left with a very decent defender. Last 2 games have been encouraging so long may it continue.

Staying up all night with that reward ?

I don’t believe they don’t want City to win, which makes them a fan. Whether they’re worth having as fans is more debatable!

I see what you did there ?

I don’t really see the point of goading those particular individuals (and yes they are predictably negative) after such a terrific result and performance? Why replace the positivity with negativity? We’re all City fans after all.

Largely agree with this. I also find it ironic that Nige talks about a desire to be like rugby and have refs miced up. Rugby also has a culture where by the ref will not tolerate any abuse from players or coaches, and decisions are respected even if they aren’t happy with them.

Agree. Ref let a lot go so suppose could argue Sykes was a yellow in that context, but I’m inclined to think it was reckless. The point being all the decisions were arguable, not nailed on. And I’m sorry but I do think Nige makes himself sound like NathanJones when he goes on about retiring because of refs.

Think every game would end up 7-7!

Tbf it was Holden who first played him deeper which was working v well until he got he serious injury.

Yep sort of team we can struggle with

I agree the Freeman was a bit lucky, he still gave him a strong push, hands or not

I’ve been unconvinced about Pearson but I do love that in general he plays ultra attacking wing backs, and tonight refused to shut up shop when Sykes went off.

Everyone was Nothing less than very good and Naismith, Atkinson, Massengo were outstanding. Sykes also but was a bit reckless.

Now we see!

I really don’t think it was. But who cares!

I wonder if we’ve had some sort of exorcism and sent it down the M4?

I hope we see Semenyo and TC together. Monster pressing, pace, strength, goals etc

Well you’ve ruddy ruined it now! ?

Imagine how beautiful the first one would be. I’d be laughing for the whole of the following season?
