Fair play. Wouldn’t have guessed those stats after seeing both line ups tonight.

Could do without ET.

Cornick warming up. Possible injury.

Ah ffs. 
 

Injury I mean btw…

It would be nice to play well for a full 90 minutes…

Here’s hoping

Who took that shot before knight’s goal?

King.

Feel like I’m relying on tomorrow’s newspaper for the result!

Old skool

Decent.

Would love to see a Venn diagram of people complaining about that line up & those who thought we should’ve played better away at Cardiff

Just having a bit of fun really. I think we all knew the line up would not be our full strength

Ah it was fun for a while. Congrats to Forest…

Here we are again - FA Cup night under the lights by the Trent. We’ve got players back now so the defence is stronger and Kouyate will come straight in to midfield alongside Danilo. Elanga is back as is Awoniyi so the frontline will be a lot quicker. I think we will field the strongest side and try to get it done by half time to rest Awoniyi and Elanga for the weekend. Hudson Odoi will probably be out after the studs down his Achilles vs Bournemouth.

Turner

Montial - Omobamidele - Murillo - Toffolo

Kouyate - Danilo

Williams - Gibbs White - Elanga

Awoniyi

I hope somebody puts Toffolo in the stands.

Bit harsh on Ashley Williams.

Like it or lump it, that’s the choice we’ve got and always had. We can stick with following the team or not bother going down. Always been this way.

Frustrating as it is, I know that I shall probably see my way to buying a season card for next year... more through heart, habit and hope than logic!

What would soften the decision to buy my ticket and give me hope for next season?

1) A top 10 finish with signs that the new regime were turning the corner with more convincing attacking performances and more consistency. I think psychologically getting top 10 would be a clear progressive boost for the club and supporters. A platform to kick on.

2) A transition in style that does not rely on another ridiculous and over expensive churn of playing staff. Invest in a few/couple more quality key players to supplement a solid hard working squad (relatively expensive investment but not to put us up shit creek as before). Also we really do not have the cash for such a churn like before.

3) LM and staff to show more signs and vision to be be adaptable and pragmatic at times in developing his style to get results. Particularly to be more flexible and effective in changing tactics in game to bring results.

If LM and the club can achieve this, then I believe it would start to reunite the fan base and create a less toxic, more positive atmosphere. I don’t want to be able to turn round and carry on spouting “I’ve heard it all before”, just want some hope but most of all some entertainment and the signs of some real success.

Bonus:

To beat Forest and get a nice little run in the cup. Be brave v Man Utd and give them a game (Beat them obviously).

There. Not asking for too much is it. Or is it?

That’s another thing that annoys me with this club. Why is it when the season looks like it’s over, we then look like a good side getting results. City then announce season ticket prices, we jump on it with excitement for the following season.

Then it all comes crashing down. Repeat, repeat and repeat. 
 

We are that guy that always puts off going to the gym, there is always tomorrow sort of attitude…

So frustrating.

I'm in absolute shock at the criticism of Mehmeti, I think he's developing into a standout player in the squad. When he plays well we tend to play well, cast your mind back to Watford away and Hull, back to back games where he was the best player on the pitch. Inconsistent at times, yes, but we musn't forget he's a young player who's been here only a season and been in professional football for only 3 years. If we let him go I would bet my life savings on it biting us even more than with a Szmodics.

Bell has never particuarly impressed me, feel he may be a league 1 player, but worth keep hold of to let him develop for another season, especially as he's only recently signed a new deal.

Selling players in this way hasn't benefitted us before - why would it now?

2 games. I would have hoped for more it has to be said…

There was a chance to get points against the likes of Birmingham, Millwall and Preston. We didn’t, the players have looked leggy going into a spell of games(7 in 23 days) against some very good sides.

This division is brutal but my word, we could do with a win somewhere!

I think if we would have got Jaiswal at the end there, then it would definitely be our day. 
 

Pretty even day.

“Our head-to-head record is shocking: 

Won: 8

Lost: 26

Drawn: 9”
 

I knew our record was bad…. But that’s gotta change! That is pants.

If there’s an option (still seems tbc on that, city not mentioning, Belgian club say so) it makes more sense then just we have him for 4 months. Raekwan Nelson has been in squads and done extremely well in 21s, would’ve been absolutely comfortable and excited to see him blooded more between now and season end. Likewise the same with Yeboah to get more minutes like he did earlier in the season. Especially as the season could well be fizzling out. Very unlikely they are seen again this season, as an example. 
 

Option changes things, as I say, and he hopefully ends up being a worldie, but I personally get more joy out of seeing the gradual blooding and development of our own youngsters vs having them ‘signed over’ for more short term reasoning. 
 

Not a complain or any of this “moan if we sign someone moan if we don’t” tosh that gets thrown around. That’s just me. 

People got their backs up about the Twine deal for the reasons you’ve said, myself included. He’s probably out our reach financially to buy and he would be going back to a league rival at the end of it.

I can get behind this one though.

What will he give us?

I personally think you haven’t got a clue 

There’s the other!!

Interesting and out of the blue. Will give us something different for sure.

Has to be somebody else coming in?

Hahaha I was only posting what was on the Derby forum.

Didn’t know it was gonna cause a shitstorm.
