A little like going to a pub and ordering mashed potato, chips and roast potatoes with gravy.

I very much felt like i was watching city under the last few months under Cotts. Little errors costing points, no confidence going forward. The crowd felt like they had just given up. I am surprised how tolerant the bristol fans were because if city were playing that badly the crowd would have been more on there back!! We sat near the dugouts and what i couldn't get over is the amount of non playing staff involved.  2 water attendants, a medic and physio for each team who looked like they wanted to go on at every opportunity, a bloke with a towel and a bloke with the kicking disc plus 2 blokes to keep track of the multiple substitutions. No wonder it was stop start all the time. The only thing i would take is the timing system. Why cant the same system be used in football where the ref stops the clock and it is clear for everyone.  Then once the time is up the next time the ball goes out of play, game over. What do people think?

I think it might work better in football that is does in rugby (ball actively in play for say 80 minutes). At the rugger I noticed that the clock ran down during the long "pauses" setting and retaking scrums, kicks etc. In fact I kept checking to try and find a time the clock was actually stopped.

It was shocking but I think most football fans will find it a hard watch. After the clock had run down at the end of the first half it took 3 attempts and 5 minutes to complete a scrum just to get the ball into touch and for the players to take a break. Sums up rugby for me and is the reason I'm not a regular.

I need to sit in a dark room and calm down.

Ok so keep in one place ...... Somewhere else 

Should be in a non football forum anyway as they have never played football.

Newcastle up next, probably best time to play them while there still sorting themselves out. Still we'll need to play a hell of a lot better.

Norwich up next.

Agard scored.

Damn. Should have known OddsChecker was trying to tell me something.....

Anyone bet on Agard to be 1st goalscorer?

Solihull Moors 1 up against Bromley

He was busy and positive , get over his physique and look at the free kicks he gets when being pushed over .

I thought he had quite a good game today .

I agree Major.

Far worse performances in the team today for me. Golbourne and Odemwingie were shockingly bad to name but two. Lets hope it's a blip.

I don't get it, some had us relegated after 3 minutes today. When we win the really negative posters disappear until the next defeat and then they spend days shouting down anyone who says anything positive, dismissing them as "happy clappers". Some people seem to have forgotten the season is a marathon, not a sprint and things will change all the time over the course of it. One thing that needs to be consistent is our support.

I've been known to use that term this season but that was pretty much in relation to the SC & Freeman backers. You know - the ones who thought and think they could and can (Freeman) do no wrong. I think Pembs and Wade did a good job and would have stuck with them until the end of the season but am happy with LJ thus far. I think we now have more than enough to stay up.

Get in there Flinty !!

Any team news yet? Like to know before I make a bet and I cannot leave for the ground until then....

The, lost, Cotts, plot, has.

Ok at what time, and at what score will SC introduce his first sub?

 

I will start things off 2-0 to Reading 88 min.

2-0 to Reading and 89th minute.

Apart from anything else, I think it's proved to everyone else in the squad - Reid, Burns, Little etc. - that no mater what they do, the manager is not going to give them a chance.  And it proves to everyone in the team that, no matter how abject they are, they'll continue to get picked unless we sign anyone.  Not really much of a motivator is it?

None at all..... I'd be trying to engineer a move away if I were one of them.
