Lanterne Rouge

All the signs are there that he has the club moving in the right direction.

Best manager they`ve had for years. It would be a travesty to sack him now.

Might have a little look at slagchat after tea. i`m sure there will be much thoughtful reflection and constructive discussion to be had.

These things take time. Mind you, two wins in half a season - on that basis they would get twelve points.

Is the bit where it says `no spectators` what is on every one of these even without Covid?

The new dawn under Ben Garner is still happening then? Weren`t they going up after scabbing a draw at Sunderland?

Only three more and he will equal his entire haul for them

The attendance looks to be about normal.

And they would have flocked there in their hordes. Those temporary traffic lights are a conspiracy to do them down.

And there was a cycle race on.

What happened to Shedman`s Colin Daniel Stand banner? Get that up in the SS

Is that a euphemism?

Same here mate. I don`t want to travel up from West Devon on my own (the chances of all of our group being selected being minimal) so would rather someone closer got the gig.

Be bloody disappointing if he had to make his triumphal return to Bristol with no fans there to give him the reception he rightly deserves.

We`re doing this aren`t we?

I switched over for a bit - what happened?

Rather disappointed watching the highlights on Quest and seeing agent Little failing in his mission and getting one off the line in the last couple of minutes. Has he been brainwashed?

Gonna be a long old trip back from Wearside with them all crammed in the back of Wally`s camper van.

I agree. It`s also fun when you`re bored to select a random page to see what catastrophe had befallen them at that particular time. A bit like `On this day in history` for City fans.

Technically we have - we lost to Spurs in the cup in about 1908 or something and they were a Southern League side - but I believe that`s it. We have come close a couple of times (thank the Lord for Tony Thorpe v Kingstonian!) We certainly don`t have their prowed history of giving non-league clubs a big day out at our expense.

I was listening to the cricket on 5live today and the commentators were being very downbeat about it. I appreciate the cricket season is almost over but they were resigned to no crowds for the T20 which they were hoping would be allowed.

But who will stay in now to keep wicket? Mr Undroppable.

Same here. How much longer do we put up with him chucking his wicket away for single figures in the forlorn hope that one-in-ten he`ll score 90 off 40? Get rid and open with Jos & Tom B

We`ve let them off the hook a bit here, could come back to bite us if we`re not careful.

Along with this fixation they have of getting fans of other clubs to say they love them more than us. Just very needy I suppose - probably didn`t get much love as children.
