I just thought he was a generic coach that came with a bonus of speaking multiple languages, which was useful when we had a more cosmopolitan squad. I know HNM has said he's helped him a lot.

Grew up off the Glos Rd and frequented The Sportsman regularly. Great place for a pint and pool, friendly vibes. That sort of shit has no place there. Not the for the first time unfortunately.

We were totally crap. Player's take a large part of the blame i guess but the pressure is well and truly on NP now.

That performance is stinking my house out. Nowhere near them. Sort it out Nige ffs.

You're not wrong! Looks like a successful launch...

Some great shouts, keep em coming. Neville and Riley, my 1st duo partnership!

Well put. Before my time, but thankfully I've been well educated in our clubs history to appreciate them.

Yep, enjoyed them both. Think Greg still has the highest step overs to games ratio of all time. At least for us.

Liking the deep lateral thinking outside of duos chaps. Well that's controversial. I'm obliged to press you for a why Graham, not that it's necessary!

With the news that Mr Michael Bell has been brought in on a perm deal by Tinman... https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/micky-bell-joins-city-full-time/ I was reminded that they probably formed one of the best partnerships I've seen in my time following City. Tinnion over, through, down the side to Bell was a regular sight and great to watch. Who would yours be and why?

Absolutely! Yep the very same...

Televised fixtures... FA Cup first-round televised games Friday, 5 November AFC Sudbury v Colchester United 19:55 kick-off - live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer Saturday, 6 November Banbury United v Barrow 17:15 - live on ITV4 Sunday, 7 November Sheffield Wednesday v Plymouth Argyle 12:15 - live on ITV Stratford Town v Shrewsbury Town 15:00 - live on ITV4 St Albans City v Forest Green Rovers 17:15 - live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer Monday, 8 November Dagenham & Redbridge v Salford City 19:45 - live on ITV4 Wednesday v Plymouth probably the pick of the bunch but i do love those early league/non league match ups. Good days viewing on Sun 7th.

Would we be able to keep any of them for that long? If they're at a prime age for signing and in form, we'll be lucky to hold onto them for more than a season or two. HNM and Atkinson being prime examples. Scott still young but on a similar trajectory.

I think thats the first really below average game from James. He's been pretty consistant so far. So poor was pretty much everyone else it's hard to have a good game there without any real support. King will always be a squad player if our midfield is fully fit. He's got a goal and at least 1 assist i think so far which is fine if he is making cameos but i don't expect him to be starting twice a week. Possibly something not right on Sat, not 100% but we were so far off the pace as a whole it's hard to tell. We know all about Pato. I think he fits in better to that Swansea side that he would if he was still here. Can't see him as a Nige type of player. We need Massengo back and hopefully in the form he was before the inury. Depending on Williams and even if it's a shorter term one this time, we may well be needing to add a CM/DM to the Jan shopping list - if there is one! I don't dislike Bakinson, but the negatives are starting to outweigh the positives, could be one to move on or at least loan out come Jan.

We were poor though. That's what grates. Hopefully Massengo and Atkinson will be back. Quite looking forward to WBA away, not so much Forest at home for obvious reasons.

Afraid so. Hamstring again by the looks of it. Really feel for him. Just need to get him right, even if it takes most of the season to do so.

Nowhere near the level needed to compete with a quality opposition like that. Injuries didn't help but very poor right through the side today.

No more than we deserved. We look 2nd best in every area.

Absolutely gutted for Williams

Like the purple and lime but that's no classic.

Is that Palmer wearing my grandmother's wallpaper?

Fair play to Hungary, they played well. England off form for sure. Grealish off was an odd one and i don't think it did us any favours.

Unlucky Faroe Islands!

Looks like a copper got sparked out in that crowd trouble. Fists and batons swinging all over the place.

Did they come in a proper pint glass or one of those ridiculous tall Peroni ones that are just asking to be knocked over once everyone's had a couple. Bloody nightmare if there are 5 or 6 on a table.
