We’re really under the cosh here

Ref loves an uncontested drop ball!

What a save by max!

Two very easy decisions. Unacceptable at this level.

This ref is a real turd but we are playing really well

Think we’ll get battered today so would be delighted with a point.

Funding radio shows that ask what the punishment for blasphemy should be instead of continuing to fund QoS is a choice well within their scope, the blame lies nowhere else.

You use data in pre-season. The only data that matters in December is points.

Might as well buy us, no chance we’ll ever qualify for Europe and we seem to play Bath and Cheltenham every pre-season, so need concerns about flying abroad to worry about.

All the talk seems to be that she’s an excellent referee, were the others getting higher marks? That would be a real shame.

Celebrate that!

A defeat or draw on Saturday will make it 20 home games without a win for me (I can’t go to every game, so have a real knack for picking the defeats and draws). I might have to give Keynsham Town a go if we don’t win, 20 is plenty!

The fan base didn’t sign up to a mid season rebuild and a wasted season at best (hope you’re pleased with that, ST holders) or an avoidable relegation battle at worst. It will be very difficult to turn that around.

I fear we will get hammered on Saturday, Sunderland are looking good. The crowd response won’t be pretty.

The only message he’ll listen to is fans not attending.

If we’re writing off 4 weeks, then I think we’re writing off the season. The Championship is too competitive, particularly for a team without parachute payments.

That’s me out

We made season by season increases in points under NP, yes they were very modest increases, but that’s good against a backdrop of massive decreases in player budget and the loss of our best players. He wasn’t the messiah but we did well, I think the financial context is crucial. We were a mid table side under NP but heading in the right direction; if that’s unlikely to change under LM I don’t see the point in the change. They should at least have made this clear when the change was made instead of the bollocks about having a top 6 squad (assembled by NP with very little money!). They have set LM up to fail.

We’re always at AG between 60-90 mins before KO, so they might just be bored as it’s quieter then, plus I’m 6 foot 4 so probably just look a bit shifty. My 4 year old daughter as well

I go in past KFC and get stopped by the stewards stood by the bollards every time, it’s a pain.

They’re smaller than our Women’s team. Absolute grubs.

Ah I might have the wrong end of the stick, I thought the play off was to qualify for the Olympics. only 12 teams competing in the Olympics, that’s harsh!

Qualifying criteria seems bonkers, Belgium still have a shot at qualifying and we don’t? Bit farcical.

Will be a real shame if AW left in that way, though he really is struggling at the moment. He’s always given 100% for City, rarely playing in his preferred position, and at one time was even filling in at AWB for NP. Other than GK and Left and centre back he’s played pretty much everywhere I think.

We are maxed out on our wage budget already, so how can we bring any in? And we have a top 6 squad, so why would we need to?
