Jason knight! Get in

Pre-season exhibition match defending 

Being recorded this week, one to look forward to !

She’s one of the best around, hope to see her back to her best (in both her health and professionally) soon.

What a disaster this season is proving to be 

We’re further from the POs now than when LM was appointed, and with far fewer players out injured.

Of course he’ll take time to settle, and at our best under LM we’ve been very good, but that of course means we wrote the season off in October, and can expect to lose our best players in the summer (that’s “the model”).

I normally quite enjoy rollercoasters…!

Manning - the lads maybe struggled with the pressure and expectation on them today…

That is a laughable comment from LM. 

Sky’s coverage has been appalling tonight, lamenting the curse of FFP before kick off, meaning Parachute Payment Saints could only afford David Brooks on loan and not a permanent signing.

Thought he was very poor, had a perfectly adequate first 30 mins then lost the plot.

Best performance of the season, absolutely fantastic 

Brilliant performance so far, and so pleased for Sam Bell. COYR.

I haven't checked but I assume there will be the usual comment - 'we should be beating teams like Fleetwood Burton Stevenage'.

I imagine supporters of those clubs would think the same of the Gas in the run up to their games vs Rovers.

Stick a fit Sykes , Atkinson , twine , Naismith along with the new chap ( quality unknown) along with the squad that was at Middlesbrough that has to be the best / strongest squad ( fit squad ) for a very long time . 

Too late for this season and we’ll sell our best players this summer, so it’s back around the merry-go-round.

A final, a SF, and stitched up at the World Cup vs France, so he’s not exactly been a disaster. Really looking forward to the Euros with him in charge.

What a day of sport

great result for city amidst fixture congestion, extra time and pens on Tuesday etc. let’s hope we can out a bit of a run together.

Next up, 22 unbeaten Southampton !

Mebude wasn’t eligible for the initial tie which meant he couldn’t feature tonight. We’re targeting a forward in the summer so yea, I think it’s all about next season now. And then I’m sure it will be about the season after, etc etc

Maybe next season they’ll do half season tickets, for the first half of the season. Then we can decide in January whether to buy the other half.

Positive performance, but we lost and the season is effectively over. Just feel a bit empty really
 

So much potential in players like TC but unlikely to be here next season, and not sure where the next TC is coming from. Perhaps Palmer-Houden can come in and make his mark next season.

Yeah I agree. We have hardworking players, who seem to all be pulling in the same direction, but we don't have clinical players, besides Conway who isn't good enough yet to carry us.

Think TC will be gone before we’re in that position

Any chance of praising how well we played against a prem side....pens are a lottery 

Unfortunately the positives will be tempered with the realisation that the fa cup was our only chance of “doing” anything this season, and it’s still only February. 

Good performance but those wasted chances came back to haunt us. ET won’t help our league campaign. Lots of positives to hopefully take forward though. 

Oh dear, losing the penalty shoot out. 

What just happened?!

You forgot ‘Churchman’ , Dave , or whatever the marsh dweller calls himself 

Such a weird bloke, seems to think we hate Ashton because we didn’t get promoted to the EPL

From experience - try combine it with the group games and apply for some tickets in NY , and hope to get lucky catching England but more importantly,  if you haven’t managed to do it before , you get to see a World a cup match live anyway , - something really special IMO - The buzz and colour has an extra something

and as a bonus you may be lucky to catch a juicy game , England or not 

Cheers, I was hoping to wait until England qualified or not first, and then could confirm where and when their group games will be, but ultimately I think it’s a wild goose chase. By the sound of it the prices will spike massively when the fixtures are released and I’d end up paying double for everything. Would still love to see a very likeable team like Japan or Sweden as a neutral if it came to it.
