If it was exactly the same team against exactly the same team year after year and we never won then I'd be concerned, but records just don't matter when the players ain't the same.... I also agree with this. Previous matches at the same stadium with entirely different playing staff and management are of no significance whatsoever. As for "bogey sides", that's just coincidence and the law of averages; if there are maybe 20-30 teams you play on a regular basis, statistically speaking there will likely be 1 or 2 teams in that group that you hardly ever beat. Ultimately what will decide the game will be the footballing ability and tactics of the two respective teams, with the random element of luck thrown in.

We've won 3 of the last 4 meetings, so hopefully any perceived hoodo they have over us, is on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarr_in_z Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 We never ever win in the East Midlands. At least not since the early 1990's. Another defeat, followed by a run of 6 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzos Only Goal Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I love the way that a couple of wins have turned many us into soothsayers, any chance you can tell me the results for my football coupons as its all that easy?

Wanderingred Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I can see us losing by the odd goal if I'm honest. Obviously hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the best option is probably Bryan to play there till Ayling returns. Can't agree with this at all. Bryan's performance at left back against Leeds was one of the worst I've seen from a City player this season; the concept he could do a better job on the opposite side and on his wrong foot is beyond me. He is not defensively sound enough at this level for that role; needs to be playing as an attacking player or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the linesman missed the handball in the build up to the goal, where do they get these officials from? Think that about covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little has been unfit all season and has been a liability at right back. Little isn't a liability; certainly not since we shifted to a back four - the facts are that we've conceded just three times in the five games he's played, and four in the times he wasn't on the pitch during that run (the Leeds game, and the first 60 minutes of Brighton). It's an frequently repeated, but little backed up claim. It's a shame Vyner was so effectively singled out and his inexperience exploited by Brighton on Tuesday, but saying instead of bringing back in Little, playing a left footed winger who was ruthlessly exposed by a limited Leeds team played on his stronger foot is a better option isn't something I can get on board with. Might as well play Agard there. Even Wagstaff would be a better option than Bryan; I'd even say Williams, based on what I've seen from him this season. But please Lord; keep Bryan out of the defence. He's much better attacking player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
