If Rotherham can draw at St.marys I'm sure city can!

Rotherham do have an appalling away record but is worth noting checking the report that they were absolutely battered and rode their luck a lot.

Now we are better than Rotherham however 9/10...maybe 19/20 and so on.

signalling problems between Warminster and Salisbury... disruption expected until 18:00 

Same for us. We should be in Southampton by now, but only just left Warminster. Expected arrival in Southampton about 6.30. The only saving factor is you can claim your money back. (50% if a return ticket)

The 2013 line up is interesting. A mix of some good player and 3 or 4 who are dubious to say the least. 

Yet those 7 or 8 (carrying the dubious ones) managed to get to the playoff finals. 
That team was great. I miss them. 

[Garland-sweden]

Difficault tonight but If defence can be strong and we get speed and legs forward we could take points.COYR

I might be getting confused, I changed it to Gerry Gow after I had given it more thought.

Gow scored the year after in a 3-1 defeat.

Blue?

New Year’s Eve, or possible the day before maybe if I recall? They’d gone the calendar year unbeaten at home to that point

If you don't think it's blue what would you call it?

I remember us beating them 2-0 in Derek McInnes' first game in charge. 2011 I think? There was a time where that era did have some promise before that brutal 2012/13 season

I remember… no , it’s gone.

We will win tonight. 

Great recent record against them. Last 6....won 4, drew 1, lost 1.

All the pressure on them. 

Tommy will get 2 and Mehmeti 1. 

Looking forward to hearing the Home fans moaning. 

COYR's

That's what I heard too

We do have a reasonable record albeit with different tim4 and circumstances.

All the same, if we get a point we will have done well realistically speaking.

So, we could get a point, but their attack is really good, so we'll probably just get a point. Right? 

Yes surely this makes sense haha... sorry meant to mean it will be tough game but we seem to do well away and when we are the underdog

 Ivan Sproules goal v Saints at Ashton Gate when he ran half the length of the pitch and tucked it away. I am convinced that ninety nine percent of City fans believed he would sky it! 
A ‘Go Forrest ‘ moment.

There were two great goals v Southampton by Sproule iirc, one in October 2007 and one in February 2009- which one do you mean?

We all thought he might go full Forrest Gump and carry on down the tunnel.

Shows how small a squad we have

And only 1 of the subs is a defender,.

[RedM]

[Mr Popodopolous]

14 outfield players who aren't youth and that's if we exclude Bell and Conway from that total.

We are missing..

McCrorie, Atkinson, Pring, Roberts

King

Benarous

Wells

Is that right?

[Ziderarmy]
