ExiledAjax Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 4 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Some names in there that it's good to see again. Naismith and Atkinson but also Acey (was injured for a while I think) and Leeson after recall. No Sykes presumably means he's either involved tonight or isn't quite ready for anything yet. Think Manning said he was "very close" in the press conference so I guess there's a chance he's on the bench tonight? Am I stupid thinking Twine as a loanee normally wouldn't play U21s much if at all? 2 Quote Link to comment

italian dave Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, slartibartfast said: Yes, about ONE game ,wasn't it ? Not even that, I think! He was quite injury prone. He played only 90 odd games in 6 years at Burnley. And as far as I can find out, he picked up an injury that forced his retirement before he’d played a game for us. Seems like our injury curse was ever thus! Quote Link to comment

W-S-M Seagull Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 5 hours ago, ExiledAjax said: Interesting to hear that we did 20 minutes of throw in practice. I had thought I'd noticed a bit of improvement there. We had a thread on here a couple of weeks ago about that. Many premier league clubs now employ set piece coaches. I assume that includes throw ins. Quote Link to comment
Barrs Court Red Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Anyone know why it’s an 8pm kick off? Makes the 21:37 from Parson street unviable. Annoying Quote Link to comment

Good to see Atkinson and Naismith on the pitch and want to read more than is there into the fact Sykes and Twine aren't in the U-21 squad... Yes. Quote Link to comment
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 2 hours ago, Supersonic Robin said: Feels like with Sky, the weird 'international coverage', and the cup games, I've barely been able to watch City on Robins TV recently. You'd think they'd find a way to give Robins TV subscribers automatic access when games are covered on Sky - simply removing the game from Robins TV seems harsh for those that have paid for the service. It's the equivalent of revoking a season ticket holder's ticket for games that are on Sky. I'm fortunate enough to be able to find other ways to access live streams of the games, but I'm sure there are others who aren't. This is one of the reasons why I only subscribe to the audio and not the tv. 1 Quote Link to comment

Billio Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 3 hours ago, Baba Yaga said: That was the only one that came to my mind initially, seen that they were unbeaten in the league but had lost a couple in the cups. If it was based on how impressive the win was at the time I guess that would be top of the list. Judging by how much of the ball Southampton have had in their recent games I would be more hopeful of quality of the tech than the action. I do believe that we only had 30% possession on Saturday yet won. 1 Quote Link to comment
95red Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 7 hours ago, redkev said: Same amount as me roughly but I would honestly say apart from the cotterill era , bit of Gary Johnson and some Danny wilson this is probably the highest standard consistently we have played at , if you remember we have had some pretty dark days , it’s not great at the moment but I do see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel , 7-1 away to Northampton , 6-1 at home to wolves 5-0 away to Blackpool losing 1-0 at home to palace who were on a 19 game without a win run being totally dominated for a period by the gas oh and yes the cherry on the cake the pulis era , so perhaps things at all bad at the moment . Yes your right highest standard consistently definitely just don't feel the same ,probably getting old but some of my best memories/ moments were 80s 90s when things we against us ,the atmosphere, banter, away days ( what's a designated pub :laugh:).We got great set up now agreed but those old days were special. City through & through will always go just sometimes the 90mins bit in the middle of my Saturday is a let down . Quote Link to comment

old_eastender Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Hoping Sykes is fit to be on the bench. Also hope we go with a back 4, not a 3 which becomes a 5 as we surrender midfield and invite the opposition on to us. 1 Quote Link to comment

It sounds like basically nothing to me! Edit: haven't listened to the interview yet so if I've missed some context apologies From memory, I think LM was using it as an example of how something they haven't had much time to work on was squeezed into the hectic schedule and bore fruit. 1 Quote Link to comment
