Crowds

Because I can, feel free to do the same. Try something positive you might like it, but I doubt it.

Out of interest, how often do you attend City games these days?

Out of interest, how often do you attend City games these days?

NEVER because of my illness , Why ?

I was wondering why you seem so upset by the opinions of others, especially as the subject is poor crowds, which City's undoubtedly are. I simply wondered how your average matchday experience was this season.

Well I am sure you will have formed your own opinion of that. I support the club any way I can, and still love it, unlike you.

A few weeks ago, I bumped into an old mate I used to got to school with. We used to go to home games together when were youngsters and travelled away together regularly too. He still attends home games reasonably regularly. He continued to support the club throughout the re-brand fiasco.

We got to talking about City and he said he hadn't been to watch them since the 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in February. He said the game was awful to watch and the atmosphere was flat. He said he was in no rush to go back as it simply wasn't enjoyable.

City were second at the time and unbeaten in five games. The match report on the BBC website said: "Neither side was able to keep possession or attack fluently in a disjointed first half, with efforts on goal largely limited to long-range strikes from Hoilett and Boro's Adama Traore. Predictably, it was a set-piece which led to the goal. Hoilett whipped in a deep, in-swinging free-kick towards the back post, where Morrison rose to glance in his second headed goal in a week. Cardiff had beaten Bolton here four days earlier with two goals from set-pieces and this was another functional, professional display."

That's how it's been for months. Functional, hard-working, committed performances from the players, but very little fluency or flair, with most goals coming from set-pieces. As I said earlier, I think the manager and his staff have done an amazing job with the squad they have at their disposal, but it's not been entertaining or exciting for anyone other than diehard supporters who are happy as long as their team win.

How would you compare Malky's promotion side for entertainment value out of interest?

How would you compare Malky's promotion side for entertainment value out of interest?

I thought they were pretty dire but got shot down in flames on here when I dared to suggest they had won promotion by attrition. Even Steve Borley had a go at me for that.

To be honest, I didn't see a great deal that team. I wasn't taking anywhere near as much as interest. I didn't see any games in the flesh and I only watched two or three on Sky. That team did have the likes of Bellamy, Whittingham, Kim, Noone, Conway, Mutch and Smith, who were all capable of producing some exciting stuff. This team seems only to have Hoillett, Zohore (when he's in the game) and Mendez-Laing (when he's on form). To say it lacks flair is an understatement.
