Gonna be tight, but this game is winable

We're a right basket case of a club.

Yep, one or two players looking over their shoulder, hopefully putting in a good shift to impress Warnock.

[bobh]

Jolly good show by Ralls.

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

I have no reason to believe that we can't hold onto this lead.

Jinxed. Reported!

[Taunton Blue Genie]

I have no reason to believe that we can't hold onto this lead.

Is that you, Cnut?

[bobh]

Anyone know why Noone came on as sub?
Hollet injured maybe?

Too quiet on here, no info anywhere else.


I only know Noone is on because SSN just reported he had an attempt blocked on the line.

Injured according to the Villa forum

[bobh]

OK, ta.

Were going too loose 2-1. (To - Won)

[bluethrough]

OK, ta.

Seems we should be about 4-0 up as well which is worrying

Lack of a decent striker has been our downfall for several years - even when we won promotion.

The Wales Online coverage (Chris Watham) is OK. here:

Hoilett was injured. Tried to carry on but then subbed. Doesn't appear to be too serious.

[Baloo]

Good stuff from City. Ken doing well overall but should have scored a couple.

[Goggles]

very sketchy at the moment feeling a goal against us soon..
