been some tough times, some great moments too... but last week i found myself getting quite emotional, im finding it very hard to be positive, i wish so hard for the win or for at least to play well, and get let down very badly... i doubt very much that im on my own here but im a mental health sufferer and getting upbeat about anything can be a chore in itself, but asking the lads to put in a shift and score a few goals.... ? i just dont know, i dont want to get wound up only to get let down again, heart issue, arthritis and depression is not a good mix when you throw city in there too lol

a win please... will give us all a much needed boost

Look after yourself mate and pm me anytime

Not the line up I would have gone for but at least he’s trying something new. Harsh on Robinson but let’s see what happens.

That would be fantastic

Robinson hasn't had lots of service but he has been as ineffective as the others up front recently

Fourth start for Romaine Sawyers?

I don't quite understand what Sawyers has done to keep starting, but then, what other options are there?

Well it's an interesting one

The man’s lost the plot

Can’t wait to be proved wrong

He's not a bad footballing midfielder

Come on City! Turnaround starts tonight.

I went down to see Liverpool on my own in 1957, 11 at the time and a fabulous 6-1 win. Like you I’m in an emotional state due to several reasons, divorce, having to pay off my spouse and the end of a relationship. Also had between Christmas and new year a 4 hour operation and stuck in the Heath for 11 days without any visitors..when you’re on your own you can get emotional. A City win tonight would ease things and give everyone a lift. Anyway onwards and ………

Dropping Robinson is a strange one for me. Long balls galore it would seem

Pretty much what I've just said to a mate.

Wouldn't have Sawyers in but not sure who we'd pick in his place in that line up.

For me, as each game passes without a win, the more daunting each match becomes. I really expect a defeat with a couple of missed chances - I just hope I'm wrong.

Long balls maybe, but with O'Dowda and Romeo as wing backs I'm hoping for a major increase in quality crosses for the big lads!

Then if that doesn't work on to Plan B in the second half - Ojo, Robinson and Philogene, with Wickham thrown on with 10 to go.

I guess he can find a pass better than the others, which isn’t hard. I think he suits a middle 3 than the middle 2 he has been used in recently.

I think Rino or Wintle will end up pushing forward .

Hoofball returns. The passing experiment did not work but let's hope performance improves.

Needed to try something different. Hopefully this will work.

i very much appreciate that brother...:thumbup:

This Sky commentator is already annoying me. It’s the gap in between words lol.

When Sky showed the teams there was no mention of Wickham on the bench.

Just what we need, the pressure of live Tv and the view of 1000’s of empty seats…..
