just imagine how much more fun we could have in L2 ?

That's a fair point . Bored shitless in the championship or entertained in Div one ??

We are 2nd in the table.
Well done City.

Take a look at those stats https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...1qt#MatchStats

youngest team in the division
best defensive record so far
unbeaten, 100% record at home.
.

Until that late mix up where the game was done kept them without a shot, that will do. I can't get over how well Lawlor dealt with Hugill, really hope we can keep hold of him and Kpakio, both look like they could be regulars at a decent level.

Lawlor did very well

turn that lorry full of 35 year old bruisers around :hehe:

I only got to listen to it on the old wireless radio machine, it sounded like Turnbull had a good game? Really pleased to get a clean sheet, Lawlor and Fish could be a long term partnership for the club?

contrast with this time last season.
oldest team in the league, 1 point and 1 goal from 3 games, worst defensive record in the league.
much bigger wage bill.

Turnbull was MOM today for me!

Definitely not a moan. Great display of controlled football. But...why did we not go for 5/6 goals...entertain the paying folk. Rotherham had given up chasing the ball...bet Robbo was itching to get on the scoresheet

that's an insane take.

we were on the wrong end of two penalty decisions and kept pressing for more goals til the very end.

unbelievable.

Looked at the stats, looked like utter domination. Glad Salech's finally on the scoresheet, Ashford is continuing to show his promise and Colwill gets another to make it 3 in 4 games. A win against Wimbledon and a result against Luton and Plymouth, and I'm really optimistic about this season, especially with signings.

Heard Mafico was horrendous. He's young, so I don't want to chew him out though. We need another LB alongside a CB and winger, maybe Mafico can go back to the U21's for a bit. But he's not looked great in his games so far sadly.

Wow, when did that happen last? It must be decades ago.

Passing it around the back continually...took the foot off the gas...
