[UNDERHILL1927]

2-1 City, the positivity continues

[Der Kaiser]

Same team as last night but Robinson for one of the strikers. 1-1.

[MacAdder]

Obviously hoping for a home win building on the Birmingham result but Carroll for them is a worry against our pretty suspect aerial defence.

An optimistic 2-1 The City.

[Pearcey3]

Carroll is mighty impressive in the air.
I really hope Ince doesn’t play five at the back. We are awful. When he switches to a conventional back four we are better.
Someone to watch out for is Femi Azeez who is very pacy. He has had huge injury problems but is just breaking back into the side and looking good. Tom Ince has been our stand out. Our central midfield is very ordinary.

If we score first then we will drop deep very quickly. We will not be pretty to watch. Our away form is dismal. Our home record is the third best in the League.

What’s your prediction mate?

You still coming down for the game on Saturday Pearcy?

0-0 this is not going to be a classic.

Bloody SKY again. I was in Cardiff just over a week ago at the Tramshed for Kula Shaker. A cracking gig.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

this is not going to be a classic.

I think we can agree on that!

[OurManFlint II]

I think we can agree on that!

Although we'll definitely disagree about the Kula Shaker part!!

[PhyllisStant]

Same team as last night but Robinson for one of the strikers. 1-1.

Agree - Robbo in for Etete for me.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Agree - Robbo in for Etete for me.

Yes, this please

[UNDERHILL1927]

Agree with Robinson back in, his two penalties have been abysmal but he’s our most quality player by a distance.

Saw a stat yesterday on twitter that he'd contributed to just shy of half our goals this season and joined 8 games into the season. He is pivotal to our survival.

Madness and you’re right. Passionate, a leader and capable of that bit of quality.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Waking up at 4:00am to watch this MASSIVE game.

Thinly veiled "please don't **** it up" post.

[Ninja]

On a shitty and miserable day weather-wise, let's hope Robinson starts and we get a few days of sunshine on the pitch later this evening.

Here's to hopefully another good result and turning the tide

[Former Labour leader]

Knowing City going be a big disappointment tonight.
Hopefully grab a draw.
0-0

[BLUETIT]

Only just noticed that it’s an 8.00pm KO !

Bit of a bastard for buses home

[Taunton Blue Genie]

As this game was scheduled to be tomorrow, as a Christmas present to my lady I unselfishly bought two tickets to see La Traviata in Bristol this evening. Opera is not my cup of tea but I thought I would be selfless - and now I am to forego watching the boys in blue playing poorly whilst I am subjected to listening to people holler unspeakable things in Italian. Not ideal.

By the way, the name Guiseppe Verde sounds less impressive when you think it's the equivalent of Joe Green.

[ToTaL ITK]

Reading are terrible away. would love a win

My favourite opera by a mile. We've seen it in Arena di Verona a couple of times which was breathtaking. Have a great time.
