One For The Road

Has Bruce ever lost a second City derby? He had a fantastic record against us when he was their manager. Went 6 games unbeaten against us I think. Not sure if he was still there when we started beating them.

We have good home form and looking at the next few fixtures we could really kick on from here. For me the Blues game is a 'must not lose rather than a 'must win' as confidence will play a big part in where we end up. 2 points from the next 2 followed by a few home wins would keep us on track.

Never thought we would win that but we did. Who needs to play well anyway when you can win games on tap? Well done lads, great response and sets us up nicely for the big one. (At Preston)

Off to Oz for a couple of months over Christmas and decided it's about time I finally checked out New Zealand. I'll probably only have about 2 weeks so I won't be able to to take in everything but I'll give it a good go. Anyone been? Looking for some advice or tips. Planning to fly into Auckland for NYE and then head to Rotarua and then down to Wellington before making my way to the south island for some dramatic scenery. Any advice guys?

Before the Wolves game I thought we would take just 1 point from October. This is the game I think we will get it. 1-1.

Totally agree. The way we scraped past rock bottom Bolton was an indicator of that and those away stats are absolutely abysmal if true.

A weak Fulham side? I'm afraid you are mistaken.

Lots of ball recycling and one touch passing but no creativity yesterday due to him being so deep. Surely Whelan/Jedinak are better off sitting deeper with Conor further forwards as he was at Barnsley?

I don't believe there is any basis for such an appraisal. Jota looks on a totally different planet and he is just on example. Jack is miles away from being anything like a quality player.

Lol. You aren't serious about this surely?

I'm not worried about that because if this management team ever got us promoted then things would have drastically changed to how they are now. No point worrying about it.

Do people still think we have the best squad in the league I wonder?

Apparently nothing other than being pissed up idiots. Embarrassing.

Special thanks to the ***** fighting in the away end right next to us. Made a bad day even worse seeing Villa 'fans' fighting each other whilst Wolves fans watched on laughing. Brilliant day. I picked wolves to go up at the start of the season and had us to finish about 8th. I'll stick with that.

It's so early in the season to say really. We could win this and finish bottom or lose this and finish top. There are still 30+ games to go. That's why it's important we don't do anything stupid and play to our strengths. This will be a very tough game and I'd be happy to take a point if we can't find a way to win.
