Birmingham is a free hit in my.book. We're not expected to win and losing is not the end of the season...so if we get anything it would be great.

@Kim_il_Swan I can still hear his voice in my head as I read those lines. I imagine the next words being: “…and now, The Fall.”

No need to apologise, just think Guardiola deserves more respect for his fantastic achievements with 3 different clubs. I have the same debate with my son (usually over a few beers!) who says any manager would have been that successful with the money and players Guardiola has at his disposal, but you still have to win more games than all your opponents and he’s done that consistently wherever he’s been.

Ah I apologise @Kim_il_Swan i clearly got the wrong end of the stick.

Looks like we’re taking a smidgen under 2000. According to Ryan Issac on twitter, Birmingham never actually gave us an official number so care was taken in how many were sold to not ‘over sell’.

Got my ticket and wishing my life away ready for ‘When Saturday Comes’

Do we think this is RC or is he on standby to sue whoever else it is?

It's all fine margins, isn't it? If we'd squeaked a 1-0 against both Northampton and Wigan (which on both occasions we were good value for), we'd currently be 7 points clear of 3rd place and laughing. It's a funny old game.

Easy there chief. That was no slight on you, just riffing on a classic John Peel line.

Reading matchday threads when we don't win is always depressing.

I was at the game on Saturday, and quite enjoyed it, apart from the lack of clinical finishing, which should have resulted in at least one goal.

But our defence now looks rock solid, and we are a difficult team to score against. Whichever front 3 are selected for the Birmingham game really need to be on it, and if they are we stand a real chance of grabbing all three points, which would be a massive statement.

Funny you should mention the inventive corners. I remember in the first half against Wigan, Simons took a quick corner and picked out Cam on the edge of the box with HUGE space but the referee stopped it with the usual scuffles going on with the opposition trying to climb all over our two CB’s
