    I come here to get away from the culture wars nonsense. Shame to see it shoehorned into a thread about matchday.

    Burton lead.
    Goal had been coming. They'd had a few threatening moments.
    Stevenage half asleep.
    To say the match generally is low in quality is a massive understatement.

    Half time. Stevenage 0 Burton 1.
    Arguably, Burton could/should have had a second.

    1 change from last week with Pointon in for T. Wright who misses out on the 18 so assume he has an injury/illness, Lapslie comes in for him on the bench.

    Looks like Stevenage will win now.
    Burton with some awful errors and defending.

    I'm not surprised really that there's no Cook, with the make up of the bench at the moment the only way I don't really see a place for him. Only option would be Cook instead of Swan as everyone else is needed to cover different positions. If we had 9 on the bench then I am confident he would be on the bench.

    Just been told that the e ticket reader system at Orient is kaput and all City fans will need to go to the ticket office to have their e tickets exchanged for paper ones.

    Oh no - I thought it would be the case but we’re wearing the blue /silver kit…? I have a feeling it’s cursed! Bit of self-promotion here - break the curse City and give me a great birthday present!

    Possession won in the final 3rd is huge. Probably the most under rated stat in attacking play. I'd rate it above assists tbh.
