    Continuing to play as we have means top 6 is possibly at risk and even so, an early exit from the play offs awaits.

    We are playing Northampton. One of the shittest teams in the league fgs. If we cant perform against these, at home, after 2 weeks rest then god help us.

    I am so looking forward to today's match. I missed the last two home matches thanks to Mr. Trump's intervention in the Middle East.
    I am hoping City welcome us back in a suitable fashion.

    Playing poorly up to the play offs doesn't mean we'll lose in the semis any more than an unbeaten run means we're nailed on for Wembley.

    Gathering enough points is first priority and if that means we have to grind out a 1 0 or 2 1 win then so be it. We can worry about a play off semi final once we're certain to be in one.

    That looks like it's probably real ale and not craft beer. Craft beer is basically real ale in cans or pumped dispense, but with added nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure added that spoils the flavour. The extra fizz takes away some of the volatile esters that develop in maturing cask ale so you lose the taste benefit. Real ale is better than craft beer. Don't fall for the marketing hype.

    That was certainly one of their weaknesses, on the day we weren't much better squandering some good chances.

    100% the 3 points are essential to keep the gap between us and the chasing pack I find it difficult some dont seem to understand that thought of mind.
    Of course I'd love to see a great performance like the Peterborough game with 2/3 or 4 goals but 3 points is the first goal.

    No worries I've been wrong before.

    Hope I am wrong,but that side doesn't look to have a lot of goals in it.

    Funny old game @Hulmebantam@Hulmebantam , a few weeks ago not many would have shared that opinion. But I bet not many would disagree now. Well done Tyreik for turning it around.

    It only needs one goal in it (as long as we don't concede obviously)

    Friday 3pm kickoffs are strange. Almost forgot you were playing



    Anyway get your Predictions in via the Prediction Portal . And remember you can update them on there until kick off

    Sad to see no J Wright again, that mid deffence is a shambles at the minute with high balls coming in the box,and not being dealt with.

    So our starting eleven doesn’t contain any strikers, but there’s three on the bench. Explain that logic.

    Can’t complain at that line up, very similar to the early season team that had so much success. Let’s put them to the sword.

    Did Tuchel bring Slabhead on to play as center forward?
