    1st legs are usually pretty cagey affairs mind. Neither team wants to give anything away and keep themselves in the game for 2nd leg. The format doesn't exactly encourage expansive football. I expect our game will follow the same pattern.

    Ah, apologies to the poster if so.

    I'm blaming the nerves.

    Must admit i have zero nerves for this one so far, dont have any fear really as long as we dont get pumped. If it's tight or maybe they are 1 goal up come the end, I have all the faith in the world that we can turn it around at VP.

    More worried that the wife is picking the takeaway tonight and my curry plan, for a lovely lamb madras whilst watching the game has been shot down.

    What kit will City be wearing tonight?

    Our home kit = yay!
    Our blue away kit = okish
    Our turd choice kit = tempting fate here

    * Just seen the brentford keeper in his fetching pink number, a little bit loud and naff

    Home kit trim on all the social media posts, so it will be that one. They always post the media pics with a kit trim that we will be playing in for the mentioned match

    Perhaps they'd have been happier if their team had tried to score during the previous 92 minutes. It was an awful match.

    I'd get Baldwin to put it there but it'd end up on my leg.

    Worryingly still no Bobby. I thought he was closer to a return than Tyreik

    No disrespect to Bobby but I don't see him as someone who can affect games when we need a boost off the bench. He's good at home when we need to be on the front foot. Tyreik is just the sort of player who can rescue us if things aren't going our way. It's a huge boost.

    No Kenny or Dempsey for them. Dalby on the bench. Encouraging.
