    Well we move on. Games starting to come thick and fast. Morecambe at home on Tuesday evening. Rain more likely to cause issues than frost or snow!

    I don't think rain will be a problem Rod and temperatures, at least daytime, are forecast to be around 10 to 11C on Monday and Tuesday.

    Form. Despite Morecambe sitting in the play off part of the table, their away form is not that brilliant. Over the last 8 games, they have won 2, drawn 3 and lost 3 and sit 16th in the away table over that period, as opposed to City, who are 11th over the same number of matches.
    Acknowledging @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler post, the weather forecast seems to suggest light rain, which shouldn’t really cause any problems.
    At present Morecambe have a home match on Saturday which apparently is on, against Scunthorpe. So arguably they should be more tired than City!
    If we are going to pull away from the bottom end of the table, then a win is what is required and should be achievable.

    I don’t know what condition Danny Rowe is in, but I can’t help but feel if he’s fit enough to play then we have got to be favourites for this game. Would be great to see the new guys integrate into the team and make us stronger, but from what I’ve seen of Rowe, he has a winning mentality and drags the other players up with him, I’ve put a high unprecedented bet (for me) to see city finish in the top half of the table, a lot of it to do with lockdown lunacy. Winning cash or not, following city is one of the things allowing me to cling on to sanity~ wish I was exaggerating. Really want us to start smashing this league.

    Looking forward to seeing Vernam and Rowe in the same team. Both look to be excellent acquisitions so far.

    Jesus! I would have thought the biggest thing counter productive to staying sane is being a follower of Bradford City.
    Got to go - the nurse is calling me for tea. Its jelly again

    I've not heard but he was initially out with illness so I'm hoping he's fit again.

    Hope its not the same "illness" Lee Power had.

    Joking aside though, he's a big plus when fit so here's hoping.

    And that statement sums up just how far we have fallen, when we are worried about winning a home match v Morecambe.

    Crass attitude. Get real. We are a 4th div club right now.

    A win here would show we are top 7 side. Really interested to see how we come back from that Exeter loss.

    He's fine. There's a video of him eating an apple at training the other day and we all know what happens if you do that every day.

    But still true. Just a clear view on how far we have fallen. 68 league places in 20 years. Fact

    Maybe a better stat would be we have spent approx 70% of our time in the 2 lowest leagues. Fact.
    We are by and large a lower league club. These days with the fan base and stadium we could be a championship club but i doubt we would get any higher than that tbh. I would be happy bumbling along in the championship for sure. Some great local derbies and good crowds.
