    By January, perhaps. But this thread is about 26th October, and City are currently weak. What is it you don't understand, or am I just a little bit thick, here ?

    Well we won at the weekend and could easily have won on Tuesday had we taken our chances. I just don’t think the recent performances have been too bad and certainly don’t warrant your OTT negativity. Call it what you want, thick, negative, irrational.

    Pritchard and Connolly back then we win. If not then we draw at best.

    If we are cemented in the top 3 in January, surely you can forgive a narrow defeat by our injury hit team this week. One thing is for sure, injury hit or not, we will not win every week.

    So yes, we dont get your completely over the top negative reaction to the Vale defeat.

    Has someone hacked your account this week Ronnie?

    Thing is, its such a tight division where no one really stands out. On Saturday we could have easily been left with a point, i think every game bar one, excluding draws, has had one goal in it . Even the Oldham game they were the better side the first half.
    We’re starting to play some decent stuff but with a coupke of injuries i wouldn’t say we were any better than 3/4 of this division. With the way this divison is it wouldn’t surprise me either way if we clear at the top by Christmas or sat half way in the table.

    Looking at the weather forecast for Saturday, best get your best rainwear out folks for that uncovered standing behind the goal.

    Yep looks fairly grim! Those driving would be well advised to look out Wellies to change into! Definitely hiking Gortex and/or well oiled Barbour wear!

    Ha ha ha .... WHAT have I written that is OTT, Alex ? Caution and reality, perhaps, but NOT OTT. ;)
    Irrational is perhaps better suited to you, not me ? We obviously beg to differ, so what on Earth is wrong with that ? I remain guarded, whilst you allow your boyhood enthusiasm to carry you away. :)

    And therein lies my point, Idle. City are currently injury hit, and so therefore as fans, our immediate thoughts should be that we are grateful for any points gained, and any lost are a consequence of that. I am not being negative, just pragmatic and realistic, with half our team missing. :)
    And likewise with you, as to Alex, WHAT is OTT in being cautious ? I'm not a negative person, and the Crawley game warned us what to expect - next time out, despite our chances, we failed. Macc is yet a further hurdle to leap, so YES, cautious, I remain.

    Popped down to Rawdon Meadows. this morning but only Connelly being put through his paces with a one to one I presume with the fitness coach.
    Hopefully he'll be back for Macclesfield.

    As Connelly was having a breather I asked if the rest of the squad were round the back, I think his reply was "they having a day off" but to be honest he has a very strong Irish accent.and Im a little mutt and jeff.
    He was the only one I could see.

    Regarding train travel and the Northern Rail offer if you go on National Rail website parts of the journey are not on Northern Rail trains so I don't think the offer can be taken up for this trip, can it.?

    There is an hourly Northern Rail service between Manchester Piccadilly and Macclesfield, so it can be done. Trains leave Manchester Piccadilly at 44 minutes after the hour (journey time 33 minutes), returning from Macclesfield at 18:18, 19:20 and 20 minutes after the hour thereafter.

    Bradford to Manchester Victoria.
    Hop across town to Piccadilly
    Then down to Macclesfield
    Bout 2.5 hours in total
    Or just hop in the car and be there in an hour or so like me and the lad are.
