    He should have tried one of Patsy's excursions. He probably would never sleep right again ...... :)

    Yeah. The mood beforehand was ‘expect the worse’. However it was a ‘gritty’ performance, with a number of determined displays. Reminded me of the Parkinson days against some of the higher performing teams.

    Felt Shrewsbury were a fairly dirty side, not seen that from them before. Their first touch was good on occasion.

    Perhaps stopped the ‘rot’, but not real progress.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Gibson playing in the no 10 role or if not then on the wing with Robinson on the other. Devine would also get a start and the young 17 year old left back that's been getting attention from prem clubs should also be given a taste of men's football. I would rather see us lose with a young squad giving its 100% effort and desire than a load of senior pro's that couldn't give a shit. I would also give Brunkner and Grodowski a start up top and leave Wyke with his best chum McMahon well away from the starting 11.

    As you get older (& hopefully richer) you will start going to away games and stop overnight. You will then have memories of nights out in strange places (Yeovil) and these memories will make you forget the game. You should also drink lots of beer as this helps also. As an added bonus you will meet Darren (ask a fan aged over 55) in these places and he will then offer you his pearls of wisdom from following City for 40 years. He will then become your friend even though you don't want to be friends.

    Alternatively you could travel with Shipley Bantams drink no (proper) beer and in 40 years time you will remember every game.

    I’m actually going to miss a home match for the first time in a while. I’m going to visit family in Scotland so it can’t be helped really. I’m sure I’ll be included in the official attendance even though I’ll be 200 miles away though ;)

    All I’m hoping for is that if younger players are given a chance, that the crowd can show patience and support towards them even if the team or individual young players struggle in the match. I wouldn’t want a toxic atmosphere to be directed at young players who haven’t been given many chances before. I just hope we can get behind these young players who could have a future with us.

    In terms of the crowd, it will likely be recorded officially as 19,000. In some other midweek matches, the reality has shown a ground which was less than half full meaning below 12,000 in attendance. I’m guessing that this match will see a significantly less than a half full stadium with possibly as little as around 9,000 in the stadium. The apathy towards the team at the moment seems to really seems to be that strong, but I hope I’m wrong!

    Cannot see there being 12000 there. I think actually supporters in attendance will be nearer to 9000

    The odds are stacked in Shrewsbury's favour to win the three points on offer but stranger things have happened.
    The seats might be empty around me and my optermism fadeing as the season draws to a close but i can't turn my back on the club I love regardless of club politics I will be there.

    I personally don't think Grayson can make that many changes. I would like him to take out a couple of the passengers i.e. Vincalot & McMahon and give Shrewsbury something to think about, be bold maybe, it can't get any worse can it?

    I hope we’re through our “Comedy of Errors”, I really didn’t enjoy City’s “Winters Tale”! Hopefully after “The Taming of the Shrew”, it’ll be a case of “All’s well that ends well”.

    I hate to say this but I literally dread every game we play at the moment. Not been a fan of city as long others as I'm only 21 but in the 10 or 11 years I've had a season ticket it's the first time I've ever felt like not going to the game. We have a team that don't seem to want to fight and off the field problems that are making for an awful atmosphere around the club.

    Just think you have 50 plus years to go !. After the fist three or four times this happens to City you will get immune to the downturns and problems that befall City and you will learn to hang on to any small glimpse of a brighter future for City

    Yeah I can't wait. All part of being a football fan I suppose. It's not always going to be good times

    Our teams nearly always come up with the unexpected, so although we are not in a good state atm, I can see us winning this one.

    We Need to follow it up with a win against Portsmouth or last night will have gone to waste . We need just a little run of positive results to lift the gloom surrounding the club .
