    I think when Revell got the job Stevenage were in the bottom two places yet charged up the table and finished above us with little outlay in players coming in.

    A few weeks ago you would have got a decent price for them to finish in the top seven and get promoted.

    Plenty of time for it to go wrong so not sure about betting on them to go up but not enough time to go wrong before our fixture hence tough game

    Hopefully they attack us as their form merits could be a great game to watch let's hope so

    He runs around alot for gawds sake, some people are so demanding,
    He is currently more Bowen than Lingard but that can change this season.

    Nah, they won't want to go up! They'll have to pay back the debenture holders that stumped up for the new stand!!

    He was very good but had to do too much defending in the second half easily our best player

    So how does he get match fit? We don’t have a reserve set up and we are playing two games a week.

    How?

    Give him minutes off the bench, its called easing him back in. Starting him in a league game is a big ask considering he hasn't played for 3/4 weeks.

    Yes I understand that but not a solution. If circumstances meant in a match that a forward had to come off and say a full back, Songo’o might not even get a game off the bench because you need to keep a keeper available. So back to square one?

    Not met one. Only the expats who support the lower league teams. The locals all support the big six with some random Newcastle or Spurs fans chucked in

    At least there was no Leeds fans. I might have a look into emigrating!

    Steady on! It was Fleetwood. Then Accrington. Then Morecambe. The times they a-change, and the clubs we used to imperiously dismiss as little minnows like these have got their shit together far better than we have over the last few years.

    If Sutton is fit there is no need to rush Songo’o

    I'm with you Park. Songo'o could be huge for us throughout those winter months. Let's not rush him back and aggravate the injury. Like you, I'd play Sutton and maybe put Songo'o on the bench for Stevenage.

    You could add Wycombe, MK Dons, Wimbledon and even Forest Green Rovers. Thirty years ago three of them were not in the football league and Wimbledon had to start at the bottom of the pile.

    Its up to City to beat what is in front of them, rather than being either pompous or concerned about the opposition.

    I dont think MKD were ever in that category. They were born much bigger than most teams and have a massive sugar daddy. The rest, I agree with. That said. We are battering this lot.
