    Thinking back to the Parky days, every single player seemed to have a song.

    Is Andy the only player who gets their own song now? We sometimes mumble something about Harry Lewis, but this is a bit of a poor showing isn't it?

    Stockport had a few decent sounding ones last night. Reminded me of how our kop used to sound.

    Speaking of noise, you could hear a pin drop in the away end last night. A few years that end would have been bouncing, but it's like all the fun has been sucked out of us

    We said that too, but to be fair it is a totally open stand so any noise generated simply dissipates to nothing

    It's a bit like the chicken or the egg situation - which comes first, the performance that merits the song being created, or the song being created to encourage the performance?

    I think most of the songs for Parky's team coincided with a quality cup run, and beating Premier League teams, etc.

    Unfortunately we're not a cup team given we seem to play the same tactics as the rest of the EFL & PFL. Under Parky, we were doing something a bit different with the direct balls and physical 4-4-2.

    Even so, there's almost no attempt to get to know the players, which is kind of indicative of how City fans are used to the revolving door of players and managers.

    Why get used to singing their names when someone like ROD ends up being the longest serving player?

    A sad indictment of the Rahic & Sparks eras :(

    I agree, to say we completely sold out the away end with such close proximity to the pitch, our away support last night was nothing short of embarrassing. The commentators on iFollow were constantly saying they've not heard a peep out of our fans, apart from the "ClapClap ClapClapClap ClapClapClapClap City" before a set piece.

    Compare that to the away end at Mansfield on that Tuesday night a few months ago.

    Weird, doubt a roof is the difference maker between such stark contrasts.

    When Stockport were at our place they never shut up for 90 minutes and completely outsung us. Our numerical support is the best in the league bar none, but our vocal support has been awful all season (apart from Mansfield IMO).

    I've heard songs for Smallwood, Walker and Pereira over the course of the season. There's the Platt & Crichlow one too.

    You can’t sing anything these days, for fear of it bring regarded as out of order.

    Leeds fans Willy Gnonto chant is considered racist, as it made reference to his appendage!

    if only we had a striker who used to work at the coop or a magic CM

    Here’s a chant we could try.

    to the tune of Mr McMahon’s No Chance in Hell…..

    “NO SHOTS…….NO SHOTS ON GOAL, WE’VE HAD, NO SHOTS”

    We only need 5 goals in our 2 games in hand to have scored as many as Leyton Orient.
