Match Thread Carabao Cup 2nd round Away v Stoke City Tuesday 26th August @ 19.45

Random question. Why does Walker have ‘S.Walker’ on his shirt instead of just his surname? I understand when we had Jamie Walker but there’s no need now?

Edit: Also, Tyreik just has ‘Wright’.

 

We also need to learn from that. Whilst we didn’t sit back as such, we stopped the high press on Saturday which cost us two points.
That’s being picky, but something we can improve on in future

 

He still played brilliantly last night despite having a block of some kind. In his interview he says it will come but enjoying his football and the team football.

 

First half last night Tyreik seemed totally lacking in confidence and his body language was poor - he didn't seem to make eye contact with anyone. But as the match progressed he seemed to come out of his shell a bit. Probably his best performance since his return. As for Halliday - he's set down a real challenge for Neufville

 

The “S” stands for “super”

 

Think we can tell which Wright is which

 

Walker has every right to have a S on his shirt.

 

It's 45% after costs including VAT, floodlighting, staff costs, away travel costs (up to £2,400), police etc so we probably won't make a make a lot. During the 12/13 season I can remember it was said that we didn't make a profit on the cup run until Arsenal due to the costs of the early rounds.

 

Exceptional performance last night - intensity, high energy and clinical finishing. Great to see ginger Cafu back on form.

Please be kind and give us a trip to Old Trafford next round.

 

I was thinking Robbie Blake..!!

 

Just a word on Powell. I know shouldn't really form an opinion from the short time he was on the pitch. But here goes anyway . He showed some great touches, he's obviously a quality player, but didn't look like one for the high energy press.

 

Record attendance for a City match.......?

 

Halliday had a great game last night but we need to remember that they are different players technically. Neufville is a fast speedy defender and Halliday is more old school.
That shows why Alexandra brought him to the club, as a different option to play depending on the situation, nothing to do with ability

 

Football results in a newspaper - I’m in a timewarp looking at that.

 

yahoo, we're in the money
