Today is the day we are rewarded for our much improved football and the goals come. No reason why I believe it all clicks today other than optimism.

2-0, Hiwula, Thomas.

Ticket office at the Ricoh is open now or you can pay at turnstiles 30-33 from 1:30pm. Better get there early before it sells out!

Ha! He can fend for himself if we suddenly get a 18k walk up!

Nice warm day for January as well!

Blackpool are a side who frustrate us so going 1-1.

Likely to hear the usual groans as we work side to side to create a opening. First goal is key for us today as is staying switched on at set pieces and 2nd phases of them

Another draw. Chaplin scores in an otherwise anonymous performance by him. Westbrooke to show there will be life after Bayliss. Davies plays an absolute stormer.

 

[Nick]

Sterling and Westbooke in for Bayliss and Grimmer.

Bakayoko on the bench as is Brown!

Good to see Bak back and brown on the bench.

Should see some decent set plays this afternoon then.

Bit surprised at Westbrooke in for Bayliss.

Bayliss has been playing with a heel injury which flared up in the second half at Plymouth.

 

[chiefdave]

From the pics appearing on twitter the pitch looks even worse than the last game. Dread to think the state it will be in if we get a few days of bad weather.

 

[Otis]

Yeah, Bayliss not even been training.

It IS worse. Spot the grass.

Worryingly, one patch is half a yard out of one goal. Keeper could easily lose their footing.

That makes more sense, thought he'd been dropped to the bench but he's out the squad completely.

As long as it's not ours!

I had best remove the bag of coke and 2 bombs under mine.

Must be expecting things to warm up the closer we get to the end of the season and no deal sorted

Wouldn't need a hat if it was warm

Sorry Otis

Drop it all in the queue mate

Think that was actually me getting searched at Wembley. Security camera leak.

Polish beer in the sunshine is to blame

Brown not on the bench according to City website.

Brown not on the bench according to City website.

Oh, it said earlier he was

Who's on the bench?

Last minute sale to Rotherham. Pass it on

 

[Great_Expectations]

Can you pay on card when paying on the gate?

 

[Nick]

I think Willis has replaced him on the bench, can't remember him on there

 

[Nick]

Only in the ticket office, cash only at the turnstile

Brown is currently on the pitch, Willis isn't.

 

[Nick]

Brown is currently on the pitch, Willis isn't.

The site must be wrong then

 

[Nick]

The away end outside is quiet. Obviously no 2p machines or decent pubs

 

[Nick]

Loads of confiscated stuff outside

 

[letsallsingtogether]

The site must be wrong then

Not many in the home end at present ether mind you I am early for a change

 

[fernandopartridge]

Loads of confiscated stuff outside

Wasps are that skint the lot of it will be on eBay tomorrow

 

[chiefdave]

Seems very quiet. The stewarding is a bit full on today, obviously that meeting didn’t do much.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

What’s with the stewards today? Expecting a pitch invasion? Ha.
