What you think?

Absolute shithole.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Hoping we can spring a surprise. Unlikely.

 

[shmmeee]

Thought we’d get spanked by Bournemouth, think we’ll get twatted by Brentford. Not planning to enjoy the footy for another couple of games TBH. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised but very much not expecting.

West Ham looking at Benrahma, lets hope he goes before the weekend

 

[Magwitch]

We won’t get hammered.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

I fear a drubbing.

Brentford are decent. But not unbeatable. We have to start believing now. Players against Bournemouth played like my 6 aside do when a bunch of quick 18 year olds turn up. Get beat 3-0 and say we did well.

We're here on merit, let's start landing some punches (not literally Hamer)

We have had 2 weeks to pick the bones out of the Bournemouth result trust in Robins and the grey haired fella I can’t remember his name.
Timely break for us to realise the strength we are against and play to our strengths.

 

[no_loyalty]

They were 2-0 up against Preston in their last match and eventually lost 4-2, hopefully they have another off day on Saturday.

 

[Houchens Head]

We'll stuff 'em!

About where I am (although will try and enjoy it), but definitely buying a ticket to watch. Come on City!
One thing about watching the game on TV versus at the game (although I'd sooner be there) is that I think you get a better idea of how individual players are performing, and where tactics are working/not working. In real time at the game, depending on the view (alcohol consumed) I feel you can lose some of that perspective.

We have to be careful of set pieces, that Chabuddy fella can deliver a meen free kick. That Steves is slow as fuck though.

Glad Kelly is back their about to lose their best player hopefully we can spring a surprise

 

[Paxman II]

How tedious it is becoming just 4 games in and everyone assuming we are going to lose. We are a good side. Brentford have had their moments but seem a little shaky compared to last season. That's football. We play our game, liven up a bit and keep those passes from going astray too often and we will give any team plenty to think about.

Draw would be credible but I think we are due a win and can get it against Brentford.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

It depends what City team show up. Whether its the one from Bournemouth or the one from QPR

You may be right but I think that B'mouth are far better than Brentford.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

You may be right but I think that B'mouth are far better than Brentford.

Agreed. I don’t think we can really compare teams to Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich.

we more than held our own against QPR and Bristol and I expect us to be competitive in the next 3/4 games

 

[Ccfcisparks]

These sort of games are a free hit, a point or more is fantastic. Win the games against the teams around us and we will be fine.

 

[David O'Day]

1 point out the next 2 games and i'll be happy.

 

[djr8369]

Have to hope that losing players like Watkins and replacing them with Toney has weakened them a bit.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Hopefully as the Benrahma saga is still ongoing he won't start. Apparently he's come to blows with Brentford over his potential move to West Ham so I'd be surprised if he did.

That being said, they're not a one man team and have a good side. So, I expect this to be a really tough game.

A draw would be a good result here.

 

[Greggs]

We need to start performing for 90 mins

 

[clint van damme]

that was more to do with the quality of the opposition surely?

Two hard games in the space of 4 days coming up.

Yeah Bournemouth have a far better team than QPR

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

If we give Brentford the space in midfield that we gave Bournemouth and QPR in the first half, we will lose. Lets hope we're learning and give a good account. A point would be a great result.

 

[David O'Day]

Their midfield has the potential to make us look shit to be fair

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

This would have been such a cracking away day......what a fucking depressing prospect of watching online, alone.

 

[Mcbean]

They froze during the playoffs - let’s hope the sight of Oggy does the same

 

[Happy_Martian]

We have played some good football this season. We'll certainly win some games we were expected to lose on paper, draw some we should have won and get soundly battered in a couple. I can't see us getting much from this game and as the last 2 games have shown, the more aggressive the press on us, the more we forget about how to break a team down. Fearing a roflstomp by them (saying 4-1 for the record) but would accept a 1 goal defeat.

Then again, when was the last time I was right ?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Assume Kelly is back alongside Sheaf?

 

[vow]

Assume Kelly is back alongside Sheaf?

Been away so may have missed this, but is Kelly fit again?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

First things first let’s pass straight and learn when to hoof clear instead of getting tackled in our own third
