We’ve been well beaten by Leeds and Sheffield United, both teams looked much stronger than us. It will be interesting to see how we do against Burnley. One of the differences last night was the aggression shown by their forwards against the passivity of ours. Wright was anonymous and I think he...

Thanks, much appreciated!

On a different matter, when will we know for certain the kick off time for Luton away, as regards the potential for tv coverage? I’m looking to book a hotel (we live near Newcastle and are travelling home from a holiday in Cornwall), and would be grateful for any info.

Did you think so? I didn’t think they time wasted particularly, and I’ve seen damn worse shithousing. The game seemed to be played in a good spirit until EMC and Dunne got a bit silly. I. In answer to your first sentence, I suspect the neutral would say that neither team deserved to lose...

Haven’t seen any of ‘Robins v Lampard shite’. Just some discussion on how and why we’ve improved. And I’m really enjoying my Saturday night!!!

To be fair I didn’t think that we had a good enough squad to make the play offs, and it is still early days. But we are now 3 points off, and I couldn’t be happier. Again, it’s early days for FL , but I don’t think that this squad of players would have achieved 4 in a row with MR, love what he...

Yep, that was a low point.

It’s a cliché, but perhaps Cov and Robins were the perfect fit for each other, and Robins/Viveash were the perfect team, along with Lawrence. And working under the constraints of managing City suited his stubborn, dogged personality. A backs against the wall, siege mentality. Very few people...

I’m a big MR fan and was devastated when he was sacked. But looking at it dispassinnately now, I think Robins would have struggled to turn things round. Too much seems to have happened behind the scenes, and it was looking tough for him.

Is he the chap who was doing his biscuit at Norwich?

Off to Sunderland now?

I thought Rudoni was very good last night. I was in the Riverside stand behind him as he played along the left touchline. He looked so confident on receiving the ball, and was a constant danger. Didn’t quite find the right final ball when reaching the touchline, but I thought he looked a class...

On the basis that they’re going to give it to a home player, I think he was their best on the night. He was a bit of a handful, particularly in the air (he won most duals in the air, and set up some dangerous monents). He was no slouch on the ground either. I thought he was decent.

I thought the ref last night was very generous to us. Blackburn fans around me were going mad. I think we did as fair bit of pulling back which on another day would have resulted in yellows. He also didn’t seem to bother in hurrying Dovin at all. So all good for us, but can see why they were...

Anybody going to the game tonight got a spare ticket, by any chance?
