    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Am in disbelief about some fans see him as a 'messiah' ... I am not disputing that he is a committed player with a lot of technical ability for L2, but he is well past his best now. I suspect Kenny Jackett moved him into the middle because he was not providing as much of a threat down the...

    Matchday experience

    Sadly, I'm with you on that one... I find the experience of going to the Ricoh mind-numbing (especially waiting for a bus back to the centre afterwards by Tesco) I definitely prefer away days by a country mile.

    Losing the desire to follow

    Looking back at the thread titIe, I made a conscious decision to join a country walking group 3 years ago and to concentrate on going on walks on Saturdays rather than watch City / listen at home. Still care, always will, but not prepared to spend so much time / energy / money supporting City as...

    No More Signings

    Agree, great post. Yeovil panicked on a few occasions when the Duck just ran at them (was cynically hacked down from behind for a well deserved yellow at one point) and we saw what he can do briefly in the first game. A free role would be ideal for him and it would create space for others. Spot...

    Thoughts on today

    In a way it's good that we have the cup game to maybe experiment a little. Agree that the Duck could be an option up front if Kwame is unavailable. He is strong, but not sure how good he is in the air... Not too despondent this morning: we have got options in our squad to change things around a...

    O'Brien - 5 Grimmer - 5.5 Stokes - 6 Willis - 7 Hyam - 6.5 (bit of an unsung hero for us, we're lucky to have a half decent replacement when McDonald is out) Jones - 6 Duck - 6 (not sure about his fitness level - seems to do something useful then doesn't want to receive the ball for another 5...

    Also worth saying that our 1st half performance was not that bad at all (Yeovil only created one real chance of their own - we gifted them their 1st goal). 2nd half was poor though, we made unnecessary errors and some players lacked urgency.

    Thoughts on today

    Prefect, we agree on one key thing: McNulty's performance was worrying today - I am convinced he dived to try to win a pen. I don't think he is useless by any means, but I think his confidence is shot. So, within our current squad, I'd say Kwame Thomas should get a run out ahead of him next game...

    Thoughts on today

    Just got back to Bristol... We now have an average start to the season W2 D0 L2... so let's not go overboard with negativity, eh... O'Brien definitely at fault for 1st goal, rush of blood to the head... I like Jack Grimmer but he constantly backed off and allowed his man to turn, whcih was...

    Newport player ratings

    Reading all the score predictions before the game made me feel uneasy... though yesterday was poor (especially distribution wise), we should take heart that we still could have drawn despite playing badly (a lot of keepers would not have saved Andreu's volley). As others have suggested, we will...

    Transfer Rumour #CARLBAKERDAY

    Said it before, think Mike Petrasso would be well worth having back if Baker is not on our radar (depends on whether he has fully recovered from long term injury he picked up in pre season last year though). He could set up a lot of chances for us on the break if his pace is still there...

    Hope we sign Moorhouse tomorrow. Useful squad player to have (especially if Biamou gets injured) and will be keen to have an impact in English football.

    Forest Green next season then

    Be interesting to sample the 'all vegan' catering there (as well trying to find the ground itself, though I've done quite a few country walks in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside close by...)

    Excellent! I'll be there next season :)

    Yakubu

    Starve the Yak and he will score... Anyway, talk about shutting the stable door after the horse has already bolted... we are already down folks, even if Yak has a positive impact and avoids injury all this signing will do is delay the inevitable (and provide our glorious owners with the line...

    Ponticelli

    Don't understand the argument about 'it will dent his confidence'. Would get it if we were talking about a defender (e.g. Jack Finch was probably picked too early in his development), but not a striker. No doubt Slade will stick with Tudgay, but I'd pick Ponticelli as a sub at the very least.

    Willis gone, Exodus begins!

    Pleased he's staying. Though there was little chance of red card being rescinded, think he was a bit unfortunate in that the Northampton player had his foot over the ball more than he did (Willis sliding in made the challenge look worse than it was).

    Willis gone, Exodus begins!

    So top scorer Sordell sold, followed by next top scorer. Remember Jutkievicz was sold in Jan when we were fighting relegation from Championship too. I realise that we are already down this year (not mathematically, but realistically), but it seems that those in power are sanctioning sales which...

    Willis gone, Exodus begins!

    So our leading goal scorer now is.... Errrm, maybe someone has managed to score 3 goals? (I honestly don't know!) Anyway, good luck to Willis (if he agrees personal terms with them) - with a decent experienced partner he could develop into a half decent central defender. Showed a lot of...
