    Going to keep asking this every week until I get an answer

    :D Why would anyone think we are going to get an away win this season? That is now 10 defeats on the trot and 7 goals from 17 games. From what I saw today, we didn't look like scoring much at all ....... yet again. Is it just Sky Blue tinted glass thinking? I cannot see anything that...

    Last game of the season

    Okay, so jumping the gun a bit here, but last game of the season we have Forest v Portsmouth Don't we just wish that both of them are right down there in the mix come that final day. We also have; Southampton v City Burnley v Bristol City Derby v Peterborough Millwall v Blackpool...

    Think it is now analyse games week by week

    Looking like we may well have to get something at Leshtur to keep tabs. Can see Forest getting something at Barnsley and Doncaster getting something maybe against Brighton. Though Ipswich are almost out of it, you would want them to beat Bristol surely. Either that or a draw. In view of our away...

    Forest

    I did allude to this last week, that our defeat may have just kick started Forest's season. Anyone now think they will pull clear and it'll be one less team for us to catch? As I said at the time, our defeat was a double whammy. Real kick in the teeth for us, but just as importantly we...

    Weren't Barnsley dreadful

    They worked really hard and closed down space, but offered absolutely nothing in terms of threat whatsoever. Seems like they were playing for the draw from the first whistle. Just three shots all game, Murphy with nothing to do and no corners the entire 90 mins. Could understand it if they...

    Millwall v Middlesborough tonight

    Is anyone remotely interested? Do think if we had picked up something at Forest we would have been focusing on this game a bit more. The way we keep losing away kind of makes me think matches like this one tonight pretty much only hold just a passing interest for us.

    As our crossing was so bad abd usually is ....

    Just wondering why AT hasn't been on the look out for a winger/wide player rather than another striker? Don't get me wrong, we do need another striker, but what point do strikers serve if you don't get the ball into them in dangerous positions? Seems he has always been focused on centre...

    As there are only Thorn threads on the go at the moment ....

    Thought it only fair to start one about the players today. They all need to take a look in the mirror at themselves. Today was like a cup final and they just weren't up for it. Poor show. Don't think anyone could say they had a really good game, apart from Joe Murphy.

    Why did anyone predict anything but a City defeat?

    Not blowing my own trumpet here, but think there was a lot of misplaced optimism for this game, thinking we were going to win and not only win but there were predictions of 2 and 3 goals for us. 7 goals in 15 games (now 7 in 16) 8 straight defeats (now 9), no away win all season. I...

    For anyone who's interested, The Cedars pub in Coundon is showing the Forest game live tomorrow. I'll be there. For anyone who wants to know, I'll be the one in the City top.

    Surprised no-one has mentioned this

    But wasn't that a fantastic move on Tuesday that nearly ended up with a goal for Baker? Unfortunately he flicked it over the bar, but I have to say that is the best footballing move I have seen at the Ricoh for some time and it would surely have been one of the best City goals since who knows...

    Juke accusing Forest of dirty tricks

    Lukas Jutkiewicz accused the Reds of 'dirty tricks' in Tuesday night's game at the Riverside Middlesbrough's new signing from Coventry City was on the scoresheet in a 2-1 victory for the home side and claimed afterwards that he took 'extra satisfaction' from the win. "They tried just about...

    Fixtures to come

    Don't want to piss on anyone's chips here, but there has been a lot of talk about the games we have left against the bottom teams. Well, I think we need to remember that not only will these be hard, but that we have a fair few tough away fixtures to come too. Away games that look really...

    Fook me, yet another injury time goal!!!

    Anyone see anything but defeat tonight?

    I can't. Leeds are the most potent away team in the divison. We have a weakened defence and a keeper not in the best of form. Leeds overall have an excellent record here and last home game out we let in 3 goals. I know football is a funny game, but I think we may well get soundly beaten...

    Norwood

    Haven't herd from anyone on here or GMK that Norwood played particularly well on Saturday. Is that the case? That he didn't particularly stand out? Just that the CT today say ........ 'and while Clingan’s absence would be partially offset by loan youngster Olly Norward’s highly impressive...
