They've got a bizarre superiority complex about us, despite the fact that they've won less and were a yo yo club while we stayed in the top flight

Whatever gone on there, and I've had my run ins with him, but I think he's got issues so maybe best to tone down this sort of stuff.

Really bizarre set of fans, I've never liked them and yes they really do think they are something they aren't.

Many apologies to you, as you were completely right!
I, and obviously many others had missed the law change.
Sorry to prolong the agony and test your patience

Yup. I am still trying to come to terms with this new fandangled rule that you are now allowed to bring on something called "substitutes."
Had to look it up in my Encyclopedia Britannica.

I predicted 3 - 1 earlier - if I knew Godden was playing it would have been 4 as he always scores and today he was excellent - the ball in for the goal well that was just superb - I really rate Godden

Looking forward to catching up with all the posts tomorrow.
But have to say a real take home message; today proved that Wednesday was a blip and the performance today is our actual level. We’ve made so much progress, it’s impressive.

Very happy with the result - Fulham were ripped apart in the second half - 3 more points to get certain safety and then after that who knows - is it me or do I think I am watching a team capable of promotion ? I hate saying these things but at the moment I would be happy with 45 points

My bro,who's a bluenose,bizarrely reckons that attendances at home are decent only due to people jumping on the bandwagon & snaffling up free tickets handed out by some places & that City are a 'credit to the rugby stadium' they're back in - he's even said in the past that City fans on the whole didn't wanna go back to the Ricoh/CBS because 'at least St Andrews is a 'proper' footy ground'
He actually lives in Coventry too so if anybody's interested,his address is................
(oh & no slagging off Brum itself please...I'm a local born & bred - but with my heart firmly with the Sky Blues )

Had to wait until this evening to watch the highlights on Quest. (Refuse to pay rip-off Sky!) That goal by Matseen was something else! It wasn't just a smash it and hope shot either. He really meant to place it where he wanted to! Brilliant!

What a brilliant reponse to that mid week disaster. Well played City and a big thumbs up to Ian for a cracking strike. Like a few, I've got a fresh pair of sheets on the bed and put some tape over the bubble.
Have to compliment my old fella, (who is usually a lot more positive than me). Phoned me up Friday with the same team line up and said we'd win. After the "I told you so" when the third went in I've got to learn to respect my elders.

I know Fadz was in the wrong position but I have watched it a few times and I still don't get how it isn't a foul. He basically pushed fadz until he was off balance with no control over what he was doing. His feet looked on the ground to me too so not like they are tussling while jumping. What am I missing?
In all honesty I think it had minimal impact.
It would have been a great header in the opposing box.
I'm not sure if you look Fadz hardly jumps he gets pushed on to one leg. I'm pretty sure if he goes down a foul is given or to be honest anywhere else on the pitch.

There seems to be a difference of opinion on who hit the sumptuous pass to Vik for the 4th goal - most say Sheaf. But others say Godden had a hand in three goals and as he had no role in the third that I can see, it assumes it was him who hit the pass for the 4th. Hard to see on the pc screen. Can someone clarify?
It was a gem, and not dissimilar to Kane's against Posh. Clearly something they have identified that is good for Vik.
With the possible exception of Notts County away, this has to be the best result of the Robins era. A club just down from the Prem, chock full of quality players while we are fresh from a 5-0 hammering and then go a goal down. Even before the Fulham gol it was clear that we were a match for them.

It was Godden

Yeah it was Godden but Sheaf did play an utterly ridiculous pass to Godden at one point but he wasted the cross and it lead to nothing.
EDIT: I could actually be wrong on that and it might have been in the build up to Gyokeres well saved shot, but either way it’s a shame it didn’t end up in a goal.

Yeah just been watching it, Sheaf hit a beautiful ball on the volley from the edge of our area that set Godden away, Godden cross came to nothing Sheaf was then on the edge of their area to win it back and recycle it which led to Györkeres chance for his hat-trick

Correct. But it's a Stupid rule. Every offside player shou;d now chase the ball down and touch it as close to the opposition goal line as he canJeez, how are people still not understanding this!?
It is not an offence to stand in an offside position. The offence only occurs when he plays the ball/interferes which was in our half so that is where the free-kick is taken.
3 stunning passes that stood out for me - Godden’s for Vik’s 2nd goal, the cross field pass from Maatsen to Dabo leading to Maatsen’s goal, but my favourite was Sheaf pinging it 70 yds from edge of our area to Godden - pity he couldn’t find Vik with his pass.
