Well that’s not what I remember 😂😂😂

 

I’m more concerned now, losing to the bottom team is awful when you’re at the top. I know we miss Byers when he’s injured but my god, I think that’s the worst performance I’ve seen in years.

 

Football for you though 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

Shit happens. The only loss at home this season was Port Vale. 

 

We've got a fixture list of relegation fodder. Every single fan realises that we won't win every game. 

[Fatsam]

A huge 9,500 turned up to watch our women's team play a welsh second tier game today. I wasn't there, but it was on S4C so I got to see it after work. Won 2-1 before lifting the title trophy. Amazing it was. Goal machine Rosie Hughes richly deserved Disney plus stardom coming before the end of the year.  

 

York were a tough side to play against yesterday, but we eventually got the 3 nil win. Us and Notts County reaching the 100 league goals mark. 100 points will come, both likely to beat Crawley's 105 point record total too. It's fucking silly.

 

And I'll tell you what. That Ben Foster. He's not bad him.

[wev]

Absolutely baffled at Wrexham bringing Foster out of retirement. He's still good enough for the Championship.

 

Brings another huge social media presence too

[Fatsam]

Probably. I mean I know it was an emergency thing, but it was only a few weeks ago that Spurs tried to sign him. He did boot the ball against the back of Tunicliffe that could have trickled in as an own goal, but other than that any fears about him being a little rusty evaporated pretty quickly on Saturday and he simply looked like a keeper who should't be playing for us. 

 

Definitely the one thing Wrexham were crying out for was more cameras filming everything. I hadn't realised how successful all that was for Foster until last week. His latest matchday vlog with goalpro in the goal has 900K viewers in less than 24 hours. 

 

Notts County likely going back top tonight on goal difference against Altricham, who will be too focussed on an FA Trophy semi final at the weekend to put up much of a fight. We don't play until the weekend. We'll still have two games in hand, but I'm feeling as nervous as if we didn't. I do envy Foster just coming in and enjoying himself and I've no idea how our manager Parky stays so ridiculously calm and collected.

[wev]

Nah, it's Wrexham's to lose now 😉

[neoELITE]

Exeter 1 Barnsley 1 is good for us. Come on City. 

[deadtired]

3-1 now thank god! Hold on Exeter please. 

[neoELITE]

Well done @El Pibe

Done us a favour. 

 

We don't play this weekend as we're at Wembley on Sunday playing in that pizza thing against Bolton. 

 

Ipswich away at Derby is a fairly tough fixture although Derby are now fading but Derby are in the last play off place and Peterborough just behind them are now looking dangerous. Wednesday host Lincoln who are not always easy to beat, they draw a lot and Barnsley have Morecambe at home who will park the bus. 

[El Pibe]

We're in good form at the moment and Caldwell seems to be getting the most from Jay Stansfield now.

 

We're all but safe and so I hope we just enjoy the rest of the season and go for it in games.

[deadtired]

I know some fans want to finish top but I’ll take second all day long. We’ve got Cheltenham tonight, another potential banana skin so hoping we win and again on Saturday… be nice to have some breathing space from third. So two defeats here we come 😂

I couldn't care if we were 50 points behind 1st place, as long as we end the season in 2nd.  I utterly hate the play offs.  First time we made the play offs it was really novel but if you invest a whole season and it comes down to what could be a single game (if you get heavily beaten in the first leg of a semi-final for example), it's worse than finishing just above relegation.  

 

Winning League 1 is a tallest dwarf contest.

Didn't he limp off injured?

 

City are basically capable of being the King Makers.  Given our other fixtures are against teams on the beach and relegation fodder, we should be able to lose at Sid James and still go up automatically.  

 

We've been top or second almost all season. The pressure is really something amongst the fan base at the moment - I can't understand how someone like Pep Gaurdiola does this every single season. 

 

[El Pibe]

Hopefully nothing too serious. Doubt we'll be able to get him back next season.

He was a complete menace against us. You never know.

0-0 at half time. Owlstalk is a bit gloomy. 

[deadtired]

Losing now

A bit gloomy 😂😂😂 I can’t go on there as it’s so over the top, if we don’t go up we don’t go up. I think most the posters must be on suicide watch.

[neoELITE]

Oof. You had two games in hand on us @deadtired and got one point. Owlstalk is in utter meltdown. 

 

Pressure.

We’re missing Byers and Windass (though we’ve coped fine before), unfortunately the players that have come in have been missing in action, tactics have been off and we’ve been slightly (I mean flint scores at Barnsley to make it 3 or we don’t hit the post last night and things are very different) unlucky in places. Wilks is back now so he’ll give us pace up front at least.

 

Owlstalk is full of fools and wind up merchants, I said if we lost against Barnsley there would be a meltdown. Some of the threads don’t even make sense, one person was saying we will go up but then we’ll be in a relegation battle next year?! Ok.
 

I love Wednesday but yeah, there’s bigger things to worry about. I’m more concerned about the growing reactionaries in the imperial core than Wednesday to be honest.

That has Duncan Ferguson's 1st win in  charge at high-flying Argyle written all over it.*

 

*I can dream!

 

Close! Wednesday instead of Argyle, sadly!

Enjoy the silverware 😔

[wev]

50? ☹️

 

[neoELITE]

He was at Argyle too. Such a shame.

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Anyone know how I can watch the final without going to the pub as I don't have Sky Sports?

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Half time, 2-0 up, should be 4 or 5 in all honesty.

 

Just hoping those misses won't come back to haunt us.

[neoELITE]

If you want a definition of not turning up, that's it. Awful performance. Fair play to Bolton. They were positive and aggressive. If we had VAR, we'd have had two reds too. What a calamity.

I ended up listening to it on TalkSport2. Sounded like we could have had 7 or 8. Never nice for fans to travel so far for a shit show. We've been on the other end of it in 2011, so I know how it feels.

 

Hopefully that Cosgrove tackle on Toal hasn't done any serious damage.

It was fucking awful. A red card all day long. I wanted Cosgrove to walk for that. You don't do that to a fellow pro. It was out of order.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'll watch the highlights later. I actually really hope this doesn't completely derail your season. You're up there because you deserve it. One game shouldn't define your entire season.
