• Luton [H] the verdict .... are you not entertained?!
    Dec 27 2024

    The first half was nothing short of a borefest but then Twine does what he does best with a pile driver into the roof of the net from 20 yards to give City an early 2nd half advantage. If Bell had shown more positional awareness his goal would have stood and given City a margin of victory their superiority over a very lacklustre Luton side.


    DaveP is joined by Dave Tovey, Tom Sutton & Paul Hunt in reviewing the match action.

  • WBA [A] the verdict ..... some people thought the season was over, it is now!!
    Dec 22 2024

    City were woeful in the pouring rain at the Hawthorns and at no time in the game did they offer anything by way of a sustained period of pressure.


    The apathy, lack of desire, call it what you will was epitomised when with 10 minutes remaining the ball broke kindly for McCrorie who embarked on a surging run only to stop and check before laying the ball sideways as nobody joined him.


    5 points from 21 games is relegation form and if this is not improved on soon we'll be looking over our shoulders and the looming spectre of relegation.


    DaveP is joined by Dave T, Mark & Neil in reviewing this disappointing start to the festive programme.

  • QPR [H] the verdict ..... Max howler costs City dear as two points dropped [again!]
    Dec 15 2024

    By & large City played some decent football but all they had to show for an hour of total dominance with a stunning free kick strike by Twine who came off the bench to score with his first touch.


    The lead lasted 5 minutes before MAX made his error of judgement and City were never in at after that as QPR grew in confidence.


    5 points from the last 6 games is a poor return for some decent football at times and if the season is not to be a sequence of dead rubber games very soon the team need to emulate something approaching Blackburn's 6 successive wins.

  • SUNDERLAND [A] the verdict ....... so near yet so far
    Dec 11 2024

    By itself a 1-1 draw away to Sunderland is a good result. Coming off the back of a dreadful performance at Portsmouth there was no faulting the effort of the lads, particularly in the second half, but to lose two points through an injury time equaliser means its just 4 points from 15 and a real challenge for the play offs now depends on stringing together at least a 3 game winning sequence - can we do this?


    Ian, Dave Tovey & Dave P debate the action and look forward to Saturday's game vs. QPR

  • PORTSMOUTH [A] the verdict .... rock bottom performance against basement club
    Dec 8 2024

    DaveP, Mark & Ian debate a poor day at the office as City went down 3-0 to basement club Pompey.


    City gave themselves a mountain to climb after the 2nd Pompey goal early in the second half which, like the first, came about through trying to play out from the back in a manner that seems to be the scourge of English football right now.


    Overall it was a heartless performance and Sunderland on Tuesday night is hardly the place to go and get a result to banish all thoughts on this debacle

  • PLYMOUTH [H] the verdict ..... City on the rampage in 2nd half against woeful Argyle
    Dec 1 2024

    Few would argue that Wayne Rooney's side would fail to make the shortlist of the poorest teams to play at Ashton Gate in the past 9-10 years.


    Scoreless at the interval City overpowered their opponents with an opener from Twine, a brace struck with aplomb by Mehmeti and a confidence building strike from much maligned Armstrong in the final minute.


    DaveP hosts Tom, Mark, Paul & Ian in a review of the action and other points of discussion with the fact surely it might have made sense to give Atkinson 20 minutes once we had a 3-goal buffer

  • WATFORD [A] the verdict ..... too Cleverley by half, good away form thwarted
    Nov 27 2024

    A very good first half where City deserved to be in front but weren't and then in an oh so typical fashion conceded what proved to be the only goal of the game early in the second half which they finished with a whimper save for Twine's long range effort which hit the woodwork.


    DaveP, Ian & Neil discuss the match action and look forward to the visit of Wayne Rooney's Argyle.
