Are we winning? Have we won? What times kick off? Where are we playing? Does anyone know anything about this game?
 
2 60 minute games played at the home of Welsh football today between the two rival cities’ football clubs. without referees.

Both draws 0-0 and 1-1.

No details of the teams or scorers.
 
Not bizarre at all.

Makes total sense. Teams 50 miles apart. Both need match time.

Better than nothing at all, but the benefit is dubious. It'll be like being on a different planet next Sunday against Leeds.

Of course. But weve played 4 shortened friendlies. 2 v Cheltenham and 2 v the White Sox. Far better than nothing at all.

That's just what I said - far better than nothing and TBH it's difficult to see what else City could do in the circumstances.

The point I was making is that soft 80 minute unrefereed friendlies against Swansea and Cheltenham with nothing at stake are hardly a substitute for raw Championship football with everything at stake. Playing two different sides on the same day utilising nearly 30 squad players is not competitive stuff. The levelling of the playing field might be that Leeds have suffered the same restrictions.

It'll be about motivation next Sunday and I'd suggest that Leeds will be under far more pressure. Being away, a draw might well suit them and I think they'd settle for that before KO whereas we really need the win. That could make all the difference if Harris gets it right. Just got to go for it - no other option makes sense.

Everyone is in the same boat. Not sure what prep leeds will have done.
I feel that fitness, determination and squad depth will outweigh any previous form for the next 9 games.

We need at least 4 points from the next 2 games I would like the 3 pointer to come against Preston.
