Hey ho, and hey ho again! This is a match that could well be called off because of the predicted bad weath er....Masky is allso hoping for snow! Lowly Fulham are at home against high flying Cardiff, however I sense a defeat in this one somehow! McCarthy has two games to save his job, most on here might have thought he would’ve been gone by now, but maybe the hierarchy are seeing something that we poor fans are not privy to! We could do with playing lowly Swansea in this one, or even .Luton....but best we get rid of this dross this week and bring back Russell Slade! Good luck with it pals....hold your chins up Clingy! 2-1 Fulham! Fug off, I’m ‘aving a cockney laugh....3-1 City!
Hilts has made some interesting observations on the Prediction thread regarding some of the U23 regulars left out of their win today. As Hilts suggests, it might be that some youngsters might get the chance to join the first quad for tomorrow. If that is the case, I hope it isn't the first step to them being dragged down. Would hate to see all that they have learned being undone. If they do come in, then the style needs to change too.
Yeah should and meant really to put it on this one. I just hope they some get some action. They are all attacking players. Wont do them any good in a side with 5 cbs. Saying that with our current manager I feel sorry for them. Normally id be looking forward to some youngsters and a more positive and attacking formation. But ive never wanted a manager out more. The most important thing in my opinion is the removal of Mick and TC. Anyway lets hope the young ones in addition Harris and Colwill do well. Mick Out!!!!
I don't expect to see them starting Clingo, with the exception of Bowen and possibly the winger - I can never remember if that is Davies or Evans. I really can't see McCarthy pandering to our supporters and making wholesale changes to tactics and personnel. Although if he did make major changes and it went nipples skywards again would he then turn around and say he knew that wouldn't work. Like you I fear for the young lads if they're thrown in the deep end and we get the envisaged stuffing. It could kill their confidence before they start properly on their careers.
Kieran Evans is the AM / winger. Isaak Davies the striker. I fully expect to see James Collins start up front on his own.
Without 6 regulars as well though it looks as though Bowen is now with the 1st team. Patten and D Almeida also were missing It will be interesting to see tonights selection. Under 23s top the league with a game in hand I believe.

Nice to see some humility in an article like this. As much as I understand their worries (how many times have we said similar things about City slipping up when playing "easy" games?) I do believe this article gives us a little too much respect. Our defensive fight and stability are shot right now. Reading about the likes of Wilson being used as a decoy runner just makes me even more fearful of a hammering TBH.
If we get a drubbing tonight (very likely) and any two out of Hull, Peterborough (who are playing each other) or Barnsley get a win, we're in the bottom 3. Just thought I'd make your day.
No - it might spoil the odds......... City have gone out to 13/2 to win and I just can't ignore that. £20 on to return £150 (or nothing ) Just looking down the scorers list. Kieffer is 12th in line with 11 - yes 11 Fulham guys ahead of him to score. List below.......... please log in to view this image
If their keeper is on the list then it's a real beam me up Scotty moment, marooned, paddle less up sh1te creek.
The team: Smithies Ng McGuiness Flint Bagan Pack Vaulks Bowen Giles Colwill Moore A better balance, more compeitive in midfield and full backs who are full backs.
