    Here are a few similarities with the 2008-09 season.

    - The first full season of new owners.

    - Lots of money spent.

    - A full team worth of signings

    - Starting the season with players out of position

    - The manager not seeming to know his strongest side after pre-season.

    - A seemingly strong defence but a toothless attack.

    - A deathly hush around the stadium as supporters don't really expect their side to score.

    - Lots of effort but little end product.

    All we need is the Forest game called off at half-time and we could have history repeating itself.

    We didnt really spend money that season. We got Stephen Clemence for 1M and DJ Campbell for 2M and the rest was free transfers

    This.

    And if Sven is sacked after 4 games then that would be a relevant similarity

    That was a joke of a season. if i'm correct I think we had just smashed watford 4-1, then allen gets the boot

    ------------------------------------------------------

    I'm disappointed but still optimistic! Another precedent...we lost a home game early to Millwall in the League One season and it was the last we lost at home all year!

    Im starting to think whether howard would be a good player
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Yeah, could have done with someone to hold the ball up at the front?

    2008-09? Wasn't that when we stormed League 1? I'd happily take that season again
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Oops...my excuse is I can't count!

    I'm still expecting Sven to sort it for Wednesday but can't help the Holloway and Sousa demons from chattering! Fingers crossed.

    Well the good news about Wednesday is that Bristol City are being spanked again today! They're obviously extremely poor.

    I must say though, this reminds me of when we went into the match against BC two years ago. We'd just been hammered 5-1 by Forest and were expected a bit of a backlash against the poor West Country boys. We lost 3-1. But we still made the play-offs that season, so no matter the result on Wed, people shouldn't get carried away just yet.

    I sent matt mills the 20,000 blues tweet, admittedly he had a mare but got every confidence in him!

    Sven get a striker and use dyer!

    -------------------------------

    I'm not an expert on Twitter, I just stalk LCFC players for transfer tips.

    But...if you read from the bottom it makes more sense and if it says '@mattmills' then it is someone saying something to MattMills.
