    Can someone please explain to me why City are the worst team at losing goals in the last 5 minutes of both halves?

    It has been our achilles heel for many many seasons and I would hazard a guess that we are the worst team in the Championship, if not the entire football league, on that statistic.

    Think back over the last 4 seasons since our return to the higher level and remember how many points we have given up because of our lack of concentration and discipline during the last minutes of a half. City should be disgusted with themselves for losing 3 points at Sheffield today considering the plight in which the Owls find themselves.

    No consistency or killer instinct is the order of the day and unless we find someone to change that attitude we will be writing the same scripts next season. So sad.

    How can you fall on your achilles?
    You can strain it, twist it and certainly snap it.

    I also think if someone can be bothered to look we may have the worse record in all four divisions for conceding between 46-50 mins.

    I always go for a drink at half time and have missed loads of goals at the start of the second half, it is a standing joke around where I sit.

    "I don't think you're a real Doctor"

    I'm not a real gynaecologist but I am always happy to "take a look"

    Read an interesting stat the other day that if games lasted 90 mins, Norwich would be 16th instead of 2nd!

    I can't explain your query Mike except to say it's like some sort of illness we've picked up and can't shake off. In our first season back in the Championship we were doing it quite a lot to other teams and now the worm seems to have turned.
