Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2024 4:08 pmFirst of all, Happy New Year one and all, if it’s not too late to say that. Apologies for the last couple of games, I was away at Christmas and then came back with this bug that is going around, and that basically wiped me out. At the start of the season I would have been nervous about going away to the Barcodes, but not now. The team is good enough to win this, even with the injuries. Hopefully we get another cameo from KDB, and a Foden masterclass.
COME ON CITY!!!

And the rest…
Actually looking forward to this now. Incredible how a win can lift a weight off your shoulders, I've been miserable all Christmas (not really). But seriously, it's obviously an immense task; but today will give us a shot in the arm and it's another week's rest and work on the training pitch. We should go into it with confidence.
We'll fucking beat em again.
If Joelinton is out they will toy with our midfield.
I think Man City are going to cruise to the title in the second half of the season. But hopefully it starts after this.
My hopes depend on who plays midfield. If we start with Longstaff-Bruno-Miley we’re getting nowt. Otherwise I fancy us to get something.
We’ll avoid the sharpest version of De Bruyne thankfully, he’ll come off the bench for sure.
They won't get out of second gear. 0-3.
Time to move on to proper teams now we've dealt with the cup minnows.
The problem we have with City is that they have one of the best squads ever built in premier league history. So that might give them a slight tactical advantage.
Haaland and stones out for tomorrow.
Not sure that makes a blind bit of difference.
