This is quite simply an unkind post. We never know what’s going on in other people’s lives, or why they might behave as they do. This thread should remain about County, not the personal circumstances of their followers.

For us to sell, there needs to be a buyer. There does not appear to be a queue forming to buy our centre back who everyone knows cannot pass, which is something of a weakness for an £18 million player.

The question would be: 'what kind of substitution provides evidence that Leicester does not have the strength in depth to remain in the Premier League?'

it has always been thus. Villa are way bigger than us. Sure we were miles ahead of them for a while, but nothing lasts forever. If it did frankly what would be the point? There would be no jeopardy. Man City will blow up at some point, and we will laugh. We will always have Spurs to laugh at. My first away game was at Villa in 1981, and I just loved the vastness of the place. Proper fans, and last night must have been wonderful, just as Seville was for us.

I hear you. My profession is public relations, where one of our many buzzwords is authenticity. Our comms are so plastic. So lacking in authenticity. The lack of attention to the under 21s is baffling. The lack of proper fan engagement is baffling. Look at how Liverpool or Tottenham behave towards kids with disabilities, showing them round the club, introducing them to players and management, genuinely lovely experiences, then using the content, it's proper heart warming stuff. We get pictures of Danny Simpson and Filbert in Chicago. I get we want to be a global brand blah blah blah, but their comms are terrible. It's symptomatic of an organisation that has stopped listening to its stakeholders and rejects any kind of challenge. This in turn suggests deep insecurity at the heart of the Club.

correction 34, and we have mounted a heroic rearguard to get to 27/7

Get behind the lads! Are you having a lovely day?

36 is our lowest score for the record

Well, to my earlier comment, we're doing a great job of shortening the season. This will boost the membership drive!

indeed! Perhaps there should be a much, much shorter 4 day season. Like 8 to 10 games, so they become more important events, and there is time to play them in the heart, rather than the extremes of the season. September weather is often decent to be fair, but if you cut four championship games, you could start the season in mid, rather than early April, and end it this week, rather than late September. Australia's Sheffield Shield has 10 matches, and it certainly never seems to harm the quality of their Test team.

Is the Martin Jarvis who has commented on your petition related to Sean? If so, his claim that you (and I quote) 'idiots' haven't got a clue what's going on at the club is unintentionally revealing. If people don't know what's going on, whose fault is that?

It's a perfectly legitimate tactic. I'm not necessarily sure I agree with its claim, but I'm not convinced that Mr Jarvis isn't a bit 'showy', and delivers little.

As for the sport, I know many of us allow our sport to play a huge role in our lives. The City have the power to both make and ruin my day. But we have to keep telling ourselves it really is only a game! Enjoy tomorrow.

I see you are going to the County tomorrow. Hope you have a great day. The place carries a lot of happy memories for me from my childhood, and my Dad was heavily involved for years.

very sorry to hear this, and I suspect there is little I can do to help you, other than sympathise. Forgive this question, which you might consider impertinent. But tell us, if you can, what things make you smile? What brings you joy in your life? These things may feel far away at the moment, but remembering what does make you feel good might be a starting point. I sincerely wish you all the very best. Keep on sharing if you can
