Call it “tickets sold” then if that’s the criteria. Attendance is defined as “the number of people present at a particular place or event”. Counting people who weren’t there isn’t this, so it’s not an attendance figure.

Have we been linked with Dong in previous years? Name rings a bell

He was recommending we have a much needed re-structuring of the club shortly before he left. I doubt the pace and lack of change in the 18 months since would impress him.

It reminds me of those Covid lockdown games, you can hear the players and coaches shouting, the occasional fluttering pigeon, a rustling paper bag caught on a microphone……..

Bright, alert and very mobile. May stay in if Vestergaard’s not back in time for Birmingham, beyond that I’d have him as one of the full backs from now on regardless, the Southampton Cup game should be a chance for a full 90 minutes, I’d be braver than that though and integrate him fully over those who have let us down time and time again. His performance and Nelson getting further experience under his belt were the only glimmers of positivity from yet another s**t show yesterday.

Virgil Van Dyke, as well as getting the quality CB he would lead and organise the back 4 and the 2 in front of him, giving us the chance of clean sheets .

I heard he’d burnt his head on a lightbulb

Look, this Aribo dude has made no mistakes for us this season, elevating him to current player of the year.

The human embodiment of a fart in a lift.

Aribo is not one I’d chews, even if he does have a sweet right foot according to juicy gossip, it sucks.

You know that false clapping (all teeth and smiles and hands missing each other) that the Coronation Street mob do when Eastenders win the soap awards…….

We may have a new angle on management today but still no leaders out on the pitch. Winks may have some big game experience but if part of leadership is about setting standards he’s from from being one. Concede a goal and we crumble, like Oxford, Charlton will be smelling blood, we’re vulnerable and there for the taking. The hope is that there will be some kind of new manager bounce, players weren’t putting 100, sorry 10% in for Marti, also they looked stifled or frustrated and confused by his “system” and weren’t supported by any intuitive substitutions to change games or swing or maintain momentum. Could be a pivotal day for the season and future or a continuation of the horror show - I can’t see where the required fitness and leadership can come from in six days

Is he still there? Nathan Jones you’ve gone on too long Nathan Jones you’ve gone on too long

I know the thread was supposed too be trades within their names but went in two directions, whilst we’re on the other trade topic in the early 90’s I used to get my haircut at a little hairdressers salon on Narborough Road. It was run by a dad, son and daughter, all nice people and I’d always talk to them about City. One day the son said “Dad used to play for them”. I never asked their name but in recent years it bugged me, I nearly asked Birch as he might know. Any ideas who this may have been? May have been a reserve or youth, may have been a legend, nice guy regardless.

Points? Points? What are these strange things you speak of ?

As we’re promoting from within, this loyal guy is currently 3rd in charge at the moment, responsible for set pieces, defensive shape drills and half time motivational speaking. Also keeping cats and pigeons off the pitch.

Along with Tielemans performance I could never forgive him after Fulham away in the first relegation season. Mate, if you want to just watch the game buy a ticket like everyone else. Just gave up, the pair of them, no interest in tracking or chasing, should never have played for the club again S**t, he’s gone and he’s still making me angry!

But that run, away to Ipswich where he was like a footballing Jonah Lomu Worth every penny of his four year deal on it’s own.

If the Soumare talks are moving slowly that would be very very appropriate

Vestergaard - security at an undergarment factory

Dean Sturridge was better than brother Simon (Birmingham City) but not as good as nephew Daniel.
