Just got a feeling today we're going to produce and get back on the horse.

Absolutely no reason for us to go back to being prime City but, I think we'll do some damage in a few hours.

I have the same feelin, it's the hope that kills mate :(

There’s something quite refreshing about going into games now with fuck all expectations. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.

Dreading this.

Villa, and more importantly Emery, are the worst team to come up against for this team right now.

Relentless but clever in their tactics.

Villa in poor form also won only 3 and lost 6 in 12 bit better than us but still poor.

Doku has been one our main threats this season

You have just summed up the last 11 games in one sentence, well done.

5/2 villa at home hate saying it but it looks easy Xmas money at the moment

Villa or draw is just over 1/2 so shows how likely one of those outcomes is.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Yeah, but we need to add a few more to give us a cushion for the last 15 minutes cave-in and still keep our moses in front to claim the three points.

We could certainly do with ‘Moses’ up front to try and lead us to the elusive but ‘Promised Land’ of a win.

I wake up every match day and think where the hell us the next win coming from?

Issue is. Clubs are up for games against us anyway (underdog story etc etc) but they now have a sense of (warranted) belief about their play too.

Plus it’s away from home. Our team are weak mentally right now as soon as we concede but the defence isn’t good enough to keep a clean sheet.

Recipe for disaster. Hope I’m wrong.
