Forget The Franchise, forget Brizzle Shitty this is the real derby (well it is for me).
After the good work of beating them up here we better not ruin it by not beating the fuckers at ours.
I will get more stick if we lose this than I did for either of the last two games.
A nervy 1-0 to Town from a late OG

First game of the season I'm not really arsed about.
This is a big worry. Not aimed at you personally, but we (the fans) need to snap out of this ASAP and start acting like we're on a promotion push. The autos have gone, and I suppose it's fair enough to lick our wounds for a game or two. But then you have to get back to it...and quickly. |

I'm feeling similar to Batch and Chalkie. Not good.  Need a decent result today to get a bit of momentum back. |

To me it feels like the end of the season. That's quite dangerous if the players feel the same way. Got to get on it.
Hope they share your attitude not mine!
Yeah, that's kind of how I feel. The odd thing is, we're in a fantastic position. Had we been mid table a couple of months ago and went on a 10 game winning streak to be where we are now we'd all be absolutely buzzing. The last two games have knocked the wind out of our sails. I want to feel excited, but I just don't. |

By contrast, I haven't been to a game since February, the sun is out and I'm looking forward to seeing us edge Peterborough in close game to get a bit of belief back.

Ardiles is right. The final few games of the regular season are all about the players getting back to how we know they can play and no other team being able to touch them (certainly not outside the top two any way).
I was on the floor after the MK game because I knew that realistically our automatic promotion hopes had gone and I'd even written off our chances of winning the play offs. Consequently I watched the City game with no real expectations or nerves. As a result I found it strangely enjoyable (as much as you can enjoy a 3-0 defeat) and it reminded me that we are still a damned good team.
It's all about the momentum. We've got time to get it going again and hit the play offs running as the form team. That is what this is all about now.

I remember a game v Posh from 77, which was almost to the day....we'd been undefeated for 10 games, and had an interesting side, which liked to draw games 2-2.
Back then, at this time of year at the CG, the pitch would be devoid of grass, and then as now, we'd had a bit of dry period, so rock hard....I used to dread it, as throw in a bit of wind as there was on the day, and made difficult conditions. We were terrible got beat 4-0.
Posh had a couple of lads, Chris Turner and Jack Carmichael....who Bob Smith later signed as part of a strange job lot from...New Boston Tea Party or something like that.
Wouldn't be surprised by something like that today.

Cooper has a massive job on his hands today.....it's important that the last 2 games are not indicative of throwing in the towel, and given an erratic opponent who can win away games as well as lose, it won't be easy. A point would do... |
