Don't follow city that much myself, but like to see them do well, and I go to the odd game now and again. What I don't understand Is why SM changed an unbeaten team around?, unless there was injuries? then I understand. Most of my mates support Bradford City, some of them at the start of the season where being very un-realistic saying they are going to get automatic. However the more realistic ones thought that a push for the play-offs would be the best they would get this year out of the team.

Not following city that much myself, but i really do think that they should be fighting for a play-off spot next year. And if they recruit well then they will get this, if luck is on there side now and again. The thing about city is that they need a good unbeaten run behind them, and they look a decent team.

Peter Thorne was injured, so there had to be a little re-jig, I don't understand leaving Evans out though - certainly not for Johnson.


I think SM has come to grips more with this division as the season went on, so we have to be looking at challenging near the top this season, I agree it was unrealistic to expect too much this season, given what has gone on over the last few years, it's been a while since we lost to anyone other than teams in the top 6 and I do think the signs are encouraging, keeping up the current unbeaten run, and looking strong towards the end of the season, are essential IMO if crowd levels, and enough income to allow a challenge, are to remain strong next season.

Up the Merry Millers!

How is Bullock going for city?, my last game was Lincoln at home so im yet to see him play as of yet. At the Lincoln game there was a partnership of Evans and Nix in centre midfield, they seemed to get the ball down on the floor and pass it around and when city had the ball they looked good. A lot of League 2 teams don't do this, well the games I have been too they haven't. But that isn't that many. Anyway Nix looked really good in centre midfield driving the team forward at times, but him and Evans did seem a bit light weight and were loosing the battle in the middle of the park sometimes.

How is Nix doing now?, has he had much game time?.

Peteborough 1 v 0 Rotherham

Good win for City tonight. We look a much more confident side. Billy Topp is way way too good to be playing in this division, and it's unlikely that he will be next season.

Indeed. See how he fares in League One with us

But seriously, the guy looks a class above anyone I've seen. A likeness to a lower league Carbone!

Never mind next season, if there were any scouts there last night I'm more worried about the transfer window still being open and him being with us on Saturday!


Bullock has been a good signing for me, he doesn't do anything spectacular, but he's an effective physical presence in the midfield, and does a lot of good in breaking up play and winning the ball.

Nix has been a good signing too, I think that's 7 goals this season after last night - he's a good, intelligent, footballer but sometimes struggles in this division because it is very physical at times and he's not really strong enough to play in the centre of midfield, while he doesn't have the pace to be an out and out winger, so I can see why he is left out fairly regularly.

That's us now unbeaten in 7, and only 3 defeats in the league since mid-October, hope we can keep it up.

It occured to me a couple of weeks back that he might be holding him back until the end of the transfer window. With rumours of some interest from West Brom, there might be some truth in that.

I'm still more inclined to think that if they had the chance to rake some money in, they'd do all they could to ensure it happened!

A couple more months like that though and his value will shoot up!

True enough, in typical City tradition we'll probably manage to get at least 20k for him!

Then again if we emulate the 1969 team and go 21 games unbeaten from December to the end of the season to go from mid-table to promotion we might be able to hold onto him!
