Any idea what day Man. City will be played, I imagine it will be a TV game.

Not on TV, saturday 30th, 3pm kick off.

20k is a decent crowd for a midweek FA Cup replay considering our woes.

Agreed. Funny seeing the Wycombe fans on Twitter saying the ground was half empty, no atmosphere etc, what did they expect? They took 150 to Hartlepool Saturday, 4000 tonight, loyal...

I've been down there 3 times this week and not seen us lose.
What's going on??
I demand an explanation.

It's a leap year.

Did they expect us to fillet?

It's a back-handed compliment. They know we're a big club and expected a big crowd son they're a bit disappointed. Nothing wrong with that.

Wycombe probably earned more tonight than they did for their combined ST sales for the last 2 or 3 years.

Well we made very hard work of that. Wycombe worked hard and pressed well but we really should have made a more comfortable job of it. Can't be arsed to give player ratings but one player I'll pick out - Jack Grealish. When Garde came in I said Jack would have to prove his worth rather than get picked on his reputation, but he's completely lost his way. Whether it's Billy Big Bollocks mentality or loss of confidence I don't know, but he needs to get his head down and work - maybe on loan - or he'll just be another in the line of our next big hope playing lower league football.

Poor attendance and atmosphere a bit flat (Wycombe fans made plenty of noise to be fair), but on the plus side I got home quicker than it usually takes me to get from King Edward's to the M6.

I think I'd send Grealish on loan. Preferably to the biggest shithole in the Championship/Div 1 (bar the Blues, no-one deserves that) so he can see what's going to happen to his career unless he pulls his socks up.

I sea water you did there.

I would like to say I love Garde. He can be our manager forever and ever.

They were perched quite high up in the North stand.
