Most important game is City winning at Barrow !
Afram City
That goes without saying. So I didn't say it.

Hmm, yes, opposition teams seem to be targeting him more than ever and refs are looking for fouls by him, though he can be his own worst enemy sometimes with his prominent elbows. Barrow can be expected to have done their homework.

A less experienced / aware ref than Johnson yesterday might have sanctioned both him and their RB Knoyle, who was clearly tasked with niggling him, more severely.

Maybe Matt and the team need to both protect him better and ask him not to react so obviously.
I think Bowman was enjoying himself verbally rather than physically by sledging their defender with a few choice words after our third and fourth goals went in ! ;)

Watching the Cambridge highlights again Bowman moved more in those 2 minutes than he has in the last 4 games previous. Let’s hope he’s up for it and firing against Barrow...when he’s on song he’s a handful at this level for any defence.

After 50+ years supporting city I have no expectations, only hopes. It's easier that way. I hope we beat Barrow.

With a submarine on their crest it sounds like they may dive a lot.

Holker Street has a bigger pitch than SJP, tho not as big as the Abbey, should suit us just fine.

With Harry Lee away on trial I'm not sure who'll be back up keeper? Arthur or is Maxted fit enough?

We need six points from tomorrow night and then on Saturday going into Forest Green away which is looking a huge six pointer at the moment.

Yes we do, there are teams less than an arms reach behind us, draws will only see us drop down the table at the moment.
