NORWICH [H] the verdict .... Hodgson "bounce" gone as Canaries run riot in 2nd half
Season 6, Ep. 55
•
DaveP is joined by Dave Tovey, Richard Angell and Tom "Robins Nest" in reviewing the second half collapse against the Canaries after a decent first half which saw City go in a goal up at the break.
There is strong discussion around the seeming lack of progress on hiring a Sporting Director with the owner subject to more lambasting!
The mood is lightened by author Neil Palmer talking about his latest book, Into the Big Time, which is out next month to mark the 50th anniversary of City being promoted to the top flight which was actually achieved this week half a century ago - April 20th to be precise.

5. MILLWALL [H] the verdict ...... Randell you numpty and Skubala has a lot to learn
01:21:45||Season 7, Ep. 5DaveP and the panel review a disappointing start to the season as City lost 2-0 at home to Millwall.The Lions were strong early on but City fought their way back into the game until Randell's foolish challenge earned him a second yellow card and after that there was only going to be one winner.Both goals conceded were soft and there appears little understanding between Dickie and goalkeeper Tickle who makes no attempts to dominate his 6 yard area and take crosses.Skubala has played in a particular formation most of pre-season but threw all that out of the window for this game and why he elected to wait until half time before making the logical substitution which would have made 10 man City more solid only he will know.More of this and it could be a long hard season.
4. 26/27 Season Preview ..... what lies ahead?
01:33:54||Season 7, Ep. 4DaveP debates all the topics currently on the minds of City fans with the new season opener against Millwall just around the corner.Dave Tovey, Ellie Jones, Paul Binning plus former player Chris Honor have plenty to say and that includes a tribute to "one of our own" Joe Bryan who announced his retirement this week aged just 32
3. WALSALL [H] the verdict ..... out of the cup and leaving more questions than answers!
54:34||Season 7, Ep. 3Despite 33 shots on goal City found themselves dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League 2 Walsall.Tickle had kept the scores level at half time with his quadruple save sequence but Tanner and Dickie were caught knapping just after the restart as Pressley scored he only goal of the game.DaveP debates the action and more with DaveFevs, Tom (Robins Nest) and Adam Taylor
2. PLYMOUTH & EXETER (A) ..... a good workout for the squad
01:20:17||Season 7, Ep. 2Beating Newcastle probably didn't help as expectations were raised going into these two games, Whilst City didn't lose either they didn't exactly impose themselves on the lower league opposition.he Plymouth line up was the stronger side and by our reckoning no more than three of those who started the game at Exeter are likely to make it to the 11 selected for Millwall in the opening league fixture.DaveP debates the action and more with Dave Tovey, Ant Banks & Paul Hunt
1. NEWCASTLE (H) the verdict .... Magpies downed by rampant Robins
01:26:39||Season 7, Ep. 1We've all been around long enough not to get too carried away by a 4-1 pre-season friendly win against Premier League side Newcastle United but there was much to admire about City as they raced to a 3 goal lead inside 50 minutes.Newcastle fans numbered 3400 in an incredible match attendance (21500) for a friendly with all in the ground standing for a minutes applause to celebrate the life of Kevin Keegan who recently passed away.Eddie Howe resigned as Newcastle's manager less than 24 hours after the final whistle and even allowing for his team's training schedule being behind City they did not sparkle at all.Dave Tovey hosts the match review with Richard Angell, Adam Taylor & David Pottier
