It certainly doesn't get any easier when we welcome triple winners to Kenilworth Road tomorrow. Our first League meeting since 1998 when we drew 1-1 in the third tier of English football. If we.play with the spirit and determination (and some skill) that we showed against the Gunners earlier in the week we've got a chance, also City are winless in four. COYH!! City Trivia. A couple of ideas spring to mind, the famous Dennis Law Cup game when he scored all seven goals and still ended on the losing side. And the David Pleat dance of joy at Main Road after Raddy Antics goal kept us up.  |

Great that we should see the return of Lockyer and Nakamba, not so great to see the return of one Rodrigo Hernández Cascante - one of the very best but I suppose all part of the joy of seeing our players pit their skills and wits against some of the finest players around.
Let’s hope for another Close Encounter (but this time) Of The Winning Kind 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Shame that Osho is missing but good to see that Lockyer is back and Andersen on the bench.

Great determined performance from all in this terribly difficult league where any slight mistake is likely to be punished.
