I was at the game on Saturday and have rarely seen such a poor performance in over 40 year being a City supporter. I could never boo the team off though. The last 4 evenings I have been watching ITV4 about the Barmy Army on tour in Australia following England throughout the Test matches. No matter how bad England played the BA were always completely behind the team. At one point the BA decided that England neede a wicket and raised their vocal support and singing to a point where a wicket was won. Perhaps we should learn something from that and get behind the team no matter how bad they are playing.

I have to say I was surprised to see Ashdown in the team so quickly. Gallagher must be gutted. He has played reasonably well but didn''t seem to control the defence and his area to well, whereas Ashdown stood for no nonsense. I thought Ashdown played a good game against a fairly poor attack, but his kicking with back passes was fairly suspect, especially in the second half.

While I am not sorry to see Worthy go, I think his standing as an honourable person should not be dismissed. The pin he wore on his jacket lapel today was issued by the Police Memorial Trust who held a Memorial Service in Belfast today for British police officers who have died on duty. I understand that Worthington has relatives who served in the RUC. Worthington took City to the top and should be remembered for that. We have not performed well since promotion. Perhaps the Board should not have let the situation go on so long. He lost his way after we went into the Premiership.  Some of his buys were good, others not so. I have a couple of friends who support Reading and they were overjoyed to get £500.000 for Hughes when they thought they would not be able to give him away. Jarrett? Well enough said. But we have bought in some excellent players. Good luck Nigel, you will be fondly remembered in East Angila for the good time you brought us.
