Two Things I Regret From The Weekend
Well, having had a while to reflect on the weekend, there are two things that given another chance I would probably do differently:
Number 1: Bothering to turn up for the Wigan match.
I don't think I can add that much to the volumes of criticism that's already been expressed by the papers, websites and City fans, but by the interval I was really beginning to lose the will to live.
It just so happened that for this game we took my 12 year old lad's school and junior football team-mate who is a Wiganer. Like a lot of kids, he was able to make the most cutting of observations and ask the simplest of questions that us adults struggle to answer, including:
- Why don't City ever pass the ball forwards ?
- How come the City players look like they don't know what they're doing ?
Number 2: Missing the 1st MCFC Supporters Trust meeting.
Sadly parental duties at junior football meant I couldn't make it in time. Based on Saturday's ( and most previous games of the season ) performance, if ever there was a time for fans to be able to exert some sort of influence over the club it is now.
I've not seen any updates and outcomes from yesterday's meeting, but let's hope the new supporters trust develops into an organisation that can make a difference.
At the moment it's hard to see where the next goal, let alone win is coming from, but it would just be typical of City if we managed to scrape past Blackburn on Sunday and get to the semi-final of the Cup and then beat Chelsea in our next home league game on the following Wednesday...... or maybe we'll just get totally stuffed in both games.
Thank goodness for Watford, West Ham and Charlton otherwise it really would be brown-trouser time!
