This time around, I’ve set a question on each competitive game we’ve played so far this season. That makes thirty questions in all, so I think anyone attempting them should be given longer than the normal one day to answer them – I’ll put the answers up on here on Saturday.
- Why were we down to ten men when Northampton scored their winning goal in the League Cup tie back in August?
- How many players who featured in our 1-0 win over Huddersfield were making their league debuts for us?
- What Brighton club record was set in their 0-0 draw with us in August – it’s since been broken.
- Which former transfer target of ours (and I don’t mean Tom Heaton!) was in the wurzels squad for their 4-2 win over us.
- Four players made their competitive home debuts for us against Wolves in September, can you name them?
- How many minutes did Ross McCormack spend on the pitch in our 2-1 win over Leeds?
- Name the player who made his debut for MIllwall when he came on as a second half sub in their 2-0 defeat by us in September.
- Who were the City players who gave away penalties in the 3-2 defeat by Palace?
- The Blackpool team beaten 3-0 by us in September had five Scottish Internationals in the starting eleven, can you name them?
- Until Peterborough visited nearly three months later, Leroy Lita’s goal for Birmingham in their 2-1 defeat made him the sole member of a pretty exclusive club this season – can you name it?
- City have a very poor record at Ipswich, but for one member of our side that won 2-1 there in October, it was his second victory at Portman Road as a Cardiff player – who is he?
- Which member of the Forest squad which beat us 3-1 has played against us for another club this season?
- Only two members of the Watford starting eleven for their 2-1 defeat in October were in their team which drew 1-1 at Cardiff City Stadium six months earlier, name them.
- Who was Burnley’s manager for their 4-0 defeat here?
- The Bolton team which beat us 2-1 in November contained three players who have won caps for England at full international level, who are they?
- City sides have not made a habit of conceding five in a game in recent years – Charlton did it to us in November, but it’s only happened on one other occasion in the past five seasons, who were we playing at the time?
- The only instance of this happening so far this season occurred in the third minute of our 2-1 win over Hull, what am I talking about?
- Our last home win over Middlesbrough before this November was also a backs to the wall 1-0 triumph courtesy of an early goal, Matt Connolly got our decisive goal this season, but who scored on the previous occasion?
- There was one survivor in either side from the FA Cup Semi Final between the teams in 2008 when we met Barnsley in November – can you name them?
- Our substitute’s bench for the 1-1 draw at Derby included two players who have not made a league appearance between them for City yet, name them.
- Name the member of the Sheffield Wednesday side beaten here in December who signed for MK Dons on loan this week.
- There were three players on the pitch who were eligible to play for Wales when the game at Blackburn started , Craig Bellamy was one, who were the other two?
- Which member of the Peterborough side that won here last month was signed from Wrexham in the summer.
- The Cardiff and Leicester starting elevens that met last month had five survivors between them from the Play Off Semi Final encounters three years ago, can you name them?
- Mile Jedinak’s goal for Palace on Boxing Day was a one off for the season (up to now at least), why?
- It was a fourth consecutive clean sheet for the City against Millwall last month – who was the last player from the Sarf Lonson side to score against us?
- Before Joe Mason did it on New Year’s Day, who was the last City player to score a winning goal at St. Andrews?
- Macclesfield’s win over us took the number of current Conference sides to beat us in the FA Cup since I started supporting City in 1963 to three, can you name the other two?
- The last twenty odd minutes of the 0-0 draw with Ipswich saw something happen which hadn’t before this season in a City match and, off the top of my head, I can’t recall when it occurred previously in one of our matches – what am I describing?
- It happened once to us at Blackpool last Saturday to take the total for 2013 to three, but the previous instance of this occurring was on 1 January 2011 – what am I talking about (that’s not a rhetorical question!)?
