    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I hope not. I have not been particularly impressed when he has come up against us. Looks average at best.

    End of season award party?

    I was thinking the same (did I miss something). From the video near the end of the season, Rudoni clearly will have won Players' Player, but not sure what else. Has there even been a vote for fans player (apart from regional groups)? I have never known for it to be delayed.

    Transfer Rumour Miguel Ángel Brau

    He looks like Rudoni. Maybe it is tactical to confuse the opposition when marking. We already have Eccles and Torp who provides a 'who is that?' factor (at least from distance).

    Players who have played for us twice in their career (not loans) GO!

    Didn't Strachan re-register as a player after retiring whilst managing?

    Your personal City cult hero

    Trevor Peake should have been capped for England. Quietly went about his business. Lloyd McGrath didn't pull up any trees but was the ultimate man marker / tough tackler. For modern day, Liam Kelly is a good shout.

    Parking the bus......

    It makes a mockery of possession based teams at the moment but to have success with it you need players who can break quickly and run with the ball. Sunderland have that with Mayenda. Palace have a number of players. Plymouth with Bundu. Luton with Alli. We don't seem to have those direct...

    Scumberland or Shitefield ?

    Just goes to show, if you get into the playoffs, anything can happen.

    Ellis simms

    He was one of our quickest players at the time, surprisingly. Something we are lacking in defence (Van Erwijk the exception). Unfortunately, he seems to struggle keeping injury free.

    Next Season

    I think we have a good chance of playoffs, maybe even more depending on ins and outs. Just don't think the relegated teams are going to be so strong. How the promoted teams do with their big spending may level things up.

    Tavares to Burton Completed

    Maybe so, but he showed in cameos that he had some quality. The Preston goal was not something your average Joe Bloggs can pull off. His performance v Man Utd was great. Some players need an opportunity in the first team to truly show what they can do. My argument is just that he never had a run...

    Tavares to Burton Completed

    Good luck to him. Seemed a good character. I know many say he wasn't up to the standard but personally I don't think he was given much of a chance due to selection, injuries and formation. I think if he played through the middle alongside another striker, he would have been useful.

    Ellis Simms playoffs reason not played

    Mateta showed exactly what we want from a centre forward in terms of ability and desire. Obviously we are not going to get the level of quality but we should get the battling attitude.

    Viveash side of the story

    Bit silly announcing the release date. Gives Robins the opportunity to break in and destroy the Podcast machine!

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Dolan may still develop but I think he lacks quality, at least when I have seen him play. He runs around a lot and certainly puts in an effort but not great end product. However, surprised to hear he had 13 goal involvements.

    Ellis Simms playoffs reason not played

    With regards hunger, I think Simms has improved this under Lampard. Much more so than Wright.

    Looks like he will be here next season then

    Wright

    I don't think many people are annoyed simply because Wright didn't play well and made mistakes, rather it was his lack of effort during both legs that has caused the backlash. Van Erwijk and Kitching made crucial errors but they gave their all for the cause.

    Ex Player Watch

    I certainly think he would be very effective in league one. His ability with range of passing, crossing and control of the ball is at least a level or two above league 2. What I like is he isn't predictable and he can do things that others can't. I remember Robins commenting once about his...

    Jodi Jones oozing class for Notts County. Should be playing at a higher level.
