No, it was massively superior to the Crewe performance! In that we were wide open at the back, naive without the ball, and wide open to the counter attack that Crewe had set up to play. We lacked cohesion and a gameplan, it was a thousand miles an hour harem-scarem stuff. Today we controlled...

He was labelled as senile sounding and out of touch. And is Sillett and Linnell a valid comparison? Not really a City legend, is he?

I've made that point above! He quietly re-alligned himself after his fave had been sacked, now he basically argues their point. He's absolutely atrocious at his job.

I could bang on and on all night but you aren't going to agree with me, so I'll just let it go, OK? ;)

No, it wasn't either of them. Might not have been a G....was a real work horse, not that well known, definitely Spanish.

Cheer up, Stu, we won! It was the best performance of the season for me, especially first half. It was the first time I've seen a cohesive tactical vision intelligently put into practice. It was also gutsy and hard working. And sorry, but a more attacking player in that role behind Ball wouldn't...

Why thank you; and might I add that yours was a most outstanding reply :)

You can't terminate a season long loan unless all parties agree, this we know to be a fact. He showed that he can do a job, and he's absolutely miles off match fitness. He's shown other glimpses, notably when he scored against Arsenal as a sub. He was a decent Championship player last season...

I have never disagreed more with a post. Other than those by Grendel.

He sticks to his opinion, which is blatantly pro-SISU. The only time he's ever criticised them was when Thorn was the manager and he was using them as an excuse for Thorn's failure. Since then, he's quietly re-alligned himself. He's not in their pay, but he is incredibly biased, and hence unfit...

Today's 451 was awesome; I like the way that Bailey was the highest up the pitch, meaning that our pressing was transformed to 30 yards higher up. I remember when Barcelona used to use an attacking-midfielder who was a ball-winner in that role, can't remember his name though, I think it began...

He only said outstanding once. He usually says it more, granted!

Well, Callum does have middle-aged spread ;) But he also has a lot more first team experience than Wilson. Ball is one of many signings from the summer, including Fleck and Barton, who we have totally failed to get the most out of in this division. All showed today that they are more than...

TBH if he turns around his Sky Blues career in anything like the way Baker has we'll all be delighted (apart from Ian in Shipston, obviously). He has ability, if he can get fit, he can be a very good player at this level. If he can't get fit, he should retire through injury, take the insurance...

He was OK, he gave us a target and was decent with his back to goal. Worked very hard. Was poor in the air but against two beasts of CB's (although Wilson did win more headers in his first 5 mins on the pitch than he did because he ACTUALLY JUMPS!). Not that he was used in the air too much as we...

There's so many pink handbags flying about tonight...

Once, when losing a 50-50 tackle. Several times he went long looking for the through ball off Cyrus when Baker would have come short. He just looked rusty, but he didn't really have much to do.

On the appeal-any smart manager would use that to motivate the players, even further to create a determined "siege mentality"; I don't think he himself actually thinks an appeal will work.

We were disappointed that it took him so long to use the word "outstanding", but when he did it was...outstanding. He can say what he likes as far as I'm concerned, his "football philosophy" is bedding in after a very short time at the club; we passed the ball calmly, we moved the opposition...

Which one of them? :)
