Denis Law scored 6 for Manchester City in an FA cup tie at Luton the game was abandoned late on, City lost the subsequent replayed game 3-1 sort of thing Cov would do !

Plus Dave Bamber, Graham Withey, Steve Morgan, Ranny Avramovic, Ashley Grimes, Paul Williams ( the full back one) and dropping Steve Ogrizovic for son Jonathon. Christ I forgot the best of the lot Leigh Jenkinson !!

Robins has hardly played him though, how can he really be judged and remember Kelly was injured for weeks.

Years ago I worked with ex city goalie Alf Wood at Masseys his stories of his city times were brilliant but he always said Clarrie Bourton for some strange reason under-sold himself, I think George Hudson did the same.

To score the amount of goals Bourton did he’d be a multi-million posing player today his record is incredible.

As for best manager Jimmy Hill by a mile, he had the knack of getting the best out of all players who played for him and made some remarkable signings who became top players here and elsewhere when they moved on, Ernie Machin from non-league Nelson, John Tudor non-league Ilkeston, Willie Carr...

Big shame George Curtis didn’t carry on as manager, he controlled the dress room and egos bit of an opposite to Sillett a perfect combination.

Are you drunk ?

He wasn’t manager of the cup final team

Where has he played for us ?

We have a strange manager, signs players and they seem to become square pegs in round holes. Ogogo was a top player at Shrewsbury who and I think I’m correct where never out the first division top three last season yet Ogogo has never played the position he did at Shrewsbury.

In this league get a few wins in a row and you shoot up the league as we did October lose three and down you go bit like like snakes and ladders l

Probably down to Harry Storer bit of a Brian Clough of his day was building a top team here, it’s said the war cost him taking Cov into the top division. I always wonder why George Hudson never really went into the first division apart from a 6 month spell at Northampton too, he’s still the...

Wasn’t he banned for going on the pitch ?

It’s not the player it’s how he’s been asked to play, he’s a striker should play up front alongside the centre forward.

He wants one more window which is fair enough but from the last window, how many are regulars ? not counting the loanees Junior Brown and that took a while and thats it, we are a third division side we can’t afford that.

I’m not sure that many saw it or realised exactly what happened it was in an instant you can imagine the celebrations going on players and supporters jumping about all over the place. My mate who was with me still laughs about it on reflection it was funny

Glad your lads okay reminds me of a similar incident years ago, I went to a semi-final took my then five year old, quite a large crowd round the pitch with a couple of minutes to go at 0-0 the little bleeder slipped my hand and ran diagonally across the corner of the pitch just as a clearance...

What I can’t fathom is we played this way last season and we huffed and puffed and had plenty of poor days at the office, it changed and by the end of the season I think we were easily the best team in the division or did I have my sky blue specs on ?

Down to system of play, just not working so obvious that would affect players morale a lot more
