Birdie: Kitching, Saka; Collins (the poor distribution was often because of the position he was placed in and the instructions he is under) The save prevented a defeat. Par: MvE, Thomas, Bidwell, Palmer, O'Hare Bogey: Lati & Eccles. The midfield went awol for 45 minutes. What on earth...

Gibbo's 5 Take aways 1. First 45 minutes was so turgid I was beginning to regret the 4.5 hour round trip to get to and from the match and wondered why I had tickets for future games. Static football, no answer to their press, and a goal that had we conceded would have had this thread apoplectic...

But has form for being to slow to do so

Last night when I commented to my neighbor that Simms was putting in a much better shift than Godden, he replied that Simms had had better service, which was true in part but Simms imho put himself in places where he could be passed to. But it was criminal that nobody was at the near post for...

Tough game. The best team surely includes Eccles, Simms and Wright with Torp and Godden on the bench. 1-0.

...if three are bidding, better to start a bidding war and cash in. Long and medium term the money is more use to us, as he will almost certainly, leave on a freebie at the end of the season otherwise. Just because SISU have gone, gates are up and we are sitting on some Hamer money does not mean...

Slightly surprised if Torp included, so soon after all the Robins' expectations management down played the likelihood. The six incoming - Wilson, Lati, Binks, Da Silva, Simms & Allen. Lose 2-1.

...bet they all say that. Then before you know it, the line has been lifted across the board. We have to be sustainable, it is actually more important than promotion

....worried about the wage bill going forward. That is where big spending Championship clubs come unstuck if they don't get promoted- see Derby but there are others. Best to find lower ticket Europeans

Give Saka, Collins, Bidwell and Eccles a break. Maybe even Thomas as well

Intimately involved in both goals yesterday. Ran the length of the pitch to be involved twice in the second....after an hour

Strikes me Palmer is a 'Marmite' character, as there are clearly a number of irreconcilables on here who will never be convinced. I have always been a fan - old fashioned tricky midfielder. But yesterday he was involved closely in both goals. It was his flick that caused chaos in the defence...

Who is number 11 with the crazy hair?

This always was a daft thread doomed to be full of mea culpas only weeks later. I have supported City since 1962 and until Robins came, had only experienced one period of sustained success - 1962-67 - otherwise success was restricted to brief spasms of joy, the last one being Eric Black 20...

...have we got international clearance for him yet??? Just leave him in the stands to watch and learn

Even by the standards of the world's most fickle people, football fans, I find the wild change in appreciation for Wright from complete dud to absolutely essential and his absence liable to cost us the game, all with a month or so, just jaw dropping. I am no talent spotter (quite the reverse)...

Loan to perm is a really good way to try before you buy. O'Hare, Sheaf and Big Vik were all loans first, and many fancied buying Walsh and McNally and would have liked Maatsen to stay.

"It’s a tough league and January is a tough window to find value in" ...is the key sentence, along with one by one by mmttww up thread that we are building for the long term, not just in a mad rush for the play offs (which will be even tougher and more of a lottery than ever this year). Thus...

The only indispensable person in the Club is Robins.

The only answer is B. No player is indispensable. We can get a good replacement. We are a team not a one man show. This is a long term game with anything achieved this year a bonus.
