    This Summer

    I wonder whether we are deluding ourselves about how much progress we have made this year. 1. How many of our squad would be in the matchday squad of a team in the top two automatic places? I venture only Moore, O'Hare and Hamer. for certain with Victor as a possible. We are only one player...

    Both Blackburn goals came from our left, and should really have been cut oyt, particularly the one by Dack. Bidwell was left side central defender. Which makes me query the high rating MotM he received from many.

    Championship 21/22

    On the basis of the fixture list, our chances are pretty low, hence the odds.We do not have a strong enough side imho to win a string of games against top teams - which is what is required. Assuming Huddersfield and QPR are in, that leaves 6-7 clubs for two places. The odds must be against us...

    Summer recruitment

    Is this short contract a way of ensuring we get a better price (and the agent therefore gets a better fee). Nowt to do with him committing to City at all, actually the exact opposite.

    Summer recruitment

    The obvious deadwood will not save us much money on the salary bill as most of those being listed are on rock bottom wages. We need to sell at least one of O'Hare or Hamer to generate the cash. I suspect Hamer is the easier sale and also the easier to replace. O'Hare really is a bit of a one...

    I doubt if their defensive coach said that to the No 22 afterwards. He was guilty of ball watching. And Gyokeres hit it pretty much straight at the goalie - see O'Hare passim. We got a bit lucky, another time.....

    The mistake was by their no 22, who was drawn to Gus Hamer when there were already 2 men on him. left Big Vik unmarked

    No ambition.

    I have resisted coming onto this thread. But basically, SISU have plenty of ambition for their hedge funds, it's just that not is not the same one as most of the fans. And for all the many explanations as to why people with lots of money invest in football clubs and then don't follow through...

    January Transfer Window

    If SISU sold us, they then have to find another vehicle to dump profits (in the form of loans) with which to avoid tax on the profits in their other investments. They may as well stick with the one they have.

    Actually, and this is rare, I fancy us to beat a well placed team away from home. 0-1.

    Bidwell

    Wrong. Loans are an absolutely essential part of the mix. Usually among the best players in the team and freshen up the squad. They are also a flexible & low risk source with potential for long term recruitment (O'Hare, Sheaf, Gyokeres). We needed all 5 last season to stay up - James did us a...

    Bidwell

    oN Bidwell: He may be pemanent, but is he an upgrade on the three loans, Sam Mac, Ryan Giles and Maatsen? Unlikely.

    McNulty Article

    Getting that money for McNulty was one of the best bits of business we've done in the last few years. Reading were clearly stupid, it was pretty obvious at the time he was not that standard. Lovely jubbly. Beginning to look as though cash for Bayliss is also looking a good deal. Good selling...

    All I can think is that this is the 4th season in 5 where we have reached February and still have something positive to play for - promotion/play offs. And even last season's survival was just a necessary bridging season to the new level were at. And we are much better established than under...
