He actually stayed and played under Gould for a short while, although I don't think he was staying out of choice by that time. In a typical Gould like pre season gimmick he arranged a game against a group of supporters and some Sunday League clogger nobbled Hunt resulting in him missing the...

He left us in 1984!! He was a top player and I suspect that looking back he might regret staying with us beyond the 1980/81 season. He didn't get a chance with England until he left us, but had been at his best a few seasons before that, and was deserving of a chance long before he got it.

Seems a bit unfair to earn your team a penalty and for it not to count as an assist (if scored).

Much depends how desperate we are for a sale. Our history tells us that we usually look to cash in one of our players every season, and if so Hamer and O'Hare are the most saleable. Playing wise it would make sense for both to stay another season, but outside forces could make that difficult to...

77-78 for me. We scored 75 league goals in the top division and were so entertaining to watch, with a team brimming with true City 'legends'. I would give an honourable mention to last season though. By the time the season was curtailed I was watching games expecting us to win, and I just...

Lyle Taylor for me

What helped us adopt the high press so effectively was having a few more injured players back, which strengthened our bench so that making our full use of subs didn't weaken the team on the pitch as much as it did a few weeks back.

This question is difficult to call either way, while there could also be other factors that come into play, like whether the authorities only allow crowds back with reduced capacities, and if so what percentage that reduction might be set at. On a side issue I think we have been hit more by the...

You or anyone else will do well to predict even 50% of our results correctly, but I suspect that you might not be far off with your final points total.

What would be the best City XI he played with?

Hughes was very good in his first season with us, but people forget that because his subsequent time with us was a bit of a disappointment.

We have to play Walker with a strike partner though if we want to continue to get the best out of him.

While its a bit of fun looking at this with so many games to play its impossible to say and fairly pointless trying to work out. There are too many imponderables that you can't factor in: injuries, suspensions, luck both for & against, the strength of the opposition will change throughout this...

Interesting that when Jordan Willis got a bad injury recently a number of posters on here who seemed quite happy about his misfortune were saying how much better off our defence was without him. Now this thread is full of posters bemoaning our lack of pace, even seeing Pask as a possible...

I think we have to look to play 2 up front from here on. Walker looks far more comfortable and effective in the games he's played with a partner alongside of him, and in the continued absence of Godden we are going to need Walker's goals to keep us up.

None of us have ever seen Da Costa play left back and just because he might have played there previously doesn't necessarily make him a good fit for us there. It strikes me that if we play him on the left he will lose much of his effectiveness, which means we end up weakening ourselves in both...

It certainly looks probable that Shipley will start as LWB but given the stamina and physical attributes needed for that role I would expect him to be out on his feet by half time, so we definitely need a back up plan. For the sake of the balance of the team I would rather not see Da Costa moved...

I'm sure he was very quick compared to other kids at his school but he's now in a professional environment full of very, very quick players. On the bits and pieces I've seen of him it doesn't look like pace is his major strength, but rather his balance and close control seem to me to be his...
