Hucks was a class striker. The Dublin - Huckerby partnership was widely viewed as one of most lethal in the League. Huckerby scared the life out of the opposition with his pace and finishing. And he had the ability to single handedly win matches - for example his performance on Boxing Day at...

Must be time for a song from Dolly on CWR.

Excellent post Esoterica and more than agree with what you are saying. To your point, Robins is excellent at evolving and improving teams season over season - he is not afraid to make changes and doesn't have favourites - changes are simply made to improve the team. He generally gets those...

Agreed Steve. I certainly don't classify anyone on here who greeted Baka's miss with such undisguised joy as a true supporter. And I will continue to call them out on it. It seems to me that Baka was on a hiding to nothing when he joined because some Walsall fans didn't rate him (obviously...

I agree with you Nick. I wasn't that baffled though by the reaction. I swear there were 2-3 on here who 'celebrated' Baka's miss much more than they would a City goal. They seem determined to write some of our players off and given their bias could not be more delighted when those players...

100% agree with you cc84. The competition for places in our midfield 3 is crazy. I don't ever recall having the type of depth we have in midfield. And we have Allen to slot in as well. You could make a very good case for all of the players you have mentioned to play in our 3 based on...

baldy you're not jealous of O'Hare's hair by chance? ;)

O'Hare is a quality player and will be very important for us this season. He's our most natural attacking midfielder and given freedom can create chaos. He pushes the oppo back and creates space for others. For me he's an automatic starter in our midfield 3 - although I do understand the...

I'd have Bright back in a second. 10 Bags Bayliss has gone on the record as saying that Bright is by far the best player he's been on a pitch with. Having someone of Bright's talent available to the manager/team would be a real positive - and would create very serious problems for the oppo...

Let me get this right Greggs. Your pal notices and comments on your new gay jacket. Pretty observant. But makes no comment at all on the fact that you walk around with an owl all day on your arm?

On the other side of this, Peter Ndlovu played against us on a pre-season tour. And I think (happy to be corrected) that Boateng played against us in a pre-season friendly before signing. Two of our most iconic players. We get lucky sometimes!

Even the best strikers miss easy opportunities sometimes. Ronnie Rosenthal mentioned above as an example - he was an elite striker in an elite Liverpool team. When that Liverpool team ran riot and beat us 6-0 at home or something similar; Rosenthal was simply unplayable. In our team this...

Baka looks much better playing in a 2 vs. the single striker role. The Max/Baka partnership was showing some promise. I would prefer 2 up front in a 3-5-2 to be honest vs. the formation we played Saturday. Max/Godden probably first choice in the 2 with Baka off the bench. I would also like...

'Bettered.' Too much time listening to Benno's pissed up musings on the radio pusb! And technically these days Bayliss can only be referred to by his official full name. 10 Bags Bayliss.

Correction: It's Zainbrooke. Just to make sure everyone knows who you are talking about.

'We didn't need Moldavan' shows both how brilliant our forward line was in that era and unfortunately also how far we have fallen since those glory days!

Agreed Adge. If only we'd had a top class coach we really could have done something with those players.

I see what you are saying Bucks and Sky Blue Pete. Normally I'm a real advocate for professionalism, research and being prepared in any job. But in this case there's something that's just entertaining and infectious about Benno's commentary - he's always upbeat and finds entertainment in the...

A fit Kevin Drinkell always looked good against us when he was at Norwich. Unfortunately we got the crocked one.

Bursting forward at pace from the half way line and beating 5-6 men was certainly reminiscent of the Maradona classic. The finish was even more spectacular.
