Apart from Hyam and Jones, Westbrooke is the only one I would offer another contract. There will plenty of better players available to replace the others. I'm glad that we got Hyam tied up early which is something we've often failed to do in the past.

I didn't see us losing another game either. I guess if we had wrapped up the title early there is a chance we might have taken our foot off the gas in any 'dead' games after, but if we carried on playing like we were no other team in this league could match us.

Of course you are right about Norwich's self interest. Everyone seems so confident on here that we will be named Champions and promoted if as looks likely from all the soundbites, that the season is cancelled. This confidence makes me slightly uncomfortable though, and a swift look through other...

I agree I don't think there is any chance they will use this system, but I understand it is based on the table after 22 games whereby every team has played the other once. It is difficult to work out in our League because of the Bury situation. Even taking everyone's points tally after 22 games...

It's in my mind that Ivanov got sent off in a reserve game but I'm not absolutely sure. Might explain why the manager (Neal?) might not have gone through with signing him.

If I remember right there was a German team interested too - Wolfsburg rings a bell. Anyhow it looks like it was never really close to happening. Remember Ivanov coming, who had been brilliant in the World Cup so not sure how he was not deemed good enough for us. Got a vague recollection that we...

With players like McAllister, Ndlovu, Whelan, Huckerby, Dublin and even Jess playing I'm not sure we should really have been in a position to go down. I guess it was our poor defence which counter balanced that attacking talent.

So many threads on this - Poor Dresden just can't catch a break! 15 Bochum 25 6 10 9 40 45 -5 28 16 Wiesbaden 25 6 7 12 31 43 -12 25 17 Karlsruhe 25 5 9 11 33 46 -13 24 18 Dresden 25 6 6 13 25 41 -16 24

Nothing to do with them being bottom of the league though!

I'm slightly suspicious of the Dresden outbreak too. As the team bottom of Bundesliga 2, they are probably hoping for a no relegation scenario, so putting a spanner in the works of restarting appears to work to their favour.

I wasn't aware this had been decided. How is the voting constituency being made up? Are the Leagues voting separately, or are all 71 clubs voting together?

Of course, but the EFL will decide how the vote works, which will have huge significance to the eventual outcome. For instance do the 3 leagues decide together, or do they decide by individual league, or as suggested League 1 and League 2 are separated for voting purposes from the Championship...

If we are promoted, this current situation could work to our favour, and give us a better chance of competing than in any normal season. BCD games will badly affect those Championship clubs with the highest expenditures, and clubs will have to make tough decisions about maintaining those high...

I'm not sure who it favours, Ipswich probably, but definitely not us. It plays to the argument that every team has played each other, and supposedly simplifies the mathematical arguments about using PPG or working out the strength of opposition left to play in the games remaining. I can't see...

I think you have misread, doesn't read to me like he is advocating cancelling the season, but saying why cancel the season if you don't know when you can restart.

The 22 game midpoint one, where they take the 1st match played against each team, has us 4th or 5th. It seems ridiculous to me but it has been put out there, and will probably be pushed by those teams it suits.

He is sticking up for his club and fighting for their best interests - that is admirable. But for our run immediately prior to the break it could have been us in the play offs instead and I would like to think that our owners would have been fighting as hard for our club's interests in the same...

Only a caretaker I know but Richard Shaw must statistically have the worse managerial record. 4 straight defeats against the mighty Crewe, Stevenage, Tranmere and Shrewsbury. If Shaw had done half decently in those games he would have got the job, and we would never have got MR.

The 6 clubs immediately outside the automatic places for a start! Also if there is any chance of a null and void season, or this standings at 22 games bollocks, I would hope we would vote against it too.

My nephew was in City's Academy for about 4 years in the same group as Cyrus Christie. They were a good group, beating just about everybody they came up against but Christie was the only one that made it of that group. He was most definitely the best athlete, although the worst technically, but...
