    Euro’s 2020 players

    Yep Moldovan scored with an excellent finish as Romania beat England in the group game. He remains the only Cov player to score at a World Cup tournament. Two years later (although obvs no longer with us) he was brought down for the decisive penalty by Phil Neville as Romania knocked England...

    Euro’s 2020 players

    Birch all didn’t sign for us until after the tournament. Bit like Paul Hall and Robert Jarni who joined us after France’98. 1998 World Cup finals a City player scored against England.

    Pivotal Sky Blue Moments

    Bringing in Jim Smith as the assistant manager Roland Nilssen didn’t need. He signed Paul Trollope and Horacio Carbonari and literally organised fights between players in training.

    Play-offs

    did you get the stat from Comms today that *all* of his goals have come from first touch finishes - headers or meeting crosses. That’s not a bad skill to have but suggests a flaw in his game if he can’t control it first. they’re crying out for a clinical finisher - some like Will Grigg perhaps?

    See. However, It’s still not over. Can Lincoln be as bad in second half?

    Liam Walsh

    I’m sure Liam Walsh will have options. For instance, Lee Johnson was the Bristol City manager that loaned Walsh to us but always saw him as integral to the development of that team. Walsh’s injury and Johnson’s sacking meant it never worked out - and I’ve no idea if the two are particularly...

    Play-offs

    Regardless of the hospital pass back from Flanagan it was definitely a keeper error. That said he made a couple of decent to good saves beforehand. The tie isn’t over yet, esp if Sunderland score early on Saturday.

    Transfer Rumour James Collins

    No only does he always get mentioned but he’s played us off against teams offering more money twice now - Swindon for which he might be forgiven given our state of uncertainty under Thorne) and Luton. Always has it put about that he’s love to join his boyhood team only to follow the money. I...

    Ostigard

    https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/callum-ohare-aston-villa-coventry-18500072 This is where I got it from. You’re right that they didn’t have an option but Suggests that they didn’t offer him a new contract which would have guaranteed a compensation fee.

    Ostigard

    Ah I got it wrong then. I thought that they had an option in their favour that they didn’t take up. The above makes more sense.

    never understood why Vile didn’t take the option on OHare.

    Marosi

    played a blinder against us last month but was then dropped in favour of Blackman after two more home defeats. I’d be wary of that in the same way that a Stoke City fan might not have an all round view of Ben Wilson’s attributes.
