You really couldn't make up our story. It really has been dismal lows, to awesome highs, along with some dodgy events behind the scenes at SISU, WASPS, The Council and the VAR operator. We need to win the league for the icing on the cake.

The singularly most important aspect of our recent rise through the divisions has been our team spirit. Without that, a collection of way better players can fail (see Watford in earlier seasons). I suspect Bassette has a rather high opinion of his own ability that unfortunately has not...

Saw that presentation. King admitted that the squad was a bit thin. Made a joke about meeting Lampard about the window. He will no doubt explain what transpired. At no point could anyone (except you clearly), know that Lampard had expressed an opinion one way or another. Frank is a realist, and...

Ipswich fan said they have now lost 8 of their players that took them up to the Prem and the spirit has gone out of the club. Lost their two best players in Delap and Hutchison, which is like us losing Vik and Gus. He feels they have bought a lot of good players but is worried that thy may not...

I thought Bidders was fine until that injury caused by a terrible tackle by that Sheff Wed player. He has looked pedestrian since then. It maybe his recovery (if it happens) has not been as quick as we all would have liked.

Even Lampard said he was surprised how good Grimes has been. Every new player still has to adapt to new team mates and style of play, along with moving location disruption. Leaving his in-laws behind may have helped. Be interesting to see how players who have made a lot of Championship and even...

Based on lies, damned lies and statistics. If computer analysis could predict outcomes accurately, we would all be down the bookies and rolling in it.

It's the British disease. Everyone knows there is a problem, solutions should be simple and realistic but never get addressed in a reasonable timescale. See HS2, Nuclear power, infrastructure for wind farms.

We bought Rosario as a centre forward and he was really average. Bobby Gould converted him to a central midfielder and he was a revelation. So much so Brian Clough bought him to play midfield. I struggle to think of many of our players who have switched roles successfully. Dublin was never a...

Yes, but a lot of teams are in the same boat. When we had that amazing run of wins lat season, a lot of those teams were struggling with injuries and suspensions, but so were we. Our system had to be changed to adapt to the players we had fit. Nearly the same squad with the loss of Sheaf who...

Brau has looked off the pace so far which you would probably expect where he has come from. New country, new club, new manager, new style of football. I expect all new players to take time to get up to speed, although Grimes just came in and did it. Even Vic and Gus took time to reach peak...

JDS was good at the end of last season and has been really good so far this year. Very rarely gives the ball away and he has tightened up his defensive duties. A very high number of progressive passes and retaining the ball in tight spaces. Downsides are he never shoots and his crossing needs to...

I know we have increased TV revenue, as we are likely to be on a lot more. Do you believe the £25k a week for some players?

Unfortunately, Old Sky Blue is no longer around to clarify matters, and I get without accounts it is difficult to know how we now stand financially. King said we are losing £7 million a season. Yet if we believe what has been said (ho ho), we bought the stadium for £40 million but also offered...

Don't think Tats will get in ahead of Asante yet.

Completely agree. The only provisos are (being completely glass half-full), it was once said, O'Hare never gets injured. EMC has struggled on and off with niggling injuries and Saka gets very little protection from the refs. Eccles and Lati have had no pre-season and will take some time to...

Any top team (and players) need the flexibility to change systems between matches and during games. There has been criticism of Lampard in various (not City) podcasts about being inflexible, particularly away from home. Derby and first half against Oxford (neither world beaters) were awesome...

Eccles and Lati have not had a pre-season. Will take a while for them to get up to speed.
