You can see why Godden is playing but he’s a total passenger. Back 4 looking good again and Wright very impressive. Sakamoto busy.

Think Simms is dropped to be fair to Godden. You can’t stay in the team endlessly if you’re not scoring. Long term he’ll be back but at this point it seems fair enough to put Godden in for him.

If Lisbon can get anything north of £40m for Gyokeres we should be putting the bunting out.

You’ll see the same scenario play out every season. Newly promoted club needs players. Other clubs know they have money. Game of “chicken” ensues as season draws close. Invariably it’s for players like Hamer who are among the top champ players but still affordable for lower prem clubs.

Happy Christmas all.

I think we’ll finish just outside the play-offs. Well up there but just outside.

I’d fancy us to win 2-3 of those but in this Championship it’s a complete bun fight.

I’m afraid if you think he’s shown he can finish it’s you that is clueless. I sincerely hope you are right but I have my doubts. To qualify the not looking like a footballer I mean in the way he does things - nothing looks natural - passing, dribbling, shooting. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Is it the latest clean sheet that has triggered the emerging doubts about Collins?

Yes, agree with that. Far more rounded this season. If I had to pick one I’d go Sheaf.

Sorry, my apologies, players always see their contacts out don’t they. You can have someone on a 20 year deal. Means nothing.

Why’s that? He’s impressed you then? When? With what?

Because we’ve spent a lot of money on him and he doesn’t look a very good player. Doesn’t move like a footballer or do anything naturally.

Length of contract is totally meaningless. It’s the T’s and C’s that are relevant. Extend and improve. Kitching in particular needs to be retained.

Early criticism of these deals is now looking very premature. Strategically we should be thinking of extensions already.

That’s a statement result. Plenty of good performances but for me it’s the reintroduction of Bidwell that’s sparked us. So much easier to secure 3 points if you don’t concede. Kitching looks an absolute snip as well.

As city fans we see a huge talent who’s been out for a long time with a serious injury. Other clubs will pay more attention to the injury - it’s a huge risk. We should make an offer. There may not be many others and we may get lucky and keep him.

Merry Christmas. And after the last three games a very Happy New Year.

The only player who worries me at the moment is Simms. All solid 8’s today with Simms 6.

Let’s try and stay on Topic. There are Bounty be differing opinions but we shouldn’t get our Snickers in a twist. If we can be Kinder in our language and take the odd Time Out you should Wispa it quietly but the debate would be a Daim sight better.
