    I seem to remember Kevin Kyle scoring a late winner at QPR one tuesday evening (under Coleman I think). Good goal.

    Now that he is back, I still see and hear nothing to change my mind that he will never be a regular city player. In our despration to include him, he is being put in line for a position in the team that I suspect he is mentally and physically not suited for. Both he and Bright are in different...

    Robins still working wonders at Coventry

    Yes money can buy success - but can lead to disaster - see Derby Sheff Wed and Hull That was not my point. Players are 'free' because they are no longer sold like cattle, which they were pre-Bosman, but can now be free agents, talented players, shopping for the best deal. The variables are...

    Robins still working wonders at Coventry

    'Free' implies surplus to requirements, as in the disparaging comment heard often 'reliant on frees and loans'. That is a complete misunderstanding of the transfer market outside the Prem and a few (and diminishing number of) Championship clubs, which is all most journalists know or care about...

    Squad Depth

    Coaches rate pace very highly, apparently, as a key point of difference. All footballers at this level are skillful (altho sometimes it is hard to believe). But additional pace really counts if you are a young player trying to come through. Or conversely the lack of it. But real speed costs real...

    Squad Depth

    I am totally with you on this. The first eleven looks good, but thereafter hmmm, not so sure. If you think about it the central spine of the team has had some serious investment in it - Hamer, Gyokeres and Sheaf all cost money. O'Hare is a highly valuable player and Moore appears to be a...

    that just highlights a weakness. one goal,in the last minute, is as narrow as it gets. we are playing better but context is always important #flattrackbully

    four quick ones 1. There is sharp contrast between what was being said before Allen's goal and that after the game. Alot of re-writing history going on 2. There was also a contrast between what was said on here and what Bianca Westwood reported. She thought we were really good before the...

    Reading blog this after the match, and knowing the result. So the comments are absolutely hilarious.

    Reading are poor. If we want a) mid table b) less stress for fans - 2-0 would be nice I am by nature one of the more gloomy at pre-match forecasting, so this is bold for me

    1. If we took him, we would have five suitable (to a greater or lesser extent) strikers - MG, TW, VG, MW plus this guy. This represents a substantial upgrade on last year, but seems profligate when considering the weaknesses elsewhere. 2. Yes, Britain would be the attration - if he gets noticed...

    Allegedly Man City made £110m in selling & loaning young players - so buying Grealish keeps within FFP. Nothing wrong with it at all, just the market working quite well actually. Having a sugar daddy is the problem.

    We are employing a footballer, not a political leader. And nor should we be endlessly punished for past indiscressions. You are punished for the crime as approriate, not given a life sentence. We don't need another right back right now, as we only have limited cash. But that is a footballing...
