I would keep Baka. He's not a starter, but has always offered something off the bench + you never know he might turn into the kind of striker he should be. Would take him over Hiwula every day

City should never play in red (even the away kit). They should bring back the Brown kit.

Would of been a half decent signing, and might of meant we didn't have David Rennie at Centre Half who was always a disaster, but a steady midfielder. I thought Cobi Jones was alright, not great but he set up a winner at Upton Park as I recall. Got frozen out when Big Ron came in and started...

Has anyone got, or can create, the 89/90 & 90/91 Kit. Always loved that one, with the Peugeot logo.

One of Sillett's final signings as I recall. I remember he wasn't great early on, but during that awful 91/92 season under Butcher and then Howe he stepped up, and was a nasty, tough center half. Frozen out by Gould unfairly I always thought. What are people's thoughts on him?

Coleman was awful. Had the best budget out of all the managers post relegation from Premiership, but the team failed to improve. He talked a good game, and used to ramble on pre and post match, but most of it was bollocks. I thought we looked decent under Boothroyd early on, and he made us a...

Loved that brown away kit from the 70’s. Definitely should be brought back.

On another day, we would of been 3 or 4 nil up by the time Tranmere got their first chance. Godden's 1st half miss, and Hiwula's 2nd half miss were guilt edge chances. We should of also had at least 1 penalty. Godden's shot against the post was just plain unlucky, he did everything right. I...

Robert Rosario (Great during 92/93, then sold, and season went downhill. Heard that before) Paul Williams (Left Back) - Made a few appearances during 93/94. Crossed for Mick Harford's only goal (and appearance in a Cov shirt) Ray Woods Gavin Strachan Willie Boland Martin Cranie

Ian Wright & Chris Sutton are great on the Monday Night Football Club on 5live. Wright used to annoy me on TV but he's insightful on the radio, I like Shearer, doesn't say anything paticulary interesting but always a solid prescence. Wish they'd move Lineker on though.

Sterling should be no less than a 7. Thought he was steady and calm today.

No doubt the subs changed the game, but before that,we were very poor which is worrying coming after the midweek disappointment. Really not sure about JCH. He is not a target man or a goal scorer. He was out fought for every ball played up to him. He is no more a goal threat than Bianou, and...

Watched it last night. Bakayoko wasn't great, far from it, but I don't agree with him being made the scapegoat. Awful punted balls up to him in the first half, that no forward would of got on the end of. Our 2 best moves in the first half actually came from us playing it up to his feet, and we...

I remember the home game against Swindon on Sky. Marsden completely ran the show, with Roy Wegerle.

Transfer In - Has to be Gary Mac. Heard rumours he had fallen out with Howard Wilkinson, and of course we already had Strachan as Assistant Manager, which was probably the biggest pull for Macca. Shame we didn't see anywhere near his best until his 4th and final season with us. Transfer Out -...

Yes correct, my mind was a bit fuzzy, being 25 years ago. It was still a horrible season, that actually got worse when Butcher left and Howe took over. Thank god for Bobby Gould and Phil Neal the next season.

Butcher also got rid of Kilcline, who went on to play rather well for Swindon & Newcastle. Killer would of been a better option than Andy Pearce who Butcher signed in 1991. Peter Billing was already around under Sillett and I always quite liked him. As I recall Butcher's first 3/4 season in...

Phil Neal did well to keep us competitive, before Richardson began his spending spree, with Atkinson bringing in overpriced Championship players (Paul Williams, Shaw, Daish, Salako, Richardson) and we actually got worse. Neal had virtually no money, and must be credited for bringing Dublin to...

Reliable Brian Borrows - Fantastic cultured full back. Good going forward, and steady defensively. Amazed we held on to him for so long. Travesty he missed the '87 cup final David Speedie - Always could create something, or score a goal Dion Dublin - So good in the air. Great target man, but...

When we actually HAD wingers, they were for the most part great - Bennett, Froggatt, D.Smith spring to mind. However since I've been following The City ('86 onwards) there were a host of players playing out of position wide. I still have ghastly thoughts about in no particular order: Sean Flynn...
