I simultaneously posted the same thing on another thread. Those guys were all a big influence on the confidence of the team.

Cheers for doing the donkey work on that Otis – I was too lazy :) So I’ll come up with another lazy theory – that the poor form is down to the loss of a series of dominant personalities at centre back (Johnson, Turner, Martin). Guys like that provide a platform for the team to play with...

I dare say this point has been made elsewhere, but I’d be interested in this season’s stats with & without O’Brien. He’s not the classiest player in the squad, but I think a lot of our early season success was helped by his willingness to run all day, and to constantly fire up the other...

Perhaps you cleaned them out Nick?

Much of what Fletcher says is pointless IMO. Seems to me that the train is pulling away from us, but it’s not because of stadium revenues, it’s because of TV money. The stadium was the vital platform (excuse the pun) we needed ten years ago to establish ourselves in and around the Premier...

The article says: "City come in fifth across all 72 Football League clubs and tenth across all clubs, including the Premier League". It looks like the club may have cherry-picked the statistic about getting Academy players into the first-team, which is arguably a lot easier when you are...

There's a link on the same page about Ben Stevenson coming back well from a long lay-off:- http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/lee-glover-ben-stevenson-sheffield-united-coventry-city-2968336.aspx

Sorry Gazolba, I suspect your memory is playing tricks. I don't think Hudson played in the promotion-winning season, having moved on the year before? I love the pictures though. They take me back to my childhood, when I would cut them out of the Telegraph and stick them on my bedroom wall :)

I suspect I'm actually in this photo, just peering out from under Fergie's left armpit. As a further claim to fame I once had a piss in a pub, stood at the latrine between Wallace and Beck.

A fine player Bannister - much underrated, and would have made a good striker (as opposed to winger) IMO .

This is what we should be worrying about – the Premier League effectively becoming a closed shop for the 20 teams in it, plus about 10 who have been in it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35587016 The TV money totally overshadows everything else. Some clubs are at least on the pavement...

Sorry G, didn’t mean to “single you out” – you just happened to be in the firing line when I snapped a bit :) I wouldn’t want to see the forum become bland, and footballers are in a very tough entertainment business so they have to be able to take criticism. But to survive as a club, we need...

Yep, superb that day against Spurs, the only one of our players who looked like they could cut it against Prem opposition. Still don't understand what has gone wrong really.
