Possibly the best swap deal in the history of the club. Billy Rafferty plus cash to Blackpool in exchange for Tommy Hutchison.

Sounds right with regard to the times of the goals. I can't remember who got the other one. I'll look it up.

David Cross scored two hat tricks in one season. The first was on the opening day of the season in a 4-1 win at Everton, I was at that game. I missed his second hat trick which was on the last day of the season away at Burnley, another win.

Dublin scored a hatrick against Sheffield Wednesday in a midweek televised game. We took the lead three times but in typical City fashion managed to lose 4-3. I think the fastest hat trick I have ssen live was by Nigel Clough as he helped Forest come back from 4-0 down (Kevin Gallagher hat...

Since relegation from the PL, as a club we have known at best, mediocrity, at worst abject failure. That was until Robins turned up for the second time. He has completely transformed the playing fortunes of the club in a way that not one of the other umpteen managers we have had in that period...

That reluctance could be considered a strength. Both you and I are looking at the game from a fan's point of view. We will have our opinions and are entitled to them. However, surely someone like Robin's should be given credit for knowing more than me or you?. Before a sub is made he always has...

A lazy assumption I think. There are many matches where a substition he has made has made a positive difference.

Not at all. Very much a glass half full person. I see lots of positives in what we have achieved this season. We have a manager who has managed to improve us year on year and who has somehow engineered a 6 game unbeaten run and turned our team from a leaky sieve with regards to goals conceded to...

I agree. A bit like our constant inability to beat Aston Villa. The amount of games I went to thinking that this will be the time we beat them, only to be disappointed. Eventually we got there, and if we play them often enough, so will Wycombe. In reality, the history of the fixture means...

No, but I think you can give it context. First few months as a professional, in and out of the team.you surely have to look at his starting position and see how much he progressed?

Yes, I agree. I think Saturday was his best game.

No, I remember the league games too. While it took him a while to get going with regards to goal scoring, I actually think his overall play improved quite dramatically from the useless display he gave against Blackburn in his first performance. With regard to League 1, I thought he started off...

You described him as useless in the Forest thread. I'm sure if someone wanted to scroll through your comments on him over the years it would show that, as a player, he is someone you have been disparaging of to say the least. It was good to see you were able to appreciate his performance on...

Just like me. Only game I missed seeing him play was Ipswich away in the cup last season. Apparently he had a stormer. The things I say are only based on what I see.

I'm not sure what is nonsense. I don't agree with any vitriolic comments. It doesn't mean you can't criticise a player and say why you think they are poor. In Baka's case I just don't think that he imposes himself enough in games, doesn't use the natural attri utes he undoubtably has to his full...

I would think the stats you quote for Biamou are for appearances be they 90 minutes or 2 minutes. The goals you quote don't, for some reason, include FA Cup and I presume., Play offs. Why not? McNulty scored 27 goals in the promotion season. I have never seen some of those goals sifted out as...

I want the same. You seem to think that anyone who thinks differently than you about Biamou puts him above the club. Not true.

I have never heard any City fan say that Adebola was comparable to Pele. I liked Adebola. He had power and pace and was skilful for a big man. I also liked the way that he came ‘back from the dead’ loaned out, written off but came on as a sub in his first game back and immediately got fans on...

Was it a reliable source for the Seppala info?

From what you and Mark have said on here, it would seem that you both think a return to the Ricoh is likely. What makes you both optimistic? For me, the only reason the stadium issue is not bigger with the fan base is the fact that we can't attend anyway. St Andrews was only acceptable last...
