    Would JCH have fitted in

    Biamou started the first game against Scunthorpe and also started against Blackpool when he got injured. I don’t even think that JCH was in the squad at that stage.

    Would JCH have fitted in

    I agree. There were times when JCH looked like a really good player. He didn’t do it enough though.

    Gary McSheffrey

    I can only say what I know about his dad. We both played for the City Supporters Club (the one in Thackall Street) on a Sunday.

    Would JCH have fitted in

    I agree about the crosses bit. I disagree about the comparison to Biamou. Until his injury, Max was clearly ahead in the pecking order and I think was the better player.

    Thank you! Mostly Blues fans as I say but still a fair smattering of Villa (and, as far as I know, only 1 Sky Blue - me!) The hate bit is the bit I don’t get. There seems real animosity at the derby matches but you all get on together in the week.

    I’ve worked in Birmingham for the past 36 years (retired last week!) spreading the Sky Blue Gospel! I have to say I haven’t made many converts! For the past 28 years I have worked in Chelmsley Wood which is a bit of a Blues stronghold. I have obviously worked with lots of Blues and Villa fans...

    Glad our fans aren't the manager...

    Robins got us promoted. Who is to say that if he had implemented the changes that you were asking for that we still would have gone up. Trusting the judgement of a man whose working life has been spent in football or a fan on the internet? I know who I would go with.

    I played football with George, his dad. He was a big City fan,always at games.

    Glad our fans aren't the manager...

    I’m not sure about that. I thought Westbrook’s was okay today.whilw I think that O’Hare will be a regular in the team eventually, I think Robins might stick with the midfield that started today for a while yet. Could be wrong though.

    Wish you were here

    I think O'Hare has started well and will be a good player for us this season. That now doesn't mean that Bright was suddenly crap. Two different players who play in different ways. I wonder if we had managed to re-sign Bright would we have been under so much pressure on Saturday. He is a player...

    Bakayoko

    This is the way I would see it too. I think he always works hard and gives everything.He shows glimpses of potential but overall his contribution has been disappointing. His performance at Watford was awful. Following on from Robin’s comments last week, I would much sooner see Bakayoko go out on...

    Junior Brown to Scunthorpe

    His best moment was probably his goal line clearance against Doncaster(?) to preserve a win followed by his dash to the toilet at the end.

    Highfield Road Best Memories ?

    We were 3-2 down after being 2-0 up. In 52 years of watching the City I have never seen us come back from a three goal deficit. Brighton came back from three down to draw with us at Highfield Road and Forest from 4 down before losing 5-4 but in my time we have never done it.

    Bury gone

    Perhaps some of the problems we have in football is clubs being bankrolled by rich benefactors. It distorts the picture and means that well run clubs that live within their means can’t compete. Have the owners of Chelsea and Man City been good for football? I wouldn’t say so. It is quite simply...

    Bury gone

    If it becomes a rule that to play in the league, a new model of ownership has to come into play when a club changes hands, any new owners would know what they are signing up to.

    Bury gone

    For us as a club, the happenings in the PL are of only passing interest in terms of who can or can’t win the league. For the likes of us, Bury, Bolton Blackpool etc theissue is about surviving and thriving. It is about stopping unsuitable owners being able to use and abuse a club that morally...
