It is amazing after all these years how Clive still confuses our players, and sometimes players that are even polar opposuites in looks and playing position. Its quite funny the times Oggy then follows up with a comment naming the correct City player involved, which Clive sometimes picks up on...

It depends if Hamer signs a new extended contract. If not I think we will look to sell him in the Summer.

Apart from the Cardiff game the others will also be on i follow in the UK for those that want to watch games with multi cameras and replays.

Where is Eccles? Wouldn't be too surprised if he ends up in the back 3. Think he's played there in the under 23's, and would rather have him as an option there than Dabo.

Can almost guarantee we will end up on the wrong end of it!

Would have been nice to have a few additions to fill out the squad but not losing Sheaf, Hamer, O'Hare or Gyokeres still gives us a shot at the play offs. Maybe a long shot and will need luck with injuries, but we are a proper team, where the players are comfortable in their roles within the...

It does look like a desperate throw of the dice on Bournemouth's part. Makes them look strong on paper, but that doesn't guarantee them anything. They've still got to gel those individuals into a team.

Their scorer seemed to attack the ball with studs up which is probably what made Moore a little hesitant in coming off his line.

Yes of course you are correct - Martin Singleton etc. Point is though that like them he needs a chance at sometime to prove if he can make it or not. He couldn't do much more than he has done in the under 23's to justify an opportunity to take the step up.

Do the dogs have high overtime rates?

When I was first going to City games young players were constantly thrown in to test them out, and that was in the top division. Sealey, Oakey, Thomas, Gillespie, Roberts, Dyson, Butterworth, Blair, Jacobs, Gooding, Hendrie, Thompson, Hateley, English, Bodak, Bannister etc all got chances in a...

Watching their goals back we lost our shape and concentration too easily for their second goal. Both McFadzean and Clarke-Salter got sucked in too far across the pitch watching the same player. Ideally Clarke-Salter should have been where Bidwell ended up losing out to Adomah. Moore should have...

Amazing how well we've done this season considering how crap Hamer and O'Hare have been! Seems like the boo boys need a replacement for Sheaf to keep them happy now his qualities seem to be getting finally recognised. If we lose either we will be weaker for it, particularly in the January window...

I wouldn't expect anyone else in before deadline day, but then who knows? There might be the odd PL loan on offer, a Derby freebie or Patterson angling a move from Swansea. Plenty for the rumour junkies to get excited about!

You are kind of right.We had the better of the first half but didn't capatalise and score. The second half started more evenly but the game was ultimately decided by substitutions. On the hour Gyokeres & Waghorn were replaced by Godden & Walker who struggled to have any impact & from then on QPR...

Letting Walker go without bringing in a replacement seems a risky strategy. A repeat of last season where injuries left us with a half fit Biamou as our only forward option could leave us screwed.

I struggle a bit with the Middlesbrough claim. They would have still had to beat 3 other teams, all of whom had been better through the season. They were no shoe in to go up. Wycombe perhaps have more of a case, but even then their argument should be more with the EFL than Derby, given it was...

Nearly everyone believing Blackburn are the real thing by the looks of it. A lot of questions around them though. Will Brereton still be with them after January? Will Mowbray defy his career pattern of managing teams that fade away? They obviously have a decent chance because of the position...

Mark Draper was a Notts player, and quite a legendary one too. I met Colin Slater once so I know who he was and the esteem in which he was held by Notts supporters. I'm actually more surprised a Notts fan wouldn't know the difference between the two rather than by Clive Eakin's confusion!

Was slightly embarrassing when he gave his in game eulogy to the BBC Nottingham football reporter, Colin Draper. All well and good but his name was actually Colin Slater!
