On the other side of this, Peter Ndlovu played against us on a pre-season tour. And I think (happy to be corrected) that Boateng played against us in a pre-season friendly before signing. Two of our most iconic players. We get lucky sometimes!

Even the best strikers miss easy opportunities sometimes. Ronnie Rosenthal mentioned above as an example - he was an elite striker in an elite Liverpool team. When that Liverpool team ran riot and beat us 6-0 at home or something similar; Rosenthal was simply unplayable. In our team this...

Baka looks much better playing in a 2 vs. the single striker role. The Max/Baka partnership was showing some promise. I would prefer 2 up front in a 3-5-2 to be honest vs. the formation we played Saturday. Max/Godden probably first choice in the 2 with Baka off the bench. I would also like...

'Bettered.' Too much time listening to Benno's pissed up musings on the radio pusb! And technically these days Bayliss can only be referred to by his official full name. 10 Bags Bayliss.

Correction: It's Zainbrooke. Just to make sure everyone knows who you are talking about.

'We didn't need Moldavan' shows both how brilliant our forward line was in that era and unfortunately also how far we have fallen since those glory days!

Agreed Adge. If only we'd had a top class coach we really could have done something with those players.

I see what you are saying Bucks and Sky Blue Pete. Normally I'm a real advocate for professionalism, research and being prepared in any job. But in this case there's something that's just entertaining and infectious about Benno's commentary - he's always upbeat and finds entertainment in the...

A fit Kevin Drinkell always looked good against us when he was at Norwich. Unfortunately we got the crocked one.

Bursting forward at pace from the half way line and beating 5-6 men was certainly reminiscent of the Maradona classic. The finish was even more spectacular.

Grendel it was all going so well and positive until the final line! It's far too harsh. Godden, Max and Jones are more than good enough as forwards in this division - particularly if they are supported by O'Hare in a number 10 role. So we have lots of hope - can't wait as an example to see...

As he made a really positive contribution in his cameo role, changed our tempo, added pace and pressed Rochdale - not giving their defenders time to transition the ball forward. I judge subs on the influence they have on the game in the time they are on the pitch. Are you suggesting we mark...

ccfway - you must have been waiting years to find an opportunity for that David Brent reference - good stuff!

'The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you got to put up with the rain.' Dolly knows what it's like to be a Cov fan. This must be completely mystifying for anyone who didn't listen to CWR today!

I'll defend that one ccfway if I can. First half, Drysdale terrible back pass which should have resulted in a certain goal. A couple of minutes later completely out of position and outpaced for Rochdale's first. I completely get it that Drysdale is a kid in one of his first games for us but I...

Clive. 7. I admit it. I like him. Clearly is passionate about the team and does his homework. He's also less excitable these days (prior to this season he would go mental if the oppo got the ball 30 yards from goal which made listening to the commentary on the radio in days gone by a...

Agree with that as well. I just have a preference for keepers that catch vs. punch crosses - it's what I loved about Stockdale. But you are right Marosi was very decent again and he's been a great addition. Shipley always looks better to me when I see him live vs. on I-follow. Don't think...

Did anyone see the 10 man pile-on on Walsh after the goal. Brilliant!!!! Spirit of the team = 10. And as Grendel I think said - the support from the stands in the second half - good stuff as well.

I agree with you SSB. It's just that I can't recall a City player picking up the ball on half way and running past 6 players before burying it in the corner - as someone said earlier that was similar to the Maradona 86 goal. Also had elements of Owen, France 98 and even Ricky Villa, FA Cup...

Marosi 7. Decent. Punched a few he could have caught. Dabo 7. Typically energetic. Important for us. Attitude and aggression. Rose 7. Assured. Hyam 7. Assured. Drysdale 5. Shaky first half. Out paced. Decent second. Mason 8. I actually prefer him to McCallum. Eccles 6. Decent second half...
