That was a fantastic counter attacking goal......FANTASTIC!!!!

I highly rate both Hyam and Rose - but would prefer one of them to be paired with McFad. We miss his aerial dominance and leadership. Marosi worries me on crosses. Bring on O'Hare for Westbrooke. Hiwula bright early start - but we need to sort out what's happening on our left defensive side...

Nick Proschwitz on loan. Amazingly three years before us he was signed by Hull for £2.6 million. Last heard of being sacked by SC Paderborn 07 for exposing himself to a woman after a late night drinking session.

Good points Terry. I would say that Ndlovu was absolutely sensational but I would classify him more as an inside forward - funnily enough he would actually fit perfectly in our current 4-3-3. I see Hadji more as an attacking midfielder in a midfield 3. Hadji was an absolute gentleman and a...

Thanks for sharing Shepardo - always really interested in stories like yours. I don't think most people realise how competitive non-league football is and just how good you have to be. Fantastic to hear that you got back into the game after your illness - kudos to you.

Absolutely right Terry - still amazes me as I remember Waddle vs. Downs in a previous league game at HR. Waddle dominated the game and if Downsy was a boxer the fight would have been called off to save him further punishment. As for the Cup final, Bennett was the stand out forward on the pitch...

All opinions 'City Away Kit' - I would say that Sedgley was one of the 'over achievers' given his career after leaving us. I never had him marked down to be a super star in the game as a youth but he did very well for himself.

Can we start a fund and distribute in industrial size quantities to those who have a serious mental break-down on here whenever we go 1-0 down on match days?

Not sure what others think - but in my view Richie Partridge was not managed at all well by McAllister. Richie was so brilliant in his start with us that he was effectively double marked in games after that. And was targeted by the opposition with the treatment - heavy challenges. As he was...

Lee Hurst. If only we could turn the clock back and have the coach break down on the trip to the army camp. Gouldy had lots of passion but putting the lads over an army obstacle course in pre-season was not one of his better ideas. Can you imagine Prem teams today making first teamers jump...

Love the 500-1! I met Downsy at a private house party around 1986 - I was a youngster. Whilst Killer and the lads were going mental and dancing to Michael Jackson - Killer nearly broke a chandelier and he was only warming up - Downsy was very happy to share a quiet beer with my Dad in the...

Half of the team under Slade looked as if they'd been stabbed in both legs immediately before kick off. Didn't prevent them from being picked week after week.

That's an interesting one. Older heads than mine will remember better than me but as someone very young I remember the HR faithful not altogether being that appreciative of Bodak. Although he looks brilliant on the highlight reels - I remember him as a luxury type player (sort of a Cov Le...

Laughing out loud!

No idea if it was related to the injury and long lay off but my impression last season was that Brown was very suspect in his positioning and given that was prone to dive in very dangerously. I always expected one major error a game - as others pointed out that really cost us on a couple of...

Probably the bloke who on a thread last week wanted us to be like Millwall - screaming abuse for 90 minutes - at our own players.

I think that was all about being totally desperate for cash - McGinnity era? I got the impression it was a very bad experience for Connor all round.

That's a great insight - thanks for sharing that shepardo. My only memory of Ducros is watching him away at Upton Park - a tough place to play against a team with a few big name signings and seemingly on the rise. Did you go on and play after Chesterfield if I can ask?

Big fan of the City ground as well.

Tommy English freaked me out as a youngster. Coming from the Bedworth 'side of the woods' blokes didn't dye their hair. It was unheard of. Tommy English turned up to a new season with a bleach job - didn't understand who it even was on the pitch for some minutes.
