Wilson was so good today, I’m not surprised though.

Back from my Jaunt around the USA , fuckin brilliant, well done lad's PUSB

 

[TomRad85]

Natural talent now working directly with one of the best midfielders of his generation. Rudi and Frank are a match made in heaven.

Just sitting watching the replay it is coming across as very noisy.

fair play to the club for getting Kastaneer back to coach Rudoni 1to1

 

[Garlana86]

Been on it all day since the game so forgive my lateness, the obvious is Rodoni being immense, but BTA had the sub appearance of his season. Credit where it's due he was brilliant. Calling bta out in particular as he's been poor previously. He was brilliant today. Very happy for him.

The ball boy has just gone over

It was nice to see.

He clearly has pace and talent but - rather like Kasey Palmer - he needs to improve his consistency. If he can do that he will be a very valuable player for us.

MVE and Thomas are both out. Nothing on EMC

I've just seen this.

Fantastic day. Good performance, the intensity from the first whistle was exactly what was needed & what an incredible atmosphere.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

And no doubt our Wilson will be all at sea as well

I've just seen this.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Fox in the box needed

Rudoni.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Fuck off haji. Shit game from him today

He's forgotten how to pass a ball to a team mate.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I don't know what Rudoni had for breakfast this morning, but I've got to get some. Absolute monster today.

Class. I hope we can keep him.

 

[shmmeee]

Clueless

Bit harsh he’s an average championship defender.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Jack Rudoni is quite good at football isn’t he?

Yeah and remember what some people said about him when we signed him from Huddersfield.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

prawn sandwich legends lounge, we get some funny looks, but sang our bollocks off we always do

Yeah even the Balcony was Bouncing.

The crowd was awesome again.

 

[oscillatewildly]

We don't do 'bogey' clubs but if we did they would equal Middlesbrough & Blunderland - Undeniable fact.

To think that, a few months ago, many folk on this forum wanted Ruud van Nistelrooy as our manager rather than FL

In hindsight it always looks the right decision when it works out OK. Truth is , and many would agree, Robin's probably would have achieved a similar outcome. He was never going to languish at 17th with the squad he had. But it is what it is, change can be a good thing and add impetus and Frank has done exactly that. Time will tell on his measure of success. Robin's had 8 years with brilliant success and Frank been here a little over half a season. I admired Frank as a player and if he turns out to be half as good as a manager then we will have more exciting times ahead.

I liked the look of Hayden Hackney today, only 22, wouldn't mind if we went for him in the summer

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

I think Lesta should give Van Nostril a new 10 year contract,he's done a superb job.

Wow...... Delusional.

Robins would have turned things around, I'm sure.

But I can't see any way that we would have ended up in a similar position.

Maybe top 10 at best, but more likely, mid table.

I absolutely loved the bloke, but he was getting too stubborn and was beginning to get a little stale in his thinking.

Lampard has done a fabulous job. Robins would never have managed the same. And what the hell was going on with Kitching? Gone from left in the wilderness under Robins, to being almost undroppable with FL in charge.

They turned down offers from Porto in january

Robins would have certainly improved on 17th but let’s be honest here without Viveash he wasn’t looking the same manager.

Robins will always be a City legend but the vast majority of us have now moved on, those that haven’t seem to be those that wildly over reacted in the first place.

I would disagree slightly, because I was very vocal about Robins going and thought it was entirely wrong for him to be sacked. I am not so sure many at all, really wildly over reacted. There's always one or two that you get with everything, where they say "that's it, I am never going up again."

Always a few odd drama queens.

Anyway, for me, I was absolutely gutted when Robins went, but as soon as Lampard came in, I turned my focus on to him and started backing him.
Definitely moved on and now I don't even think about Robins much at all.

Glad he survived relegation with Stoke though. Want to see him do well (just not in the same division as us )
