Yep - well known - Juggy played nice and gently with him this evening, then tried to get a gentle bite (he only nibbled with a "we're here to talk about the Sky Blues") with a reference to Tranmere.

Eakin has gold medals for being a cock. Never asks the hard questions we want and if you listen to his commentary he gets more excited when they attack than city.
Gets very arsey when put to rights then cuts them off. Another arse licker on the same bandwaggon as Oggy who continues to draw the big money even though we have been a complete failure under numerous managers and owners.:thinking about:

Wonder if over time if you're having to watch every game another team plays you start caring about them more than your own team. It sounds like something you would dismiss and say that will never happen but how long has Linnell being covering our games now? Got to be getting on for 30 years. Be hard to follow a team for that long and not develop a connection I would have thought.

Isn't it amazing how someone can make a living for so many years doing something they are not very good at.

I caught Eakins commentary on the wasps and he was very excited more so than the city... Not hard I suppose?
Ref Oggy is he the right man to be goal keeping coach?
I heard TMs comments about burgh and the positioning of his wall and where he was standing, surely that's down to Oggy?
I got the feeling Oggy won't be here for much longer

I know Oggy is 'City through and through' but he has been part of the backroom team throughout all of City's dismal decline.
Now that might just be a coincidence of course, but maybe it's time to completely freshen things up across the board and as Ecky says, positioning at a wall should be a very basic for a goalkeeping coach to instill in the keepers he's working with.

Sorry but what wtf has Oggy to do with things, he is the goalie coach and surely cannot be blamed for all goalkeeping mistakes, Burge made a superb one handed save the other night so was that down to Oggy's coaching. I think generally the last 2 matches Burge has handled okay, can't comment about the 2 free-kicks and it's walls but both free kicks should never have happened. Doesn't mean I am 100% happy with our goalkeeping situationGets very arsey when put to rights then cuts them off.

As for the Oggy comments looks to me like some on here are looking for a scapegoat.

Positioning for free-kicks you would have thought had been coached by Oggy. Either Oggy didn't teach Burge very well, or Burge didn't learn the instruction properly.
Don't think people are looking for a scapegoat to be honest. It's just a fact that Oggy has been involved here with the club throughout our demise. As I say, that 's probably just a coincidence, but sometimes to move forwards in life you need to sweep away all the old cobwebs and start afresh,

Both free kicks where central and right in the "D" couldn't have been in a more dangerous positions. See those scored all the time in the Prem. don't think the various goalkeeping coaches are sacked everytime a goals' scored though.

Nope, but Oggy's been he a long, long time and ...... well, I'm not one to tell tales, so let's just leave it at that.

Think I know what you are referring to, all I'm saying sacking Oggy will not improve our current situation one iota, should Mowbary decide to change things he will in time. Interestingly Dean Kieley who worked with TM at West Brom and Middlesbrough has just taken up a post at Norwich I think.

Yeh but them prem goals are down to sublime free kicks that get up and over the wall...not a lot you can do about those when they come off.
These are down to fundamental errors in the basics of lining up a wall....I get your point but it's different and you know it

Throughout all the problems we've had in recent years goalkeeping has been the least of them. In fact how many times have we talked about how many points Westwood or Murphy have saved us. Both of those improved under Oggy. Even if you look at this season Allsop improved dramatically and Burge has been much better since he's come into the side, something many people were dreading.

the thread started about eakin & has veered off towards oggy ?
during the match today eakin has mentioned that we're playing colchester ?
he also finds it more important to talk about the colour of players boots
