When you absolutely, positively have to finish a chance from two yards out, accept no substitutes.

Can’t remember a fringe player hitting a run of form like this, I’m absolutely delighted for him. He oozes charisma as well.

I’ve loved his character and work rate from the start. I personally didn’t think he had it in him to show a little calm / composure when needed, but somehow he has found a way so far!

Always rated him. Found it odd when people were saying he had no technique.

He has been given a free role and was everywhere last night - including chasing back - add Rudoni to the pot and opposing teams dont know where to
Look

Awesome player, terrific bloke. Even most opponents seem to like him! Did anyone spot him cheekily loosening their keeper's glove just before a corner last night... made me laugh anyway, it was the sort of thing kids do when they're messing about. He clearly just loves playing.

And what an engine and a hunger for the game. Still at it after 97 minutes last night! BTA is very much on the way to legend status.

What a time to be a City fan.

Back to back 90s after being on international break is an amazing effort.

The way Franks rotated it would seem it's his turn to sit out next but you can't drop a man in this kind of form?!

He surely has the athleticism of a premier league player. Different level to anyone else on the pitch.

Wright will be hungry now to get back as top scorer in the league

Its to get away with taking performance enhancing drugs under the guise of a sprained wrist.

I joke of course, I think it is a preventative measure to protect against sprains. Although I think Yamal just does it because he thinks it looks cool

The BTA of last season doesn’t score that second goal. Always had a nice strike on him plus immense work rate. But now starting to show composure and decent decision making. He’s someone reaching for another level. He totally epitomises our team right now. I wonder how far he can go?

Very early days but hes got to be favourite for player of the season so far.
Hes the reason weve got a 100% win record without Rudoni.

You can tell his confidence is absolutely soaring. There is no way the BTA of last season scores that 1-on-1 or even attempts that shot that hit the crossbar.

Long may it continue.

In fairness, both BTA and Simms stepped up and won us games during our Jan-Feb form. The posters arguing we needed to sign a striker massively overlooked this.

In all seriousness, BTA and Simms would start for most Championship teams. I got a decent amount pushback for saying this in preseason too.

Fantastic guy to have in the squad. He always had the technique, but his decision making was often poor. Holding the ball too long, playing the wrong pass etc. Now the team is on a roll, I would imagine they are all bringing the best out of each other by making themselves available, calling for the right ball etc.

He still goes it alone a bit too often mind you!

So, from 'We should sell all the strikers and start again' in the summer, to we now have the best strikers in the division.
Hmm... maybe people on this site (myself included) know very much less than they would like to think?

Football fans are too easily governed by their immediate emotions.A player has a bad game = bad player and vice versa.

We know v little about the things going on behind doors like players carrying injuries and so on.

You had several posters saying Haji ‘can’t play in Lampard’s system’ and that we needed ‘a lump’ up front because of all the headers scored.

All what was needed was for FL and his team to have a preseason with players and get to get fitter and back to full health.

No worse than that. Rushworth shit, JDS shit, all the strikers shit, Tatsu can't play away, Torp slow and can only play 60mins, Thomas can't pass.
Eccles, Allen need to get rid.
The only player who has so far (and I do mean so far) who has not lived up to expectations is Brau.
