A total stranger in a thread of Facebook comments pointed out that the current City assistant is Craig Fleming, who worked for us under Ralph. Possible he's there to catch up with an old mate?

Ryan Manning dribbling forwards in the opposition half literally looking over his shoulder for a backwards pass 😆 so bad. Runs into a defender and the ball goes backwards. Phew!

Brilliant finish. Charles looks better every game.

wouldn't that be in an increase in visibility? 😆

Morris looks a very good signing for Derby, best of the 3 you mentioned (though I agree all would have improved our team substantially). I find it hard to believe we aren't a more attractive prospect than Derby - so very frustrating we weren't in for him. I think we should start flexing our supposed financial muscle and taking the best players off clubs around us.

I would like large portions of our squad to spend ten years in a Siberian labour camp. Is that an option?

I think in January we need to spend some cash on a genuine ball winning and holding centre forward. He doesn’t even need to score a bag, just give some purpose to our balls into the box.

forget the practicalities of wages etc, in a general sense, would people prefer JWP or Downes? genuinely interested to hear what people think about that.

ha, that is definitely true. I just feel the little moments where he gets the ball, he has a good touch, makes a smart and simple decision, and then after 0.0001 seconds we shit ourselves again.

Fraser does bring a certain calmness and simplicity to the team's play when he comes on. Maybe he is a lucky charm.

Agree, for his faults it's clear he brings something different to the team, and not much is said about all the chances he sniffs out early through his pace. Also remember he is a year younger than Ronnie Edwards!!

Danny's got a lovely full head of hair, that's what a couple seasons on the bench in the PL can get you

stewart looks absolutely gassed, most minutes in a week for him in a long time I guess? think I'd swap him just for fresh hassling legs and to let him recover.

I don't think any of our players would finish that chance. Game plan of 4,000 passes between the CBs for some reason not working. Jander, Charles, Manning and Fellows need to present much much earlier for the ball. Think Manning is one of the most static full backs i've ever seen.

off to Goztepe with ye

Isn't that what people said about Ralph while Rohl was his assistant manager? And indeed Erwin about Ronnie! Maybe we need to be focusing more on assistant manager recruitment

I don’t think we’ve retained possession from a throw all season 😅

The problem is it’s taken him 4 appearances to actually get a touch 😆 and yet despite that he does somehow look not terrible and I have hope. good summary 🙏

Next job in football television rather than football coaching I suspect

Your balance and reason are not welcome here sir, take them and go

Agree, and he can be 3rd keeper for cup matches if we want to give Baz a rest, so he still gets first team experience.

Very funny to talk about other people forgetting things when you have the wrong player 😆

Who is more divisive - Puel or Martin? I remember the Puel thread running for months and months after he got the sack, will rusty beat his record??

Is this referring to our Ginger Bollocks? Did he do anything MJ like? They are very critical of both teams, but it is possible it was scrappy because we were equal in quality to each other. We will see if that shared quality is higher than most of the league pretty soon. I think Stoke may find the game against us a significant step up from the shite they have faced so far.

he is absolutely allergic to a forward pass.
