And whether HNM is able to play…. Midfield looking very light all of a sudden

I would imagine that they would be signing him for him to be included in their 1st team squad this season

Didn’t Nige suggest that he was recovering well/ahead of time a few weeks ago? Antoine himself indicated similar at the open training session - I’d therefore be surprised if an op was needed. I can see this one progressing over the next two weeks - just hope City have replacement lined up ‘cos we will need to replace him if he goes…

You’d expect Nige to get a bit of the money (2-3m?) and that we’d have someone lined-up if he did go

Would make sense to rotate the starting 11…..our biggest challenge will be midfield if Williams doesn’t play consecutive games on the basis that MJ is still out and HNM must be a doubt, having missed out today May be a case of “needs must” on Tuesday for Williams

Not too sure what he was doing with todays goal we conceded? ? Like DB but seemed at fault today?

Good post @GrahamC ?

Spot on @Davefevs ?

Never a truer word spoken @Port Said Red - some “supporters” on here and unbelievable!

The situations are totally different #chalkandcheese LJ spent what he wanted……Nige has spent less than £2m Johnson and Ashton are the reasons we are in such a mess still…..

Why am I not surprised to see yet another “Pearson” thread tonight! ? I would have taken a point before todays game, enabling us to build on Wednesday nights result. Let’s not forget, Wigan made 11 changes on Tuesday and had an extra 24 hours to prepare for todays game in stifling conditions. Our “supporters” need to have a look at what he inherited and the restrictions he’s working under! Whilst I’m as frustrated as everyone else by our start, having led on all three games, we ain’t that far away from being an “OK” side this season and I for one, am happy that we maintain our Championship status. Get Semenyo and Kalas back (2 of our best players) and the DF Midfielder we need and we will be absolutely fine. Having said that, we need to get our home season off and running on Tuesday now. COYRs

Nige’s interview suggests that it just wasn’t worth risking him today as he will be needed on Tuesday

Be interesting to see the reason why - bid made for him?

Anyone a tad concerned that we could get some bids for Andi this month?

I’d hope to see Kalas and Klose given a game/start tomorrow, as alongside Naismith, think that this will be our best back 3 if we are going to continue with the same formation (which I think we will). Lets give Wilson a start too….. We are likely to see Williams given a rest and so stick AS in there. Up top, reckon Wells will start. As for the others in the team, not overly fussed what Nige does tomorrow

You don’t see the game being switched to AG @Davefevs?

Kalas, Naismith and Atkinson/Klose is a quality back 3 at this level. As others have said, KN made a big mistake for their 1st goal but was OK after that. Losing Matty James minutes before KO will have undoubtedly, impacted our prep. The next two league games have grown in importance all of a sudden

Less than 100 left now ?

Contract up next summer

Wonder how many they’ve sold so far? Tickets still on sale on their website but no indication on how many sold/left

Good move for him and good news for us…..£300k is welcome news ?

Even their player, Seri has said that if VAR was used yesterday, their penalty would have been over-turned! Says it all…..at least City will probably get a letter of apology from the EFL (again!) this week to apologise for the poor decision! As you say…..let’s go get a win vs Sunderland next Saturday ?

At what point are the officials going to start being made accountable for not performing to an acceptable standard?

Wow, wow, wow - what an absolute disgrace that decision was!

Great news - if this is the case, should get to 24,000 by a week on Saturday ?
