You can’t take Scott and Conway out and not replace that quality. Get on with it

We have been awful in every league game, let’s be honest. Millwall would have been a 0.0 bore draw

It’s worrying, all the League 1 and 2 friendly opponents was laughable really. Same as last season. At least we would win that league! Could be a good thing to rebuild all joking aside!

I agree completely. Bell has a good burst of pace but he lacks anything else, the front 6 are so non threatening, where is this pace that Nigel keeps referring to? And don’t get me started on Pring and Tanner, neither deserve to play at present, Tanner in particular. So poor, they don’t even move! We’ve got big problems and League One and the academy can’t be the only solutions. I’ve said before, Tinnion signed Grant Smith, Matt Heywood et al, let’s be serious.

Well done to Birmingham, a well drilled side who also have guile, strength, creativity and pace. Everything we lack. Been to each game this season and we are so poor, our front 6 aside from Conway are not good enough to push above our usual 14th to 18th and we must have the most static, non creative midfield in the league. Get to the market now and sort this or let’s hope for another Tom Brady to finally take this club forward and create some excitement.

Great deal for Hull, sort of loan we should have been exploring.

Gary Owers is a city legend, I loved his hard working performances in 97/98, particularly that header he scored in the Walsall final home game and his passion. Top guy. Underrated too.

Naismith is pure class, a level above Joe W, needs to start when fit.

I don’t live far from Ipswich and can tell you now, their fans are very confident this season, they have an excellent high energy side and Portman Road is difficult for people to get tickets, close to 30K today. £8M bid for Armstrong at Saints being lined up.

Both class, really impressive.

Great win today, no doubt we are a hard working side and defensively the best we’ve looked in many years, Zak and Rob were superb again, Roberts for me looks a step ahead of Cam for now, albeit Cam defended well first half. McCrorie coming back will make a difference too, feel he and Roberts will give more energetic attacking threat for us. Naismith and Mehmeti were positive as subs, Mehmeti has such different qualities to anyone else and Naismith is just a class footballer, great attitude and so calm under pressure, we were more fluid after those changes. If we can add another CM and a powerful striker to really lead that line we are in a good place.

He says the same all the time. I thought it was poor of him to say we have a better squad than Luton. Does he realise how powerful and driven Luton were as a team, they deserved to go up and were in play offs season before. Again as I’ve said before, you get the feeling not a lot of love for the manager. If we aren’t in and around it October/November don’t be surprised if he makes a change.

Hang on, I am not criticising Nige, I’m a big fan of his. I am just saying what it feels like. I’m not the only person who has been saying that on here. I’ll move on.

He needs to move on from that, this season is his last chance, unless we really push top 6 I cannot see SL renewing his contract, not saying I agree with that but I just don’t feel the connectivity from board to management, could be wrong of course. Clubs who do well use the loan market. It’s crazy not to, we have enough assets already.

It’s an interesting one for sure, but he could fill so many roles, left wing, Attacking CM, maybe free up Bell to play as a striker or right wing. I think it’s a no brainer surely if Hull can afford him.

A Hull journo has tweeted that Hull are in talks over a loan move for Twine, surely we should be all over this and can compete.

SL will give some money you feel, think we want a CM and striker. Surely we can get a keeper too for a decent wage.

All joking aside, a super player and well done to him.

Offered zilch. Move on

Was he that good? Just saying…….no goals…:rare assist, lovely pirouette, great deal!

I don’t think Nige and Tins are the issue here, they will both have targets, it’s just whether it is signed off. Let’s wait and see what happens in next three weeks.

We did go for it in 2019/20, look at the cash LJ splashed, £4M Wells, £4M Palmer, £8M Kalas, £2M JD, Massengo, Nagy etc approx £5M, Bentley £2M approx. Imagine if Nigel was given that backing and what financial return have we had for that outlay? £0! Ashton and LJ were the wrong people at the right time sadly. I have to give SL credit there, he didn’t pocket any of the Webster/Kelly deal, re-invested it, we just bought badly.

SL talks about the PL all the time, as does all of our PR. Reality is can you really see us getting there under him? Luton, Blackpool, Brentford, Bournemouth, Barnsley have all done it, all smaller clubs than City. He invested far too much time in the Johnson family IMO, then made the Fawthrop, Millen, Tinnion mistake again with Holden. Didn’t back Cotts after all he did that season prior to get the board out of the mess from the previous champ era ending, he finally has someone at the club who knows how to build for success and you just get the feeling we will throw it away. I know well that in 2016 after we sacked Cotts, Warnock wanted the City job, I was at Charlton and my heart sank when I heard LJ had been appointed. Warnock went to Rotherham, performed a miracle and then did the same at Cardiff next year with a 2nd placed finish spending half of what LJ had at City. Had we appointed Warnock we would for sure had been promoted by now, or at the very least a couple of play off finishes. The point I am making is the Nige and Warnock’s of the world know how to run a club at this level to achieve success, but for our board you seem to get the impression to be too outspoken.

Difference is LJ rarely made a good signing and spent the majority of what we brought in, hence the disaster of the past two years moving them out.

Good post, was saying to a mate earlier this reminds me of Cotts post opening day defeat to Sheff Wed and then Brentford with the whole Gayle and Gray saga. LJ was a yes person hence why he was liked.
