Yes, also noticed Simpson got off the bench to put his arm round Benarous & have a word while he was on the touchline waiting to come on. Little things, but important & good to see. COYR

Yes, I used mine with my order last night. COYR

He looked a bit caught between to me. Wasn’t sure which man to mark, what positions to take up. No different to Bakinson before him, I put that down to formation & possibly having someone so young & inexperienced behind him. But worked hard & will gain from it. COYR

Really? Kept us in the game with some good saves when he needed to. COYR

That sentence alone is enough to put me off! COYR

First game back today since the pandemic. So hopefully a fresh start for City & the start of a home winning run of games. COYR

A friend of mine who is a Norwich fan scouted for them in the Southwest. This came about after Norwich got relegated (possibly early 2000’s) from the Premiership. He actually made contact with them to offer his services, which they accepted. They then sent him to various games to watch certain players & he had to fill out a report on these players. Which included strengths/weaknesses, & marking individual components of each individuals game. He would then hand in the reports & the club took over from there. It served as a base for the club to move forward or not on each individual. He enjoyed it, bumping in to various football people as well as helping his club. COYR

I would say doing ok was doing exactly that. We are average payers in this division, with probably just over average attendances. I would say we had one very good season, followed by average to good seasons. Now we are an absolute shambles & that isn’t based on playing any of the top teams in this division ( for example Forest ). Fresh faces needed I agree, but we are told this lot have a great attitude & are fitter than ever! COYR

Genuine question. If those signings/players are so bad, how did we generally do ok? COYR

Can an account being deleted for inactivity? COYR

Give it a few weeks & if results don’t pick up, it will. I’ll add another one, Niger’s little smirk/laugh after he says something will soon start bothering people! COYR

Could do with him possibly? COYR

Seem to remember a friend of mine playing for Keynsham against City in an orange kit one pre season a few years ago. COYR

This is getting a bit to cryptic now! COYR

Roy Hodgson? COYR

I would say he was ahead of all 3 that you have mentioned. His balance, touch & vision were above anything I’ve seen in a City shirt, but I accept consistency was his problem. But on their day, him & Cole were unplayable. We saw him on his way down in some ways, but before us he played in a World Cup, scored goals in European competition. His well documented off field habits are what held him back imo. Im fairly sure when he was with us Aston Villa were having a look, but nothing ever came of it obviously. My favourite player of all time, so might be a bit biased! COYR

Big fan of Scotty the player & on a personal note, but not even close to Jacki in terms of skill. This guy played in a World Cup & scored goals in a European competition. He is what kids go and watch football for, he’s the one they want to emulate in the playground. Yes we had him after his peak in someways, but when someone of Cole’s stature says that he’s one of the most skilled players he ever played, maybe he might be onto something. Players like that are very few & far in between, but I’m glad I got to watch him. COYR

I was thinking the same. So they are over paying & not achieving...... Happy Days! COYR

You don’t think Covid has anything to do with scratching around for free transfers? He wasn’t perfect, but that’s quite some statement. It also baffles me that Holdens reign has somehow been deleted from history! COYR

No you’re not. Hope he has learned from some of his mistakes at City & improves. Hope Sunderland win the league & get promoted personally. He did a lot more good than bad for City & just don’t get the vitriol he sometimes receives on here. Decent bloke & as you said, was genuinely honoured to be manager of this club. COYR

Yeah, the new owner is a young billionaires son I believe. COYR

Have to agree. Good movement, good touch, good awareness and a decent turn of pace. If he is OOC this summer & has a relatively injury free season, we could do a lot worse. One of my favourite City strikers of recent seasons, my sort of striker. COYR

Got to say, wish we had their front two. COYR

Yep. Turned on about 10 minutes ago to see exactly what I remember, good movement, good touch, good awareness. Big fan of Beniks. COYR

And only has one foot! COYR
