Jeez

Commented that he seemed an underwhelming signing at the time, but many on here were really happy with it, like really happy. Thought he did well Saturday against Blackpool but TBH they were a poor side. Like everyone else, I really do hope he comes good, he's more mobile than Martin but doesn't seem to be in the right place yet to get on the end of anything & this might come with time. What sort of forward is he? I think it's not yet clear what his role is in the team & this is where Pearson needs to demonstrate why he signed him. Still feel the same tho - underwhelmed really. No scapegoating as I loathe that on here just nothing has changed for me yet. However, I absolutely want him to succeed & my opinion to be altered.

Amazing you experienced that gig Sir - been trying for years to get a high res image to blow up, print & frame. It's a such fascinating combination of an iconic image in a place we call home.

I don't understand the club's obsession with designing "original" or "nostalgic" kits & training wear, it's not like there particularly good at it. Almost seems like they do it for the sake of it. Surely the club would sell far more City-branded Castore kits that are on-trend in cut & finish than some hokey Gaelic football brand designed by Jon Lansdown - just goes to show money can't buy taste. Castore arent stupid & wouldn't let him loose on the design process. I get the impression that Hummel had a fair bit of input into the design process to keep it from going too far off track as it had its brand on there, whereas this feels like it could have been created in a bad episode of the apprentice.

It's definitely not a shower

Would love to get hold of a hi-res image of this:

The whole thing looks very non league.

I get being pleased with a point away philosophy especially with our injuries. But we won’t play any worse teams than Huddersfield tonight and that should be a concern even if we moved the ball well. We needed to sign a different type of striker to what we have to replace Martin in Jan. Hoping Cornick will find his feet with us but doesn’t offer a different or more physical threat to the rest of our strike force.

So frustrating to watch, we’re playing well but without any end product.

Had to Sphincter about that for a minute.

I would say Bell’s was a tap in. Albeit a tricky one but Wells would have slotted it in.

Huddersfield are crap, we should be 2 up already.

Tanner = protection Sykes = gives us more than Cornick going forward.

Frustrating game with players knackered after Man city but would have started 100% Wells. Maybe a controversial opinion but I would have been tempted to bring on King to replace injured Williams and leave Scott to play further forward.

You’re getting silly now mate

Wells for Bell i understood Taking off tanner & moving Sykes back to get Cornick on didn’t make sense to me.

Knowing City, we’ll make a run but finish 7th.

Not an aspirational Brand by any stretch, but the launch video implies all made in UK. If so the club should be applauded for supporting UK manufacturing.

Can’t understand why we didn’t start the strongest team & rest them 2nd half. Started well, some decent touches & attempts but way below recent standards, although TBF Wigan dug in & made it difficult. Bell & Sykes not given enough time to affect the game when coming on. Hard to say it but didn’t rate Weimann tonight. Cornick good touches and worked hard in the press but felt erratic in possession. Frustrating game where we should have done better. Mehmetti looks a baller

Tonight's the night fellow Reds even the bookies can feel it.

Had season tickets in same seats other end of end of the stand. It’s fine but you need to stand up for some of the corners, we moved as it was a bit annoying but would be fine for the odd match.

It was great to bring on 3 pacey forwards at the 60 min mark, something we’ve missed & no doubt this relentless pressure won us the game. Saw enough from HC today to feel confident with what he can add to the team.
