Last 15 games we’ve got 18 points 

Last 9 games we have conceded at least 2 goals. It don’t bode well.

Only need about 7 points from 16 games!

That’s a big ask for this lot.

Disagree, watch from 29-31 seconds, the scorer is pretty much standing on Vyner's toes, then pulls away with Vyner seeming totally oblivious to the movement, if Vyner moves to follow, then the space for that shot goes. Kalas was too far away and had his back to what was going on, yes he could have waited before attacking the ball, but the closest player failed to track the movement in front of him. 

I get that Vyner is not a combative player nor is he someone that's going to win a header, but you can defend by reading and denying space, and that appears to be lacking.  I certainly wouldn't consider bringing him on as a sub in an attempt to park the bus in the last few minutes of a game, that's just asking for trouble

Totally agree, bringing on Vyner to try and see a game out is definitely asking for trouble.

From what I see, Vyner is not good enough for the championship.

Scorer pulled away from Vyner who let him ho. Simple.

I thought it might have been Vyner.

Simply not good enough for the championship.

However, Pearson will never get his FIFA coaching badge because he has never counted ‘box entries’

How many box entries did Bolton have today?

Max O’Leary consistently makes me nervous in between the sticks, controversial opinion but I think other keepers are saving there 2nd 

Where was the marking for their 2nd ?

You must remember Mccarthy goal and subsequent celebration then?

I think the stands are still shaking....

I remember a cock up with the Preston keeper and his defence and McCarthy stroked the ball in, but we conceded almost straight away. 
I also remember it was crazy with City supporters in fancy dress in the crappy stand on the side.

You’re right, it isn’t.

We never bought Sean McCarthy either, he was only on loan for 7 games.

I have a lot of time for him, unlike Jason Roberts (who we signed on loan at the same time but who had a row with Ward about playing for Grenada & buggered off after 3 games) McCarthy gave his best & even played in that Preston game despite his father passing away in the week. Not his fault we sold Goater, either.

Can’t imagine many loan players showing that sort of commitment these days.

Thanks for the update, I didn’t realise McCarthy had personal loss to deal with, I’m sorry for that.

what I do remember, is that I was at that Preston game.

If I can’t remember the facts, it’s time for me to leave this forum.

Apart from the fact that we did “get over the line” as we finished second & went up automatically.

It appears I got it all wrong. That must be the season we lost at Preston and Watford won at Fulham on the final day to be champions.

My memory is not what it was.

I think you’ll find we did get promoted that season.

Pesky Facts.

Was that the season we lost at Preston on the final day and Watford won at Fulham to be champions?

It was my 20th birthday and in the afternoon City gave me a birthday treat and in the intervening years, I've never had any gift so pleasing as this. Stood on the Open End, as each goal went in friends were shaking my hand and wishing me a happy birthday.

 

Proud to say, I never set foot and give a penny in those holes that are Eastville Stadium, Twerton Park and Memorial Stadium.

Bloody Lansdown, why don't 'e put his hand in 'is pocket and buy a striker?.

Because he foolishly believed in a rookie manager who did not reinvest wisely from the sales of Kodjia, Webster, Reid, Bryan, Kelly etc. assuming he was allowed.

He then brings in a proven manager who do not get substantial funds to invest.

It reminds me of a certain chairman who allowed the sale of Goater to Man City when in pole position for promotion and then bought McCarthy to get us over the line but failed. Should have kept Goater.

The player loads of city fans said wasn’t good enough and he then got sold for £30m.  Good comparison 

Did we get any share of the £30m?

Thought it was a great interview. Got a bit of zest back. 
 

Clearly, a very clever, deep thinking, determined and intelligent man. Maybe, belatedly our players are realising that and will now trust and support him. 

I don’t understand why people can’t see that. He is exactly that to me, give him a decent amount of funds in January and next summer and let’s see the real Nigel Pearson. 

Definitely on Sky sports red button.

I think Williams contributed to a much improved display by Callum O’Dowda today. He was looking for him at every opportunity which was good to see.

Lets hope Williams stays fit and helps others like he helped O’Dowda today.

Best player by a mile today. 

I believe he is our best player by a country mile, but it appears a lot of people believe we have the best keeper in the league.

I don’t understand the complete differences in our club and what led to them, prem level stadium and training ground yet we play like league one or two, how the board allowed this to happen I will never know 

The board are the problem in my eyes. They back a novice but don’t back someone with a proven record. 
 

Most of the players are just not good enough at Championship level.

The whole club is in a mess.

Pearson was giving him a lot of stick in the 2nd half. I think it is good for his development because he was drifting out of position at times. I like Tanner,Pring and Scott. I believe they will develop into very good players.

Ok, PPs and pandemic!  Hardly any money spent by non-PP clubs in the summer.  Fulham able to do deals like Harry Wilson on a season’s loan with obligation to buy for £12m.  It’s just widening the gap.

It’s up to clubs like City to close the gap. Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford were not given the payments, they earned it as clubs. City need to learn from their experience.

Is it time for SL to sell up . Obviously Covid and the millions he has spent are taking its toll . Plus his openness for investment. The club is stagnant at this present time. Who would like new ownership. 

Not a dig at SL by any means but I feel the club needs a new direction 

Totally agree.

I also believe the club needs a new direction.

I only debate with people who aren't a waste of oxygen. 

You actively sought an argument, you got one.

I didn’t sought an argument, I said our strikers miss sitters.

Lets leave it there. I am an experienced City supporter and you are someone who don’t like different views to your own.

Just now, JamesBCFC said:

Of course it does.

 

Go take a swim in some concrete boots.

If you watch the games you will see our strikers miss countless sitters. I agree the service could be better, but when the chances come, our strikers miss sitters. Scott against forest is prime example.

Forget about giving abuse to people who have a different view and concentrate on valid debates.

Ref's playing until we take the lead.

 

Which will be about 3 years from now.

Just confirms your childish attitude.
