Super Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Both playing in an Ipswich team in the top 6 of the Championship. Funny how neither were considered good enough for City by some on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Gerken wasn't very good for us, would you disagree Super? Also taking a bit of a pasting on TalkSPORT for Forest's equaliser today, MOTWYW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P'head Red Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Give it a rest ffs. Both were very average championship players for us. Happy for them if they are playing well now. Don't dwell on the past.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't dwell on the past.. Pretty much my view. Didn't rate either too much for us - definitely Gerken - but they are gone now so good luck to them. Nothing to do with us anymore.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Both playing in an Ipswich team in the top 6 of the Championship. Funny how neither were considered good enough for City by some on here! Gerken never got a fair crack here, made even worse with the signing of James. But for me Skuse got decidedly worse season on season, towards the end of his career here he was part of the worst midfield going... constantly allowing attack minded players to ghost past him. Clearly a change of scenery has done both of them the power of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't dwell on the past..They may have been average Championship players, but if we'd had another 9 average Championship players, City would still be an average Championship team instead of being in league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodburyred Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 They may have been average Championship players, but if we'd had another 9 average Championship players, City would still be an average Championship team instead of being in league 1 To be fair we did have 8 other average championship players and 1 good championship player. Just for some reason they were a poor team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Some City fans forget that Cole Skuse was Citys player of the season not so long ago. Now he's in the Championship league team. Not bad at all. Now who was it who thought he was crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 To be fair we did have 8 other average championship players and 1 good championship player. Just for some reason they were a poor team. Very true, for whatever reason, I would say mainly poor management combined with lack of confidence, as a team they were poor. If I assume that Albert is the "good" championship player, the following players left at the end of, or during, the relegation season and all played in the championship last season. Staying with Ipswich, Anderson. Add to that Heaton (now prem), Stead, Davies, Pitman, Nyantanga, and Woolford. Plus we had Baldock (now championship) and Fonts, whose confidence was shot - but he played in The Championship last season, also Carey, Cunningham and Maloney were no strangers to that level of football. Bolasie left early in the season so doesn't really count. You could also point at the very quick turnaround in fortunes since SC arrived, he transformed our fortunes with only a little tinkering around in 2nd half of last season. You may think this is another dig at SOD, and yes it is, having said that he recruited some decent players - JET, Wiliams, Flint, Osborne - he just couldn't get it to work.

One BCFC Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I wouldnt have Skuse in our midfield now if I am honest and some were biased as he was an academy product, what did he really do in 8 years as a pro at City? Not much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockleazeRed Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Skuse became totally ineffective here and rightly moved on for the benefit of himself and BCFC. In that respect, he was crap towards the end of his time here and just going through the motions. Very lazy with his career imo and should have moved on years ago - he should be at a higher level than Ipswich by now, he had it in him. Some would call that "laziness" loyalty though surely? You see a large amount of people (myself included) lamenting that people don't stay with a club for long periods anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
