steviestevieneville Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Watching the notts county v cov game and remember how brilliant Mark robbins was for us in his loan spell . 5 goals in 6 games if I remember correctly and was he on loan from Rotherham ?

He scored something like 5 in 7 games, Rotherham suddenly hiked the price up if we wanted him permanently, we wouldn’t pay it, so he went back. No “saving our ass” about it..

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Anyone remember a CB called Ireland that we got on loan from either Posh or Cobblers? He sticks in my memory as he was the first player I`d seen play for City who`s surname began with `I` (that letter was the only one I needed for a full set, I`m a hoot on long car journeys as I am sure you can tell) - it was before Iwulemo.

1960maaan Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Not read the thread so ignore my repetitions. Good loans at City, oxymoron (that is not a layer FYI). Oh Mark Robins was good, yeah Fleck I liked. Actually I think our problems used to start after a good loan , it was when we signed them, then they were shit. At least with shit loans it saves us in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedorDead BCFC Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Andy Cole for me, plus when he signed (which I don’t think most expected) lived up to his loan period.

22A Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Fifty years ago(ish). Alan Dicks loaned Brian Hill & Les Wilson. One was a defender, the other a midfielder and they helped City avoid relegation. Instead of congratulating Alan Dicks on his astuteness, i remember the EP printed an editorial stating that AD had used the system to gain an unfair advantage over City's relegation rivals.

Ska Junkie Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Cole was superb and always destined for bigger things as was Tammy. Tubby and Dinning were very good on loan but spoilt it when they signed permanently and turned to shit. Blackmore, Robbins and Fleck were also very good but Howells was different class.
