I always imagine his team talks as manager were the same. However, when instead of Pele and Ossie Ardiles you’ve got Rodney McAree and Colin Loss staring back at you, then the sentiment may be a touch misguided… 5 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) It’s possible I’ve misremembered but I recall going to Bramall Lane in 1994 and we lost 3-0 to Sheffield United. That definitely happened but I have a horrible recollection the side had Mitchell or Harriott and Humphries (not Glenn) as fullbacks, Loss, McAree, McKop, Wyatt and Scot Paterson in the squad and Robinson leading the line. I may have just bundled all the crap together but I remember it being the worst City team I’d seen up to - and since - that point Edited January 3, 2023 by Silvio Dante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just about put together a half decent team if the best 11 of those were all fit, but then the quality falls off a cliff. You certainly wouldn’t be making any tactical substitutions based on that lot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I think Dennis Smith brought in Brian Mitchell (or am I getting mixed up), either way, it sent a shiver down my spine remembering it all. I was one of the sad souls still turning up and witnessed the booing of Russell Osman when he scored, it was all around the ground! and shocked him. I cannot remember if I joined in (I dont recall doing so!), but it was some of the worst football I had every seen.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Stuart Munro was a good player. He doesn't deserve to be on the list. Think it was under Osman went to a game and it was matt Bryant and Ian Baird upfront.... Bryant got motm and Kerry Dixon was playing for Luton that Day, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the booing was directly related to him releasing Dziekanowski who if i remember correctly gave a farewell speech over the pa either before that game or at half time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 One of Keith Welch's best games for us we went to Bolton early season with a good crowd. And they had a Very good team that was a cracking game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Osman used to get his Sunday Papers from the guy on Whiteladies road at the time, when he joined as a player he was already boasting about how he would become manager. He was an operator that bloke, worked away to undermine the management at the time. Jacki was a threat, hence his release. I used to think that any player who spent so much time on his coiffured hair was dodgy, however nowadays they all spend too much time on their grooming regimes ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Interesting recollections of a dire period (Liverpool FA Cup games aside, of course) It makes you wonder thoughwith that utterly dire squad and his lack of management skills, how he managed a record no worse than of the bloke who's currently in charge here.! And yes, the booing when he scored was directly related to his decision to release Jacki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Liam Robinson and Ian Baird. Not the most popular frontline, think it was the following season remarking Robinson's playing well he won't score as long as I got a hole in my ass, you can guess the rest..

I think we can give him a pass. Stuart Munro I recall being reasonable, if not outstanding. Compared to other team members at the time, he was absolutely golden. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreedyHarry Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Richard Dryden. He brings back some very bad memories. Remember once in the Atyeo/Dolman corner he managed two or three touches in succession each greeted with massive cheers and a round of “one Richard Dryden” followed by everybody falling about in laughter.
