Robbored Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Walking back to the car last night I had a brief chat with a couple of Forest fans. They asked who our number 3 was and said they thought he was the best player on the pitch. They also thought that they were fortunate not lose and said if City play as well in the replay then we’ll beat them. Nice comments to hear from opposition fans. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Was average for the first half of the first half of the season but has really improved in the last 6 weeks. I don’t think he will leave this window and I’m not overly convinced he will leave next window either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he will leave this window and I’m not overly convinced he will leave next window either. I know what you mean, but I do think that's a little unfair . I think it's because he set fairly high standards last year that he hadn't reached until recently. The last few games he's exceeded those . I'd be surprised if bottom half Prem sides aren't watching him closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I like LM but Pring’s improvement under him could easily be coincidence. Pring under Pearson last season was excellent as well. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he will leave this window and I’m not overly convinced he will leave next window either. The guy behind me in the Lansdown reckons that Pring will go in the last few hours of the window for £7m. Hopefully he’s talking bollocks but it’s worrying that he’s been right before on players leaving City. Apparently other ‘bigger’ clubs including West Han are taking a keen interest in him.

And Its Smith Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Just now, 2015 said: He has been brilliant for the last 18 months Disagree with this. There have been runs of games where he hasn’t been brilliant although I don’t think he’s ever really been poor in that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Cam Pring was not even a bit part player until Pearson got here. He was always on loan and really couldn’t do much more than sixty minutes. One of the first things Pearson said was Cam didn’t really feel part of our squad. The rest is history. Well it is for the non goldfish. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 2.5 years left on his contract this would be disappointing. Should be looking to keep him until the summer at least and then renewing again. I can’t see Pring or Conway going this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player will have spells of having below par performances, but in the main Pring has been very good for a long time at City and almost every week is in contention to be the MOTM. I just don't agree it's all down to Manning, at all. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannings’ coaching influence is sure to be another factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a slower start to the season and by Dec/Jan he started hitting top form. My personal opinion is that he hss been brilliant for quite a while at City.

bearded_red Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Fair play I’ve read some things on this forum, but crediting Pring’s recent form to ‘Liam’ improving him when his best spell of form was still last season under a different manager is right up there. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Agree with comments above that Pring wasn’t playing as well earlier in the season and he said the same in his post match interview - that he is only now back to his form of last season. Needs to work on his crossing though; room for improvement there (as Manning said in the week). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Top player is Cam. Credit to @Harry & the original Independent fans scout group who spent many a cold wet Tuesday night watching CP at Bishops Cleeve & then passed him on to BT.

Just in case Forest are interested in signing him, I hope you told them his name was “Haydon Roberts”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJ Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 1 minute ago, Roger Red Hat said: Really? How so? Because he closed all the space that Pring likes to bomb down into. Which is why in my view Pring wasn’t at his best first half of season. Not surprise a wide player cutting in and Pring having space has seen him at his best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
