Not how it works. I'll grant you he's not CL quality at this stage though, and I think the comments he is ready for City right now are a stretch.

Not heard of him before, but he's 21. You wouldn't think that would come under our current remit unless we are picking up two in light of Walton and Jayson being gone in the summer. If we do bring in someone so young for the position again, could be a bit of a 'fuck you' to Fisher and Hilton.

And TM in the mood to decide we really don't need new players after all...

Um yeh but when Abraham went to Bristol he only had 2 league appearances under his belt, which I assume were sub ones as they were for Chelsea. He scored 23 goals for them that season. Think we'd be more than happy with that kind of return.

Who?

Tosin is a Manc and has been with Man City since he was 5. I shouldn't think any future purchase is in the offing unless City decide they're not interested anymore.

You have way too much faith in Walton for that to only be priority 2 (3 essentially).

Promotion defence. For a conference side. Possibly.

They're also a lot of nobs though, so you can see the confusion.

Eh, it's not his position and he is still learning the ropes with his first taste of men's football. I'm not writing him off yet. But I absolutely don't want to see him wide.

It was straight at him but he dealt solidly with it. We were a little lucky we got fouled as it dropped straight onto a plate for a Derby player who put it in, but the whistle went.

Hooray!! Would have never predicted a bit ago that we were going to embark on a 4 match winning run!

Bringing Buckley on for the flanks is completely wasteful. He isn't quick enough.

More than our total defensive budget for the next ten years.

Huh. And yet when I do some big Tosin, the newspapers describe it as a 'completely classless act', and that I 'shouldn't be allowed unsupervised at the Mall'. Pfft.

Ffs, so irritating to see Gally come on for Graham yet still get stuck wide for Armstrong to go up top!

Rothwell not at his best again. Probably the one who will get hooked for Bennett. I know it has been said before, but Tosin really can ping a pass effortlessly. I can see why West Brom fans were most impressed with him at DM.

Good lad! I know he's frustrating but he's usually worth having on the pitch, for me. Should've been getting dropped not long ago though, but always an outlet at worst.

Apart from an absolute mystery free kick in the first half it hasn't been too bad. Compared to the usual shit in this league. Not been many big decisions to make.

Good ball from Armstrong there.

He can't.

Derby no shots on target at all. Been a poor game. Derby really aren't looking anything special at all. We need to be more decisive in our final plays, and stop this odd mix of slowly playing it around for ages then mindlessly lumping it when someone gets bored. Lack of movement from us.

Not just Armstrong. All the attacks are breaking down at the final hurdle. Arma can definitely do better though and needs to pull it out. Shot was poor. Not how you want the only truly clear chance we've had to be dealt with. Thank god that Derby player was offside.

In a way I'm not allowed to talk about.

Our final ball is wank today.
