But can he organise the defenders around him into a cohesive unit, so that we stop leaking goals.

Blue blood didn't mention winning the cup. He said go on a cup run. What is the saying about the longest journey starting with a single step.

Bell played in the first game I attended ,when city beat us 1-4 in the FA cup. He was everywhere that night, what a fantastic professional.

I'd have Downing in place of Bell, but I like the rest.

Perhaps he should have turned around and given it to a defender, who could have then have given it to the keeper, to then give it back to a defender nearer our goal ?

That can be learned, having the skill in the first place cannot.

We also used to keg Harp Larger, That was the same.

It is saying that ELITE sports will continue. In football what level constitutes Elite ?

I used to work at Thwaites putting Stein into kegs

I am not that worried, Nyambe is a good defender, not so good going forwards. Rothwell has moments of brilliance, but those moments are too few and far between. We have lost better players and survived. My main worry would be that it is Mowbray who would be tasked to replace them.

How much would you except for Mulgrew ?

Isn't he only on loan at Fleetwood.

No championship till next season?

Personally I would like my center-halfs first touch to land in the opponents half.

A promo for a center-half, without a single header?

So did Downing until he could not get a better deal

I would give downing a try at left back, over those two.

Colin Hendry, David Hurst.

And Strait

Never stick your head up to look over the parapet

I will leave my judgement of the back four until after the game.

At least let them play, before you judge. I do agree on paper it is a strange pick.

Tony doesn't do formations.

Versus Coventry ?

Yes, because they beat us.
