This always was a daft thread doomed to be full of mea culpas only weeks later. I have supported City since 1962 and until Robins came, had only experienced one period of sustained success - 1962-67 - otherwise success was restricted to brief spasms of joy, the last one being Eric Black 20...

...have we got international clearance for him yet??? Just leave him in the stands to watch and learn

Even by the standards of the world's most fickle people, football fans, I find the wild change in appreciation for Wright from complete dud to absolutely essential and his absence liable to cost us the game, all with a month or so, just jaw dropping. I am no talent spotter (quite the reverse)...

Loan to perm is a really good way to try before you buy. O'Hare, Sheaf and Big Vik were all loans first, and many fancied buying Walsh and McNally and would have liked Maatsen to stay.

"It’s a tough league and January is a tough window to find value in" ...is the key sentence, along with one by one by mmttww up thread that we are building for the long term, not just in a mad rush for the play offs (which will be even tougher and more of a lottery than ever this year). Thus...

The only indispensable person in the Club is Robins.

The only answer is B. No player is indispensable. We can get a good replacement. We are a team not a one man show. This is a long term game with anything achieved this year a bonus.

....we have a settled team. A good sign

...and if Wright is out, then Palmer comes in but the formation is tweaked from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2

The team to be that most favoured above - Collins, the best back 4, Callum, Josh & Ben with Wright, Simms and Saka. Could possibly swap Lati for Eccles. I see no reason for us to not get at least a point. We are playing well, have a solid defence and good options on the bench Because it is so...

....err Sakamoto

See the answer above. Wright is not a winger but is very effective as a left sided versatile attacker. Palmer could do that as a back up. I find the obsession with wingers depressing. They are few and far between, a bit of mirage, and too easily seen as a 'golden ticket'. That was why we...

..neither is Wright, but he is now

Why on earth do we need a winger or at least one who expects to play 1st team? Wright on left (back up Palmer), Saka on right (back up Palmer). We desperately need a number 8. After that it is a big striker as back up to Simms, absolutely not a fox in the box Godden/Taveres type. The 4-3-3...

IF you wipe out the outliers - say the top 10 down to Clough - what is the average job length - a year? Maybe it says something about (1) football finance - many clubs are close to broke so can't buy success. You can see in the long servers Wrexham, Newcastle and Stockport plus Klopp and Pepe...

Three draws two wins, but bet the actual sequence is not what you would expect. The only game we should probably assume we will lose from now on in is Southampton away. Everything else we should reckon we can get something from.

All I know is that it won't be what you think. Draw against Swansea at home, beat Boro away (easily) anyone?

Let's hear it for that lovely little first-time flick that took out two Swansea defenders at a stroke and cleared the path for Wright to surge forward and score. He can do it, but seems not to be able to with sufficient regularity. And I'm a fan

Hamer replacement Loan striker to back up Simms and replace Godden in the pecking order. See Big Vik three seasons ago That's it

If he is 27, does that mean the chance of a Prem club poaching him is much less?
