If his loan terms state he must play if he's fit then I'd terminate his loan if he doesn't improve significantly in the next four games. Unless it is thought that he will develop into a good player that would be interested in a permanent deal at City, I don't see the merit in allowing him to...

Agreed, Wood was a class above. Jennings was very good too, a lot better than Doyle who is very effective at this level

I though Brown was poor. Unless there's a chance of him developing and us getting him on a perm in the future, let him go and make his mistakes elsewhere...

I agree Jennings and Elliott will be effective in this league, worked hard and will get better with more fitness. Barton is a cultured player and alongside Fleck could be a big player, although faded badly and needs time

I disagree, I thought Malaga played well!

Bang on, exactly my thoughts. we were crying out for two changes on 60 mins!

McSheffrey v Doyle will be a key battle tonight too, assuming McSheffrey gets the nod over Baker. They were best mates (under Adams) and will be interesting to see who will come out on top......

I do find that odd too, surely Brown should have played there or Kilbane? Academy striker/attacking midfielder is a strange choice given the options....

......could be interesting?! Our midfield lacks bite and tenacity, everything that Doyle gives Utd. Be interested to see how Jennings changes our balance.

...............skidded past the stretching McSheffrey and the far post. Sounds like a pretty tight dressing room to me :D Great detailed reporting from the Telegraph!

Agreed. Thomas impressed me last year. Jennings, Barton and Fleck look good players too. I'd play Kilbane at left back. He certainly not in our strongest 4 central players. Also i'd say Cameron is better than Brown! Not sure we needed him really?!

Yeovil 4-0 City

Bearing in mind, if Hussey gets injured or dropped at anypoint he will play a number of games at left back too.....

He will do though

I think it will be: -------------Murphy--------------- ------------------------------------- Clarke---Brown---Wood---Hussey ------------------------------------ -------------Jennings------------- ------Barton----------Fleck------- ------------------------------------...

This has been touched on before, but as we are very close to the start of the season, I wondered what peoples expectations were on the pitch in this league? I personally saw Southampton a lot in League One (inlaws are season ticket holders). My biggest observation is that there is actually...

I'd start with this if everyone was fit.... -----------------Murphy----------------- Clarke----Malaga----Wood-----Kilbane ----------------Thomas----------------- ---------Baker---------Barton---------- ------------------Fleck------------------ -------McDonald-----McSheffrey-------...

Conor Thomas will be our star midfielder this season. We need to build around Conor IMO

Similar story to Fleck really... Capped at U21 International level, hyped after a decent run in Premier side when very young and has since tailed off. I don't think players just lose their potential, I think with these two players it's just a case of needing more time to develop as the have...
