I also have to say about Oggy that he comes across as really knowledgeable and informed on the radio. It beats me how one poster called him thick. He obviously does a lot of research before games and all in all gives a balanced view of each game. Yes, like Clive he gets players and teams mixed...

For me Oggy is the best keeper I have seen play for the club narrowly pipping Bill Glazier at the post. The reasons for this are the number of games he played for us, all when we were a top flight club, his longevity and his shear consistency. Glazier I think was the more spectacular and...

Last season produced my most memorable moment after 60 years of supporting this club, even more so than winning the cup. That 90 seconds after Torp had scored was simply unreal. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. Add that to the fantastic day at Molineux and there is no way...

Holmes for Luton was sent off in the 90th minute. We scored the winner a minute later. We had dominated at Middlesbrough, creating chances until their guy was sent off after 20 odd minutes. The sending off actually galvanised them for a while and changed the nature of the game.

The post I replied too indicated that the level of the performance at Portsmouth was standard for the season, something that is clearly not true, it is by far the worst. With regards to looking fallible under Robins, we recovered nicely last season after losing 4 on the trot including abject...

Disagree. I think Saturday’s performance was a new low. The only comparable game under Robins this season was the 3-0 defeat to Leeds but then you have to consider that Leeds are possibly the best team in the league while Portsmouth are one of the worst. There were many mediocre performances...

Considering how awful we were , it’s not surprising that the team lost the first 3 games of Robin’s return including a 2-0 home defeat to Southend, the worst performance by a City team that I have ever seen. We were abject when he came back and Robin’s performed a miracle with those players. In...

I’d say that the ‘not to worry too much about Lampard, there’s plenty more managers in the sea if he is poor’ approach to the appointment is the recipe for disaster. We need to make sure that this manager fits the plan that King et al have for the club and that he is then given the time to...

Might have already been said but there are as plenty of conversations going on with him on the pitch. Sheaf spoke to him at least twice, probably getting him to focus, beware of another yellow card. Both BTA and Kitching spoke to him on the pitch when he came out to start the second half and...

I think some people were excited when John Sillett got the sack and we had Terry Butcher come in as player manager. Let’s hope things go better this time. Are Lampard and Van Nistleroy going to be better than Robins? I would just hope that King and whoever is advising him really have a plan as...

If the team aren’t playing well and do not look like progressing, I can see a big downturn in ST sales. You could say that the same would have happened under MR if the season continued as it has started. I think people would have had more faith in Robins and his ability to produce another...

Saka and Milan played the first few games of the season together until Saka was injured against Blackburn (I think). Since then we have changed formation and don’t play with wingers if starting with 3 at the back. Saka has started two of the last three games as a number ten. As he can use both...

It also includes 6 (should have been 7) goals against PL opposition

I’m not sure where the 11k comes from. By my calculations (which may be wrong), 5 years ago we were in our League One Championship season playing at St Andrews. I think our average attendance there was in the region of 6k? I would have thought our average at the moment is about 25k at least...

Tommy Hutch could do with one, acknowledged as our greatest ever player. That would make us a five statue club. I don’t think that’s a problem.

I would have thought that the sports science imput would have indicated that Jamie Allen was fine to play again. I’m sure Robins would have been given the all clear to start all of those players again. Perhaps shows that even science isn’t an exact science.

I know it was only a friendly and also only against a League One team but I was really impressed with his performance against Stevenage. He looked a cut above the Stevenage midfielders.

Giving David Bell a four year contract? Selling Lucas Jutkiewitz in relegation threatened season with no replacement being signed and the money not made available? Selling Wilson to Bournemouth and accepting 4 useless loan players as part of the deal? Just three Sisu transfer decisions off the...

I remember Marvin Sordell getting clattered at Fleetwood in one of Tony Mowbray’s last games in charge. It was a wet, cold day and Marvin was lying there in the mud in the penalty area at the away end and had received no protection from the disinterested referee. He was obviously in pain and as...

In the sense that the attitude seems to be a really selfish one with regard to both sitting in an allocated seat and standing ( even if it means others can’t see), I think it’s the same issue. You say ‘if you don’t like it don’t go’. How about having a bit of sympathy and empathy for those who...
