Alert, this may go on a bit, as is my wont, so if you are the type of person who only copes with the odd paragraph, please feel free to jog on now, and please no Parklife. Hands up, I am a Cassandra, I always fear the worst, but am rarely proved wrong in the long run. As background, I come from...

Doug King (DK) How's it going Mark? Mark Robins (MR) Well we have a problem. We have lost three midfielders but only brought one in. DK Yes but we had to get rid of O'Hare because he wanted to play every game and he keeps posting on Tik Tok. I was getting worried he was becoming more popular...

Well a good few people think we have a strict transfer policy where we can only now buy to improve and profit. Here is my take on most of the current squad regarding making money at this moment in time: Dovin, Asante, Bassette, Rudoni, Binks, Raphael too early to judge Neutral. Up in price as...

I can see why we have been linked with some of the older players in midfield and at the back this season, as we have lost so many characters. The only real senior player left apart from Wilson is Bidwell. We have had a great team spirit since MR returned. That 3-3 draw with Portsmouth was one of...

I am always pleased when opposing fans say how our away and home support are the best in the Championship. I have friends who attend every match and are pragmatic. Then we have the online reaction on all media channels from City fans when we lose. I loved the poster on here who described a...

Well we started off as useless with a crap manager and were heading for relegation. Our recruitment was shit and Wright and Simms together were going to score less goals than own goals. Saka, Ayari and MVE were too lightweight and a waste of time. Now the team are world beaters and heading for...

Pretty well documented that Badlan was responsible for the Gus signing. Appeared he left to better himself and it went pear shaped. Vic, Wilson, Fadz, Allen, Godden, O'Hare and Sheaf were signed during his tenure. I get it is a team effort from the recruitment staff through to all the coaches...

Apologies if this has been raised before. I know Rangers and Celtic are virtually always in the Champions League, have bigger crowds and Rangers reached a European final this year, but I wonder in terms of signing players how far we are behind them. Don't think either could afford our big three...

Remember when supporters used to sing that at us. When did we change from only one song to football jukebox. Just how many songs do we have now? Why will no one sing the Hyam song or have I missed it?

Bit boring with no matches. Read a couple of articles that I'm interested what the team think. Bobby Zamora (long time ago I admit) said he decided to only use his left foot in training to make himself two footed and it worked. Even older, Ernie Hunt said he trained with a tennis ball that meant...

Derby, Reading possibly others to follow. Allowing for our financial restrictions any players we should be looking at to poach for next season. Guess it depends on which league we are in. Think we will just miss out on promotion, but you never know.

Just saw the photo from Villa Park of the guy holding up the poster when we were relegated from the Prem. Read his book. Not Fever Pitch standards but written from the heart. Hope he is still around to enjoy our current rise up the leagues. Did not think we would be out of the Prem or end up in...

Whilst we could have won any of our away games apart from Luton, why are we just not doing it away from the CBS Arena. Is it two goals scored, a missed penalty and now a good few conceded. Players who look like world beaters at home, look tentative away. The away support is awesome when we are...

I appreciate that the most difficult passes to execute are in the final third but we seem to murder teams in midfield only for our final pass to let us down. I have lost count this year in the number of games we have got into the oppositions area or edge of the area only to make a rubbish pass...

I don't know anything about the promoted teams or their squads. Bookies seem to think Hull will be fine. Peterborough and Blackpool seem to have bought a lot of players, but are they any good at this level? History says promoted teams recently usually struggle. Any opinions if we should be...

What type of player should we go for? Last seasons Luton method big and physical or more with footballing ability. Ideally a mixture is best but with a limited budget should we sacrifice some of our footballing style for a bit of brawn. Obviously, good footballers win out in the end but you...

What do you think are the pivotal moments where it all went wrong or right? Not giving Jimmy Hill the contract he wanted (10 years) Not employing Brian Clough as manager - he went to Forest instead. Selling Highfield Road. Sacking Eric Black and employing Peter Reid. Not saying Black would have...

Appreciate money is the defining factor for how much any club can achieve and in some cases a little bit of luck. How far do you think we can go with the two fat managers and their back up team? Every management team has a ceiling and I would like to think they can take us to the Prem...

I know a team can be greater than the sum of its parts but I think we have a few top 6 players, and a few potential ones. Currently I would say O'hare, Hamer, James and a fully fit Dabo. Kelly maybe. Potentially Rose even considering his poor season, maybe a fit Godden. McCallum, Osti I would...

When we got promoted how did you think our existing players would get on in the Championship and how has that opinion changed? Here’s my thoughts: Marosi – thought he would be fine. Was not great up until the Cardiff collision. Injury is a mother that may possibly have long-term peripheral...
