As a City season ticket holder of many decades I feel entitled to submit a few thoughts.
Under Mark Robins he turned our club around and instilled a real sense of belonging on hope. Going to the football was exciting and entertaining.
The last few months (including the end of Mark Robins time, maybe about when Denis Lawrence left) there has been something missing.
We don’t seem to know what we are doing, or trying to do. Over the past few seasons some of the football has been breathtaking, now it is mundane without any apparent plan.
We are in danger of wasting the opportunity that we were presented with special players, Haji Wright, Milan etc. Norman Bassette.
Bobby Thomas is doing OK and improving, but what about Binks and Kitching? I had high hopes for them.
Yesterday’s match v Baggies highlighted our goalkeeper issue. Palmer would do nicely.
At the beginning of the season I thought it was because we were missing Ben Sheaf, but sadly he hasn’t been as special as we hoped he would become. Tats as yet is not back to his old self after his horrific injury.
The beginning of the season we were trying new and inventive corner and set-piece routines. No longer.
We don’t seem not appear to be playing to the strengths of the players. Rudoni started well but somehow now isn’t. The same with Torp. Simms could be really good, but doesn’t appear to want to.
We are becoming an average championship team. Win one lose one for one. That’s four points every three games 62 points ish at the end of the season.
Destined like Preston, Middlesbrough, Bristol City etc.
I pay £750 for my season ticket and that is pretty much the same as my golf membership. Both give me the same amount of hope, despondency and despair.
