Sterling's quality is really starting to shine through, no idea how you can be so dismissive.
So, they’ve all had a decent 10 minutes, Or 5 minutes in Bakayoko’s case.
Sterling has put one decent cross in, Brown has gone a couple of games without giving a penalty away, and Hiwula scored with a fantastic finish from 2 yards out!
Is that all it takes to go from zero to Hero?
The truth is it’s far too soon to judge any new arrival, I’d suggest leaving it till Christmas to make any decisions regarding value for money.
It’s the same with Michael Doyle, there’s plenty of fans saying he’s past it, his legs have gone, he can’t pass etc etc, but just wait till he’s missed a couple of games, the same fans will be desperate to have him back.
Basing it on Robins himself saying that Ogogo doesn't suit our system as it stands.Really Otis?
Ogogo when he was fit was the driving force behind Paul Hurst’s excellent Shrewsbury who nearly achieved promotion.
He’s a great signing as I doubt Doyle will last another season (although you never know!) and is great cover in the same mould in case of injuries. He’s a leader and a combative midfielder.
I feel that just like Brown it’s taken them time to get back from major injuries-extremely difficult to hit the ground running when you have a patchy pre-season.
Going back to Sterling, there are signs that he is starting to get to grips with league football and Keeping his concentration all through the game. Unfortunate that his ‘lapses’ have cost us a couple of key goals this season but looking at his performances since he has improved.
Honestly struggling to think of a city player in 30 years that has looked equally adept on both left and right full back roles. This is a massive plus and speaks volumes of the quality of a player.

I’d say he’s turned the corner. He was dreadful for 6 games and looked nowhere near professional football but since the Sunderland game he’s improved game on game. Fair play to Robins for sticking with him.he's made a lot of the clowns on here look like complete cunts
He had a couple of bad games. Then there were games he did ok yet still got slated. Very rarely extremely poor. Maybe just 1 game I would say
The fans that jump on his back would never ever do it if he came from our academy. So so weird
Jeez. He is an 18 year old kid who has to make the adjustment from u20 football to a more physical, competitive type of football.
You can see the quality and potential he has - just taking little time to settle. Sure by end of season people will be calling one of the players of the season.
Yes I schooled everyone in it. Judge players on their performances not what club they come fromHave you not read the Shipley thread?
Ill admit I didn’t think he was ready , but in hindsight I’d agree with this fullyJeez. He is an 18 year old kid who has to make the adjustment from u20 football to a more physical, competitive type of football.

Nowhere near professional football? Incredibly harsh.I’d say he’s turned the corner. He was dreadful for 6 games and looked nowhere near professional football but since the Sunderland game he’s improved game on game. Fair play to Robins for sticking with him.
Sterling was put in the team too soon he should have been given time to integrate into the squad before being thrown in. Grimmer didn't do anything to deserve being dropped between Wembley and the start of the season. If he had a few bad games then give sterling his chance. But it's going to be an interesting battle now with grimmer fit again great strength in depth

You're kidding yourself if you don't think Sterling was anything but extremely poor in our first 6 games or so, but fair do's to the lad he looks a different player right now. Sticking with him now looks a masterstroke on Robin's part, but it would have been interesting if he would have done so if Grimmer had been available after the Bristol Rovers game. The assist in the following game against Sunderland seems to have transformed Sterling's confidence and from then on he seems more like the player we hoped he would be. He is noticeably more involved in our build up play now and I like how he times his forward runs, while his final delivery is also becoming increasingly impressive.
Our midfield/forward signings seem to be made on base attributes combined with fitting a certain personal profile rather than going after established players who will be direct upgrades in various positions. Robins is then retraining them into the positions he wants them or developing the specific missing attributes he wants them to have.Basing it on Robins himself saying that Ogogo doesn't suit our system as it stands.
The reality is - like clarke Harris - he will have to work twice as hard to win fans over due to a “cult hero” he’s replacing - so will always be accused of not putting a shift in blah blah
I don’t mind Grimmer and it’s unfortunate for him but defensively he’s always been suspect
I suspect grimmer will depart in January
Why would Grimmer depart? Sterling is only here on loan
Quite a few on here were saying to give it time and that you can't just judge players and dismiss them after just a few games.
A lot were doing just that though and Sterling was written off as an awful addition to the squad.
Sometimes players do take time to get used to systems and do take time to adjust and new squads do take time to gel.
A few weeks back many were saying Sterling was a bad signing, as was Brown, Bakayoko and Hiwula.
Are we now saying any of them are bad signings?
Think the only doubts being bandied about now are on Ogogo, but he has hardly played yet anyway.
Hopefully we as fans will learn from this.
But I doubt it.
Our good run of form coincided with Streling hitting form and our bad run since he has been out with injury. We need him back and firing quickly, just hope it don't take him 2 months to get up to speed again.Will you stop knee jerk reactions after a few wins by any chance?

Wonder if he will be on the bench for the weekend. My worry is that it took him a few games to get into it last timeBack in training today by the looks of the photos on the twitter account
A bad Sterling is still as reliable as a good GrimmerWonder if he will be on the bench for the weekend. My worry is that it took him a few games to get into it last time
trouble with Grimmer he expects his colleagues to cover whe he breaks forward and when he looks back he sees them picking their arses no where near Grimmers back line spot and therefore has to run back like a lunatic to try and recover it! which he does in the first 45 minutes but he is bolloxed second half and gets caught outThe reality is - like clarke Harris - he will have to work twice as hard to win fans over due to a “cult hero” he’s replacing - so will always be accused of not putting a shift in blah blah
