Didnt really Stephen Wright plays of them now! Been there since March. Took his time getting a new club after leaving us but seems to have found a new one!

skybluesloyal83 · Jul 31, 2012

might pick up a win if he plays for them, he was awful

Nick · Jul 31, 2012

He was at Brentford I think?

pusbccfc · Jul 31, 2012

I couldn't get my head round the fact he played champions league with Liverpool!

sw88 · Jul 31, 2012

He wasn't the best player we've signed in recent years (to put it nicely)

pusbccfc · Jul 31, 2012

He scored in the Champions league!!

lordsummerisle · Jul 31, 2012

How many other players have we had that played in The Champions League, or European Cup in recent-ish years? Trond Egil Soltvedt, McCallister?, Wise? Goram? Hedman? Maybe Moldovan, and Hadji. Could be quite a few.

skybluesam66 · Jul 31, 2012

laurent delorge, robbie keane, daniel sturridge, roger van gool!!

CJparker · Jul 31, 2012

He did play for Brentford, saw him play there quite a few times including an away match in the FA Cup against Aldershot when they lost and he played CB

Delorge! Was at Sheffield United when he scored!Isn't he banned for some sort of drug taking now?

Sturridge didn't actually play for us though did he?

sw88 · Jul 31, 2012

Team warming up. Looks like the first 11 will be Murphy, Brown, the edge, Malaga, Clarke, Kilbane, Sheff, Baker, Fleck, Thomas, Ball.

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jul 31, 2012

That would look to be a fairly strong line up for us, I hope they are competitive at least. Keep us updated as and when you can be arsed, sw88, it was much appreciated last time.

He was!

As it goes, I thought he was absolute quality when we first signed him: he was a good defender, talked to his team-mates, passed well and over-lapped effectively. RB had been a massive problem for ages, and he looked like a solution. Then he had a bad injury, came back, and his legs had gone. He went from best defender at the club to liability pretty much overnight, but due to lack of alternatives, he carried on playing for the rest of the season.

He is widely derided, but then City fans do have short memories and choose to remember a players bad times rather than good when they leave!

EDIT: forgot the bit where the manager decided over the summer that he was now a CB, despite the fact we had no RB's, and he promptly got murdered in that role, particularly in the air!

WeWillBeBack · Jul 31, 2012

If theres no Hussey I dont see another LB in there so...

Murphy
Clarke Edge Malaga Kilbane
Brown Thomas
Baker Fleck Sheff
Ball

So I guess that mean Kilbane at LB? And 1 up front, no Cody? Harumph.

WeWillBeBack · Jul 31, 2012

sw88, any sign of the trialists?

Sky Blues · Jul 31, 2012

Interesting. Will this be the first choice 11, or will Hussey and Cody be in there come the start of the season?...

That's how I assumed they'd line up if sw88 is right. Be a shame for Cody not to start, but I guess there is some merit in trying out that formation and it would suit Ball better to be lone front man than Cody (guesswork, not seen the former play).

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 31, 2012

I've already given up on Ball after Saturday. He'd be miles behind Cody in my estimation, whatever the striking role.

sw88 · Jul 31, 2012

The Edge is at left back do looks like Kilbane is in CM again.

Bruno is on the bench but no sign of Ricky or any other unknowns

Astute · Jul 31, 2012

Sheffers and Ball up front. Sheffers feeding off knockdowns from Ball.3-1 Cov with that lineup

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jul 31, 2012

I haven't seen Ball play, just think a diminutive striker often gets lost if he is up front by himself. I was worried the Edge might go left back rather than Kilbane; he doesn't sound like a full back from what I have heard.

Astute · Jul 31, 2012

Ball is big and quite strong. A mate of mine who is a Derby fan thinks he will do well for us this season.

If their is a front two then why isnt Cody feeding off Ball?!

Given up on someone after a meaningless friendly, talk about knee jerk. Besides, he didn't even look that bad.

Because he isn't playing tonight

I was tempted to put "yeah yeah, so I'm negative, sad and I have no mates, blah blah blah" in a bid to avoid illiciting a response like yours, but then I thought, "nah, fuck it, let them have their fun with their moral indignation"

I think The Edge is shite too if that helps

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jul 31, 2012

And you think Bigi will be undoubtedly a £25m player in the future, so I think we can acknowledge you have your favourites and Cody just might be one of them amongst the current crop (so less than satisfactory performances from striking alternatives may well see you writing them off). Reynolds was right, though... you can't write Ball off after one pre-season game... you have to wait 'til I confirm it in a League game.

sw88 · Jul 31, 2012

The edge caught out concedes early corner.

sw88 · Jul 31, 2012

Looks like Ball up on his own with Sheff and Baker pushing forward

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jul 31, 2012

sw88 > CWR

sw88 · Jul 31, 2012

Two early corners conceded where we've cleared it to the half way line....... And no one is there to pick it up. Nothing changes....

Does this mean it's on and I'm not required? I know not everyone has access to CWR

WeWillBeBack · Jul 31, 2012

Is there any commentary? (not knocking yours sw88, think you're doing a great job)

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jul 31, 2012

No, it means you are greater than CWR.
