    That's actually a good way of looking at it.

    I keep reading stories headlined something like "Bantams swoop to snap up...." etc.

    Makes us sound more like pterodactyls than bantams.

    Having seen the tune Hughes got from the shambles of a squad left behind by Adams, I've no concern about his ability to build a squad capable of getting us up next season. He quickly identified the wheat from the chaff and used a lower number of players from the available squad on a regular basis. Some never featured and some only once.

    I'd also add that the form we showed at the end, probably had us on a trajectory toward top six had he joined the club in December.

    Made a very very good save to earn a point late on against Doncaster

    Lewis is the best keeper at city since Pickford. Actually very similar to Pickford has a bright future and conducts himself well. A credit to the club. We should try to tie him up longer as his value will be significant. If he isn’t in the PFA team this year I would genuinely be surprised.

    Harry Lewis will be a premier league goalkeeper one day. That I have no doubt about. Reminds me a lot of Schwarzer.

    Easily worth a 7 figure sum even now only a few months into his football league career.

    Up the fecking chickens.

    I see you conveniently dodged my question.

    Perhaps you weren't that bothered about seeing PL football with you also being a Liverpool fan but for us, one club supporters, the PL was probably the absolute pinnacle, regardless of how it ended.

    The right kind of signing.

    Hopefully the lad comes here with a point to prove.

    2 year contract seems to be the most given these days with extension option which could be good for both parties and provide some much needed stability.

    Lets get some more decent defenders in and build a strong back line for next season.

    When the spare men are the fullbacks, then moving it quickly and accurately is a big advantage.

    Unreal performance today for the lad the Pen save was decent but his overall performance in the match was fantastic he made some good saves and kept us in the game. Looks a dream signing from a prem club that just needs a chance. Top lad too, looks like he's loving his time here!

    Looks like bringing Stephen Gent in is certainly paying off.

    On the evidence so far this season, Harry Lewis is far too good for league 2 or 1.
    With 18 months left on his contract the club should now be looking to tie him down for 5 years, because championship clubs will be courting him in the summer. He will inevitably move up the leagues but we need to be in a position to cash in when he does.

    Isn't it great that we finally have a keeper that we can see and say is a cut above most in the division, I think only Orient can also claim that at the moment. He's a breath of fresh air and we need to work hard to make sure we can keep him.

    Comparing him to Pickford, albeit he played in League One for us, I don't see a lot between the two apart from Lewis not having the red mist that Pickford often displayed.

    Richmond was a guy you could be mad as hell and you couldn’t wait to get to one of his forums to tell him so. And within minutes he would have you eating out of his hands.
    He worked hard and ran the club well for 75% of his time unfortunately he then spoiled his legacy at the end.
    I don’t bear him any I’ll will though because it was great whilst it lasted. I keep asking Parker to do an interview with him which I think would be a good read

    Not necessarily his greed for money in a personal sense, but greed with ambition for the club. If the Sky Prem monies had been available like they are today , I’m sure we wouldn’t have faced the administrations we did.

    It was a fantastic ride…I won’t knock the fella for his ambition for the club. Never!
