    Sounds like you are putting forward a case for giving it to Drury. He's young and the very first thing he did when he became caretaker manager was address the O'Connor issue by taking the captaincy away from him.

    OH No, I'm definitely not (In Drurys case) ........... He needs some seasons to really cut his teeth.
    But yes ........ As a dentist - He's pulled an aching tooth ............. ;)

    In simple terms;

    - they score first, we'll lose
    - we score first, there's a chance we may get more than nothing

    There is a debate as to whether dropping him would be like shooting ourselves in the foot or whether it would actually be a good thing.

    But Chicksen is. Maybe he was one of the ones that found what O'Connor said funny.

    Probably our best side that. As long as we play it on the ground we should have a chance against these supposed hoofball merchants.

    Nobody would have been surprised if we'd beaten Walsall 3 or 4 nil last week. One piss awful performance isn't going to change things for me. I'm going for a City win in a high scoring game.

    About 300 city fans in so far, not much noise.

    If we do get a win, it's likely to be a very high scoring game as we concede for fun. It wouldn't really surprise me Frenchie

    There's a big difference for me. It's essential we play with two 'sitting' midfielders. We castigate the defence and they are dopey at times, but we have been wide open because in the last two matches we've had a kind of 4-1-4-1 - in the all out quest to score and almost forget about defending the back four

    Defending the back four is essential and all the successful clubs, including Man City have this basic

    Not saying this will make a big difference, but at least the shape is better
