    Cook is overweight and old, doesnt fit into Hughes style. Get rid. City fans 2022.

    If Cook doesnt sign a new deal we can kiss goodbye to promotion. City fans 2023.

    Yes looked good on the day, however, if he's going out on loan again, surely Carlisle would be in the driving seat, assuming they want him back

    Did you not see Stubbs at Crewe when he had to cover the channel and got destroyed by Agyei? Taylor also managed to get spun by some pub league players at Bury. Both are immobile centre backs whose attributes are being the dominant aerial force in the back line. We shouldn't be asking them to do things they're not equipped for.

    And based on Hughes playing them in the centre of a back three, and only in the centre so far in pre season, I'd say he agrees.

    Kelly has been the third centre half in the first half pre season

    A bit OTT mate, tore us apart we were drawing overall in the two legs up to our manager making that change.

    Starting by not passing it in our own box

    Come on the pass Agyei received from gave him a head start on Stubbs, as we all know Stubbs was never going to catch him, his best choice should have been to bring Agyei down outside the box but once Agyei started his run there was no way Stubbs was going to catch him never mind foul him.

    A lad at work seems to think that Billy Sharp has offers from both City and Rovrum on the table.
    Apparently we have offered a longer deal than them but they have just upped their monetary offer.
    I have absolutely no idea as to the veracity of his mutterings.

    Offered a long deal to a 37 year old you say?
    Sounds like it's true then, it what we do.

    Where would he fit, even if there is a smidgen of truth in it?

    I like the look of Smith and Cookie as our starting pair.

    Longer deal and only coming on for the last 10/15 minutes Billy could play till he's 50.

    Jake Young got hooked at half time at the BPA game. My lad went, and said sometimes he looked like he couldn't be arsed, and when he got the ball he looked as though he was trying too hard

    Either way, to only last for a half amongst a load of kids and playing against a terrible 7th tier side, does not bode well

    According to the paper it was agreed he would play 45 mins-how true that is though is anyone's guess.

    It wasnt a serious answer Kev. I don't believe for a minute he's going to be a city player.

    No I didn’t think it was either. Frankly he’d be a high earner and therefore a waste of budget. I honestly don’t see the fit at all?

    Yes I read the report and unless he bucks his ideas up I can see him aimlessly drifting along with the kids, which is what the T&A alludes to imho.
    Repeated turning down of loans isn’t a great look?

    Must admit I think it’s a bit cruel making him play with youth. Relationship with the powers that be must be very poor
