Yeah. I think 3-1 would probably have been fairer, but then again 5-0 is better than some Premiership teams! Our two goal-getters were on the bench (Rhodes and Gestede) and starting with Campbell alone upfront probably cost us a fighting chance. Eastwood was the icing on the cake. The second half showed the difference between a below average goalkeeper and a top class goalkeeper. Robinson conceded 1 goal and bossed the defence well and was pretty assured for almost all of the first half. Eastwood never had control and never got near a ball, his positioning is off a lot of the time too. |

Considering our entire squad cost about £6m we put up a good fight really. Did City even have one player who cost less than that?

Ok mate I'll just have to ignore my work, kids and missus and spend all night worrying you think I'm wrong ![]() I was pulling your leg and dont really care if you rate Dzeko or not, or Rooney either tbh. There are lots of players I dont rate, just opinions at the end of the day (not sure what the Monty smiley means but dont think I've ever used it before) |

Robinson - 2.5m Henley - Academy Hanley - Academy Kilgallon - Free Spurr - Free or 200K Cairney - 500k Lowe - Academy Williamson - Free Taylor - Free Marshall - 2m DJ - Free King - ~500k Eastwood - Free Mahoney - £undisclosed (six figure sum, probably with add-ons for the future) Mahoney looked alright when he came on. Can't believe the lad's only 16! |

Not moaning, more observing It is what it is. I was just commending our lads on doing a good job when you look at the value of the teams they put out!Much of Walker's money was invested in training and youth facilities, and that's the best money he spent imo. Hopefully your Sheikh is doing the same so that if/when harder times come by, you've got some talent coming through the system to keep you going - we'd be forked without our academy right now
