Take your mind off a rubbish performance yesterday with a trip down memory lane. Brad and I recorded our first ep in our look back at the last decade for City, starting with the 2010/11 season pre-Allams. We looked at Nigel Pearson's appointment, the player's brought in, and the games that stick in the memory. We've also put a poll up on Twitter - who do you think was our best free agent signing of the Decade?

Liam Rosenior.

No other words needed.

Popular opinion on Twitter seems to be Koren! I agree though they are very hard to split, Rosenior probably more for stature around the club, Koren for what he did in those first few years of the decade. I think it was the 11/12 season where he was particularly prolific.

Koren is a close second. People who score goals always have an advantage when it comes to popularity.

Koren would often have games where he would do absolutely nothing for 99.9% of the game, but he'd smash it from 30 yards and it would go in and everyone would forget he did nowt else in the game. Rosenior would give 100% all of the time.

After that, when you look at the list, there's nobody even near those two. Maybe Fraizer during his second stint.

Aluko possibly but that's probably more on the potential he showed at the start of 12/13. But he did play a big role that season.
 
I wouldn't take any of the names mentioned ahead of Andy Dawson - with us right at the start of our journey in L2 all the way to the PL, never shirked a tackle, never gave less than his all. Scored some stonking goals too - nearly 300 games in 10 seasons, a class act and the best freebie, ever. Factafuckinmundo.

Considering he joined well before 2010, I'm pretty certain he is ineligible.

Yeah absolutely which is why I had to limit the question to just the last decade, as there's obvious answers before that.

Had he managed to recapture that form from the first half of that season, maybe. But he was never anywhere near that good again.

And not squaring it in the FA Cup Final hurts massively too.. although if he'd scored that he'd almost be above the aforementioned pair!
 
Took a breather last week but Dan and I were back this week to recap the loss to Swindon as well as the two Cup triumphs. Timing was good as our player of the week to look back on is James Scott, before a look ahead to Burton and Grimsby.

After a bumpy start to the ep this one becomes a really good one! Dan and I have a wide-ranging chat about the MK Dons and Ipswich wins, when we can expect/hope to see crowds back, what our January plans should be for the transfer window, Reece Burke's performance for City to date, and a look ahead at the Cup game against Stevenage and the league clash with Doncaster.
