I wrote this on OTIB as well and I will say this here. As much as I want new CB we have to remember one thing before we run Del down as some cracks are starting to show in both boards.

We have in the summer been linked to 4-6 defenders.
Keogh
Gerrard
Monk
Ward
Possibly
McManus and Bikey

All these possibly turned us down for money and we were relegation cert's by some in the game as well as some on here. **** sake Buzsaky turned us down and ended up at Portsmouth.

So before people start saying he is not doing anything apart from trying to get some confidence back into the ones we have. Are WRONG.

We have the attack firing we have a fantastic left back, with not much back up, but try and sign Kosoko we all whine on that we don't need back up on right wing. But we have seen that one injury disrupts the whole team.

Wake up doubters start supporting the team that 3 weeks ago you were thinking we would possibly reach play offs.
 
'So before people start saying he is not doing anything apart from trying to get some confidence back into the ones we have'

I'm convinced he's trying to get at least 1 CH in.
You then mention trying to get confidence in defence. Well I suggest he's completely going the wrong way.
Playing 3 out of our 4 defenders out of their best position as yesterday will never engender confidence and selecting 2 left footed clowns in central defence ahead of Carey quite frankly beggars belief.
 
Play off conteneders!!! I thought bottom six. Soft soft team this when off its game. 4-5-1 like last season puts them right in the mix for relegation. Support the team!!! being watching crap for decades wont get lairy about it but effort should be first on the list and that lack is not down to no new centre half.

Yes he got it wrong, but watching yesterday Carey is not the answer to everything. He was a fantastic servant to the club very rare in this day and age. But took a lot of **** of Jordan Rhodes against Blackburn, allowed Tonge to shoot without any challenge against him.

Do you think abuse on twitter is the way for Fontaine to get some confidence?

Running a poll on here, we have no idea if any of our players read any of this.

Yes I have been supporting City since the 70's it don't make me more qualified than the next person. The only thing I do know is I have learnt that don't expect to much.

We talk about getting ths new stadium and fans will appear from nowhere, we are a poor supported team in the championship. We should be bigger but we ain't unfortunetely.

I have never thought we would achieve play offs this season, this year is about consolidation. Getting the players in because most won't want to join us after the past few seasons. As I said yes Del got it wrong big time yesterday, I was bored and embarrassed at Leicester watching them just run through us.
 
"The only thing I will guarantee is this, you will twist my words copy sentences and answer with comments like you are trying your best to belittle me!"

?
 
Took that comment out and a few others, commenting on here when you are pissed off at the time is not the best thing.

I understand that everyone has another opinion to me, just unfortunetely I'm right all the time ;)
 
'Carey is not the answer to everything' - Who said he was ?
I said he was a better option than either of the 2 clowns.

'Do you think abuse on twitter is the way for Fontaine to get some confidence?'

Never used Twitter in my life.
If you want me to answer the question - of course not but that's only stating the bleeding obvious.
 
I have heard a few moan about it but... (forgetting the players themselves) whats the difference between playing two left footed players in the centre defence compared to two right footed players which most teams over the years have?

The two Del has been using arent great but they arent performing because of what foot they can kick a ball with.

One foot is always going to be stronger but in todays game every player should be able to use both feet.
