    Oscar has 6 in 9 games
    Ohio has 3 in 9 (only started 2)

    Are they playing for Managers comparable to Frank Abagnale Jr?

    With the players we have, we should be top of the league, undefeated & have zero goals against us!
    What do these other teams think they’re doing taking points off us?
    Hull City should be allowed to win every single game & that’s down to the manager!

    I think Bedia is being a bit over criticised. True, he’s fallen apart at key moments a lot and that’s what people remember from a performance, but he is big, strong, quick feet, quick to turn, his play everywhere other than in front of goal is generally very good. I’m sure he will improve, maybe it’s confidence. Mind you Jozy Altidore was much the same, so maybe he’s just one of those players that has a goal allergy, much like Tom Huddlestone or Seri could put an 80 yard cross field pass perfectly at a team mates feet but miss an open goal from 5 yards out.

    Hes a massive step up above pedro
    Will he be a player to score 15+ goals a season?
    Probably not

    Might get us 10 or so this season

    While he has flaws, we look a far better team with him in it than pedro

    Pedro looks like someone whose body doesnt do what he wants it to anymore

    Plus bedia looks worse as we barely create anything
    If he needs 5 chances to score 1 goal
    Thats not as bad if we create a lot of chances

    But when we need our striker to be so clinical
    Then he looks worse

    Aka. Wheres this so called attacking foootball?

    Bit rich, but I’m sure meant in humour.

    I want us to win every game. Preferably, I’d like this with Walter playing the exciting, free flowing, free scoring style that was sold to us … 5 months ago.

    I expect nothing, that’s City.

    As it stands, with Walter, the only flowing I see us achieving, is down to League 1. I’ve seen nothing in the 20 or so games he’s been in charge that has shown even a glimpse of what was sold to us. It won’t change now.

    He may last ‘til Xmas, he may go after Xmas, he may last the season. Truth is, he should have gone weeks ago. That’s opinions for you.

    Anything less than 7th is not progress & will be seen as a poor season. I’ll still turn up, chant all game, stand all game & then spend the next few days with a gravelly voice despite being nearly 60 & not in the best of health. I’m happy with that.

    Good question. No idea.

    Just for the record I don’t think either Oscar and Ohio would have been solutions for our current shortcomings.

    I think Ohio would, but it’s all irrelevant now!

    Utrecht are second in the Dutch top league so it’s a good standard. He’s used off the bench similar to his time with us - and scoring important goals.

    Id go as far as saying I’d prefer him to Pedro on first impressions.

    I’d probably prefer Ohio and even Sayyadmanesh right now as options up front over Bedia and Pedro.

    I always thought allayahar came as a striker but was rarely played there

    A winger as I recall. Quick and strong but a bit headless at times, always good for a card too.

    Interesting. People were outraged he didn't start more for us.

    To be fair the alternative was Tufan out of position or Billy Sharp. I can get it

    I thought we used Carvalho up top a reasonable amount which seemed to work out.

    We played 4-4-2. It would have been interesting to see Ohio and Fabio more but alas it didn't happen
