    Reminded me of us in 2013 under Flitcroft. If they play like that there's no way they'll go down.

    They have some fantastic young players, I just don't think they have the firepower up top. Maybe Orsic will change that. I think Lavia will be back at City if he continues, shame about his injury. They have a buy-back clause of about 40 million

    Cole Palmer and Kalvin Phillips reminiscent of a mid 1990s City midfield.

    45 million for Phillips... Jesus wept. How much should we have got for Hourihane if he's worth that?! Don't think Palmer will ever cut it at City. He's still not quite 21 yet but his decision making at times is diabolical. Technically he's pretty good, but off the ball and the choices he makes on the ball especially in front of goal is a bit lacklustre to say the least

    Fancy both Southampton & Wolves to pull it together & survive. Only to struggle again next season.

    Bournemouth, Forest & praying Leeds to drop

    I still reckon Southampton will go down. Bournemouth too. I think Forest will be okay, they're slowly getting better & gelling as a team (even though their second team who got pumped by blackpool seem really crap). That win away at Southampton last week was massive for 'em. Wolves will be absolutely fine especially with this manager in place in my opinion. Be close though.

    Bornmuff', Southampton & Leeds I reckon for the drop

    They've really got Romal Palmer.

    I wonder how Charlton will react next against us, after getting comfortably beat in the cup at ManUre.

    Not sure they were that comfortably beaten to be fair. They were only 1-0 down going into injury time so were always in the game.
    Couple of new signings joining them before Saturday too. That must be nice.......

    Yes we still need 10 points from only half a season (23 games to go) we arent safe yet. A couple of Lee Johnson style 10 game losing streaks in a row would drop us right in it

    Isn't it weird how when we're scoring first and winning we look like a team that can't get beat. However, when we lose we're f cuking awful. I don't think we've come out with much credit from any of our defeats.

    Worst I’ve see Man City keep the ball in a long time. Credit to Southampton for disrupting them so much.

    I know I’m probably in minority here but I don’t have a dislike for Leeds, i think it’s purely down to the fact a couple of my close mates are big Leeds fans and are cracking lads,

    We`ve lost one league game in eight,If that`s falling apart it`s time we packed in.
