I remember it was obvious that none of our players wanted to take that penalty.
Unfairly criticised. Hoilett didn’t get any of the vitriol that Madine did.Quote:

I agree with you. City fans always have to have somebody to blame.Quote:

Madine, did absolutely nothing compared to what Hoilett gave us. In fact, Madine gave us nothing, full stop.Quote:

That's my recollection. But it's all history now anyway.Quote:

I can certainly agree that he did nothing for us as a player, but a lot of the criticism of him after the Wolves match was OTT
Madine was hated purely because he was bought for £6mQuote:

Madine's penalty was saved. Hoilett didn't even get his on target.Quote:
