Yeh enjoyed that. Worth the tenner to watch it. I know Brum weren't great but nice to see a quality hat-trick, a well taken goal by Harris who did well against a seasoned defender, and a good showing by Colwill which he should've capped with goal. Nice to see :ayatollah:Quote:

Not sure if we should include Tomlin giving how little football he's played, though technically he has second best goals per 90, but if we're excluding him Harris has our:Quote:

His record is comparable to Duncan Watmore at Boro.
WHo was the last Welshman to score a hat trick for City?
Must be Earnie?Quote:

Can this persuade MM to sign Wilson next season? I think the future COULD be bright.
On another note....this was the first time I can remember that I wanted our friends down the road to win(!). Hope Derby go down...should be a heck of a final game Derby v Sheff Wed....would also like Rotherham to stay up....!
Where's Eric when you need him :sherlock:
Earnie got one at QPR - that must have been after Macclesfield or Gillingham? We won 4-0. I saw it from that funny upper stand at Loftus Road, right behind the goal but a bit high.Quote:

Why not throw one of them on instead of Jonny Williams?
Soured a good win for me.
Friday night game wasn’t it?Quote:

I'm not sure what Bowyer would have learned about the youngsters he picked or whether they would've have gained much benefit from that experience. I would have liked MM to have introduced Bowen instead of Murphy maybe, but he has given Colwill, Sang & Bagan some useful game time so far and put Harris on today for a decent spell so I think he's serious about blooding the youngsters albeit cautiously. I'd like him to do more but I prefer his way than what Bowyer did with Brum today.Quote:

It was.Quote:

Not even the late great Peter Whittingham has ever scored a better hat trick.
Shame Wilson never quite hit those heights often enough. He would have been an all time City hero. We can see he is capable.
