Is this the NG who played a slow pass across a crowded penalty area against Derby? If Derby had ANYONE with an eye for goal, they would have scored then. I know NG played the pass that led to the goal (all down to the strength of City's sub, btw) but even as a kid it was drummed into me NEVER, EVER pass ACROSS THE BOX. Sorry, but that was just rank defending.

Is this really what we are arguing about: 'Lightweight'? Davies was lightweight against Curtis Davies. Wintle is lightweight, imo. Overall, to do well in the Championship, players of strength are needed. Warnock for all his faults knew this. It's the blend of strength and skill which succedes. We are nowhere near the strength of team we had when Warnock was manager. We won all those games late into the match because we wore teams down. The present City team would be over-run by that Warnock side. Go on, tell me I'm wrong.
