Alex Neil faces his old club for the first time this season as he brings his Stoke City side to Carrow Road. Since his appointment on the 28th August, it’s been a mixed bag for the Scotsman. In his opening 10 fixtures, the Potters have been unable to find any sort of consistency but have […]
CITY v WEST BROM (H) – THE PREVIEW
City will be aiming to make it seven consecutive Championship victories ahead of the visit of West Bromwich Albion to Carrow Road tomorrow. After a tough opening three fixtures, Dean Smith’s men have hit a much-needed positive patch of form. However, despite winning six on the bounce, scoring 13, and conceding 4, a fair portion […]
The left-back conundrum… is Frederik Andre Bjorkan the answer?
Left-back has been a difficult position for Dean Smith to negotiate this season, with Dimi Giannoulis, Sam McCallum and Jacob Sorensen suffering injuries in successive games and all being ruled out until at least the beginning of the World Cup period in November. It was an almost unbelievable chain of events that led to Smith’s […]

Unilateral good wishes flooded in towards the towering German defender following the announcement, with some fans seeing his […]
Could Danel Sinani yet be the one to finally fill that Emi Buendia-shaped hole?
Since the end of last season, as City concluded 2021-22 with that dismal relegation while Huddersfield went all the way to the Championship Play-Off final, the future of Danel Sinani and what role (if any) he may play in Dean Smith’s team has become a hot topic among City fans. The question being asked is […]
Bali Mumba to Plymouth? Schumacher to help him develop his defending?
Having joined the club in the summer of 2020 from Sunderland off the back of wholesome praise from the Mackems – who were gutted to see one of their bright academy prospects head to Norfolk – it’s been an interesting two years for the now 20-year-old Bali Mumba. His first full campaign in Norfolk saw […]
Defensive reinforcements are still required. Let’s not allow history to repeat itself…
Amid the cooling of City’s interest in Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer, I’ve taken a look at the defensive options Daniel Farke has at his disposal ahead of their return to the Premier League. It’s worth beginning with the Norwegian centre-half Ajer, in whom City have held a consistent interest throughout the summer, having had a […]
