Richards has shown fine form since his return and (hopefully) started to show the knockers he is a more than decent player when fit
No 'poor' performances today, so well done to all the City players and I hope Joe Bennett and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing weren't too bad after they went off

I’m not quite sure what games you watch but Nelson has been our best defender by an absolute mile![]()
I do agree with you though on Bamba but no way at Nelson’s expense

I’m not convinced... yes he looks okay because he were suffering initially at CB with Morrison and Flint but yesterday’s goal conceded was criminal no way would any of our other CBs have been beaten like that. He also nearly cost us a goal at Preston. I feel he really needs to sharpen up but has done okay without filling me with confidence.

Got to say that I would make Nelson my first choice centre back. Since Manga left our ability to pass the ball out was non-existent until Nelson came in. He even led two breakaway attacks yesterday !
He's also the only centre back with any real pace, hence why I think he has to be in and then it's a choice of one out of Flint, Bamba and Morrison, my choice would be Bamba if he's over his knee op. Of course, Harris may start to think about playing 3 centre backs after the way the formation worked yesterday so that might be very interesting as we move forward, particularly away from home.

Tell me of any CB’s that don’t make mistakes. Even Van Dyke for Liverpool messed up against Wolves the other day and he’s supposed to be one of the best CB’s in Europe.
I will say again that Nelson is our best CB and paired with Bamba or even as a back three our defence will be hard to break down.
Don’t just look at Nelson’s mistakes as his contribution to the team outweighs his mistakes.
