I played with Marlon and Aden in the BCFC golf day a few years ago. Aden - loud, very full of himself, as expected.... Marlon - pretty quiet, reserved, and a genuinely nice guy. A pleasure to be with. Both were dog toffee at golf.......

Did I read somewhere that George Tanner is pretty much at the top of the league for defending one v ones? Do we know anyone who might have those stats to hand.....?

Home fans only in the Britannia

I've thought about it for a bit. Nah.....

Didn’t the football world all scratch their heads when Birmingham sacked Eustace. What must they be thinking of us…..

Just checking all of this is ok as long as you aren't claiming benefits? The wife needs a little convincing........

How about we manage players individually, and do what is best for their progress, and therefore the club. Surely that is just good management?

The best I've seen at standing still to make space while others moved, is Messi - Modric a close second. Both, then had short bursts that seemed to create something every time. Not bad role models.....

Is it a trust, or a time to assess thing? In the relatively short time that he was at each club, do we know if they had any Academy players that had enough quality to step into 1st Team Football? With the obvious investments that we have made in the HPC / Academy, I'm trusting (praying) that our Academy players are further down the First Team football pathway than either Oxford or MK.

Agreed. On the basis that we have brought in a 'progressive' coach (effectively for the whole club structure), do you think we have existing players that will thrive under what seems to be a different playing philosophy?

I'm worried that we might start to 'click' with the possession plus counter attacking game and win a few on the bounce. That could cause mayhem on here.....

Really disappointed by the nature of the result, but do feel encouraged by some of the football I am seeing. Too much emotion about NP circumstances to be balanced, but think I see a higher ceiling to the football that LM will try to play. It isn't one style or another (NP/LM) - we still have that counter attacking quality in the group, but think some of our players' lack of technical quality might be exposed. I'll bite my lip and give it until the end of January to have a better view on it....

Also appreciated - just booked a last minute 'daughter driving'...

The question for me is whether the club 'ceiling' is now higher with Liam Manning at BCFC rather than Nige, and why?

Reading through the topic about best away grounds got me thinking and smiling.... My daughter has a list of Away Ground food with ratings....... She even has a sub-list specifically for Balti / Curry pies.... Portsmouth are currently top of her list of 9 - any challengers?

That game at Filbert St...... Asked a Copper for a 'safe, away' pub - walked into a sea of blue that went deathly quiet... Got a taxi to Filbert St 'Away End, please' - he said 'I'll drop you here, just walk around that corner'...... a walk through a 'noisy' Home End....... Got back to the 'safe' car park (soaking wet)- car broken into, stereo gone, had to drive back with the seat belt through the door handle to keep the door closed..... Still one of the best away days / grounds for me....

8 for me. Stormed to 6 right after 8 questions, then went all Spursy....

Our new midfielder?

By the time he was signed, and match fit, we'd only need him for 7 months.....

No, it is - Ted’s son. ?

Any decision will be hard, core of the team needs to be considered...

That Hogan speed slot was a thing of beauty in it's day.....

Virgil Van Vyner..... ?

Healthy culture, positive attractive football...... There must be a point in the future when that's not enough, and we demand more than play offs..... or sack everyone! We are Bristol City - it's what we will do ?

Sounds like me playing golf - just can't get Chris waddle and pizzas out of my head.....
