17 starts in the league, 12 missed out injured, under a manager who a lot of people would have here in an instant. Got to be something about his play other than goals, assists.....

Or more likely the sun was in the keepers face it being a lunchtime kickoff, so gave Max that problem

One for the fans as was Tomlin.

Exactly this. It's about him and his tactical ability to outsmart the opponent. How well the team did this or that according to the way he set them up. As I think DaveFevs said elsewhere, he's always tinkering and changing according to the opposition rather than let the opposition blink first - because he has to outthink them rather than just outplay them. LJ was exactly the same - head-to-head with Mourinho for example, looking forward to taking on Pep - he said as much at the time. Maybe this is what's behind winning and losing streaks, perhaps .....

James Piercy as well so should be a good listen.

He did, he name-checked Richard Keogh on Radio Bristol at the time of the appointment! That's the level we are at.

Me too. No problem fortunately

Just provided a lengthy description during a break in play of the forgotten cup tie, 50 years ago when we beat Leeds. Said he sat in the dressing room afterwards between Gerry Gow and Ernie Hunt, one of the best days of his life. Recommended listeners should look it up.

Sir Alex Ferguson made exactly the same point when ManU played in grey and said they would never again.

If they were not going to renew NP's contract, then I don't really see a more convenient time, given they would not be buying in the January window if not keeping the manager. Had to give the new man time to assess the squad first before window. So, timing was as good as it would get IMO.

Yeh, Liam Brady destroyed us!

Most talked about coach in France

Nice article, good read. How Sheridan Robins’ passion for Yeovil Town underpins her BBC rise – Somerset’s Alive! (somersetsalive.co.uk) Extract Sheridan told Somerset’s Alive!: “I have had my fair share of criticism too and that takes some getting used to. You have to realise you are not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and take feedback on board. “But, I also get a huge amount of support and for that I am grateful. I give it my all and can honestly say I work hard to be prepared for every game and situation. I also hope my passion for the game comes across.”

He's previously said we have a plan if he stays and we have a plan if he goes - so I think your confidence is well founded.

Only works if they're not washed between games!! ?

Done!

CM gone to Gillingham according to Bristol Live

Reminds me of a young Michael Owen when he burst on the scene ...... BTW I can see Kal Naismith slotting into that midfield role like Tinns in his last few playing years - with the young one's around him to do the running. Left foot just as good ....

There was much derision on here about the 5 pillars, somewhat unfairly IMO. One of those related to the pathway from academy to 1st team. NP has inherited this and benefitting from it.

Maybe because it was U21s today

Tell us more.....

No doubt, and the paperboy ......

David's brother lived around the corner in Reedley Road. David, I believe, bought a new-build flat overlooking the County Ground. Could watch for free! Also, Bill Athey lived off Reedley Road when he played for Glos. I think some of the current Bears may be nearby as well. Going back, Norman Hunter was nearby as were the Mabbutts.

Yes

Plenty of players whose right leg was only for standing on .... Brian Drysdale, Terry Cooper, Alan Walsh, Brian Tinnion. Didn't they say of Liam Brady - if you've got a left foot like he has, who needs a right foot to kick with. Funny how right foot only players never seem to stick in the mind.
