Londoner Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 4 goals in 30 since joining Brighton gives the impression, and certainly from talking to Brighton fans...that he isn't good enough for a club at the top. as for Kodjia, if the other poster seriously thinks he wouldnt play to championship level or equivalent if he left us, you are delusional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint gets turned too often for me, bit can't doubt his passion, desire and commitment. Williams isn't a LWB so doesn't stand out, Kodja needs too many chances to score , Freeman hasn't performed to a level for a creative midfielder for me on a consistent basis. Baker would be at a championship club next year, probably Villa but isn't out player Pack? You having banter or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I don't mean to be rude or condescending.....but a lot of city fans do not grasp how football works, or understand the game....same with certain other fans. this isn't about shooting down people's opinions, it's about experience and quality, Pack if he left us would go to a championship club....before he signed for us he had offers on the table from championship clubs, that won't have changed....he is a better player now than when he arrived and his stock will have risen. he will go eventually to another championship club, if we go down it will be this summer considering his contract. if you think otherwise you are wrong, and don't grasp how football works.

All we need for him to truly shine is to have people near him in the final third. Only the very very best can do everything on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok , we're all entitled to our opinion and i disagree. At the moment he's struggling . I'm not saying he won't get better because he's young enough but we could do with some experience in the middle of the park to help them out.

The whole team is struggling, and I'm sorry but Pack had a considerably better game than Korey Smith did Saturday. Pack is a decent championship player and IMO would move to a half decent champ club....similar to Skuse when he went to Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall ability Korey is a better player although different types of players. Imo at championship level speed of thought and a football brain is very important and i don't think Marlon's is quite good enough , although i might be proved wrong if he had better movement in front of him.

Davefevs Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 3 hours ago, Spoons said: its not personal, just when someone tells you something you know is wrong I suppose you agree to disagree. Anyway I blame SC, sign some bloody players!! In @Spoons defence, a player can play in the same position but perform a different role. I no little about Wallace to add anything to that point though. Last season we lined up the same with Wade, Korey and Luke as we did with Marlon, Korey and Luke, but they were asked to perform different roles. If Marlon got injured tomorrow and we lined up 352 v Preston, we would still line up the same but I doubt we would ask Korey or Bobby to play the screen. There is a part of me that says that Marlon's screen means he almost always sat on top of Flint. Why not let Flont come through and winning and then Marlon be closer to the dropping ball. Ayling or Baker can drop off if Flint attacks the ball. Versus Hull, had Flint attacked the ball, Maloney would've been offside. I appreciate that is an isolated incident, but my old manager always wanted his two centre halves (we played a three) to win the long balls forward, not the centre mids.

22A Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Connor Washington has already scored 14 goals this season for P'boro'. P'boro' have announced they need to sell him due to their low attendances, but have turned down three bids for the player from Championship clubs. The latest bid was three million today from Reading. A club spokesman on tonight's local news hinted he may not play tomorrow so won't be injured or cup tied should a big offer come in for him.

After all; we're waiting on the 'chain'/'cycle'/'dominos'/'house of cards'/'Ouroboros' or whatever garbage buzz word smoke screen jargon the club is using now to describe their unwillingness to get involved in the transfer market. But don't worry, give it one or two seasons after this lad gets his move, increases his value, gets snapped up by a top flight club, become a bit part player there, and THEN we'll panic bid on him when this nonsense waiting-game that we seem to be the only ones playing each window collapses, and we're forced to try (and fail) to throw money at our problems. It's the Bristol City way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ridiculous. 27 goals in 81 apps. equals exactly 1:3. At League 1 level. How do Peterboro' manage to get such fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Odds have dropped from 20/1 to favourites for us to sign Zach Clough from Bolton. https://m.skybet.com/football/transfer-specials/event/18773062 Bolton have accepted an offer. Reading around it is a surprise Championship club that has blown the competition out of the market with the fee offered. Player is reluctant to join said club. Sounds like us.

Perhaps wants to help the team, rather than help relegate it. Equally; he is certainly a talent, so I would not be disappointed if we did somehow get him, though I think a certain Welsh Under 21 would be. 3 minutes ago, Phileas Fogg said: Would be textbook Bristol city wouldn't it - turns us down and goes to Sheffield Weds or somewhere.
