Although I agree with your point with regards there is potentially an argument that LJs team was weaker than the current one, I think you have got quite a few on your list that Pearson got rid of, that is not correct. Taylor, Elliasson, Morrell, Szmodic, Bailey Wright we’re definitely sold by other managers. But in general, yes, I think this team should be looking at around 10th - 12th at least I’d say personally, we are underperforming. But in saying that, I would stick with Pearson, as I would of with LJ. COYR

So could be 3rd time lucky for us! is that what you’re saying? COYR

Have now seen the interview, don’t really get the reaction in all honesty. I think Pearson knows he’s had a fairly patient fan base & he has often commented on it. Nothing to see for me. COYR

I’ve not heard the interview also, but I totally agree that he has been given a fairly easy ride so far by the fans, considering the results. But I also think he’s well aware of that & I'm sure he has given a nod to that during quite a few interviews. COYR

I think that is something most clubs will be doing following on from Covid & FFP. There is something of a re-evaluation going on for most clubs, certainly under the Prem. I think it’s been mentioned quite a few times that players will have to come to terms with this. Wells is a great example of this & im only guessing, but I would suggest that was a bigger drop than most will have to sacrifice. COYR

When you say ‘ the powers that be ‘ you mean Nige? That’s one of the things I like about him, he knows what he’s dealing with & just gets on with it. I actually think there’s an element of him enjoying it as well. COYR

Striker from Spain. Had a decent touch & thought he looked quite tidy. But only used sparingly if I recall. Fairly sure he played in the Spanish top league before us. COYR

Have only seen the goal once, via a post put up on the match day topic, but my initial thought was that Weimann should of been covering around the back, he can see everything in front him. Your snapshots sort of confirm what I thought. I presume he was playing right wing back? Doesn’t sense the danger & caught on his heels a bit. A more defensive player senses that, comes in a few yards & gets their head to it & out it goes for a corner? Great win though. COYR

He’s a big Liverpool fan, after City of course! He had a trial at Liverpool, seem to remember it being at the same time we played Liverpool in the cup. His trial went well, Tinnion scored, Souness got sacked & that was the end of that! COYR

He’d love Liverpool I would think. Might be pushing it mind! COYR

You and your common sense! COYR

Am I missing something? Have just seen this on Bristol live & a statement from the club! Because I’m fairly confident that the retail offering up to Christmas has been affected. I’ve had an email saying my order which was made & paid for last week (Christmas present ) is out of stock! COYR Home shirts remain in limited stock and there are no available sizes above a large online. There are only small and medium sizes in the adult goalkeeper jersey but the club say they have received stock for the 2022/23 season. In a statement, the club told Bristol Live: "We can confirm that Elite Sports Group, Bristol City’s kit supplier and UK distributor for hummel has gone into administration. We’ve received our stock for the 22/23 season and can reassure fans that our retail offering in the run-up to Christmas will not be affected. We are working with hummel Denmark to understand the process going forwards."

Have had an email from City cancelling an order for a youth rain jacket, which was placed & paid for last week. As it is out of stock. Teach me for trying to be organised! COYR

Sounded like a bingo caller to me! COYR

I went to the ladies game this afternoon & thought I’d chance my luck. No such luck, no 3rd kit shorts available. But my order that was meant to be delivered was there if I wanted to take it on. Lad basically said what you have mentioned & that he thinks they don’t like having stock left over! There seems to be this type of topic every season with the City shop, but this is possibly up there with the worse. COYR

Anyone know if they sell kids away football shorts? Went online to get some kits! Managed to get the 3rd kit in YL ( if anyone is struggling ), but can’t see either of the 2nd or 3rd kit shorts on the site. It doesn’t help that the online shop is not the best to navigate mind! Nothing is ever easy with City! COYR

Think I read yesterday that the owner is looking to sell as the club is haemorrhaging money. So this would probably be a cheap option. COYR

I thought you were going to ask if it was over the line! COYR

Typical of Joe that, he is a really decent lad & have followed his career with interest since he left City. I’ll never forget the gesture he made for my lad, when we lost his season ticket. He didn’t need to get involved, but he was absolute class. I actually think he would be right up Pearson’s street! COYR

I went for Wells, I just think the attitude he’s had ( never bought into the bad attitude jibes he once had, more frustrated player imo ), the effect he’s had on other players around him & obviously the performances on top of that. We look better when he’s in the team. Conway would be young player of the year ( half year! ). COYR

Lack of class shown towards the injured player. No excuses, don’t care if he’s slamming his hand on the ground or whatever. Shame really, as I thought the crowd were generally good today, especially the second half. COYR

I always look towards the bench for that & I think there are a lot of clubs in the Championship that would like that bench! COYR

Yeah, been there a while I think. Lives locally doesn’t he? COYR

Because the weight of the pass was poor, he had to wait & wait before it got to him. Have only seen a clip of the goal granted. I’ve said it so many times, pas the bloody ball with some purpose! COYR

It’s a new rule, ‘it’s where the ball bounces ‘. COYR
