  1. Great performance last night, but that isn’t the Luton of last year in all honesty, even though they have apparently made signings. Think they have only scored once this season & it showed. Would not be surprised if they struggle. COYR
  2. He gives you movement, in behind & he can come short with his back to goal. He also plays with his head up & sees a pass. First start & I thought he took his opportunity well. COYR
  3. Played well tonight, but some of the things he did tonight on another night, don’t come off & people on here will be slaughtering him. Personally I’m happy with how he plays & accept that occasionally he’s going to come a cropper! COYR
  4. I think that is exactly right. Would of loved Wells & Conway to stay on, but they haven’t had a lot of football & we’re probably blowing after the effort they had put in tonight. Think he went with height & experience. COYR
  5. Movement, movement, movement. Really enjoyed that first half. Good movement, good rotations, tenacity, running in behind, coming short, looking after the ball well. Keep it going & don’t let the tempo drop. They will come out quick I would imagine, so might be able to catch them out on the break. COYR
  6. £12m sounds cheap to me for a young international striker who is in contract for a reasonable amount of time. Needs to be closer to £18m - £20m I would think. COYR

    Bentley

    When I use to play, to be able to pass the ball, you had to A) have someone want it & B) have someone move to a position ( with intent!) that creates the angle for the ball carrier to be able to pass it. Now I know the game is full of stats & phases now, but it’s still the same bloody simple game. As with anything, you have to get the basics right first. Bentley is one of our lesser problems I would say. COYR
  8. Too true. I thought there was some really good stuff first half, I can even put up with the 3rd minute blooper, as long as we’re trying to play the right way. Yes, there is 90 minutes in a game & that for me is my biggest concern from yesterday, we seemed to run out of steam around 55 - 60 minutes. Nige has said we are fitter than we were, I don’t see it on yesterday’s second half performance. Don’t know if it’s just me, but we seem to often look slower & smaller physically. We dropped too much in the second half & possibly the lines became too stretched. But the scapegoating on here on certain players is a bit much, especially after the second game of the season & one of which wasn’t meant to be starting! Definitely room for improvement, but some good signs in there that are seemingly easily forgotten after a loss. COYR
  9. One of the best players in the first 30 minutes. Did he get a whack just before half-time? Definitely tired in the second half, did he recover from the whack? As for people not rating him, game of opinions I suppose, but he could play a higher standard than most in our team. Seems to get highlighted by a lot on here, yet others don’t seem to get a mention & were fairly anonymous for most of the game. COYR
  10. Sun is shining, the pitch looks great & ever the optimist, I’ll go 3-1 to City. Think we will come out of the traps quickly today. Get in their faces, play at a high tempo & get the Gate rocking! COYR
  11. Scott & Semenyo both get a mention, scroll down, they are near the bottom! COYR
  12. Hi mate, much appreciated. Luckily have Wednesday off, so have booked the Stadium tour. Thanks once again. COYR
  13. Norwich, Peterborough & Mansfield to be promoted. Man City, Bayern, Celtic & PSG to win their leagues at 177/1. COYR
  14. Might be able to stop at Nigel’s family home for a while, until he settles in up there! COYR
  15. Saw the same post last week I think it was. Seem to remember the season card arrived on Thursday last week for one fan, along with a key ring! Ours haven’t turned up yet, so shouldn’t worry. COYR
  16. Was there ever any doubts? COYR
  17. Yep, just got back. Brilliant to see him live, not particularly his biggest fan, but glad we did it. He really is an amazing performer & at 75! Also great to see things like this happening at Ashton Gate. Great night. COYR
  18. I bet he does. Went tonight & asked for a programme, the lady replied “ is that the £20 one or the £50”! Nice little side earner I’d imagine! COYR
  19. I watched a podcast with Le Tiss earlier, I presume it’s where the OP got his quote from. Le Tiss actually says he got asked to wear the BLM badge 30 seconds before they went live, to which they had to make a quick decision, so he wore it. After the show he said he would not wear it again as he was concerned about that particular organisation ( short story ), but he would wear any other anti racial badge. The was also another story about how he tweeted how coincidental it was that a lot of teams were not publicly declaring their players having Covid, except for those teams that were in the relegation zone or fighting relegation. As if trying to put pressure on the Prem to cancel the season. Believe that particular subject was raised on here. Anyway, apparently one CEO of those clubs wrote to Sky officially complaining. Le Tiss believes he was stating facts. Where as Jamie Carragher broke the law. COYR
  20. Hi mate. Really appreciate the offer, but unfortunately we can only do Monday or Wednesday & also later in the evening. Thanks for the thought though. COYR
  21. All the while doing it in a different country & in the most competitive league in the world. Hopefully signs & improves with us, but if he won’t, as gutting as it would be, we need to sell him in this window. COYR
  22. Hi Jerry. I tried to book a tour for my son on Friday evening, but all dates/times were sold out. Can you confirm if there will be another opportunity for a tour, for the people who have missed out? Cheers. COYR
  23. As I said, the email I received didn’t say limited tickets. I presume you took that from the Club Site? Unfortunately, due to work, I was unable to try & get a tour until Friday evening. Hopefully they’ll be another chance. COYR
