I think we are all mostly unsure about him but after watching full presser and fresh from watching game at Norwich I have to say to me he comes across as someone who is a bit obsessed with the science of football and computer stats football but has a strategy and a focus on a team identity that we probably haven't ever had, I think we have definitely seen some impressive performances on occasions also some tactics that clearly didn't work so for now I am feeling more positive in giving him a breather and seeing what pre season shows us , coyr.

I think to move on we need to replace Williams and James,we are going no where with these two apart from staying mid table which jl doesn't think is enough,I would put naismith in front of back 4 who are solid enough and hopefully to add mcrorie . dickie & vyner can both carry out into midfield when needed as can Atkinson when available so naismith is not the only option. Naismith if fit of course is always looking for a killer pass where James is safety first (not a fault but not progressive either, )I think we have movement available with Sykes tgh Knight Bell conway etc but it gets stuck with the steady James (,my opinion) where as naismith is more forward thinking and would instantly be looking to play forward rather than sideways.i would bring james or Williams on to save a game not win it. I would leave it to LM to organise in front of back 4 and naismith but think we have the players to be front foot from there.

I would replace James with naismith,naismith is a forward passer looking for openings James is a safety first negative passer neither has pace both can sit in front of defence but for me a big difference in end product. Maybe. Oleary Tanner vyner dickie pring naismith Sykes Knight mehmeti ( bell) Wells conway With subs to hold out or push on Tgh James Williams cornick Hmm not easy to pick .I probably change opinion after every game

No he seems like he knows what he wants and usually those types are not yes men.

This is his biggest opportunity to do something in his management career so far, Decent championship side with good fan base I think a good squad with a few additions in Jan he must be over the moon to have this chance I am quietly excited.

Absolutely right 3 spread out hadn't worked conway no good on his own in the middle ,basically he is just being battered by giant centre half's on his own and its is usually 2 .he is not an aerial ball winner he needs a partner to work gaps with on the floor like Wells don't know why we persevere with it..

Agree let's be honest we are unfortunately a decent championship side only, with again a decent chance of taking off. Good strong fan base and currently a decent top 10 squad injuries aside.Bristol is one of the best places to be in uk outside of London if I was Frank lampard I would be thinking I need to do something soon to prove I can cut it as a manager and somewhere like bristol city is a perfect opportunity, He would bring a lot of interest to our club and I think I would enjoy the ride as long as it lasted. We don't really expect to be in the prem soon and I don't think he would get us relegated so why not.i think he is a tracksuit manager and that might make a difference nige wasn't. That's not knocking nige just making a change.I think he is a decent shout.

I think they will play for Curtis

I think Curtis is a good guy to have left,it

My thoughts too

Yep being treated as less than an academy player can't understand why he is not getting 15 mins to try something he was bought for.

That's why Nige bought him cos he is unpredictable a maverick surely worth a chance

Correct

Not playing at all?

Can't think of any reason why he can't get on at all as an attacking change even when it's not working up front strange
