**** Bristol Sport. **** Mark Ashton. Forza Bean.

Hahahahaha, outstanding.

I’d never thought I’d say this, but can I hear more from bristolcitysweden please.

Lee Johnson on looking at prospective new player’s social media- https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/exclusive-lee-johnson-gives-insight-202021 Can also remember Mark Ashton talking at length about it to Twentyman once. Possibly the same interview that GT showed obvious exasperation for the ‘ponds, rivers and lakes’? that we ‘fish in’. Almost as if the forum clown is talking complete shit again.

Of the many excuses being offered up in the last few weeks I think the myth about Jamie Paterson not being the same since his illness is probably the most irritating. He missed the game against Leeds in October due to his illness. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-citys-jamie-paterson-reflects-793893 In the above article he describes himself as being ‘back to normal’ before the Sheffield Wednesday game in November. His best form for City, and form that at the time had some describing him as one of the better players in the league came in December. The truth is Paterson’s form has taken a dive because firstly that’s the sort of player he is and secondly he probably hasn’t been helped by the god awful football we’ve largely played since Diedhiou returned to fitness and the shift in position that came from this with Paterson being shifted back out wide. But inconsistencies in the form of Paterson really shoudn’t come as any shock. That’s the player he is, great when he’s good, largely not much more than pointless when he’s bad. The sad reality is that if he showed his good form more often he’d probably be playing for a better team than us.

20 points in 21 games in 2018. Making it happen.

Always enjoy reading your posts @BobBobSuperBob but as someone who plays Football Manager on PC I’m offended by any comparison with Lee Johnson!

But the big question is surely whether Robbored is a leader, a standard setter or a follower. Fair play to Johnson though, I do agree we’d have won if we had Roy Keane. Or any other word class midfielder to be fair.

Just intrigued how you feel qualified to accuse me of wanting City to fail babe xxx

Come on then, how are you confidently making generalisations about someone you don’t know and have never met that they actively want their football team to fail. It’s funny if I accused a complete stranger of such a thing I’d expect them to give me some stick back.

No, I agree with that entirely @BobBobSuperBob

In what way am I ‘desperate for him to fail’ you fucking ***?

Think I’m correct in saying 9 (nine) players have played at right back since selling Ayling. If only any of them were even close to being as good as him.

Just another example of our absolutely fantastic recruitment. Great DNA.
