I don’t think I’ve ever seen a severnside ‘derby’ so flat as this.

So poor all round. 

Afternoon is it…

No Naismith or James in the squad 

Sure I heard from LM Naismith would be available this week?

Am about to drive from Berkshire, and people moaning in Bristol, saying can't get the car out etc. Spoken to a few local friends and what is being shown on here is hysteria at it's finest. 

What has happened to this country?

The term snowflake has never been more apt. 

Just drive carefully where there is snow and you'll be fine.

Talk of canceling a game due to a bit of snow.. give your heads a wobble. 

Not every driveway or road is an open main road for everybody. It’s not as easy for some like you suggest!

Might disrupt the Welsh getting here?

I don’t think the west side of Bristol and Wales have been affected.

If the area around AG is fine then the game will be on. 
 

We had this against Sheffield Wednesday a few years back, the rest of Bristol was hit quite badly but around BS3 it wasn’t so bad and the game went ahead.

 

Didn’t we win that game 4-0 aswell?

I know I’m clutching…

Looks like the east side of Bristol has been hit worse.

I did hear a snippet of Manning talking about the lack of time again on working with the players in that interview. Just a passing comment…

Didn’t really like his answers if I’m being honest. 

Don’t understand the cheering point. Why?

Maybe a form of recognition before the game but nothing more.

Diedhiou - a song or boos?
 

Neither. When his name is announced it will be a gentle applause from me. Then completely ignored during the game…

Bristol City vs Cardiff in the 2000s was light years ahead of what it is now.

Oh yeah, no question.

That’s football in general though.

For me I care as much about losing to Cardiff as I would Sheffield Wednesday. There was a lot of violence between the two sets of fans years ago, but I just think we're trying to force a 'derby' by coining it with Severnside. 

It’s England and Wales. Two big Cities side by side.

I enjoy them, they’re very good games to have I think. Especially as the blue few are effin useless in this City.

Another promising career being kindled by Brian Tinnion!

Yes and that’s where BT should be, the youth development side.

Not the big boys meeting room.

I’d have started with Jimmy and Bashir but that’s just me! 

Yeah a bit bizarre. 

Turns out we can’t bowl either today.

I’d rather Foakes played a bit more aggressively there. Get a quick fire 20-30 more runs and have more time to bowl at India late in the day.

In a couple of weeks I expect the club to be pushing Season Tickets. It's going to be a hard sell for sure. 

After a flukey result that goes in our favour no doubt.

India are unbearable when they are on top.

Annoying.

Anyone been to Black Cumin on Cotham Hill?

Seems to get good reviews and I fancy a trip back to a bit of Bristol where I spent most of the nineties. 

Yes. Went there just before Christmas and it was very good.

Ffs.

What a crap weekend this is turning into.

Yes you’re absolutely right mate, spot on

It’s hard to disagree with those two though?

At this moment, Cornick and Mehmeti have been poor signings. But that’s only two signings. I think it looks worse as they both came in together at the same time.

How can that be pitching in line? Umpires call at best.

It just didn’t look right, even on live viewing. 
 

Bugger another one gone. Need a big Stokes innings here

That did not look out at all.

This is the sort of wicket you need to play with a straight bat. Plenty of singles on offer….

Just keep it ticking and bore India here.

Back him (on the basis that the Lansdown's simply won't fire him), fire Sid immediately LIKE TOMORROW MORNING. Get a QUALIFIED Technical Director in that can help Manning.
