Good to see him get recognition and agree he’s been excellent & reads game very well.

I thought he had the job recently vacated by Dave Barton as knows everything going on it seems.

Agree that option to buy was essential. However, in reality have we not just swapped Twine for Weimann for 6 months. Weimann was going to be sat on sidelines and leave and we get a ready to go player who will get games. Not naively suggesting Twine isn’t dearer but hopefully could help spark some entertainment which has been sparse recently. As a squad we haven’t added to depth which is as you know my big issue.

Could Sykes at number 10 be worth a shout as skilful, fast & scored a few. He’s technically very good and much as I love Knight he’s so not a 10 & this frees him up to drop deeper where he will be even better. Surely it’s easier and less money to sign a Right sided forward/winger than a 10?

With a threadbare squad & players returning but probably not up to full speed just makes sense for window to close & buy ourselves some time. Unless of course you know different & there’s 3 coming in within next 2 weeks?

I assume the rearranged date has to be mutually agreed or is it forced on you by the FA? If mutual, then someone our end needs shooting with Leeds on the Friday as why would you agree to that.

Twine was on our door step & seems a shame that we didn’t respond to that fact coupled with recommendations. However, we always hear about the ones that got away but what about those that were also recommended whose careers bombed after the recommendation thus avoiding us wasting money. Twine seems on parallel with gamblers who only ever tell you about their wins. I’m genuinely interested in the % of players who were recommended & went on to flourish against the total pool of all recommendations as no idea personally?

Does anyone know how much we get from the game being televised?

Thank you

Driving up for this one & does anyone have suggestions for parking near to M4 and getting a tube to Stratford ? Thanks in advance.

Bhoy would he be a good signing for someone.

Anyone who got carried away with thoughts of a play off place was frankly deluded, as even with wins we remain miles off it. I think the lows today are manner of our play, as not watched such a boring game since Brum on Friday. We have nobody to open teams up and play it around so slow that it’s boring. How many people were there today who were at their first game of season & what incentive is there for them to come back? Missed opportunity. We need pace & no idea why Bell didn’t start in place of Sykes as that’s the change we make ? Williams & James are too similar but would go with Williams at present but not both. Weimann wide is an absolute no for me. We need to be realistic and accept quality is not there & squad depth is killing us as 4 in 11 hurt us. We need new blood in January for sure & whilst im delighted with points return but I’ll be happier when we get to 50 points then everything else this year is a bonus.

Disappointing performance for me & a huge lost opportunity for a rare win at St Andrews. Just watched the Menehti headers back & two great chances that have to be taken. We moved the ball too slow to which Vyner was constantly moaning about which is good to see. Williams was superb and mom by a mile for me. Thought TGH was poor as slowed it down & caught on the ball. As others have said it’s a point gained but they were there for the taking & their fans would have made it toxic if we had scored. Thought Bell looked good when he came on and played a brilliant ball across 6 yard box. Im not sure how many of Blues team played at the Gate but what a contrast in the two games I’ve seen them in. If we could nick one from them then I’d have Bacuna all day long as quick, strong and technically very good.

Wasn’t it the cup game in 1983 ? Can remember being in the Bell at Redcliffe early doors for that one.

I’ve just collected tickets directly from Jerry at AG via a communication on X to SLO. Jerry did say they were over 500 tickets that needed collection & was hoping that the ticket office would open tomorrow as it would be carnage taking that many up there. Thanks to Jerry for his support today as top man & went over and beyond to help.

It’s quite simple for me in that you’ve made a huge statement about coming off X so just honour your word & stay off. If he wanted to wish everyone a Happy Xmas then do on the video released this morning. Not great judgement to come back on so soon after the dramatic exit.

Big shout out to Williams who was exactly what we needed at the time. He won the ball back and then kept it for us. I know he wasn’t on long but was superb on his little cameo.

Tanner was very good today against Clarke who personally I think is one of if not the best player in the league

I can’t fault Weimann today as won his tackles & helped us over the line

Stonewall that one

Yes was good …. Can certainly ping it a good old distance. Have to say mostly went. long so none of this playing out from back . Bak is a unit & James was up against a small winger so as I say it was 90% long balls from him. Meerholz is a good comparison to Morton but definitely more mobile. Was really impressed by him.

Amongst all the gloom, I went to watch the 18s to see the next generation & have to say it was a really good performance in a 3-0 win. The best player on the pitch was Meerholz who always had time & found space. All left foot but glides past people & can understand why he’s in & around 1st team. Very creative player. It was a good all round performance but shout out for Taine Anderson who looks a good player & Nelson is absolutely rapid. Not seen Billy Phillips but he was really lively. Too early to know who will kick on but thankfully this group look really good

I’m trying to be patient with Manning & hope he comes good. However, he’s making it very hard with some self inflicted terrible decisions such as Bell over Pring, Williams over TGH & constantly subbing Sykes. Stop trying to be too clever Liam & over think it & help yourself first by managing the controllables

Hope I eat my words but that team selection is bizarre to say the least. Just makes no sense to me.

That’ll be the Marvin Brown connection as he runs his own academy & connected to Keynsham first team
