I’m guessing there aren’t many who will be playing regularly at Championship level!!

So by the break for the World Cup we will likely have a good handle on how the table will finish and if we are playoff contenders. FWIW unless we are destabilised by the Jan window or have an horrific run of injuries I don’t think we will have a post Christmas collapse.

Conway starts for U21’s. Live on YouTube.

Interestingly (to me anyway) the 21/22 table at the end of September to the end of the season shows it taking shape at the top and bottom. Two of the top 3 going up automatically and 3 of the bottom four going down. Play off teams spread throughout. I wonder if the current table shows similar? Sheff Utd and Norwich to go up? Relegation 3 from the current 6/8? You would imagine West Brom and Middlesbrough will climb the table. The others I’m not so sure.

Taking back control. Wexit??

Here it is.

Surely they should be on 14 points as they’ve beaten Oxford and Burton in ‘six pointers’. Gas logic

Pretty fair minded and accurate summary IMHO.

Not with 3 shots on target.

Perhaps he will stay and train at the HPC but will get the benefit of more physically competitive games. I trust BT to do what he thinks Josh needs.

FWIW I think Naismith will improve his decision making in the medium term. He is clearly an intelligent footballer, but what most people don’t/ choose not to recognise that he is a baby in centre back terms. Certainly has not played regularly in the middle of a 3. He is central to so much that is good about our patterns of play. He has not quite got a handle on the extra risks of being last man but I’m sure it will come. When it does he will be phenomenal. As an aside I can’t remember the last time I felt so positive after a defeat. Tonight is the performance that has convinced me we are genuine playoff contenders this season.

Wow. Talk about glass half empty. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it more Saturday when we give Burnley a spanking!

I am so enjoying the way we’re playing. Win lose or draw I think it’s another step forward.

2-0 is a dangerous score. Just not sure who for!

Another Naismith mistake!

Big unit?

Found the team sheet from our last visit to Norwich. 7 of the 11 have left the club, and Vyner likely to be the only outfield player to start both games. I wonder how many of us would’ve thought that. Congratulations to Zak on his recent 100th appearance, and well done on working hard to improve and silence the doubters. (Myself included)

Not only TC, but Weimann and Wells in the top 9 too. Pretty impressive all round.

I genuinely believe he will take us to the premier league. Probably not this season but it’s coming.

Totally agree. I will be very happy with two performances in which we compete. That in itself will show significant progression. Any points and that will be a serious bonus.

Whoever runs the club must be a proper manager. Not only attacking bowls but a promotion to the premier league (2)!

So have I got this correct? Football (including all grass roots and kids) and boxing are cancelled. Rugby, cricket and golf go ahead tomorrow. Horse racing resumes on Sunday and to cap it off the Bears are playing Bath at Ashton Gate early Saturday evening. Currently there is no indication of when football will return. Interesting….

Kalas out until Oct/Nov, Benarous until Christmas. (Hopefully @joe jordans teethhas no objections as they are our players ?)
