Worth!

Mmmm...that's what I was thinking. Strange looking line-up. Midfield looks like it'll get annihilated. Very attacking though, so maybe it'll surprise? I had a strange feeling today that we might get something here tonight. As I type, we've scored!!!! YES!!!

Agree with all 3 of these posts.

Not being backed by the owner from DAY ONE probably didn't help.

You know I can never watch sober mate!! I will agree that the games v Stevenage & MK Dons were both entertaining. But so was the home game v Bradford, and the one v Orient, and the one away at Cov. All very entertaining games I thought. And the one away at MK. And away at Carlisle. The 2 games this week seem to have been entertaining more for the fact that the opposition were much better than us and could score at will.

I'm glad you feel this way Noggers. Believe me, many don't. And their hypocrisy will come to bear. For what it's worth (and I admit it may not seem that way judging by my recent comments), I also have been keeping my powder dry and hoping to be persuaded he is the right man. I'm not seeing it so far though, but I'll keep looking.

I'll stick my neck out and say that Cotterill doesn't have personality. He has bluff and bluster and very little substance. And I will stand by that.

And this is where the anti-Sodites and Cotterettes will be seen to be hypocritical. SOD came in half way through a transfer window with no funds provided to him, with a team in 24th place and 20 games remaining. Cotts came in 4 weeks before a transfer window, with funds being promised, with a team in 23rd place and 28 games remaining. The anti-Sodites blamed SOD for our relegation last season. If we get relegated this season, the Cotterettes will still blame SOD, even though he has taken over a team better placed, with 8 more games and more funds available.

Yeah, I'm in no way defending the previous Manager and his poor record - it is quite indefensible. But, had Fielding not had that mad moment v Bradford, Fonts not effed up a simple ball over the top v Cov, Baldock slotted into an empty net away at MK, Balders again put his chance away at Gills, Flint not passed it to Lee Hughes at Vale, Waggy not unnecessarily bundled over his man in injury time at Crewe then SOD might easily have had an extra 10 points on the board and things looking healthier. I've mentioned many times during Sod's reign how the player errors were telling - and that it was the more experienced players making these errors, but it was a futile argument according to most on here. All's I'm now suggesting is that the anti-Sodites bleated on and on about Sod being responsible and yet now all we're hearing from the Cotterettes is how the players individual errors are to blame, when in actual fact, the situation is exactly the same - ergo, was a change at the top necessary? Folks on here can't have it both ways - either the players are at fault or the manager is at fault, not one or the other depending on who you like.

Well, SOD got carted out because of this. It's been the same story all season. We generally put in a decent performance, but either miss sitters or concede idiotic goals. One Manager has been blamed and sacked because of it, whilst the other Manager is having the blame passed on to the players.

I mentioned on here the other day Noggers. May just be a coincidence, but their poor run of form has coincided with Matthew Bates being in the line-up after Andrew Davies got injured. With Davies - Won 6, Drew 3, Lost 1. With Bates - Won 0, Drew 6, Lost 7.

And the Kidderminster lad will probably be Joe Lolley. Someone we should also be sniffing around.

Is the Manager to blame? Negative subs, sitting on a lead?

County Commentators are feeling justice is done - ref has basically leveled it up. So - will we see the usual question marks over the negative / defensive substitutions?

That's a lot of people leaving early. Away following today must consist mostly of Dolmanites!

That was according to the County commentator. I think they were expecting about 5 minutes for the Liddle injury earlier in the half, so when the board showed 2 they were narked! The 2nd injury occurred within the injury time, so in the end he played about 2 and a half minutes when he should have played about 5. Sounds like we're really getting under their skins - we've become a dirty team overnight!!!!

Looks like we're getting the little bit of luck that has deserted us for a long time. I'm listening to the Notts County commentary and they're a pretty livid bunch! Sounds like we weathered an early storm before we managed to crock one of their best players without even a hint of a booking, we then get what appears to be an incredibly lucky penalty, and then manage to crock their striker too. The injuries totaled about 12 minutes and the ref added on about 4!! I'll be amazed if he doesn't add at least 10 at the end of 90 mins - if he doesn't the County commentator will blow a gasket I think! They're saying that if the ref gives the penalty then he'll be giving one at every corner. Sounds VERY soft. I'm pleased that Reid & Pack have been brought back in and pleased that we're up at half-time. All I'll say is that it appears we've ridden our luck a little in terms of the penalty and the fouls/injuries. Seems as if 'Cotts' has instilled an 'edgier' attitude to some of our lads!

Oops!! Yes I will try to get HMHB tickets!!

I've counted 10 now!

I find it amazing how the board bottled the press conference for 'Cotts' because they'd received a bit of stick for sacking SOD. Nothing like sticking to your guns, eh! Backing your decision, fronting up. Of all the things going wrong at this club over the last few years, this is the one I find most laughable, and most unacceptable. Dawe - Harman - J Lansdown - Arathoon : YOU made the decision to sack SOD. YOU made the decision to appoint 'Cotts'. YOU should be bold enough to stand by your decisions, not wimp out and hope it all goes away. Have courage in your convictions. This is the most yellow-bellied action yet from this as yet unproven group of men. I'm appalled by this, I really am.

Ian Holloway is a Bristol Rovers fan who has openly stated his hatred of Bristol City Football Club and it's Supporters. Hopefully that should be enough for us to make up our minds on this one. Taking it to the extreme, I wouldn't expect President Ahmadinejad of Iran to rock up as the President of the USA any time soon! I'm not sure a lot of our fans truly "get it" here. Of all the people I personally know who are City fans (and I'd safely number that in the 200-300 bracket, maybe more) I don't know a single one who would attend Ashton Gate if this maggot was in charge. Call me small-minded or whatever you want. He hates City, and I despise him. Not just based on his footballing persona/history/allegience, but I have had personal dealings with the maggot and I can safely share with you all that he is a 100% confirmed a-hole. Hope that's clear.

Indeed it is. Quantify your opinion then?

My god Glos, you're talking some awful bollux tonight! So, "Dreary's" signings have no value? Are you telling me that the vastly improving Derek Williams, signed for NOTHING, is not worth more now than he was 5 months ago? Are you telling me that Bryan & Reid, both of whom were pretty much going nowhere under previous managers, do not have a significantly higher market value than they did 5 months ago? Parrish - signed for nothing. Worth something now don't you think? As for "money down the drain loans". Who are these then? O'Connor came in on loan, did ok and then got injured. Dunk the same. McLaughlin was brought in as a good cover option for a position where we lacked depth. None of these will have cost very much. Who are these "money down the drain" loans you speak of? To be honest, I'm not even sure why I've bitten on this post, but sadly, some folks will actually listen to what you have to say Glos, and I'd like to point out what a whole heap of bullcrap it is!

We're laughing at you because you refused to believe the word of KITR who has his nose inside these issues. Your lot were all so supremely confident that everything would smooth through and had the audacity to take the p*ss out of KITR. I couldn't really give a sh*t whether you get your sh*thole built or not, but I'm laughing at you because your lot were outsmarted by the opening poster here. Just because he's what you'd so humorously and inventively call a "Sheed" you immediately took his opinion as worthless. Have you learned any valuable lessons? Probably not you thick tw*t.
