cityironman Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Back in the top division where they belong, top coach at the helm and good times ahead. Why is it that the penny has dropped with the rugby guys that to really progress they needed to push the boat out with regards to the coach & players but the football team....................??

joe jordans teeth Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Because it looks like the prem is going to shut up shop next season and stop promotion for 5 years,if it happened in football then I’m sure lansdown would push the boat out to try for prem football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Maybe because the rugby Championship is a relatively weak League, whereas the football Championship is a very high standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all, just don't want to read about it in the FOOTBALL forum the same way I don't want to read about eBay listings in the podcast forum.

Don't think so, lessons learned from last time, as previously stated top coach at the helm & some top quality players lined up. All befitting a superb stadium & city!!

Jury still out on whether the coach is "high class". Yet to achieve anything different than several of his predecessors in the professional era.

Bazooka Joe Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yeh well done. However, the "we're not specifically chasing promotion this season" clearly didn't apply to Bristol Rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I'll try again as you've predictably picked on the Robinson bit and ignored the rest. In terms of resources Bristol in that league are the equivalent of Man U playing in League 1. If Man U got promoted from that league at the first time of asking, would it indicate they've got a "high class" coach? Not in my opinion. Next year will tell us much more about Pat Lam.

Redandwhitescarf Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Think Bristol Sport can only cope with one promotion a season. They were geared up for the rugby and then there was a danger at Christmas that the football club would also gain promotion. Well done to the Rugby boys, but it's our turn next season.

You're right Geoff, it will show us about Pat Lam. I think the portents are good though. He is no mug, has a very clear vision and approach and has dealt with the first season in the correct way. Respected the opposition, instilled a mentality that has meant we've won 19 out of 20 games as well as a clear style of play. He's taken advantage of what is in effect a free season to work out which players can do a job in the Premiership. I like the way he's improved Jo Joyce in particular. The recruitment looks to be excellent. He's used the season in the Championship to cherry pick 8 players from other sides that he thinks can make the step up. Now that we are definitely promoted, I expect to hear of 2 or 3 more signings in advance of season ticket prices being announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
