They might be in the shadow of their neighbours Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid but they are no mugs. I'm sure they gave us a good test. This is true. I remember a few years ago limited resources though they had, they played some of the best football in La Liga- outside of Barcelona of course. No idea if that's still the case...

Weren't certain posters saying the same thing this time last season? This season we have five new signings who are all Championship ready so to say we are weaker now because ( I assume ) Flint and Reid have moved on is utter nonsense.

City have signed 3 attack minded players and still have Djuric and Famara ( when he served his ridiculous ban) along with Patto all capable of finding the net. There are plenty of goals in the squad.

Djuric and Fam are injury prone and even when fit were hardly prolific, Patto slated by many on here for being hit or miss There are plenty of goals in the squad. plenty of goals in any squad but maybe the other teams might not want them to score Predict a slow start to our season that could run a while, with LJ blaming just about any/everything....... sorry but its my belief.

class not gas Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Sorry about the standard of reporting last night chaps but I was a bit worse for wear. Can say about what I remember from last night that City played some nice fooball but with no cutting edge,for me Elliasson was our best player and it was impossible to judge the keeper as he had nothing to do but his general distrubution was good. Not all doom and gloom but plenty of room for improvements also our fiight home this morning with Ryan air has been cancelled so were here now until Monday morning.

class not gas Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 No , I thought last season the team had goals in them, this season we look light weight up front. I know it's too early to judge but Weiman does not look like a centre forward to me and without Fammy for the first 6 games we could have a very difficult start and once you get dragged into a relegation fight it's hard to get away from it, hope I'm wrong and we come out the traps flying, only time will tell.

robin_unreliant Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Presumably Diedhou will be taking a back seat now so we can get what is likely to be our starting side ready. Looks likely Djuric is off if we sign Eisa so unlikely to see too much of him either. So we are going to remain 'lightweight' up front. A bit worried about what Bournemouth might do to us - and how that would affect morale with just a week to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worried about Bmouth, we will make show against them, Forest will be different and real as will be the coming months, our poor run will be early this year imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkz 76 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Truth be told all the player out sales should have been put back in to the playing squad. Unfortunately the chairman is not ambitious enough to take us to the promised land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Flint gone, replaced by Webster who I thought looked good. He must have something about him with the sell on clauses rumoured to be added. Reid gone but and I’m saying this as a Bobby Reid fan who in their wildest dreams expected we would be getting £10 million for him last season. I’m not yet in the Taylor camp but he does seem to score, his injury last night could be a hindrance as last season he was injured as well. But it would be interesting to see him fully fit for a run of games. Weisman (however you spell it) don’t look the answer to me on last nights viewing but love to be proved wrong. I think most promoted teams don’t have this 20 goal a season player, more reliant on goals throughout the team. Patterson, yes lost form last season but we know there’s a good player in there, will score. O’Dowda will also chip in a few. Diedhiou was a little less than Reid on goals v games last season plus with a long injury to come back from. I’m glass half full this season.

Simply put, we can't sign the players that are widely regarded to be good enough for the best 3/4 teams in this league. Therefore to expect a promotion race doesn't make sense imo.

class not gas Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I didn't mean that, it's if we get off to a poor start the crowd will be on Johnson's back and before you know it there's 20 odd games gone and it will be hard turning it around.
