Sturny Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 If I showed you these pictures at the beginning of this year what would've you said? I'm aware holding onto these players was going to be tricky but we've made inferior replacements and I can't help but feel this has been one of the most disappointing windows in a long time Players come and go BUT THIS STILL SUCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murraysrightplum Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Always going to happen as we didn’t get promoted last season. We fended clubs off in January presumably telling the players “we’ll let you go in the summer if we don’t go up.” Always will be the case with us unless we become an established prem team, even then bigger clubs would be buying our best players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew that Flint Reid and Bryan would move on and LJ has recruited to cover their departures. Webster and DaSilva, Watkins along with Wieman have arrived and as yet we’ve seen just two of them play one game and yet you claim they’re inferior...........so whats you’re assessment based on? Got a magical crystal ball have you? Jeez...........we could do without daft comments like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 2 of the 3 - Flint and Bryan adequately replaced for me and £10m for Reid was far too good to turn down for a club that loses money. Happy with what we have done but I do hope for a loan CF and maybe a central MF with experience - 3 weeks yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 No problem whatsoever with the outbounds, it's the quality and volume of inbounds where eyebrows might be raised. Perchance we struggle, it'll be because of the latter, not the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 We’ve known for years now, years, that we will sell players we develop if the price/time is right to let them move on. Nothing new here. Kodjia, 2 years ago, set the tone. Not only sold for big cash, but to a team in the same division. We’ve known all summer these 3 were the most likely go, and we’ve had all summer to replace them, which we’ve done. To be honest, I’m glad they’ve got the moves to their respective levels, interesting of the three only one didn’t get that prem move. Onwards and upwards with some profit to reinvest in the club. It’s the way forward and I for one am glad the system of development and incremental progression we set out to create is working for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Put it this way. We have lost 3 players who were here before LJ. 3 core players we have depended on since our return to the Championship. Most that LJ has brought in have proven not to be as trusted.

My only issue is that LJ has not strengthened a weak and a not very creative midfield, I can see goals being scarce and midfield domination being even more scarce and that adds up to more of the same as the last 2 seasons for me but this season being more of a struggle than last season. I hope I am wrong and will gladly hold my hands up if I am. But he has bought himself another season whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Island Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Bristolian soul has been ripped out of the club these past few months with Joe, Bobby and Adam gone. Bringing in this Da Silva over Lloyd’s head was the final insult. Lets just change our name to Westcountry Robins, sign up officially as Chelsea’s U23 feeder team and be done with it.

Playing 2 centrally in a League where 3 is increasingly becoming the norm especially among good sides or fluid setups like Wolves last year, is asking for trouble IMO. (I know the formation and setup isn't as simple as that but it's got leanings that way). However it would be and would have been asking for trouble whether we'd kept Flint, Bryan and Reid or not.
