DT The Optimist Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 1 hour ago, JoeAman08 said: Wasn’t he basically recalled to integrate into the first team for NEXT season? Think LJ said something along those lines. I imagine he will see minutes at some point especially if we fall out of the top 6 race. As for the recall, probably a bit frustrating for him but for Bristol City we are just trying to see if he can be an answer for next season. As a fanbase we should trust the club on this one imo. My initial reaction (knee jerk I guess) was like many here, why bring him back early and then he vanishes off the radar. No game time in mens real football. After all he had rave reviews from pundits and managers alike during the Newport cup run. You would have thought the logic was carry on in L2 gaining experience and next season after a full close season he will be knocking on our first team door. I have either read, or been told, that LJ has stated that it will take him 6 months to get up to speed and the standard required and the way we play, and it is expected he will be challenging next season. I suppose that makes sense if you think that the fan base as a whole think we need more firepower and we might already have it in the ranks, to save a wedge of cash on striker transfers in the summer ? I suspect we have to trust the management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would gladly start him over Diedhieu as he is more of "Bobby". Our best football last season was played with Diedhieu injured and Bobby alone on top. You’d rather he played instead of Fammy? Well I’ve heard it all now! Some people talk out their arse!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have brought him back aftter the season end and get him accustomed to our playing style in the 2 months pre season. Personally would like to see him given time this year ,perhaps as an impact sub for Fam /Weimann / Patterson for last 20 minutes etc As for Mo Eisa don't get me started. Complete waste of time and money buying him if we don't play him. Ditto sub for Fam for last 15. Not as if Fam is scoring goals for fun is it. Because by coming back he gets an extra 6 months of training with higher quality coaches and players as well as being integrated into our squad and style of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys need exposure to the Championship way of doing things. Everything is different from L2, starting with the quality of the opposition and quality of the pitches. Next - the first team bespoke coaches are non existent in L2, the overnight accommodations are superior and that’s as well the top quality training these guys are taking part in. They both need time to acclimatise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 It would represent a gamble to start him in ahead of Fam and Taylor. I don’t understand the logic. By all means bring him on as a sub but to start him? No manager would do that unless they had injuries or were rolling the dice. Neither applies to our current situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we have to trust the management. Think half a season will serve its purpose in terms of experience. Especially considering the reports of him looking comfortable at that level(and higher in FA Cup games). Then take into account he was being played out of position a lot of the time. Guess my point is, perhaps enough had been seen of him at that level. That he can compete physically of mens football and now they want to train individual parts of his game for next season like his movement and finishing on top of learning our play style. On the bench today and imagine he gets minutes before the season is up. It is not as if we mess about with our young players either. This is the first time we have done something like this so make you think there is more reasoning to it than just having him around for cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Was very good when he came on. Already holds off CBs better than Fam. Actually freed up Fam a bit I thought and he started popping up in different areas of the pitch as a threat. Unlucky as we had a little spell where we could have won it but good point anyway.

DT The Optimist Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Well wow ! Gary Owers says strong, young, powerful, looking a right handful and impacted the game. Looking forward to comments from those who saw it rather than my car and living room, but looks like he has now given LJ a right headache. Seems like he also freed up Fam. Great cause for some optimism in the final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
