steviestevieneville Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 @bodin You don't even need that good of a scouting network, invite a few players down to trial, hell the Nike Academy and V9 have spit out a lot of good players recently. Really !! This is what I mean about your delusion as a fan base. Our infrastructure has taken years to build and millions to build it. Our scouting network has grown massively over the last few years but it’s taken the infrastructure in place to achieve it. You think you can just invite a few players ! yeah it’s that easy ain’t it . Youre not playing a computer game mate. As regards mcgeedy. What I’m trying to get across is you saw him as a really good player to playing at league one level . The step up to championship is that big though that he’s below average to say the least. No disrespect but we do watch championship football regularly so we have a true reflection of how good he really is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence they do work. 2 hours ago, Gert Mare said: I’ve seen enough to know how obsessed with City your fans are. Outside of this I have heard your fans more concerned about how “da shit” are getting on rather than care about how their own team is getting on. I think it probably was born out of your clubs original “City relegation party” threads / Facebook groups. This thread has gone on for so long because you belters keep serving us up with gifts aplenty. I’ll list a few.... Celebrating staying up at Wycombe and going out of the football league the following week. Being sent down by a guy wearing a Rovers away shirt. Barrow, Bath, Chesham, Barnet Horse punching Thousands locked out 6th richest club in England Boob cricket Punching Braintree players in the back of the net Santa’s Grotto Condemned Pasty Shack Championship ready sprinklers Hello! Unlucky the shit. Watertight Sainsbury’s contract Evolution not Revolution (These things take time) Two divorces The family club with a horrendous record of banning orders Tents The colony (Game changer) White plastic chairs The pipe dream stadium Always the victim Dean Windass worship Doncaster United £10 Million Snake The list is endless..... Tinpot bunch of belters. 3 We're an obsessed fanbase and yet you proceed to mention every single embarrassing thing that's happened to Rovers, on a forum called "one team in Bristol" on a thread that's 3 and a half years long (a lot of the stuff you named was before) about a rival fanbase that's apparently "obsessed with our team." Can't remember the last time I saw a City related thread on Gas Chat, hell, the only thing I've seen City related in weeks was that post about your U23 team, which was shot down by every single Rovers fan who commented. Also, quick question, how is worshipping Dean Windass embarrassing, but making multiple banners about Colin Daniel not? 2 hours ago, Rudolf Hucker said: So you’ve seen the contract or negotiated it? Why would any club, selling or buying, agree a clause that was optional? The buying club would just always choose not to pay it, why would they? It makes 0 sense. 2 hours ago, City exile 79 said: Newcastle I missed share a city, a team with as big a quality gap as Rovers and City have that shares a city with their rivals. Minus London of course because of their 8.1 million population. 2 hours ago, Ron Swanson said: Good grief bodin get a life.

No disrespect but we do watch championship football regularly so we have a true reflection of how good he really is. 7 The difference is your scouting network spots players from all over Europe. That's why you've got Swedish players and I think at some point an Icelandic player or two. You even have a history of buying strikers from France. Rovers don't need that. If fans like pirate on gaschat (he's got a thread on young non-league players Rovers should target, very educated on the subject) can see a player Rovers should sign from non-league, I can't believe a random guy in his spare time could do a better scouting job than what Rovers are doing. Of course it's not that easy, but trials for non-league players could be a very effective way of trying to find young talent. I just don't see an attacking player whose scored 15 goals in the league over 2 seasons as below average. Ellis Harrison is below average for the Championship. Yes you do watch the Championship, but you're not a Preston/Sunderland fan so besides games against them how well could you really know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You then had a spell of 8 losses in a row, 8! Which put you in 20th in gameweek 27, you then collected 8/27 points from your next 9 games.

I haven't said any different, and the point is I think it's more embarrassing for a club to have a club with a larger amount of unsold tickets. This doesn't affect my argument and isn't even a point, but if your stadium capacity was 30k, compared to 12k (I know Notts County's is 20k it's just an example, before you say I'm twisting the numbers), wouldn't you prefer your 8k attendance to be in the 12k stadium?

So after our 23 games this season at half way we have since then played 11 games in the Championship and won 7, drew 2 and lost 3 - therefore that is 23 points in 11 games = play off / promotion form.

Are you now quoting periods when it seems to suits your own little agenda??? February isn't halfway through the season mate, going off of the 2016-17 season, the halfway point is obviously when 23 league matches have been played. February begins on gameweek 29. Yes Clarke was under-performing, he became frustrated that the team he had tried to build kept taking several hits. It seems we're in dispute over the 2016/17 season, as you've agreed the 2017/18 was a downturn in form from the halfway point, and I've agreed that the 2015/16 season is a counterexample to that, albeit the form of a new manager with a lot of underperforming players. From gameweek 24, you played 23 games, a maximum of 69 points. You received 27 from my count. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I counted 7 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. That's not too poor to be honest, maybe i'll reevaluate my theory, that City always have a long-lasting patch under Johnson of awful form every season.
