Davefevs Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 If you can get past the height difference of Crouch against Joe Cole, Stuart Webber and Jake Humphrey, this is a must watch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Great watch, although the height difference is absolutely hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Looks like one of the photos taken on the salt flats where theres no perspective. You can place someone the same size as you five feet behind you and they look about two feet tall! I wonder if Lee would like to appear with Peter Crouch?

LJ and MA have given Bristol City an identity. Long may it continue. Bristol City have taken seasons to perhaps have a identity. What Webber and Norwich do is recruit the Manager to play and players to play to an agreed model and principles. While similarities can been seen in Bristol City's recruitment of generally players who will be able to play possession based football it is fundamentally (very) different.

There must be loads of things people write on forums that they'd never say in conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not really playing like a possession side ATM. In phases yes, in periods absolutely and in the odd half certainly, but only really Birmingham away if we're talking about games as a whole. Obviously all of these injuries and the late sale of Webster have had a major impact in this respect but I'd be surprised if we even average 50% in the League thusfar. The team has much more to come IMO which is surely a very good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Saturday within a couple of minutes of coming on, Palmer sprung Afobe. It had a tad too much pace on it and the keeper cleared, but you then put defenders on edge of trying to push up.

ScottishRed Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think the injuries to Nagy and JD have changed how we wanted to play but, we are doing OK and when we have a full squad I think we will be a force to be reckoned with. We will control games and Afobe will score a lot of goals from Palmers deliveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich as a principle wanted to dominate possession, play few long balls as principles and recruit, develop and train to these and the other governing parts of their football model. Bristol City are fundamentally very different to Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Just now, Davefevs said: Honestly? Not much prior to the meeting last December!! @Shtanley seemed to know about him. Just someone you hear about and keep an eye on I guess. Him and Lewis made their debuts away to Chelsea in the FA cup, I watched the game and noticed they both looked excellent. Always kept an eye on their names floating about Norwich social media. I wonder if LJ has looked at Norwich's usage of young academy players.
