pongo88 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Not a player who left, but who didn’t play much due to injury - Steve Brooker. He was injured for most of the season when we reached the playoffs against Hull. If he had been fully fit that season I’m sure he would have scored sufficient goals to ensure automatic promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 1 hour ago, bcfc01 said: With Bobby Reid in the team we had a way of playing that was very good to watch and also very effective, drawing a lot of plaudits from high profile people in the game. We've never managed to replicate that style of play unfortunately. Webster also gave us another dimension with him being able to bring the ball out from the back and get us on the front foot and we've not manged to replace him. But on balance I would say losing Bobby Reid has had the most effect. Would've been good to have both of those in the team.. Yep. Bobby was superb. We've missed that real quality up top. Weimann not able to do what Bobby could imo. Not got the touch, the technique and can't finish like Bobby could either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Mine have already been mentioned. I reckon the loss of Afobe has affected us massively this season. He was leading the line so well. Other than that I agree we suffered rom the losses of Reid and Webster. And all these years later I still feel completely gutted that we let Bob Taylor go.

Still crying out for that type of midfielder. It was his 'radar' like ability to find Maynard consistently too. What an understanding those two had. Hartley was pretty complete as far as centre mids go at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Old Boy Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I was gutted when Chris Garland was sold, but Dicks was building a team and we continued to improve every season until we were promoted! Sounds familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Most of mine have been mentioned, but Tammy’s loan coming to an end was hard. I know it was never to be but he has been difficult to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds familiar? It’s not at all familiar. We improved once , then the following year got promoted , before that we flirted with relegation and mediocrity. The big difference was that the players nearly all came through the youth system together , knew each other’s game and were tight knit . They were a team not a collection of talented individuals. We didn’t have agents stirring things up after two or three decent performances. I agree that stability is important in order to build a club but if the project stalls then new blood is called for .

I think we've replaced him now, but it took us some while! On a lesser note, Wade Elliott after promotion- yes he was perhaps too old but a younger version yet still with experience on the stepup under Cotts could've helped a fair bit.

LondonBristolian Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I don't think we wold have been relegated if Kalifa Cisse had stayed. On the other hand, you could argue relegation led to some positive changes that might not otherwise have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 It took over two years before John Galley found the form to replace John Atyeo. Going back further, City struggled for many years after Billy Wedlock retired. More recently, in the 1970's it took a long time to find a real replacement for Mike Gibson.
