daored Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I understand domestic leagues continually , but I struggle to understand why international football is being played next weekend and European football this week. Surely this needs looking at ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 FA Cup Round 1 is interesting as there are something like 9 clubs, at least, who shouldn’t be playing (could end up being a lot more dependent on the status of the National League). Presumably they will get an exemption to train for and play cup games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be extremely unfair, also a real shame for those teams getting to the first round with no fans. I know from watching and playing that level that you could have 10x your average gate for a one of game like that at home, even more away. For some clubs an FA Cup run could keep you going financially for a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the private testing , just seems a strange time to be considering playing international/ European football with the country going into a lockdown.

I would have thought that with numbers climbing in many places, International/European football would be suspended until a later date. It's one thing travelling domestically, but going to other countries is how this thing spread so quick in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, would you back him, Ashton and Junior to come up with anything better than Dean Holden? I wouldn't put a penny farthing on it......... "Guys, what's the problem? I know Nigel Pearson was really interested in coming here but his interview was abysmal, he wanted proper money to spend on players plus he wanted to offload players who I am really fond of. Look, Darrell has a track record of getting teams promoted, knows the area very well, has promised that he will try his bestest every single day and will fight his like a dog to get this club in the Premier League. He's also a decent human being although when he's had a few his standards do slip slightly but we can live with that."..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey super we all want the best in regards to DH succeeding but he hasn’t got the experience of taking us up another level. I still cant get over why he was appointed 4/5 months back when it was common knowledge there were others that were interested in the roll and had experience in higher levels of football management. We had a good start to this season and recent games have proven unfortunately we have not progressed in what is probably one of the toughest leagues in Europe to get promotion from.

If it helps I don’t think Chris Hughton , (if that’s who you allude to), would have got us up this season , especially with the current injury Tsunami Give the bloke a chance , he’s only just into double figure of games 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view is we are firmly heading for mid-table but we will see some decent football along the way. The squad just isn't strong enough, particularly with the recent injuries, and the Manager is inexperienced. That is not a recipe for Promotion. That is why I cannot be too hard on Dean Holden. Of course, I want to see him make progress and learn from mistakes he will inevitably make but I cannot expect much more from him personally. If "responsibility" and "blame" is the order of the day to justify that outcome then you need to look a rung or two higher in the Bristol City food chain!! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your post you are a true city supporter just like me. Injuries effect all clubs, an inexperienced manager signed by the board for what ever reason is the question. DH is a good honest bloke and has great football knowledge, however we need to reach higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
