Davefevs Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 People can add bits and pieces in here, but from Gregor’s update: Baker is the more concerning injury (weeks or months) Walsh and Williams will miss first game (but maybe more reassuring re Williams with respect to Baker) Taylor Moore played v West Brom (was 0-0) Williams (Ashley) has had conversations but not specific about what Maenpaa training as a duty of care, no discussions yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as though we get more information from a journalist than our club at the moment. We definitely are playing Saturday aren’t we https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dean-holden-full-transcript-next-4480190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Interesting to read what he says about "team spirit" - that was something that seemed absent under LJ but that we had in abundance under Cotts & GJ. Getting a decent spirit amongst the squad is hugely important sand can turn defeats into draws and draws into wins. Will be good to see a team that really do play for each other and end up being greater than the sum of their parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 You've gotta feel for poor old Nathan Baker- just about every time this very talented defender gets near a pitch-boom- he's out injured for the long term. Eddie Large once said that buying a boat gave him the two happiest moments of his life- the day he bought it and the day he sold it. I wonder if our Steve will feel the same way about Bakes.

Mad Cyril Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I need to hear phrases like.... - game of two halves - sick as a parrot - we go on - its a funny old game - we need to score more goals than them to have a chance of winning ....before I can be convinced this guy knows anything about football.

It's when you lose 2 on the bounce, players that aren't playing but think they should be, little arguments among the group etc. That's when it all goes downhill isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this no need to baffle us with science, keep it nice and simple. There are no easy games at this level , Parking the bus , We’re taking it one game at a time are the bread and butter for us fans no need for an explanation as to who is playing in the hole or Xg stats or Christmas tree formations. On reflection DH can say what he likes as long as we keep winning and are promoted by Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems training is pretty intense; "We're really trying to build this culture of going for it every day in training, training on the edge and there's been a couple of not scraps - that's too far - but a bit of argy-bargy in training because we're competitive and that's what we want. We're building a team spirit, which is coming along nicely, and we're looking to bring one or two more players in as we start the season."

Johnson is the only guy I know who spoke in an encrypted language at press conferences. Even the Bletchley Park codebreakers wouldn't have been able to decipher what he said.
