M.D Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Good news, looks a good prospect and unlike a lot of others in the squad at the moment, is proud of the badge and wants to play for it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Congratulations to him. I’m glad that our young players are coming through and featuring - one of the few positives in recent weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: Great news. Wonder if a loan for him next season and at what level. Maybe but I do think we use age as an excuse to loan players out. He seems to be trusted in this squad and depth may be more of an issue next season. I’d like to try and integrate him and if he needs minutes come January, then look at a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I've got a good feeling about him. Obviously I've only seen very limited evidence of his ability though. Same for Britton. Think both are good prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Bunch Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Excellent news. One of only a few positives from this season is the conveyor belt of talent coming out of the Academy. Hopefully a few will remain around the first team squad next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belly, Benarous and Alex Scott are the top 3 next to break through (properly) for me. The latter two even more so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is where I now start feeling old, because I wasn't much older than him when I was watching his dad in his prime!! Well done Sam, one of the few good things to come out of this season is seeing players like that promoted to the first team squad. Yes, we have kind of been forced into playing some of the youngsters, but he is one that probably would have been pushing soon anyway. If you're good enough, you're old enough. Yes he may well get a loan before hitting regular first team games, but he is one of the bigger prospects out of the current bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sam Bell is one of four unique players to play for City in my lifetime. The others are Brian Clark, David Rodgers and Gary Williams. Why? Their fathers also played league football for Bristol City. If I have forgotten any others, someone please let me know.

cidered abroad Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Liam Rosenior and Andy Jordan - Yes Mark Cooper - No as while he was registered as a player, he didn't make the first team. Gary Owners son is a future possible. Isn't Jamie McAllister's son in the Academy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary said that he is a better footballer than he was, which considering his career (FA Cup final, long career at Championship level) might of course just be a good Dad saying nice things about his own son, but if he has his father’s determination & work ethic then he has every chance.
