The Humble Realist Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hello all Delighted that Alex Scott has signed a long term deal and so far he has certainly looked at home in the championship. However, let's let him develop and mature without too much pressure. If you think I'm being negative just read this from 2 years ago about massengo So I know massengo was superb against swansea but lets face it the last 2 years have been up and down for him. Some of the comments on the thread 'he wont be here past christmas '...'we have to enjoy him whilst we can' , 'best midfielder at the club by long way'. Clearly that hype hasn't panned out (hopefully yet!) and at times he has been out the squad, never mind out the team! He is still really young too and hopefully this season he has gone up a level. Im all for being excited and I have been impressed with Scott but let's be patient too. It's not like he has scored 5 goals in 3games...he has had some very solid performances, incredible for an 18 year old but will need time to fully find his feet.

OneTeamInBristol Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I haven't actually seen anyone yet going too OTT about Alex Scott. Think the majority of City fans are excited about the prospect of him growing into a decent Championship winger but they realise he isn't the next Jude Bellingham.

I think people have been pretty realistic about Scott. Most acknowledge that he's very talented but will need to be broken in gradually. I haven't seen one comment that is completely OTT. As for the comments on Massengo - it's a football forum. People are allowed a bit of hyperbole and excitement - even if it's slightly exaggerated. We don't have that much to get excited about so let people enjoy getting a bit carried away from time to time after a great individual performance.

Davefevs Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I’m hoping he plays tomorrow….gives us something different, gets us free-kicks too. And we’ve been pretty good at set-pieces too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, given his current rate of progress, he could be in the u21s by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that rate of progress, he'll be eligible for the Masters' games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
