I think so, with KP going, NW and HNM a possibility to reduce costs this could well be the way forward Quote Link to comment
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Great to see so many youngsters starting, I would like to see them show some senior players how to cause problems for opposing teams, win or loose. Hopefully their energy can get us three points today against a team we usually don't do well against. So Come On You Young Red's! 1 Quote Link to comment
Port Said Red Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Reminds a little of when Danny Wilson first became manager and was forced to go to youngsters like Coles and Hill when the experienced players let him down. Quote Link to comment
Padlad Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hoping for a good performance and result. I'm happy playing the youth as long as we survive the season. if we can get 5-6 academy players with 15-20 games under their belt makes us much stronger next year. 3 Quote Link to comment

Teams dont survive in this division playing that many academy players! Whilst it may look great to some, i really cannot see us surviving with that lineup. Hoping to be proven extremely wrong of course! 6 Quote Link to comment

Alessandro Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Every game at the moment is fun trying to read Pearson's mind with these starting 11's! You can ask why a few aren't playing - could be illness, injury, transfer interest, disciplinary, form. Who knows. But it does seem clear with NP, if you train hard and well and earn it, any player, young or old or experienced or not, can and will be selected. I guess this is what they mean when they talk about Pearson and his 'culture' - maintain the standards, you play. Don't, you get dropped whoever you are. I like that a lot. COYR'S!!!!!

ExiledAjax Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I do like to see a number of club produced players, just wish it didn't have to come with such a young XI. I want a team of Bristolians, or at least of academy guys, but the dream is to have them playing for us in their prime years. Bit nervous here tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment

dREDful Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I don't like this one bit. Think we need to score 3 today to get anything looking at that backline. 3 Quote Link to comment

Now it’s through choice - whether that’s because they’ve improved or because others have lost form. To me, that’s a huge positive. Last season gave Nige to opportunity to get an early look and set the strategy. 11 minutes ago, billywedlock said: sky red button, perfect .

Taylor10 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Young side but full of attacking intent and creativity. I really like it. Let’s have a right go. Up the City! Quote Link to comment

Whilst it may look great to some, i really cannot see us surviving with that lineup. Hoping to be proven extremely wrong of course! Agreed. Whilst it's great to blood some youngsters, I don't agree that that is anywhere near our strongest available line up & unless it proves to be a masterstroke (NP sees them everyday in training & knows far more than I do about them) that looks like a petulant message to SL from the manager, that we are in need of more players (like we don't all know that!) I don't think it's fair on the kids to dump them all in the same team together. I hope I'm wrong & we are developing our own "class of 92" - but let's be honest, we probably aren't...! 1 Quote Link to comment
Loco Rojo Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) One thing today though OTIB, these lads need support today not bashing after 5 minutes when a pass goes wrong. I'd like to think (hope) that OTIB recognises this and won't have the typical melt down, just once....please. Edited January 2, 2022 by Loco Rojo 12 1 3 Quote Link to comment
Lew-T Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Big game for Zak. Really hope he can find some form now as he was brilliant on Thursday. That back line will be tested, looking forward to see how we do. Quote Link to comment

big dosser Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 love it great for the young players, and for any young players we are looking to sign will know they will have a chance which can only benefit us in the transfer window. Out with the old in with the youth Quote Link to comment
BasSavage88 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 This is going to be a disaster or brilliant. I can't decide which one yet If we let In an early goal Incan see a spanking Quote Link to comment

prankerd Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 The worst thing that could happen today is we get thrashed, i hope we get a great result and give confidence to the youngsters and show the overpaid waste of spaces how to perform for bristol city! Quote Link to comment
