One Team Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Lee Tomlin has called him a snake on Instagram! O’Dowda meanwhile says of signing for Cardiff: “I’m at a stage in my career where I’m hungry, I want to achieve as much as I can, and I feel as though I could be hitting my prime now. So, it’s all about kicking on with the right team, the right manager and a fantastic club." Edited June 8, 2022 by One Team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but you could argue Freeman needed a change of scene and a fresh start to get his mojo back. He'd lost the plot here.

Mind you, if Tomlin's having a pop, you must be doing something right. Edited June 8, 2022 by Merrick's Marvels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hertsexile Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Simple Cardiff are desperate to sign ex city players. He follows a long line of them in resent years ! We can only hope that is as bad and injury prone across the Severn as he was whilst wearing a Bristol city shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herta Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 If he does as much for Cardiff as he did for us I think we’d still be left with no regrets about letting him go. That really says it all I think. I’ve always thought there was a player in there, still might be but I just don’t care, it wasn’t going to happen here and that’s been clear for years. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3City Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) I think Tomlin's "snake" comment might be a round about dig at us, in that Matty Taylor was a "snake" when we pulled the Blue Fews pants down (intimating that we've lost out and Crapdiff have done well by picking COD up). Three things from my perspective - 1) I'm glad COD is gone, so don't really care. 2) I reckon COD has pulled their pants down by securing a 3 year deal, and 3) I think Tomlin is a dumbo anyway (to the extent that if he told me it was raining I'd still want to look out the window to check). Move on, we've got bigger fish to fry... Edited June 8, 2022 by BS3City Additional material...? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 3 hours ago, One Team said: Not only do we get rid of the biggest wastes of a wage in years and arguably our greatest ever underachiever, but to one of our biggest rivals as well! Given the reception club legends like Pack and Flint have had playing for Cardiff one would think O’Dowda (who achieved less in six years then either of the aforementioned did in six games) will be ridiculed mercilessly next season. The Gas would’ve been better but fair shout mate! Cods gone not palmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I really liked COD and thanks for the memories. Different manager and different system. I don't think he kicked on enough after signing an improved contract but obviously injuries didn't help. What is it with Welsh clubs and our ex players? We're obviously the envy of them to such an extent that one of them even changed their colour to red. They wish they were English. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former have previously signed Flint, Pack, Tomlin & Reid directly from us, the latter Korey, Paterson & Walsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your overthinking it, Tomin doesn't care enough about football to have the career he could have so I doubt he's trawling through his old clubs forums to see if his Instagram posts cause any sort of commotion.

I don’t expect him to trawl through the forum… i meant he was looking to wInd a few people up with his instagram comment and get a few comments back on there… thats why i commented away from instagram…but you are right why should anyone get riled by it ….

Olé Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) From the @Davefevs equivalent on the Cardiff forum I was interested to read he's never in his career ever started more than 20 games in a season "The most league games he's started in a season is just 20 (2014/15 in League Two for Oxford and 2018/19 in the Championship for Bristol)." The record laid out isn't pretty: Quote O'Dowda's Championship starts for Bristol City: 2016/17 - 15 2017/18 - 13 2018/19 - 20 2019/20 - 17 2020/21 - 14 2021/22 - 16 Basically, an average of 16 league starts a season during six years at Ashton Gate. His Championship goal tallies during the same period: 2016/17 - 0 2017/18 - 1 (against Cardiff) 2018/19 - 4 2019/20 - 1 2020/21 - 1 2021/22 - 1 Let's be honest, Bristol City have been far from good during the last six years and O'Dowda apparently couldn't hold down a place in their starting line-up. He's just turned 27, so it'll be a surprise if he improves significantly on what he's shown so far. Edited June 9, 2022 by Olé 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never seemed to do anything and as winger we rarely saw him take on a full back or create havoc with his ball skills. He was anonymous in too many games. He’s no great loss imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
