He won’t be seeing much first team action this season….

Not for us anyway! 

TBH I’d forgotten about him and when his name was mentioned my immediate reaction was one of “he’s still here?”!

James isn’t playing.

That's hilarious!   Criticising a player for his performance.....when he isn't even on the pitch.....a truly Alan Partridge moment from a City expert!!  Ha!

[westonred]

The only one who comes out with any credit is Massengo..  Klose looks shakey, Vyner awful, King's absent Martins not in it Weimann not effective without Semenyos unpredictability up front Not sure Conways quite ready yet. We need a wide attacker like their Miller who looks a tidy signing for them anyone know where they got him ? Yes i know its only a friendly and not many of them 1st choice starters but if we have injuries and suspensions some of this lot dont look good enough     

[Numero Uno]

If Sam Frost was the journo down there he’d probably term it a Bristol City XI…….

Some would say invisible....

Third match of the season, and as it stands the table still shows us on zero points.

Pearson out.

The table also shows us in 4th.

Pearson in?

Player Coach with the emphasis being on Coach no doubt.

Can't believe how bad bas savage is today,

Collectively as a starting eleven no but if they have to step in individually to cover an injury they will be alright in the main.

No Scott, Naismith, Williams, James and Wilson in the starting line up and a couple are losing their shit already

I dont think people are losing thier shit i think people are just concerned that our back up players  just arn't good enough

Chill out, he’s another one who will get very few starts this season.

Great point, that’s only the seven missing today then!!

Shouldn’t be getting any starts.

It’s unlikely we’ll be fielding seven of them at the same time………

[maxjak]

I blame Korey Smith........he looks well off the pace?

Pre-season minutes……….easy to grasp.

Stop being so defensive, he’s in our squad and playing today, I’m allowed to comment on his performance.

I’ll stick my cock on the block and say we won’t even with our recent record in that department. The fact we are resting players today is a good thing imo. We don’t need niggles just so we can win a pointless game at Plymouth.

You can say what you like but negativity in every post over a pre-season kick around when we know what it’s going to be like when the real action starts is ramping it up to daft levels.

[Kodjias Wrist]

From what I've read that is pretty close to their first team starting. There was a lot of hype on Hardie last season and Jephcott the season before must be fighting to keep hold of them.

Can't you do that and leave your cock alone?

[cidered abroad]

Some do not understand the purpose of this match.

Should we return to the good old days when the City first team played the reserve team in the only public pre-season match that was allowed by the FA and Football League.

I also remember pre season games when we won all of them and then went to Novenber before we won a match. Or lost all the pre-season friendlies and won a pile of games  at the start of the season.

Boring stuff. Plymouth should be in front. Heat is def a factor. Thank god the singing has stopped. 

 

I’m here and it’s not as hot here as is back home by all accounts

[westonred]

Perhaps we've been told not to attack today because we want to practise 90 mins of Defending

That’l be king then, go me glasses on now!

[RUSSEL85]

Even if it’s 0-0 today that’s 3 pre season games and zero conceded isn’t it? Goals will come.

[Street red]

People losing there s**t over a pre season game  

[big dosser]

i got a job to sit in the garden let alone play football in this heat. Would not expect to much today from any side playing

Absolutely sums it up.

Ridiculous.

All I’ve learned from that half is that Vyner is still terrible and we won’t score many goals without Semenyo’s presence in the front three. Happy to be proven wrong though!

We knew all this 6 months ago.
