Did I just hear that right? LJ is on Man City’s list of young managers? COYR 

What is it with our walls at free kicks? COYR

It was said in the week that Taylor was struggling with an injury 

Exactly this & by all accounts he has had it a few weeks, but battled through. Don’t think we have seen a fully fit Taylor this season. COYR 

That was the best I've seen us play for quite some time. I think the word that keeps popping into my head is 'controlled', from start to finish I thought we were in control. When we went 0-1 down, I thought to myself, we will see what we have got now. & what a response! Listening to the team lineups before kickoff, I thought wow, what a squad they have got. But that performance just reiterates to me that we are doing things the correct way. Not just the starting 11, but our subs bench looks so strong. & there are a few players out that would be in with a shout of being in the squad. Great performance from all. COYR 

When the pressure is on, as it sounds like, it's having the courage to keep passing it & keep wanting it. COYR

#BristolCity subs: Lucic, Baker, Magnússon, O'Neil, O'Dowda, Eliasson, Hinds. #BIRvBRC

That is a strong bench. Pleased to see Hinds on there. COYR

he did take Team Bath, a university team, to the FA Cup first round, entering in the preliminary round, and then got them 4 promotions. At exeter he got them promoted at the second attempt, losing in the playoff final in his first season. He then took them straight up to league 1 in the next season, all while having to sell their brightest prospects and better players. Sure they have been relegated since, but they are still in a position where they can rapidly climb into playoff spots on a good run, being just 5 points behind Accrington in 7th

He did indeed. Played directly against him around that time, good player. Good lad to if I remember correctly. Does deserve a chance at a higher level. Just unfortunately think we are crying out for a bigger name at the min.

Exactly!

Sounded like we had them on the ropes at the end. Now that makes a bloody change! Congratulations all. Well deserved.

Hoddle is my childhood hero, so I'd love to see him here. I can imagine one or two who wouldn't for the incredibly stupid crap he came out with about disabled people, and I would completely understand that

I don't get the feeling that GH is going to want to get his hands dirty on the day to day stuff now though. Maybe he could be in an advisory capacity with a younger manager, Justin Edinburgh, perhaps

From that list I've gone for Pearson. I don't think the board have the spine to appoint someone who will tell them what they don't want to hear though

I reckon Colin, until end of season, and see where we wake up come 1st July, will be more likely

I fully understand people's reservations ( for want of a better phrase )with regards his stupid comments. But its his philosophy on football, his name, his record and his potential draw on new signings I'm thinking about. I think he has said previously that he has had offers but never had the right project put in front of him. I believe Bristol City is potentially a great project. And as I've mentioned previously, he has been in this neck of the woods previously.

He used to employ more of a diamond, as I remember he developed it for himself to reduce the tracking back later in his career.

He has used them both and more. Which shows his versatility, something that Cotts was criticised of lacking. I just think his philosophy on the game is spot on. Think he was recently talking about a player, possibly Ross Barkley. How he gives the ball away occasionally, his response was something along the lines of, he might give the ball away 3 times out of 10. But he will create you something 3 times more than any other player, let him make mistakes! That is something too many managers are scared of doing, let the talented players do what they do best. Don't try and make them into robots or headless chickens. Like I said, something along those lines. Spot on imo.

Me neither. Tisdale would be a really backward step.

More time and matches at Porto, his last job, where he won 53, drew 16 , and lost 9. 

Spain Under 21 - 17, 1, 0 respectively.

Spain Under 19 - 10, 2 , 2

Spain Under 20 - 9, 0, 2

Not a lot of experience is correct and why not really the ideal candidate; he is in there because of his superb stats, albeit few games and the continental connection where we have scouts in France and Spain.

PPG = 1.39 ... not very good. He has also been out of the game too long in my opinion.

I believe he was coaching at QPR fairly recently. Think it was possibly alongside big Joe. Seem to remember reading quotes about how good he was. Just thought it was an option. 

Should also of added that Hoddle is readily available to start now! A complete waste of talent that bloke sat in a studio talking about the game. Would imagine he still has a lot of connections, even France! Which seems to be floating our boat at the minute. 

Could we add Glenn Hoddle? Maybe unrealistic, but might like our plan( if we still have one that is!). Also very tactically savvy, who I also believe has adopted a 3-5-2 formation in his career. Would easily attract players I would imagine. Would be the big name a lot seem to be craving. Has spent time in this part of the country. Would really be a show of intent. Anyone else with me? Or am I up in the clouds on my own!? Although I've not got a clue about win percentage.

Warnick is NOT the answer...

I want some pride back, I want something to believe in. I can live with going down, but not like this. Not without a fight. It's embarrassing, no other word describes it. Warnock would give me most of these.

Warnock was never interested

I'm fairly sure that he did admit to speaking to SL. So if they had a chat, he must of had some interest I would say.

I cannot believe I'm about to type this, but if Warnock is still available and interested? I think we need to go knock on his door and ask for some help! I want someone I can get behind, someone who will fight for this club, someone who inspires me and more importantly the players. If you have ever read any of my posts, I would say I am one for giving people time and being patient. Generally stay level headed about things. But I'm afraid my patience has run out, I've had enough, I'm embarrassed. I'm not sure what type of football he would bring to the gate, but I know he would demand some pride at the very least and at the minute I would grab that with both hands. What has happened to this bloody club?

They never cease to amaze me this lot. They are as much use as a chocolate tea pot! No desire, seemingly no ability and no balls for a fight by the look of it. God I miss feeling the pride of watching a city team. That's another one to add to my list, NO PRIDE.

Has Cotts still not worked out what type of player Wynter is?

Very much reminds me of Tony Thorpe.

For me Thorpe was a good finisher. Cool in one on one situations if my memory serves me well. As for Baldock, it's good that he is getting into these positions. 14 is a good return at this point in the season( I know it could be doubled!). For the last few years I've watched city struggle to create anything, so at least that is a step in the right direction.
