Depending on where you are coming from, Ashton Drive (not via Winterstoke Road) might be a good option

Creative Director ?

I read that McAllister was watching the u23s the other week, I would not be surprised to see him come back to coach them given Alex Ball’s promotion to first team coach.

To me, from some distance, it looked like Pearson was shouting at Kalas at one point and telling him that he should be positioned closer to Bell.

I read an article a while back where Arsenal CB Ben White explained that he tried to avoid passing to the full back, unless the FB is in lots of space, as that ball is often targeted by the opponents press.

Not sure if I’ve missed it on here but I see the outstanding human Rene Gilmartin is now Head of Goalkeeping at Ipswich. Bet that was a vigorous recruitment process.

Money down the drain for us as a club but I imagine that amount of player “trading” has it’s benefits for some people.

Maybe if it was just about the drink and not the assistant coach’s video getting leaked to the press.

A video has been leaked showing the police putting an end to a “party” involving some England and Australia players at 6am on Monday. The video only shows a few players from either side having a drink outside but the video was filmed by Graham Thorpe who drunkenly narrates which players are there and said he was videoing it for the lawyers. It’s going to be pretty uncomfortable for him given it has made it to the press. Fitting way to end a shambles of a tour.

Defensively JD showed once again it is too easy to play around him and get in behind. A massive weak link if he plays.

Can’t recall if it was Ian or Mark who thanked “our” listeners last night before correcting himself to “your”. I get the impression with either of them that it wouldn’t have just been a slip of the tongue.

Wonder if Richard Lee is also there doing some “consultancy” in addition to his role as a director at the player agency Refuel Performance Management. Must come in handy when recommending players to sign.

He may not be ready / good enough but we will not know until he plays and he couldn’t make us any less of a threat! He will hopefully have the fearlessness to run at people and make things happen. Martin currently looks like a centre backs dream so I think we need to try something different. Maybe Wells and Weimann to start up front with Janneh or Bell off the bench.

Would like to see Janneh on the bench at least as we are in desperate need of some pace.

Given the money wasted on players, it baffles me why Lansdown has not used his money to create an elite recruitment department. Go and study how those sides that overachieve through good recruitment do it and identify the best person you possibly can to run it. It seems like a no brainer. Instead we’re nearly 20 years into Lansdown’s reign and we have a recruitment department made up of a small group of analysts / interns!

I’m judging him playing for us over 2 seasons in a team whose game plan is to not sit 11 men behind the ball and comparing his ability to what I expect a top championship midfielder to be like given that the poster I replied to suggested Nagy could play in the Prem.

As far as we were stupid enough to buy him I’m there will be someone else who will do the same!

I have never seen such a rose-tinted post about a player. A player of his calibre ? I can’t recall one game for us where he has stood out as anything special. Physically weak, not great on the ball, and good stamina but zero intelligence in terms of how to maintain shape.

That has not helped my irrational hatred of Tom Curran.

Plumb, absolutely plumb.

Can’t really remember what the guy looked like now but a possible? Dave Rennie

Part of me thinks that given the circumstances Cotterill left us in, he’d be interested in the opportunity to get Rovers promoted and stick two fingers up to Lansdown. If he does go there, I think I will bet on him getting them promoted next season.

If Wally has any sense he would be on the phone to Steve Cotterill now begging him to become their manager.
