It’s bullshit that’s why - i may not agree with everything the likes of Harry, Dave, KITR etc say but i know they are generally recognised on the forum and are informed and enjoy their posts.

Im told that Simpson, King and Baker are not on big wages and we obviously didn’t pay a fee for wieman, he’s also one that divides opinion so he may well be money well spent for some In wages and one I’d suspect you could move on if needed, James i think has done ok as has Tanner and Atkinson. However, as i don’t do payroll i have no Idea of these players wages so i imagine a lot of what im told is guesswork

Watkins ended up at Brentford, we could have had him 2 seasons before that

The players are out there - i know of players recommend to the club we have missed out on which we could have had for peanuts - Ollie Watkins being one

Good post but for me I’d ask what was your expectations for this season? Mine was a season of low quality with an attempt at making us harder to beat, we are still a way off that but slowly getting there. What we don’t know what the culture behind the scenes is like, and this is why NP has gone to tried and tested men, it may not work on the pitch but if things are that badly broken we need to start somewhere, it no secret that NP is clearly not happy with some of them, remember recruitment is about being able to shift some on which he’s clearly not been able to do. As another mate alluded too, NP may not be here when we start seeing his work come to fruition .

Wrong

I think it would reference that if it was the case. I wish him well though on whatever he does next.

I have a feeling this wasn’t so mutual and that NP is having his say slowly

My mate would play KP up front as the defensive side of his game is so bad.

I don’t think any Bristol City fan is a ‘happy clapper’ maybe people just have a differing view! out of interest which part do you particularly blame NP for seeing we were playing a team with better players than us? Not after an argument just curious…..for clarity i didn’t go so saw highlight and this is what i saw - Scott missing an open goal - denied a penalty - Baker with a rash challenge - Bentley pushing a ball straight to an attacker

There is no guarantee but that’s football - personally in our current predicament I’d like to see wages being spent on a young hungry striker than an older pro sat on the bench who’s best days are behind him.

I don’t think you do in this day and age, we have to be much better in the loan market and get better quality from a PL team. The quality we need is above what we will fork out for now.

Problem is the players he has bought in so far who you would imagine would be on decent wages, King and Simpson are not having the effect we wanted. James I’m currently ok With but when we have such limited budget in hindsight we’re those signings wise?

Totally - how he’s beyond criticism for last nights goal is beyond me. It was an awful parry

Is is NP fault that’s Scott puts a shot wide from 5 yards out? Stats only tell a small part of the story.

For me it’s slightly different this season as i do truly believe the priority with this lot was to just stay up, offload what we can and start again. For me there was no expectations for this season so I’m more relaxed than most about what’s going on. That’s not to say i won’t ever change my mind.

Only one man to blame for the mess were in and that’s SL, he can’t stick to a plan and chops and changes his strategy with every appointment. He got Holden so badly wrong that he couldn’t then go and get a Lowe, he was pushed in to his own corner with the NP appointment. However, I’m not moving from my stance that this is a free hit season for NP to sort the shit out that’s needed. Anything other than relegation was acceptable for me This season

Korey wasn’t dependable week in week out as he was often out injured - hence why not was the right decision to move him on

I like the shipyard ones

@Harry was after one

Shaw has had a shocker tonight hasn’t he

Can’t work that sub out

When i watch Grealish play i just can’t help think what a mistake it was to not have at least bought him on much sooner in the final He would have made a difference of that I’m convinced

It’s the Abbotswood inn on Rodway
