It would appear that the Burger King outside their ground burnt down last night too

Someone took the flame grilled a bit too far.  

I do see the needs to build, but surprised how many are so ready to see him leave.  How many threads on here lately bemoaning selling our best players?

Sure he lacks composure when in on goal, but he's quick, strong, makes good runs, has good awareness of players around him, can play off both feet.   I'd keep him.  

Personally, I think he lacks a bit of confidence.  If he had a bit more arrogance about him he'd soon start smashing them in.  

I'll be gutted if he leaves. He offered about the only bit of excitement in games this year.  

Good that. 

Great professional and real warrior.   All the best to you and your family, Sol. 

I'm amazed how these professional players fall for these get rich quick schemes their team mates lure them into.  If the returns seem too good to be true that's because they are!  And where are all their agents and advisers when they need them?  Can only be driven by greed or desperation.

We absolutely can't afford to lose today... For those of you preying that we lose so LJ gets the arse... save it for Tuesday...

God save Bristol City!

Preying.  Never seen a word so aptly misspelt.

With Kodjia and Abraham playing against McFadzean we'll get either a penalty or McFadzean sent off, or both.  I really wouldn't like to be him.

As for me, I am hoping we are getting back to the 5/10 Year Plan of the Scott Davison era, or maybe it was the regime before his:  if I recall it involved winning trophies and getting European football.  Not sure if it involved pillars, but I do remember some glossy brochures that had me sold.

 

I did like Scott Davidson, but just saying I want to win a cup or get into Europe are aspirations not a strategy to make it happen.  That's a bit like Greg Dyke saying England should aim to win the World Cup in 2022.  St George aside he has no power or influence over the Premiership clubs to develop and nurture English talent to make it happen.  

Interestingly, the clubs that are doing most to develop English players are the likes of Tottenham & Southampton.  Southampton has always developed talent.  After their disastrous spending spree off the back of Bale's money Spurs seem to have taken of different tact.   Young progressive manager that is nurturing and developing talent from within and buying promising talent like Dele Alli from outside the club.  Sounds like a plan to me.  

RB, how can you mistake Kevin Davies for Neil Kilkenny?

Get in!!!

Apologies if this is mentioned elsewhere but how many City are there? Great support judging by noise on RB.

Quality on his day. I felt he always got more stick than he deserved when he didn't play well. And don't most wingers blow a bit hot and cold? One of the few wingers we've had in recent years that could cross a ball - remember the run and cross for Thorpe against the Gas? Might be one that Johnson could work his magic on, but he's probably burned his bridges at City. Poorly advised and unlucky with his injury. Shame, a real waste of talent.
