Anyone notice how he and Conway went straight to each other at the final whistle? You can see how well he gets on with and helps the young lads and I believe even Scott said similar.

I agree with the above saying that TGH is a midfielder and not a full back. Seemed to get caught out of position a number of times and does not have the outright pace to get back in position. 
 

His passing range, work rate and technical ability was there to see though, and I think he would shine in a midfield berth. 
 

If we had another fit full back I could easily have seen him in for Williams who I thought really struggled last night.

Roberts looked to be asleep.

Our build up play is so slow…

Could this be a game for someone like Mehmeti to retain a bit of possession and produce a moment of magic? 

How do I complain to Robins Tv?

My stream is working perfectly fine.

Least Dickie is giving Hugill a good roughing up. Can’t wait for him to win a pen against us in the 93rd minute 

Their left winger looks a tidy player.

Surely Wells deserves to start ahead of Cornick having scored in the last game? Wells basically did his job ie. Score. Bit harsh being dropped. Strikers thrive on confidence and momentum so the obvious thing would be to play him again. Also persisting with Naismith when everyone generally agrees he's a liability there & we lack pace. Pring for me with Robertson LB, who I think should be an automatic starter anyway. He can think himself unlucky for continually being out of the starting 11

I don’t think we can afford him to get injured unfortunately.

Good grief, 1) in 12 months his value may reduce but could equally rise depending on his form and the clubs interested in him, 2) clearly his injury wasn’t known, or at least the seriousness of it wasn’t, as Bournemouth & Boscombe would not have paid what they did, 3) neither of us know if he would have been injured if he stayed here, so he may have “ fired us to promotion “.

Remember , negative people have a problem with every solution

COYRs

Not at all, I am positive it was the right thing to do at the time. Would have been more positive if we had reinvested more of the Scott money

His injury was unknown at that time , and part of the “gamble” for promotion, who knows he equally could have had a great season with us , and then sold for £37M. Or , with us, stayed fit?

The alternative is to always grab every deal , regardless if it is in the best interest of the club’s ambition to push forward. In other words, be a Selling Club or feeder to Bournemouth & Boscombe.

Is that what, you as a Bristol City fan want ?

 

He would have had 12 months left on his deal and therefore his value would decrease. His injury was known as well as he missed the first game of the season because of it. 
 

He would not fire us to promotion as he would be either injured or out of match fitness for almost half of the season. So I would call that more of a “pipe dream” than a “promotion gamble”.

What it means, is that you plan player exits at a time that suits the club ( in the case of Scott that would have been next summer, not this), and you spend only in the areas you need to ( with City that is invariably at Right Back) , so you have a team that can at least hope to challenge. By making positive decisions this typically encourages others (Pearson) to stay, others to want to join, and of course us , the supporters.

Mediocrity isn’t  a lifestyle

So would you keep Scott for another year, when he can’t play for 3 months injured, and then sell him at £12million next summer?

I would say that is mediocrity in terms of decision making. 

To counter the doom and gloom, I think we were the better team but not clinical enough and wasted some good chances on the final third.

Stoke were the worse team but took their chances.

Look where we both are in the table. Performances will average out into more points even with a result like today

Max worries me, he really does. I never feel confident with him, lacks presence and some poor decisions today. The first goal he should get a hand on it. 

No keeper was stopping that

TGH does not fill me with much faith at RB, much prefer him in midfield.

Really wasteful from TGH and Weimann in great positions

Yeboah looking a bit more influential each game, would be great if he could get a goal.

no panic, but Stoke have been much the better side since they made in 2-1.

Teams often do when down and then need to play more expansive, as long as we keep it solid and counter well I am happy.

Stoke have apparently done this a lot of games and lost, I don't know why everyone is panicking

Internet is down at the stadium apparently. Major outage so they’re on a back up server hence the poor quality stream 

Can somebody hotspot them?

Stokes summer transfer window makes me trust the club with their policy of not signing loan players.

Some big loan signings and have not hit the ground running.

Don’t know why he would stand by Elliott, Cheltenham have been abysmal under him. Why would he expect them to stay with him? 

Well I thought Leicester’s 3 were one of the best Champ midfields I’ve seen and we defended pretty admirably 

Great pen that! 

Get TGH on for Williams now he has a yellow card, could do with more legs in midfield I think.
