I mean come next summer we could be seeing some serious money coming our way. If Conway hits double figures and Semenyo and Scott continue to improve the way they have we could be easily fetching 20m+ for each player. With the amount that are OOC next summer we’re going to need a massive war chest to rebuild. Think it’ll be safe to say only about 3/4 players who are starting now will likely be starting next august ?

Semenyo to start. Give him 60 minutes, natural progression. He’s an absolute beast and even the Blackpool commentators were creaming in their pants about him yesterday and absolutely puzzled he wasn’t starting. I’ll be glad when Thursday is over, although I don’t think he’s going now. We have no time to replace him.

Don’t want to see Scott at RWB as it takes away from his game. The sooner we integrate Wilson at RB the better imo. He can make the step up and he’s looking good, it’s about time Nige started putting players in correct positions. Scott and Massengo looked great as a duo against Luton and imo it was a better footballing performance than Cardiff, harsh on Williams but think these 2 just offer more overall. Absolutely love Semenyo so imo when he’s fit he needs to play, he also performs better away from home which is worth noting. Wells has been great and doesn’t deserve to be dropped but I think we’re all desperate to see that front 3 of AS, TC and AW. So much pace and power with real threats in front of goal. Nice headache for Pearson to have. Bentley Wilson Vyner Naismith Atkinson Dasilva Scott HNM Weimann Semenyo Conway O’Leary, Klose, Tanner, James, Williams, Wells, Martin

Next summer will be VERY interesting regarding outgoings….

Is he out of contract at the end of the season? ?

I do really want to see Semenyo - Conway - Weimann though. Agree he shouldn’t just walk straight back in but it would be madness to not get him in that first team as quick as we can. Offers too much to simply leave on the bench. Wells and Martin to come on when we need it. Spoilt for choice upfront

Why doesn’t he play a right back at right back. Beyond frustrating now. He signed both of them ffs

You’re probably in bed asleep now as it’s gone 9 but well done ya relic. Proper fan

Jesus Christ you're all ancient mind.

They are absolute shite, 3-0 incoming. Weimann double and Alex Scott with a worldie. Up the shagging city.

No, about 38 though.

No improvement football wise. Get he’s had a hard job but any manager that would genuinely have us moving forward would of improved us at least a bit in 2 years. Really hate to say it but I’m now Pearson out. He won’t go for a while yet but nothing I’ve seen from him makes me believe we’ll be any better with him in charge in 2/3/4 months time.

Give it a month and he’ll be back to mediocrity. League 2/1 player at absolute best.

It’s such a dead league. Be worth watching just for Barca vs madrid though.

Yep that’s who I reckon it will be as well. I know someone has said you can buy JUST the football club but it would be stupid to just do that. I also think Lansdown, if he were to sell, would want someone to buy the whole lot and continue the Bristol sport project. We still need that arena for the basketball and other events built next to the stadium along with the hotel. I think the basketball would appeal massively to an American takeover along with the rugby, we’re pretty much a franchise. So much potential here, I think SL has taken it as far as he can. He’s done amazingly well at everything apart from that final step. Whoever would end up buying us has had pretty much all the ground work done.

Well others aren’t spending the maximum and are having a lot more success than us. New owner with different ideas and philosophy might just be what we need to finally get to the prem, everything else is ready and waiting. Then again it could go completely pear shaped. Extremely risky move.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned on here but I’ve missed this completely. Can remember him saying about new investors a while ago but first time I’ve heard of him saying he’d actually sell us… There will be a few on here hoping he does. How would you all feel if he did? The only people I’d imagine who could afford us, as it’s not as simple as just buying us, it’ll have to be the whole Bristol sport umbrella I’d imagine, would have to be someone extremely loaded. So definitely foreign investors. Man City of the West Country incoming https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0cldbsm

It was a weird one for Naismith. He both played amazing and terrible ? at fault for the first, they should have definitely had a penalty when he just got beat for pace and fell on simms and the 3rd goal gets done in the air but also made some crucial blocks, great tackles and lovely passes. He’s not big/good enough to be playing alongside Vyner and Atkinson. Desperately need Kalas back and for Wilson to start. Sykes is good going forward but can tell he’s a winger when needing to defend. Left plenty of gaps behind him, not ideal when it’s Vyner who’s behind you…

Few good bits of link up play and decent attacks however a game is 90 minutes long. We seem to play well for about 9 of those minutes ?

2 and a half years of crap though let’s not kid ourselves. Everybody was VERY lenient with Pearson at the beginning because of what he had to inherit. However that excuse can’t be used anymore. Been here more than long enough to have made at least a positive impact. I’d say he has until the end of September to make genuine change. Won’t hold my breath though. Can already sense the beginning of the end now.

Really hope we don’t wait that long if things continue as they are. Needs going a good month before the World Cup break.

Got 2 fit right backs at the club that he signed and he still doesn’t play them, beggers belief. It’s not that Sykes played badly but there’s no need to play players out of position. Just can’t see this season being any different that the last 2. Be really lucky to stay up. Bentley absolutely awful for the first 2 goals as well. All that excitement and pre season momentum…. GONE

I’m about another 2/3 shit performances away from being Pearson out. The football is still diabolical. He’s been here long enough now to at least have us playing well. We’re no different to when he took over. Needs to sort this shit out pronto

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
