  1. An impressive career. He also played over 100 times for Barnet.
  2. How many players in the past have we released from our youth setup that have gone on to have careers that matches or betters our position at the time?
  3. MOTM for me. Difficult to choose today though!
  4. I agree, but he shows some naivety in his game that needs to be eradicated or he'll never make it at this level - simple things like getting the wrong side of the attacker. Hopefully Pearson's influence will help like it has with some others.
  5. Think there were a few on the pitch. Maybe it was a contribution to the incoming fine.
  6. An inexperienced side. More injuries. Happy enough under the circumstances. Not exactly stellar entertainment though.
  7. Done a much better job at Derby than I thought he would
  8. Must be struggling for Bristolians if 88 year old Johnny Watkins has made the shortlist.
  9. I'm not going Saturday as I've just had a positive lateral flow. The ******* timing of that.
  10. A hard disagree for me, I'm afraid. (For what it's worth, I have no idea what his attitude is like.) In terms of application he is sorely lacking. Last time I saw him play was a 13 minute cameo against Forest. We are 1-0 up and trying(!) to see the game out. KP is the fresh legs and should be the one busting a gut to put the opposition under pressure and he doesn't. He ambled round the pitch and we would have been better off leaving Scott on, who was knackered by that point. It's just one example, sure, and I don't blame him for the loss, there's 11 of them out there after all. But I did not see a player there with desire. I did not see a player there willing to work for his teammates or his own place.
  11. I don't think anyone is claiming they are world beaters, but they are not the hopeless whipping boys that they were expected to be.
  12. I think the food is overpriced in comparison. A Clarks pie is only £2.15
  13. I think his positional discipline has noticeably improved over the last few games. He seemed to have a better understanding last night of when to hold and when to go. He drove us forward with the ball a few times as well. Maybe others were more deserving but I think he did very well last night.
  14. Obviously they couldn't have given people a bit of warning so they could allow extra time to arrive
  15. I think so, and I appreciate it is not a popular opinion. His main problem is that he does not command his area. Commanding the box gives huge confidence to the defenders in front of you and I think this is partly why our defence often sits so deep. He is also not the incredible shot stopper he is lauded as being on here.
  16. No, it's not that draconian, you just have to pay a charge.
