Get a grip ffs. We played a team that beat Middlesbrough last time out off the park, their keeper was outstanding and we hit the woodwork twice. On their own patch too. If anyone cannot see that this team is starting to cope with life in the Championship send us a pm because I know where you can get a cheap guide dog.
In that case we ought to name just the three subs then !! But in all seriousness you can't use a saving of probably £200 as reasoning when you take into account we have been bidding £7m for players (it would take us 35,000 away matches or 1,522 seasons to balance one off against the other !!).
Got to be honest, I don't share in the mass moaning but I think Cotterill is being a right Diva with this 6 on the bench b0ll0ck$. We were amateur enough as it was in our pre-season and recruitment full stop but this type of thing just makes us look like a Sunday Pub outfit. We must be the only professional football club in England that cannot fill a bench - except we can because we could stick an Under 21 on there (scrap the Academy if NONE of them are up to it, simple as that).
Five points from five away games when you look at who we have played is decent form. One point from four home games is dismal and that is where Cotterill has to come up with a solution. So not bothered that we are bottom tonight after that result.
That's five points Freeman has cost us so far this season (Brentford and tonight). We would all be happy had we got those and should probably tell us that we aren't a million miles off being a competitive side in this league. He owes us big time !!
The difference between your current financial hardships and past "glories" is that you have never owed money to Kneecap Loans PLC before. You had better hope you at least cover that debt in any compo you might be awarded because you are playing with the nasty boys now!!
Jason Brown, Gavin Ward, The Metro, The Star, Dopey (oh no, they've forgiven him at the moment haven't they cos ee's a legend when he's p1$$ed), John Ward.......there's no doubt a few more.

This was reason number 130 in the Post of why the Number 73 Gas Bus Tour of Bristol was not the worst ever.
