JBFC II

Good for Bristol to have a few weeks break from the league, a win on Friday v Bath would be massive for confidence and with Woodward looking like he might be out its good they don't have a premiership game on the weekend

Quins will be a must win game imo, they've lost every away game this season and will be without their England internationals, and with Worcester playing sarries it will be a massive opportunity to overtake them

Something i noticed yesterday is just how good tammy's hold up play is, for a 19 year old he has a lot of strength and is able to keep the ball really well, even better than wilbs imo

Besides obviously needing new strikers. We also need to replace Bobby Reid and Joe Bryan. Sorry there not good enough. O'Dowdra doesn't give us anything when he comes on either.  Feel really down today, I thought Reading were really average. 

thought bobby reid was one of our best players today, better than pack abd o neil definitely

There's been much more than that. But it's so much easier to criticise ML. 

Because little has been like this for the last 3 years, joes having an off game

Bryan's having a worse game. 

Littles been beaten every time by their winger, Joes had a poor free kick and miscontrolled a ball, thats it

Joe Bryan has to be the weak link in this team. Has had a few nightmares this season

Mark little??

Mark Little has been poor this season but tonight he's been as bad as I've ever seen him, nobody has been as good as average so far imo

Even the post knows how big the gap is.....

My mate (a rugby fan who cant afford the tickets) came with me and he couldn't understand why they didn't run it more - every time they kicked it straight down the throat of the sale lot and allowed them to come forward.

they looked like a team with no belief and more than a little out of their depth. Sale effectively tore them a new arsehole at their liesure!

its been the same week in week out, we have players who can't kick trying to kick and failing, awful

Interesting. Shades of our 2015 summer then? (without wanting to open that can of worms again!)

very similar tbf, the only problem is i doubt a new manager will make a difference for Bris unlike LJ did for us.....

Dear me this thread makes for dreadful reading! Bit of a rugby novice - have Bristol not got a reasonable chance of survival if it's only one to go down?

Also, why are they so ill-prepared for the Premiership? Have they not been given the investment they need? It just doesn't feel very Lansdown-like to let this happen - I know we've had our struggles but, ultimately, lack of investment has not really been the issue.

Genuinely curious.

Firstly, we should have a good chance of survival but the way we've been playing we really don't look like staying up

Lansdown went for big money signings in the summer and they didn't materialise so we were left with very few signings and a very similar squad to the one of last season which is no where near good enough. In rugby its so much more difficult to bring in quality as the gap between the premiership and championship is so great, you can have as much money as you want but with wage caps etc bigger clubs are always going to get the better players

I've been going regularly this season and I have to say this was the worst performance of the season, we lacked any sort of commitment going forward and seemed to kick the ball away at every opportunity. I hoped we may win a game for once but it looks like we may do a London Welsh

Makes no difference to me at all .. perhaps we'll be brought down to earth next season who knows .. that's the beautiful game for you 

Fair enough, I can see you crashing next season but as you said who knows?

I wouldn't say deluded .. We as fans have a right to dream. . and at the moment we have a right to dream. . Mock all you want we don't care 

There is dreaming, then there is delusion, if an Oxford fan said they would be above Newcastle next season, they would be called deluded...

It's not funny, it's sad. If this person can be so deluded, his entire life must be a mess. Does he still beleive Santa pops down the chimney every Christmas? 

Wait, your saying he doesn't...??

I'm loving the references to our stadium as being a rugby ground, they are obviously forgetting theirs is a rugby stadium primarily that they stole...

I was more referring to that if you try and find anything about them, very little turns up other than they have taken over Rovers. I have found a post on another forum from someone who has done a lot more searching that I (very little in truth).

In the post they said the Al-Qadi bank has assets of 1.7 billion, but also liabilities of 1.5 billion. That leaves 200 million, the family has a 30% stake, so that leaves the Al-Qadi Family with circa 60 million.

These were from 2014 statements, but 60 million total from their main source of money is a far cry from what you lot like to claim.

All false, he is richer than 'Letdown' didn't you know....

Fabio I think

I have my ways....
