1st half summary. In the main, decent, started well, Hull has a spell of possession, then we got through it, scored when wed got back on top...and then weathered a bit of pressure in final minutes. +'s: Sykes, Naismith, Weimann -'s: None James and Williams dove-tailing nicely.

bye bye, til h-t

your problem??? ?

flipside: a team that missed Joe Williams for large chunks a team that now includes Luton POTY, Champ TOTS, Kal Naismith a team playing Alex Scott not at RWB I could go on. half full v half empty...fine margins, etc, etc

....Moore starts for Shrews

Wilson's knock...was an ankle (which he did right in front of us v Exeter). I'll update my data!!!!

BBC have no clue how Hull are lining up!!!! Hull have no natural LWB if they play a back 3. If a back 4, Greaves will probably play LB. Jones at CB is slow.

Tanner to cover RWB, Wilson to cover LWB (and RWB), if we need intensity. Looking forward to how Nige uses his 5 subs. He intimated they won't be premeditated like Barnsley's front-three swap on 60 minutes in their play-off season. COYR

Basically LJ signed Palmer a few days before the season started and through all his plans in the ?

He did do well with the high profile sales, but he didn’t get top dollar for several players too. Djuric, Engvall, Morrell, etc, he didn’t get more than they were worth there did he. He looked good in an inflationary market, where it was more difficult to lose money than make it. I don’t think he was that great at all. But then again I think he’s the worst thing about Bristol City FC in recent years.

The bizarre thing though is that he hasn’t realised Atkinson isn’t.

I wonder which one of his 7 “here’s what I’d do” line-ups Nige will pick, and when things don’t work out, he’ll revert to, this was the one he should’ve picked! ???

Correct Monkeh, unless specific clauses are inserted, e.g. sell-on only applies if sold within the timescale of the contract length. Otherwise it keeps filtering down.

I already donate to CFTs as work have them as their charity. Brilliant effort though Charlotte. I remember her doing the seats at AG. What an amazing young lady. ??????

When I was up there for the double header I commented that I was surprise they didn’t have advertisement hoardings around the pitch, not just for revenue but to stop the ball going through the white fence.

A time when rivalry goes out the window. Get well Nick.

Good pod Dave. ?????? Mark Ashton fibbed to Ian Gay about loan fees, you can see it in the annual accounts (if you hard enough). Not really in MA’s interests to say anything other than that is it, just like on the flip-side he was happy to say we had sell-ons even though it’s “commercially sensitive”. Naive to believe him…and yet he still repeats it. If Dan Bentley got sold, we’d go at get a number one to replace him with the fee received, plus the amortisation and wages saved. For info, Baker played RCB2 as a left footer at the start of last season, to allow Atkinson to play LCB2 on his natural side. Gary is right, we do get fixated by saying left footers can’t play right side, but we have no issue the other way around. Dasilva did fine at RWB too. Pring is back “on the grass” confirmed by Nige today, but obviously after you recorded. The other consideration re Vyner or Klose is who is best to pair with new-boy Kane Wilson, who has played a fair bit at RB in his fledgling career. He’s played LB too. Do you want experience or athleticism. Partnerships can be so key. This is the first full pre-season Joe Williams has completed with us. It can be so important to build the strength over that period rather than trying to play catch-up. No talk of Alex Scott in centre midfield until you started talking about the forwards (thanks Gary)!!! You end up talking yourself into a cul-de-sac when you talk about “best eleven” and then you reverse-up when talking about having to rest Martin….that’s why you have a squad of players who can come in. It’s fine to talk about the eleven for a game, like Hull, but over a 46 game season you only have to look at minutes played to see players all get their minutes. We might start to evolve counter-attacking towards possession this season. We aren’t gonna become Swansea overnight, but the reports from Bournemouth are that we kept the ball much better…which was evident from the friendlies I watched. Spot on re compo….you’ve been paying attention! ??? Ian is right re “someone has to want to buy him”….but if you drop your asking price, you might find buyers. There’s a big difference in setting a asking price to put people off, and setting one to attract interest. What we don’t know is if Han does want to go, does he only want to go home, rather than to the best bidder. Just because we aren't open re contracts, doesn’t mean talks aren’t happening. The club have been very good in stopping stories coming out. I think the days of large signing on fees and treble wages when signing OOC are over…clubs are skint. 1.5 points a game is 69 pts, top 8/9!!! will hold Ian to his 12-14th when he’s moaning because we are 11th! ???

Watford interested too. This won’t be a cheap loan, Derby paid big money…and still owe Arsenal instalments.

Guess 0.08, percentage-ised (8%) ain’t far off 92.6%?

??????

DM me Ian if you still need one

Give your season ticket to someone else for that game. Think I paid about £120 for Joe for that infamous night v Swindon 3-0 in 14/15. It’s a lot of money, but it was a brilliant experience for Joe….and for me too!

Looks like we are down to four players injured going into the weekend, Pring and Wilson back on the grass, Idehen played in u23s in the week:: Pre-season data filtered out.
