His first City goal ?

Being replaced with TB ‘Williams looks emotional’

Huge thanks EA a school boy error from me ? now listening in

I have a season pass for Robins TV but can’t get any audio (says I’m in an unauthorized country) can anyone help please?

Goal! Forest Green Rovers 1, Bristol City 0. Jamille Matt (Forest Green Rovers) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the top right corner. Assisted by Jack Aitchison.

Short-term deal apparently, here’s where they’ve all ended up Adelakun - Lincoln City Baker - Re-signed on a two year deal Diédhiou - Alanyaspor Gilmartin - Swindon Town (assistant manager) lasted 24 days! Hunt - Sheffield Wednesday Lansbury - Luton Town Mariappa - Nurse - Shrewsbury Town Paterson - Swansea City Rowe - Doncaster Rovers Walsh - Swansea City Watkins - Cardiff City Wollacott - Swindon Town Edwards - Forest Green Rovers

Well they are all starting except TB who is on the bench and it’s 11 not 8 changes! COYR’s just settling down with Radio Bristol when the Pre match commentary was pulled. Particularly relieved that TK is playing.

As always (honestly) looking forward to this especially as it’s an opportunity for numerous squad players to impress and stake a claim. Hope MO’L, DS, TK, TM, TB, JW HNM and NW all start. I know that’s eight changes but would hope they are all in contention for a place in the first team.

Presume a deal is lined up already otherwise can’t see why NP would go public. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-city-adam-nagy-transfer-5757233

Add COD

Yes, I’m hoping so too. Lots of 1-1 in the Championship today, result of the day has to be Hull City

Pretty much everyone knew before today that goal scoring was going to be one of our biggest challenges, today simply reinforced it. Despite being the better team for large periods we never really looked like getting a second goal and when we did create chances, COD and AW for example in the first half, we could not even hit the target. So, IMO we need to strengthen our forward line and that means selling someone. We have three weeks to do those deals otherwise, I fear, we will be in for a tough season with few goals. I know we have NW and AS to consider however I can’t see us scoring many unless we add someone. To be clear lots of other aspects of our performance today were encouraging.

Most obviously we always needed a second goal to be sure. Pros - our energy and shape especially in the first half, created several good chances, AS and SB being trusted Cons - it looked like they might sneak one and so late on they did, us not hitting the target with good chances (COD and AW in particular), COD getting injured early on Thought we might just make it a home win and a clean sheet, but hey we are Bristol City!

Agreed, in that half we've been more energetic, managed better closing down and certainly won the midfield battle. Major concerns 1) need to be more clinical COD and AW both should have at least hit the target 2) concentration +++ danger of getting caught on the break or being undone by one long back. However, overall a much better team performance and so much more entertaining to watch.

Two bold assertions coming up… 1) There will be not one single FFS on this thread today 2) The number of FFS on OTIB will significantly decline under NPs management Just a mo, sorry about that there were two blokes in white coats at the front door COYR

A it’s flag day….https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-city-flag-day-tribute-5747486 COYR
