Cherry on the top of a good preseason. Pun intended. Well done lads.

More on the penalty It was Atkinson who won the ball high up the field and played it forward to Weimann who made the run into the box. He was barged over by Chris Mephham and the ref pointed to the spot. Martin then hammers it into the top right corner to give the visitors the lead. His second of pre-season.

Wow, what a block! Mark Sykes... take a bow! Bournemouth look certain to score as Solanke turns Naismith in the box and plays it to Christie. His shot is heading for the bottom corner with Bentley beaten but Sykes is on hand to get something on it. Bentley then scoops it off the line.

That's a brand new shirt...ruined!

Seems we've started well.

What filling in the roll? Will you still be hungry after a decent brekkie?

Bugger! I actually shifted things around to the AM to make time to watch it. Oh well, enjoy the game if you are going. Roll on next Sat!

Sounds a bit like sour grapes to me. I think if he was good enough and fit enough for where we are right now, he'd still be here. Conway, 2 years younger just landed a new 3 year deal. The club don't often get these decisions wrong, time will tell as always.

Delighted with that. We all needed a lift after Tyreeq's depature.

That's it in a nutshell for me. Challenged and taken out of his comfort zone, couldn't respond in the right manner. Now he's gone from promising Champ player to L1, albeit a good side. I think a future with us was still open to him at one point. I'll be interested to what Owls fans think come next May or even Jan.

If we got a 6 figure fee, we've done well i reckon.

And from our end... https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/bakinson-departs-city/ Tyreeq Bakinson has left City to join Sheffield Wednesday. The midfielder has signed for the Owls for an undisclosed fee. The 23-year-old joined the Robins from Luton Town in 2017 and has made 54 appearances, scoring five goals. During his spell in BS3 Bakinson had loans at Newport County, Plymouth Argyle and the second half of last season at Ipswich Town. We would like to thank Tyreeq for his efforts for the club and wish him all the best for the future.

Him knocking on Dean Holden's door asking for the chance to be involved for the coming season, which in fairness to him he did seem to take at first, seems a long time ago. Seen enough players come and go at our club, let alone others, for it to be clear that attitude and hard work get you further than talent alone. Probably true for many walks of life. Dont feel like wishing him all the best but i do hope he learns from the last year or two.

Nice couple of goals for Conway today. Smart striker. In the right place at the right time. Could be seeing more of him this season i reckon.

It's actually my 46th birthday today, i was born on what was the hottest day on record until a few years back. If my Mum could endure 36 hours of labour in a non air conditioned ward at Southmead, i reckon we'll be fine. Be sensible and stay hydrated, that's what I'll be doing.

2nd half starting 11... O'Leary; Vyner, Towler, Idehen; Sykes, King, Massengo, Wilson; Bell; Wells, Martin

That did not disappoint. He won't forget that one in a hurry. Great effort.

I don't follow cycling but always enjoy watching the tour. Particularly enjoy the summit finishes. That was fantastic today. Looking forward to Alpe d’Huez tomorrow.

Went to Croatia some years back in the middle of a heatwave there. It was 40 degrees on the coast! You could barely move wihout bursting into a sweat. They hadn't had any rain for 2 months and when it did finally break whilst we were there, people were out dancing in the streets in sheer relief. The next few days was a cool 32-35 degrees.

Bit late Dave. I think they went under around 2000 years ago. Probably a Frankie Howerd joke in there too. (Play) Up Pompei!

Why go to that extreme? Add to that you've never even seen one to form that opinion.

Alex Scott on RTV duty today. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/scott-on-robins-tv-for-cheltenham-game/

Speaks very well, both his level of English and the attitude. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/stefan-eyes-progression/

Bonsoir by the time they announce! Haha i didn't watch long enough. Bienvenue Stefan.

He's gone early! Surely announced this evening.
