Engvall’s Splinter

Bit of the ol Scotty Murray’s about him there.

Get in.

To be fair, it could be a lot worse.

Joe Bryan in off the post against United. No better sound.

The selling off of assets as got us to a position to financially tread water.

Pot stirring.

Nuts. Perhaps we offload Bajic then ?

To be fair (whilst I appreciate it’s unlikely) some have speculated that it’s 20m up front. That would mean straight in the bank if true, wouldn’t it?

I reckon Pearson will leave MO’L as our only recognised keeper and should the worst happen he’d apply for an emergency loan. Sure I read a something around the lines of emergency keepers and loans, that you can apply to use it if your reserve keeper hasn’t played a certain amount of league fixtures.

Better chance, yes. Only chance, no. Didn’t Luton lose their player of the year Kal Naismith and then get promoted?

Pearson’s not silly. It was highly unlikely we’d have Scott at the end of the window. He’s had time to get used to it so it isn’t a shock. I would suspect he continually gets frustrated answering the same questions over and over.

If that is the case, Alexander has done very well.

And we’re off…

Shame we won’t get to see a Knight - Scott axis.

A centre midfielder who scores. Mint.

Alex who?

Radio Bristol stating the same as above. Scott having a medical.

Please don’t put facts on here.

Elaborate. Or have I missed something?

Just slightly OTT

Thought Dickie had a solid debut despite a slight hiccup in the second half which gave Preston an opportunity. Weimann is either played as a forward or not at all, regardless of his injury, in my view. We need more than just energy in midfield. For the time he was on, he’s busy but doesn’t seem to know where he should be or go when in or out of possession, often reacting to something rather than anticipating. Williams isn’t the answer but offers more than Weimann in my opinion. Preston looked a very capable and physical side. Typical Preston. They shaded the game. Point was a good result in the end. They had a real strong period after Bell’s goal. We did well to hold out until 80 odd minutes. Was expecting more from Knight. That said, as we know the Championship is a level up from League 1. It’ll take him a few games to find himself - and I’m confident he will. O’Leary needs genuine competition if we have ambitions of a top ten finish. Sykes over Cornick every day of the week. Id also like to see move the ball quicker right to left, missing a centre back and zipping it in to the full back. We are very laboured in position - notably due to a lack of forward movement but there’s no reason not to zip it across and open up the opposition. We let them reset too comfortably. Quality to see a good crowd. Sam Bell showing good forwards instincts for his goal.

ITK Ian Gay. Probably had a dream that Lansdown told him.

Decent bit of depth there. Fair play to those involved in the recruitment. Really impressed with Pearson and his team.

Desperately searching for something to moan about. The new season hasn’t even started yet … Laughable.

Whilst I’m not saying it is the case in this instance, often managers will come out after the game with limited information until the injury is properly assessed.
