  1. We’re just waiting for Lansdown to sell now with the club on the market. It’s uninspiring as a fan but it feels to me like the clubs ticking over while we wait for new ownership. Playing it very safe with finances etc.
  2. I don't understand the Arsenal comparisons, it's a reproduction of a classic City shirt! Yes it has white sleeves but we've copied our own shirt not another club's.
  3. When Lansdown took over we were mid table in the championship. Since then we have reached and lost a playoff final, been relegated, got back into the championship and are now back to being mid table in the championship. I personally don’t consider that a success, it’s continuity if you’re positive and stagnation if you’re cynical. It’s not all doom and gloom of course, we’ve got a great academy, training ground and pitch. We also haven’t gone bust, despite trying our best at times, but that’s surely the minimum requirement of a football club/business owner.
  4. That’s been said for years now, still waiting. Don’t think anyone can dispute Lansdown’s major improvements for the infrastructure of the club, unfortunately it doesn’t matter much if it’s not resulting in success on the pitch. Unfortunately we’re yet to see any bar a cup run and winning a league we shouldn’t have ever been in.
  5. Attack minded midfielder desperately, unless Knight can play every minute for the rest of the season. New contracts for Conway and Bell are desperately needed too.
  6. Whilst I'm realistic enough to know we won't be spending crazy money, surely we're in the clear enough with FFP to bring in 1-2 players this summer? I can accept sales like this if we're proactive and use the money to move forward but if the club end up sitting on a lot of it, and don't then start retaining future stars, then this is quickly going to become tedious.
  7. He’ll spend at least this season and next there. Doubt he’ll be signing anything less than a 4 year deal.
  8. Based on what? Them being less successful than us in the past? They seem to have some good money behind them now, think they’ll be there to stay for the foreseeable future unfortunately.

    That’s the point though, we don’t have lots of depth through the middle unless Weimann covers or we move Bell over. If Weimann moves over the midfield starts looking very thin. Not convinced Bell can do that job but I’d love him to prove me wrong. I don’t think we need to panic until the window closes and we know where we are as a squad. We really need one more for depth in midfield but we can cope barring complete disaster on the injury front.

    Weimann currently covering Scott in midfield, so if/when he leaves we’ll need another body in midfield for Weimann to provide depth through the middle. We don’t have 6 strikers do we? Conway, Wells, Weimann and who? Can Bell play regularly in the championship as the striker and perform? I agree we don’t need another striker but this does exacerbate the need for one more player (minimum) in midfield otherwise we’re trying to cover multiple positions with the same player.

    Got to get the injury excuses in early if we end up having a tough season.
  12. Defended well. Dickie looks solid to me. Negatives are we were very predictable when we chose to build through the midfield and most of the time chose to bypass them entirely.
  13. Ran out of Goat Curry before half time as well. Been looking forward to that all pre season and after that first half I needed a pick me up!
  14. Agree with others, knocking it long to Wells, Bell and Cornick is atrocious to watch and only going to result in Preston winning the ball back. Will be interesting what adjustments Pearson makes for Milwall.
  15. Long season ahead if we don’t invest in some creativity in midfield when Scott goes.
  16. A very dreary reality check. If we play like that every week we won’t progress from last season.
  17. Can anyone give any improvements from last season based on today?
  18. Very lethargic again. Not much urgency going forward and dopey at the back. Hope city prove me wrong last few minutes
