Did you mean inside this year?

I think we would all prefer us to win 4-0 every game,,, but we cant cause were not very good, despite the idiots in charge trying to convince us that we are.

Lucky hes in instead of tgh, otherwise we would be really shite

There cant be politics, jon lansdown told us we had a top 6 squad. He must have been telling the truth! Hes like a rich boris johnson.

yeah, it must be true, its written in the post..

Face palm all you want, what player has ever come out and said he doesn’t like working with the new coaches?

Thats like turkeys voting for Christmas, which player is going to come out in the local press and say anything but how he loves working with the new coaches and is excited for the future?

Agree to a point,., but they were in the europa league and established in the premier having gone up in our play off season,,, id swap our last 20 years for theirs!

Agreed, bell is lightweight and inexperienced but this will get better as time passes,, hes called up for the england under 20s, and knows where the goal is, and is in his first full season as a pro. He cost us nothing, and his first manager who gave him a chance has just gone,, im not sure what exactly people are expecting?

Tgh and james are about the only ones weve got who can play possession, why on earth would you put williams in instead of tgh?

I will raise you a gustav engvall? Kasey palmer, based on cost and return must be the worst though? has to be said though. Marley watkins is a joke, the fact hes at a respected spl club shows how bad that standard really is.

Yes, take sam bell,,, hes clearly at his best in space having a go at cutting in and getting a shot away, he will get more experienced and stronger of course, but as it stands, getting involved in intricate build up play receiving the ball with his back to goal isnt what he is good at,,, we have been set up for quick breaks and if thats changing we are losing what made us dangerous,,, and we really only have a couple of players with good enough technique to do it.

This is like something from a lee johnson power point presentation! Perhaps guardiola can coach that in to a team with some of the best players in the world, but with our lot, we are making mistakes and scoring own goals, and cant score, it seems to me that developing patterns of play and relationships shouldn’t have to be that micro managed?! If we make top 6 it will be a miracle anyway, so what the hell i guess

Im more worried about the scottish brick outhouse is wearing gloves on a Bristol morning!?

Exactly that,, could we afford it?? Yes clearly we have the funds for that level of signing, but whether the club are willing to do it is another matter.

I think we are way past that point! It would surprise no one if a new signing or 2 is confirmed in January to go against that wage budget is full story. i don’t necessarily believe just signing new players all the time should be done… ideally several would be moved out to cut the wage bill, but that’s probably not likely til the summer now, if we are going to challenge, some quality is clearly required.

I dont believe much that the club put out, including that there is no budget for new signings, im sure its been announced since that we might be looking to bring 1 or 2 in, in january,, there’s propaganda going on constantly. It their new manager wants a couple of signings the wage budget will be found.

Have to agree,, unless we are looking over our shoulders by then..

We might as well not bother then, we got 25 million for our best player a few months ago, a 5 million attacking midfielder in the right age group who has worked with our manager previously and is on loan at hull city shouldnt be out of the question, especially given what weve spent on so much shite over the years. If it is, then why are we bothering?

A keeper, scott twine and adam idah would be a good start,, though i dont see any reason to think we might finish between 10-15th, unless we go on a really bad run, which is certainly possible

We all know that anyone decent was sold off and replaced with academy lads or first teamers who were inferior to what was sold, in an effort to stabilise the finances. He inherited a shambles and left us a solid mid table team with tens of millions in the bank,,, manning comes in as a super coach trying to introduce a passing game that only 1 or 2 players in the squad are technically able to cope with, when we had been building towards a fast counter team and bringing lads like knight in to play that way.

Well theres lloyd kelly and bobby reed scored at anfield today…. We end up selling the good ones and replacing them with usually, crap.

Bringing alex scott through will get us closer to the premier than signing cornick and mehmeti ever will!

Well at least bell has some goal threat, mehmeti has done practically nothing since he signed.

He needs to be moved on, along with quite a few of the others.
