Well there’s one thing for sure, whatever you or I think or feel about the potential appointments being mooted on the forum, it doesn’t matter one jot. We’ll get what we’re given and will have no more say than that. I have no idea who’d be a good fit for the club, some managers do well at certain clubs, despite fans thinking otherwise. If a manager/head coach does well at one club, doesn’t mean they’ll work in the same way at another. Given all the variables,personnel, financial, the culture, the players etc. there’s no real way to know until they’re here and doing the job. So let’s hope everything clicks whoever it is

You know listening to what he said on the podcast, it did sound vaguely familiar from a post on here actually

No more reactions so….

Thanks. Interesting to have the comparison. Well yes. Definite improvement in most areas tbf. significantly in passing accuracy as well as shots on target.

Honestly if that was your first ever introduction to football podcasts you’d never bother ever again Talk about depressing!

Well according to Ian Gay, his source has said, it will be someone the fans will get very excited about!

So at no point would they or their agent step into BCFC or the HPC. I think most people want to look over the goods first. It’s not all talk. also think about how many people have suddenly left their jobs recently. Some of whom potentially don’t feel they owe the club much and still have links inside. It’s not impossible.

Bit off topic but blimey what a dour Forever Bristol City Podcast. I get that people have got their own opinions, but according to Les he actually finds it embarrassing the level of support for NP. And doesn’t understand the “Nigel love in” as he termed it. He focused mainly on the on pitch results which if fair enough and on paper no it wasn’t great. When the injuries were mentioned his answer was simply “ well that’s football”! It might well be football, but you usually have the board behind you, a reasonable budget and a demonstration of a cohesive team from board to team. He had a budget but that meant he could really only afford 1st division footballers. They were happy with him whilst he was following their project once that was pretty much done and dusted they’ve had enough.

I think on hearing CF post match, the way they played yesterday made more sense. Albeit a bit boring at times he asked for a much more passing game ( and we’ve definitely been guilty of hoofing the ball forward and reaching No one recently) and I thought they definitely delivered on that, doubling SW’s number of passes. I know possession isn’t always everything, but we had that too. I’m a huge Weimman fan before and after his brilliant goal scoring season, but I do think he’s struggling this season. I know he’s been out injured, but whether it’s his position or something, it just doesn’t seem to be quite clicking at the moment. All in all think Tommy is better in a two upfront, their defence kept him pretty well covered so difficult for him to shine.

Yes agree. Always felt he and O’Dowda were never quite the same after injury. Pretty common and understandable too.

Although listening to Curtis they were doing exactly what he wanted them to do,less balls over the top and far more passing. Yeah think James was a bit restricted in his play today maybe a “just getting back from injury” type game.

Todays and the last game he’s really starting to feature. Want sure to begin with but I think he took a while to settle in. sure he’ll gain in confidence.

Thanks.

I think someone who has attempted suicide a few times has a little more than fragility!!

Think that’s me you own an apology to

Let’s just say having two people in my life with serious mental health issues one of whom is my own daughter, I’m hardly likely to go causing offence.

You clearly need to read back through properly before attacking me,for using that description. RobinforLife stated he/she had mental health problems and I was sincere in my compassion about it. Always best to actually read thoroughly before attacking someone.

But sometimes IMO it’s good to know when to just leave well alone

Ross Arnott looks like he’s a much more serious interviewer than some we’ve seen. .

Come on. He’s explained the info he had and gave. He can’t be held responsible for not knowing what the clubs actions were or are. You did read the bit about his mental health being fragile did you?

Really sorry that you received abuse after obviously genuinely just trying to give us supporters a little more of what we want to know. wishing you all the best with your mental health struggles and thank you.

No. Player of the month after Pearson. Think he’s been coming more and more into games.

….. Hang on I’m still none the wiser

I see, so you think he is who you thought he was ? xxxxxxx

Yeah I agree, although if there had been more funds available earlier in the summer/season,him taking a break for his health probably wouldn’t have been such an issue as it seems now, as it might if he’d stayed in the current circumstances.
