It’s worth a read Fordy - a lot of them had him summed up in the first couple of weeks

So random person outside the UK thought they would abuse him. Bit random dont you think to target Mark Little of all people? Unless it wasnt random at all and was as is being investigated a fan of your club.

Yep -

I was getting desperate!  If we were to play wing backs then what options would be better at left wing back? Marriapa?

When I looked at that starting 11 I thought that might be the best way to go. And I still think that actually. We looked terrible in that 433 with Mariappa left back, Wells right wing. Lansbury in front of our defence!?

Holden seemed to agree with me when he moved him there 2nd half and went to 352. I don't think Semenyo is a wing back but we don't really have any obvious player to play left back or left wing back. 

Hudson Odoi has recently played a couple of games at wing back for Chelsea and looked fine. I think sometimes wingers can do that role if they work hard like Semenyo does, and has good attributes like Semenyo has for that role.

Not ideal but would not have looked any worse than how Holden had us set up!

Fair enough

But an experienced Ex Premier League defender shouldn’t look so out of place , even playing on the wrong side

Not easy but give him some protection and just ask him to defend no frills , basically and simply

Been very disappointed in him , even with the mitigation he’s out of position

Semenyo had a bad game today except a couple of good things he did.

To be fair there haven't been many bad games from him, and is often our main creative spark. I am always thinking get it to Antoine.

It should be him that is inconsistent not some of the others. But to be fair to the others I don't think Holden sets them up right so no one is expected to play to their best when the blend isn't right.

Yet you wanted to play Semenyo at Left Wing Back !

That's football in Bristol, in three lines there.

Someone once summised Bristol football thus: they have Windass who stopped us reaching the PL; we have Colin Daniel, who plonked them into the non-leagues. There's the difference. 

And in all honesty ,

and I’m as guilty as anyone

It sums up Bristol Football that the best both sides can do is take the p out each other of repeated failures and underachievement 

I do think 5 Accrington players taking the knee for the last 20 mins is taking the p** a bit

That clown Hadwin has just said 3 minutes a time added on,  and that 

 ‘ there isn’t enough time left for Rovers to get something out of this game’

When they announced today that there are 11 cases of the new mutation in Bristol 

I didn’t realise they meant the Sags 

Might have to pick up Radio Bristol post match 

‘Ive lived through 2 wars , power strikes , Thatcher , 3 divorces , etc ‘

Five

oh my word

Smart training ground btw

Bad result for the Saggies tonight - lost 4-1 at Accrington then

Oh **** me , Ive just seen it’s only half time !

On a more sombre note

I see one of their regular posters , and one who challenged the Club regularly , much to many’s consternation over there

‘ Gasincider ‘ (Real name Brian Williams) has passed away at RUH after contracting CoVid 

Supported the gas from early 70s and travelled home and away 

Very Sad

RIP Brian

Another week and no goals. I don’t like to told you so but.... 

Spelling OK? 

And today...

You crack on Belter

Keep posting for yourself , with your trousers round your knees 

The fact that you are well along the line of achieving possibly the biggest bell end to have eversigned up,to the forum , which will stay with you for ever ,  is neither here or there I guess

Back to Football Manager , no school tomorrow

Did you read the second last post on Page 2? Apparently OTIB is owned by the club and whole threads are removed at it`s direction.

Proof - no-one who`s not a member can see the transfer forum!

They get more and more deluded by the day - do they really think that if OTIB was run by the club all the Mark Ashton stuff would be allowed? Laughable!

Deluded doesn’t even touch it does it

I wonder if there’s another Club In the Football World , that produces a laugh a minute 

Timeless enjoyment

I bet if you went on slagchat now someone will have suggested it.

Last time I looked they were talking about trying for Jordan Rhodes on loan

So extremely likely !

Their appears to be internal disgruntlement and bickering as it appears the mods (What a bunch of clowns they are on that forum) have been banning a number of their own for criticising Wael and the regime

https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/17386/question-moderators-open

It’s like a little bit of North Korea in Filton

( You may laugh , but it has consequences as most of them will be related )

A lot of p taking on here , but with Lampard becoming available and Wael best mates with everyone at Chelsea

it could be the start of a whole new era.........

I see a lot of parallels with when Hollowhead got sacked - like the dog gobbler he’d been in the job a long time, then he moves on and is replaced with a succession of managers who somehow contrive to be worse than the last one (Gerry Francis, Garry Thompson).

I watched T*tsdale’s post-match interview yesterday and although he made all the right noises about the players knowing their performance was unacceptable, we need to win on Tuesday, you could tell his heart wasn’t really in it. I think he knows he’s a dead man walking, which is remarkable given how little time he’s been in the role.

What a shame.

Interesting you picked up on that - Don’t know whether it was the same I/v but I heard his post match I/v on Radio Bristol and commented on it yesterday evening in a post

Ge sounded ‘cold’ , barely interested , and totally lacked any sign of enthusiasm or buying into the job with any passion in the slightest

I thought it was awful and if I was a Sag  , would have seriously alarmed me 

oh well never mind ......

That can't be statistically correct, can it..? Surely not..? 

If it a direct comparison against the 2 eras, then it's perfectly valid to claim that they were shite then and they are shite now.... 

But surely its not actually possible for their great saviours to even be anywhere close to the laughable efforts of Ben Garner...? 

 

Garner 12 pts from 11 games

Tisdale 10pts  from 10 games

Both shite and Tisdale maintaining the consistency

Probably the best 300k we have spent in recent years - his goals and assists earned us ten times that, it`s often forgotten how many he got in the early rounds of the LC run.

Add in the comedy factor with the blue few................................

Agreed - Not quite enough to take us up a level but Cracking value for money , good in dressing room apparently and always gave %100, not sure he ever ‘let us down’ tbh

Not sure you can argue with that 

No goals for Antoine today

That @Better Red May be right you know

Whats the betting no goals again tomorrow
