Wasn't good enough to start for Grimsby but we'll happily chuck him in here where it matters for us. We are academy dumbstruck at this club.

Get him off the pitch FFS. He's not ready and hasn't ever shown that he is.

Towler....

I don't like this one bit. Think we need to score 3 today to get anything looking at that backline.

Probably would be an acceptable excuse for LJ had he played anywhere near like going to war and didn't have his actual dad with him looking after his career for 20 years!

Such a shame we rewarded those Bristol City legends for their promotion with giving them Lee Johnson as manager. They deserved so much more. Edit- I say promotion. Sorry, I mean double winning league and cup championship.

Sorry to bump this but haven't slept since hearing this news. I was never in favour of capital punishment but I can't see how we don't bring it back for stuff like this.

He should be banned for life. Disgusting. Outrageous.

Vyner is so ******* shit it's almost getting funny.

Maybe slightly harsh. I think he is interested (why wouldn't he be, this is the highest he'll ever play) but he doesn't have the football intelligence, concentration or ability required for this level. He's about a midtable League One player at best imo. Not the worst defender but probably the worst footballer at the club. At League One you can get away with not being able to pass the ball to team mates provided you can defend well at that level, see, and to a much lesser extent than Vyner, Derrick Williams.

I'm the OP and not mentioned anything about the manager. I feel sorry for him. In all his career he's not been surrounded by a more incompetent bunch. It's a miracle he's not murdered one of them.

And the passing has been a theme since the final 12 months of LJ's reign. Basic football coaching left this club under his stewardship. Criminal.

I would think so too but only because others have had point deductions.

Utterly pathetic performance from a bunch of gutless and incapable footballers. This side wouldn't challenge for the playoffs in League One and that's the shocking reality of where we are.

Bakinson and Martin off at half time please God.

Christ these players are so poor.

Unimpressive start have to say. Bakinson looks back to normal and our only set piece ended up with the worst passer in the league attempting a cross.

Had a beef and veg pasty last night at HT (Jamaican had sold out) - was bloody lovely tbf.

I hope they both stand on upturned plugs for eternity.

Lansdown might be the least knowledgeable owner in the whole football league sadly. Some will argue, and that's fair enough, but you can't argue that he's in the bottom 10 imo.

Chill out you cuck. If if happened I don't expect a thank you.

Not sure what you mean mate? We were talking about 2016 or whenever it was.

3 points off relegation is very much at risk.

Pring hasn't yet shown me he's ready or will be for Championship football, sorry. He's not a youngster either so I'm not sure he'll be at this level long - he wouldn't be for anyone else other than us. Semenyo, maybe - he's not yet convinced me entirely, perhaps being harsh. Certainly far more likely than Pring. Benarous looked years off on Saturday, he looked about 12 v adults. Would rather see him loaned out to L1 or L2 depending if he can get game time for the next couple years. So he'd remain off the list for this and next year for sure. Bell and Conway - not from what I've seen could I say they'll be ready to play Championship football next year.

Anyone but the following who I believe have the ability to play (now, or next season) Championship football: Bentley, Dasilva, Tanner, Kalas, Baker, Atkinson, Massengo, James, Williams, King, Scott, Weimann, Wells So we've a squad of 13 Championship footballers (IMO) for this or next year and we expect to be anywhere away from a relegation battle....
