Sturgess

This! In fact, I was surprised to see him calling the players over during an injury break... then again, probably just re-iterating the importance of sticking to the plan - despite the boos

RTV commentator: “A few anxious sounds from both sets of supporters”. I think those “anxious sounds” are coming from one team, mate.

The cunning ‘no emotion’ plan.

Our match day guest commentator seemingly happy with how well we’ve done off the ball, just waiting for the discussed forced-mistakes to occur... Exciting stuff eh. Home team you say.

That with a tinge of arrogance, after all, what do fans know?! Whilst we may not be paid or experts, many of us have been there and seen it too many times and can see the wood for the trees exactly because we aren’t ingrained in the expected internal workings and cultures. Keep turning up and spending your hard-earned, then you have fulfilled your duty.

Where is your passion and effort? Where are my leaders, doing by example. P.s don’t get too emotional

This! ^

I don’t think he’d ever make it to the boardroom to get the news, he only knows sideways and backwards.

You could see the clear direction of travel and where things were headed, despite the blips along the way. That clarity has now turned in to uncertainty, with a few people squarely to blame for the repercussions.

Probably part of his negotiations that he’d want assurance over the minimum severance term on the basis that he was a) approached by us b) would be leaving a leave a club he was performing well at.

Just don’t do any online banking on your computer after

Max O'Leary saves for City

Yeah he badly needs it!

Basically that Toby Osborne said off screen that even he could score it. Jest or not, you don't need your own RobinsTV employees mocking a player who no doubt is struggling for confidence. No probs off-screen, but nothing to gain in saying that on-air.

Yeah, not sure he needed to reveal what was discussed off-camera. Very unprofessional, regardless of how it was intended. Legit or not, unnecessary.

Yeah, he had to take that! Hopefully another chance or two in the game for him to boost his confidence.

RIP fellow Red. Condolences to family and friends.

Sorry for the score update delays, takes a while to extinguish and re-light.

Pearson? Whilst the in-situ manager/ Head Coach may have a say from a shortlist put in front of them, isn’t it the club recruitment department that effectively curate that list? Bit different than Pearson being able to independently say “here’s who I want, go get him”.

Therein lies my point, sometimes you have to force the oppo to react, rather than waiting for something to happen - force them to respond. Granted, you may concede a possession or a chance, but it works both ways right?!

Too much positional discipline and responsibility, maybe players need to have or show a little more freedom or a preparedness to gamble by making a run even though it may leave ‘their’ man free?

Or ‘0’

Lucky for us, there’s a pathway for youngsters…

Wonder what the reason is?!

As avoidable and foreseeable this uncertainty was [in sacking Nige], I genuinely don't think we can associate Ashton Gate and toxic in the same sentence.Sure, we may get the odd chorus of boos and the like, but if ever there were a time, it would/should've happened after Nige was sacked. The gate feels very vanilla and flat nowadays, with little of the sparkle or magic I remember growing up - it could just be I'm old and cynical, granted. However, it was that magic that built my life-long passion for the club - what entices the new generation to attend [and their parents to fork out]? Dare I say it, it feels like the majority have been beaten into submission and reluctantly accept the club is distant, despite tokens such as the Robins Foundation. It all just feels clinical. Sorry, rant over and I signed up to this torture for life!
