Wilbs send Reid coming on it seems

He's changed yo a white towel now. I so want a fan to nick it

Just as he gets more positive

Bamba constantly saving them

Agree we aren't too far wrong, just a few more yards positive. we seem to be a bit star struck by The Warnock Show, he's said he turns everything into gold and we look like we believe that.

For me Little was all wrong, just jogging back

I said that too, and O'Neil and Pack are sitting so deep as it is. Hard to go gung hb but need to be a bit more positive. on an aside, Cotterill practically begging for a job on tv. 'I took this player' , blah blah, mentioned Burnley more than once, just about waving is CV around really.

And said something like ' I had to recruit what I could recruit' seemed to be implying he didn't have such a free rein as Lee did/does. I guess we all realised this in time, but it's one of the first times I've heard these sort of statements from the horses mouth so to speak

Now he's talking, say we went there and 'absolutely battered 'em'

Talking about championship clubs who have changed their managers in international break. Not mentioned us at all yet

Course they have decent away support, every away day they are experiencing superior stadiums

Oh for flips sake, after a quick Google..that was him! Obviously I didn't recognise him, but there are two footballers that I have an irrational hatred for. One of them is Ryan Giggs, he just freaks me out and makes my skin crawl, and the other, from his ManU days, is ...yup, Gordon McQueen!!!

I saw him too walking along the concourse and went in the offices. He was with another man who made Joe look quite small, another scout or just a mate maybe? Now I bet you are all going to say it was someone I should have recognised

Indeed. Freeman was right infront of me and it looked like he took too big a stride as he was so desperate to make the effort to get forward. His legs just slipped from underneath him and he fell flat on his face, absolutely no question of a dive. I really felt for him, any groans were in sympathy for him not a critism against him. I hope he can add a goal at home soon, he certainly deserves one over the past few weeks...and I hope he doesn't grow his hair again so his form continues! Just a quick mention about Pack, the armband certainly suits him. Another great performance, so happy he got a rare goal too. Lovely bloke, great player, well deserved. Another all round team effort. Isn't it great!

Live from Ashton Gate! Well 15 mins ago. It's a little fuller now

I'm on my way back now, had the evening in London after the match. I've read a few pages on this thread and got to say I'm staggered by the pocession stats. It seems we were getting battered by them but we certainly were not. We were always fully in control and just got to say it was pretty much a perfect example of a team performance. They say stats don't lie but if asked I would have said pocession was heavily in our favour. Funny old game!

Great here. Making a hell of a lot of noise! Playing well and confident.

I'm expecting the norm...A 2-1 win for us after going a goal down early and waiting until after HT to stage our come back, and Tammy to get at least one of our goals

Over 15,000 there tonight, and a bit following from Exeter too. Plenty of eating and drinking going on and a fight broke out in the SS right at the end of the match! Some photos.

Thanks for that. So I guess we have to go with what we got and hope we can beat the teams that are more equal to us and also like yesterday hope for results like when Newcastle narrowly lost to help us.

I'm a relatively newcomer to rugby, so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what can Bristol do to change things as far as bringing in players? From what I gather there isn't a transfer window as such, and players just seem to join teams without transfer fees etc? Does this happen thoughout the season, or is it pretty much settled that you go with the players you have? What about us, if we have a player who is doing well can we suddenly lose him to another team? obviously changing the manager is an option, like I said I know very little about how the game works as far as players and coaches, but didn't the Bath manager, Mike Ford (?) become available last season, I was surprised instead of going for him we very much kept Robinson. So I guess the option to replace is not so easy now? Did we fail to strengthen badly, ie did we do a Bristol City in our last Cotterill season and chase after players out of our reach? Are we not attractive as it's thought newly promoted teams are also certainly relegation candidates? I did notice in our home match that we just weren't getting any distance when kicking the ball into touch. Gavin was again injured and we look much weaker without him, although I was impressed with Pisi and the player we got from Doncaster. So if any of you want to help answer my stupid questions, go ahead. They say you can learn something new everyday if you are prepared to.

They have just mentioned in the Newcastle v Leicester game that they are showing Bristol's next game live on BT Sport, great! Next Friday evening btw.

Whoever thought that was a good idea is in the wrong job, no amount of positive spin could save this. Shockingly, embarrassingly bad. No representation at the Freshers event would have been better than this shambles. They have done more damage than good here. And isn't it just great!!!

I just listened for the first time too. I am staggered. Was that honestly him or are we victims of a wind-up here, yes it was THAT bad, unprofessional and embarrassing that I am seriously questioning it.

No need for that. Take your strop out on someone else. I hit post before I meant to, please read my amended post and see if you still want to throw your toys at me.
