Henry

Thank you - I’m surprised others didn’t understand.

Nothing to do with his sexuality. Its a Bristol Sport employee drooling over players. He has form for being inappropriate

Pearson plays these players on merit. Fans are entitled to assess their performance on the same basis.

If a straight male club employee, made a similar post about the ladies team, would this be okay? weird bloke

Before he scored, I would have taken him off at half time. I’m not sure of him in the number 10 role. He lacks the composure and the pass to play there IMO.

Mind you, it did help that Wells (as he was about to shoot) and Martin (as he was about to break) both tackles him.

Was quite surprised to see him come on. I think O’Dowda needs to leave the club, but he seemed the most natural sub

Personally quite glad. The quality of his work has slipped and got fed of the childish goading of Pearson, a battle he was never going to win.

That looks like something Holden would have picked!

I don’t understand people saying it’s unimaginative. We have a small squad, so unless he starts picking all the kids, it’s not going to be too hard to predict.

Absolutely. Bristol Live posted an article few days ago saying that fans are starting to turn and Saturdays game is ‘do or die’. Im still enjoying this season far more than the last couple, albeit starting from a very low base!

I thought @Tim S had left…

And not recruiting for replacements.

I agree with that but I’m not sure what your reply has to do with my post?

Tell that to Chris Martin! Lloyd Kelly won almost every header against Martin

It’s gone a bit quiet on Downing? Assumed he would have left on Monday.

Both?

@Harry would you take a job from City if offered? Have you or your team approached the club since Ashton left?

Good to see you back @Harry My gut feeling was that a head of recruitment was being looked at in the summer, quite possibly Steve Walsh, but I believe he is currently in a job. When no one was appointed, I assumed that was because the people we were after, weren’t available or didn’t want to come, but the hunt remained. When the Bristol Post story came out last week about the data guys, it did feel like a PR stunt by the club, Do you think we are actually after anyone for that role?

Agree that Smith rarely sat in midfield. I think the ‘plan’ was that Nagy replaced Park and Massengo replaced Smith. I’d argue Massengo has that bite, but needs a season or two to develop that.

Because you alluded to knowing more, people speculated.

Any chance of some concrete information?

Any streams?

Absolutely awful. He offered Pring no protection and looked lost. As they attacked down our left for their goal, O’Dowda was wide right. I would not be disappointed to never see him play again.
