  1. Now now, if you play really well but miss a one on one, it means you’ve played terrible and are awful. They are the rules. In the same way that if you play poorly and score a pen, you’ve played well.
  2. Expecting Max to get criticism soon for not being in the game enough
  3. A rest?!? He went 120 midweek and looks fresh as **** today. Incredibly fit.
  4. As the saying goes, lose your FA Cup games on penalties, win your away games. Thats what gets you promoted
  5. People will nail Cornick for that as if it’s some sort of open goal chance that Conway 100% would’ve scored from
  6. Yeah, light training though. Don’t think he’s anywhere near being considered for games yet.
  7. Had another set back before Christmas, would do well to play this season it sounds like.
  8. Yeah. Don’t think he had the greatest of times by all accounts. Wonder what they’ll mean for his future.
  9. Atkinson starting, but no Sykes in squad….
  10. I think this is where I’m at too. King, James, Weimann, Williams all going are huge leaders and personalities in the dressing room. On yesterday’s Stick to Football, Neville & Keane made a huge point about how important it was for them to have senior successful pros to look up to, who they could aspire to try to replicate. Even put United’s recent downfall to having none of those characters over the last 10 years. If they are all to go, of which Weimann King & James are basically guaranteed to be off - that leaves Wells, Naismith and Cornick as the most senior experienced pros…. It’s a hell of a risk. Sunderland have an extremely young squad, but that was built with again some sprinklings of older quality, and ultimately just having extremely talented young players, more so than us. We all already knew we had a small squad, so I personally don’t see how recruiting Bird & the two young lads in cm (tbc on if they’d even be first team starters next season anyway), but letting 2 potentially 3 CMs go, strengthens us in any way possible. Would require further CM shopping, as well as more than likely spending a decent chunk of cash on a new striker, and either doing the same for a GK or continue being weak in that department too. Over to Tinns, I guess!
  11. Gotta say, big respect for doing an episode for a game that no one could even watch. Dedication that OSIB even in our peak era of being bright eyed and bushy tailed with enthusiasm for recording episodes would never have reached
  12. Newcastle have eyes all over now. Said in a post a few months ago, but they’ve taken a lad from clevedon on a 2 year YTS. City weren’t interested until hearing Newcastle were…
  13. A stream?!? But there were none anywhere, you gatekeeped a stream?!?
  14. Not necessary, I’d rather see the consistency in performances over sneaking the wins overall. Although there’s also no getting away from the fact we haven’t won in the league since Boxing Day, so there does need to be some give. Boro particularly feels pretty big, given our decent record there over the years, and the fact we could either go above them or fall further away from even mid table heading into facing one of the form sides in Europe Dire, TGH, Pring, James all played no/limited minutes though. So we can freshen things up.
  15. The latter is how I feel too. Proud of the FA Cup performances, but can’t help but have the niggling feeling that I just wish they were actually in the league. Follow this up with a poor performance at Boro & vs Saints and it’ll be tough to take, and these performances probably forgotten
  16. How are we to know who the best penalty takers are…?!? Who are the 7 players that should’ve been ahead of him?
  17. I’m not being OTT in saying that Wells miss might be the worst I’ve ever seen in a city game. Almost a bit relieved it happened to him and not Cornick.
  18. Play well, miss chances, have nothing to show for it at the end. That is so city
  19. Jesus Christ Radio Bristol can’t describe a ******* thing
  20. Is Forest away also the last time we won a penalty shootout?
  21. Didn’t we beat Forest away on pens in the JPT in 06/07?
  22. Crazy isn’t it. But I guess Taunton are desperate for the cash. Over 2hrs trip for a home game!
