Think we could do with a big bully type as an alternative to Conway and Bell to change things if its not working out upfront ,

What a well grounded guy...great interests outside football!! Be great as one of your favoured guests round the dinner table...

Not received much praise over the past 12 games but how my confidence in him has changed. He is very good positionally..and just watching the longer highlights from yesterday he was drawn to the near post but when the ball was switched to the far side he sped across the goal to block a shot at the other. Minutes later he came well out of goal to reach a high ball cleanly amongst a melee of players. Quick and decisive...becoming a really goalie ... and really beginning to appreciate his strengths and of late, few weaknesses.

Felt he was a yard inside. 

It's not the questions...it's all about the answers and I for one yet again found NP's answers great..he's a clever bloke with good understanding of what is important for the men he manages....be it from the academy through to the most experiences.

Nearly fifty years ago we beat Leeds in the fifth round...they were top of the first division and were unbeaten in 32 games, and if I remember correctly we were in a similar position as now in our league. Anything's possible!

and it was midweek!!

But if this was imminent why let Bajic go...not good in only the only appearance I have seen but if on 3 Yr contract he needs to be part of first team squad after Bentley. Another lot of dosh not giving the returns we wanted?

What do I need to be educated on? Is my comment inappropriate in any way?

Basically you are only saying women's football is rubbish as no doubt you would go to watch the men in all weathers. So right on it is inappropriate!! 

Any update on how long TC is out?

Not far off I don't think....Amy club scouting him today would have snapped him up there n then..  

Said it before but HNM has mostly been used as a defensive midfielder...hardly ever at the front where he is freer to express his skills and flair and energy. We will see where he is played when he heads off to wherever...

Can you just explain what you mean re “bin off the high earners”?  And do you mean in January?

Strange as it may seem I'd be reluctant to encourage Wells to leave..think we have seen a very much better player this season (utilising his skills more, got belief in himself back) and we do need to retain some experience. By all accounts Pearson has praised him highly, Conway says he's been hugely supportive..and watching him support the team from the touchline suggests he still really feels and is committed to supporting his team mates.

Sykes didn’t help him out much either.

 

That was Big challenge for Low....he was left so exposed with no-one near him to encourage, support and cover him.

What I really like about NP is that after games he reports it honestly and very much as most fans saw it. None of the bull......as most managers give..and many of our own managers included...who often took us for mugs n were more keen to justify their own innocence in failure!!

I think it's actually an interesting question. We're in a good position right now, but not really so good that we can seriously expect promotion this season. Our overall situation is fragile as well. FFP, young talent leaving, older stalwarts fading and retiring, possible ownership changes, or the manager or coaches leaving. All very real threats that would affect our prospects of promotion. It's more likely imo that one or two of those things does happen rather than none happens.

There is also our historical tendancy to be a 2nd/3rd level club rather than a 1st/2nd level. Our general tendancy to finish lower in this division than higher.

Relegation is also easier than promotion.

I think realistically in the long term relegation is more likely than promotion.

 

Not sure this is different from any other club in the championship!

Amazing how quickly things change isn’t it!  You might argue that if you want to bring Antoine back in, you should do it alongside Martin, and recreate WSM?

As you say, good position to be in.

What is great is how we can all see that NP actually plays people in form. Keeps them in the team until has to decide otherwise...but most importantly does not hang around making those decisions when needed!

I’ve got a funny feeling about this one… Something unusual is going to happen.

Penalty?

Did request something along these lines several years ago...currently limited to 'come on you reds' and 'drink up thee cider' n few other very obvious ones...boring n frustrating for me...

Don’t think this will work somehow…hence this thread. I would just like the words to the current songs so I can sing them to my hearts content. Would also be good to encourage some new songs for our newer first-teasers…

Won't do any harm n could increase everyone's involvement and raise the atmosphere!

Agree with the poster..often haven't a clue what is being sung..may sound good but discerning the words is often difficult.

Did see the Bristol Bath match last Saturday...and hearing the rising sound of BRISTOL...very effective and created good sound....something simple can be equally as effective as songs adapted and unknown to many!!
