BCFCfan Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 if we cant beat Cheltenham then we got no chance against the bigger clubs this season I'm very disapointed in City as a holl latley had a shit pre season and cant sign any qulity guss were just a small club after all Hull lost 4-nil to Crewe. Get back to reality. It means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales From The Front Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hull lost 4-nil to Crewe. Get back to reality. It means nothing. You are right it means nothing....but creating few clear chances at Bournemouth does and it doesn't appear the Chelt goal has been peppered tonight.

internetjef Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 sounds like adebola is having a v good preseason, i expect GJ to def start first game with him even if we do sign another big target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I just like to point out that this is the pre-season for the 2008/09 season....2007/08 has nothing to do with the here and now. I'm all for being surportive and optomistic but just pinning your hopes and what has gone on before is a little thin..in my view. Sure we need a striker...no prizes..but it is the continual lack of chances being created for strikers (whoever they may be are to miss)..is the real problem. It is what cost us until the last four games...it cost us after the midfield re-hash at Wembley and it thus far is proving to be a problem. At the risk of sounding like a cracked record a creative central midfield partnership with Elliott is a big piece of the jigsaw that is missing. Sigh.......... My point being that pre-season is not an indicator of how well or badly you'll do during the season. Why don't people "get" that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't people "get" that point? Agreed that is why my posts have focused on reports of how City have played in general and not just results. If we all knew that we would all be down Corals loading up. My only issue is that...last season was a fantastic achievement...no question...but it highlighted a number of weaknesses or arears for improvement. Not just my view but from the man at the top. I don't doubt all concerned are trying very hard to sort out the necessary...but I am concerned that whilst focus appears ( I say appears) that all the energy has been wasted on a couple of deals with suspect characters. I agree totally with GJs stance by the way...just think that the plug on the Egypt deal should have been pulled much sooner. But one issue will not go away is that a very capable midfielder has gone but is yet to be replaced...I say yet becuase there is obviously still time. Fingers crossed.

Tunley Legend Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 1-1 Adebola brought down, Plummer scores a nice penalty. On top now.

Not true Mr Jimmy there is value to be found backing the underdog in certain pre season friendlies, but granted as singles not accumulators.

BCAGFC Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 By all accounts the City defence were terrible in the first half getting beat time and time again and only Weale saved them from a 3-0 or 4-0 half time deficit. Ribeiro was probably the best of a poor bunch of defenders in the first half, Williams was steady but nothing spectacular, the other midfielders were just not at the races. Brooker tried hard (as he always does), Trundle was completely and absolutely useless. 2nd half was much better, especially up front with Adebola and Myrie-Williams (could have been Plummer, my source couldn't tell from afar). So all in all ANOTHER average workout at best, desperately lacking a cutting edge and some midfield players to CREATE, I don't think the striker situation is the only problem we have. Last thing, could anyone confirm that GJ was at the game as my mate couldn't see him. A VERY disallusioned BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
