westonred Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm not just starting a post just to have a go at the Gas but the Gulf in Class was there for all to see today. Everyone of our subs would have easily got in their starting line up today, it makes you laugh when even our 7th Sub of the day is a Welsh international that says is all really. It shows how far our Club has come in recent years but let's not get too carried away because we played against a very poor side today, in fact i would go as far as to say the poorest side i have seen at the Gate for 4 or 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Quite literally leagues apart. Mr McGhee needs to find a midfield before the season starts, although given their style of play, they may not need one. Less said about fatty mcpiemuncher at the back for them the better.

pride of the west Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I thought half their squad was overweight. I thought mcghee was suposed to run teams ragged in preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Village Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I was amazed at how unfit several of their players looked. Poor team they really were. And for all their bluster about being such ardent passionate fans - they were shite too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 The guy the jock said was too good for us! Maybe he meant Bristol RFU, the guy is not built for football in this day and age, carrying that much weight he's only going to keep getting injuries. Agree on their squad as a whole, portly pretty much to a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetrundlesrightfoot Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 agree with all this, but also think we looked very fit. pearson and skuse were tireless and as a whole we looked very organised, yes, as said, against a very poor team. corners still an issue tho!!!

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Only player i thought was half decent for them was Harrold up front. When they smacked the ball into him he held it up really well and tried to bring others into it. As for Kenneth, i said earlier in the week that the sags at the Paulton Rovers game in midweek said he wouldn't get into the Railway 2nd X1 sunday team. I can see what they meant now!!

Gazred Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Their centre half was 23 stone and shit I'd be disgusted if we ever signed a player in that shape. He looks like a Downs league player. Have a look at his size when he played in Scotland a couple of years back. Bloke must be 2-3 stone heavier easily. I mean Jon Parkin is big, but effective, this bloke is just out of shape. No wonder The Pie Factory couldn't cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't go today but listened instead on Radio Bristol. They were saying that Cunningham in particular seemed to be having difficulty with corners and put it down to the layout of the pitch - having to start on asphelt, step up on the grass and then hit the all quickly. If you're only used to taking corners with a long, flat run up then I can see that AG could give you a problem. Nothing that can't be cured by practice of course. Was reckon?

I can sort of see that the change in surface isn't ideal but the opposition (in general I mean, not today's) usually seem to manage it better than us.

Yea, i hope this was the reason as his corners were awful. With the quality he showed i cant see his corners being that poor without a cause.

kachina Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 We were different gear today. Must say I thought their keeper made a few good saves bar Woolford's goal he should have saved. Actually thought he looked a hald decent keeper who commanded his defence well despite seeing the ball go past him 3 times, he did make more than a few decent saves.

friendlygas Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Thought you were well better than us today but you definiytely need to get some strikers because you let us off the hook.Stead cannot hit a barn door and for Championship level looks really poor. We looked ,as I expected at least two weeks behind you in match fitness and I think it really showed that you have been playing a quality up on the opposition you have played. Good luck in the coming season you looked good today and should have a much better season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right about our strikers i think Stead will improve and he has always been more of a creator for others and chip in with 10 to 15 himself. Pitman just isnt interested in playing for BCFC thats was obvious again hopefully the Baldock deal will come off (god if he was playing today i dont know what the score would have been) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Of course theres a gulf class. The Gas are two divisions below us. Its nice to win a pre-season game but not essential. Its all about game time and fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rat Lover_89 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Is it just me or was about 3/4 of there players overweight by a long wait...... i was under the impression that he has ran those blue bastards ragged and they were all super fit, ummmmm no!! they were a shambles today, should of been about 6 or 7 not just 3....... but 3 will do!!

Well i should i say he never looks interested, never shows any urgency, never tackles back, always waits for the ball come to him rather than chase it. I feel he wants out, a move to Burnley under his old manager and Baldock and Hunt coming in would be best all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact his over eagerness to win the ball back on one occasion in the second half was near reminiscent of his challenge against Coventry. So that's bull. He won headers and was surprisingly good in the air against larger opposition. That said he should've bagged a brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They forget they were only 1-0 up up untill 79mins due to a keeper error" "We made more noise in the EastEnd then they have for a while" "City fans looking for trouble = Scum" "Listening to it on the radio I could only hear our fans TBH " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
