JammyOne Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I can understand signing Anderson, although I can't understand him not playing. Morris was a bum signing for sure. The bloke isn't very good and doesn't contribute anything to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Reminds me of what Millen did with Killa, Bolasie, Taylor, Pitman etc. Seems very strange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night84 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 This has to be my biggest bug bear at this club. Constantly signing players that can't keep Skuse, Elliot and Fonts out of the team. No disrespect to those players but we never improve the heart of the team. Only Paul Hartley was able to dislodge them and we all saw what quality he brought to the team. How many Centre midfielders have come, gone or sit on the bench.

Surely worth a try...I give up For me I would rather the likes of Reid, Bryan, Edwards etc are given a try rather than clog the squad up with players we don't need!? I am no expert but all seems a little pointless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 As for Anderson ...how bad can the guy be? Surely worth a try...I give up He's looked handy every time I've seen him play. He can't get into the side though as Pearson is an 'undroppable' and the only way to play him in side featuring Marv/Kilkenny/Danns/Albert is to play him on the wing. As for Morris. A classic case of signing your mate, I fear. I'd rip up his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm not defending the fact that Morris should have been signed or not, but I thought he was injured at the moment? if so that makes the debate slightly different doesn't it.

marcofisher Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I was absolutely flabbergasted that Pearson stayed on the pitch, It was clear he is too slow and too much of a donkey to play on the wing, how are we meant to win matches at home with basically one attacking winger(Adomah) and a striker, with he other winger defending the full back? Anderson and Adomah would be such a dangerous combination aswell I feel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I understand the Anderson signing, Morris is a good player for the SPL, but not the Championship. I think he just signed him as cover and looks like Reid is keeping him out of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Morris is alleged to be in professional recovery from a short term hamstring injury. So is Matthew Bates who took the field at Brighton on Tuesday and again yesterday.

Guest The Realist Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Paul Anderson is a very good footballer, why he isn't playing more and getting decent game time is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBS14 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I will say this for Morris, hes very good on twitter - if the guy put as much effort and has as much ability in tweeting as he does his football then we have no problems !! he doesnt shut up, generally banging on about music - As for Anderson, the reserve games i have seen he has played very well, him and reid have always been exceptional, i have no idea why he doesnt get a look in.

Swede Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Two strange signings for me. Its as though we were offered them by agents rather than going out to get them. After all how many times have we heard from the club "any new signings must be better than what we have already" Anderson better than Bolasie? I think not. Morris better than??? Cisse?? I think not. I am struggling to find a far worse signing than that joker Morris (cue the start of a new thread) who is taking the piss out of anybody connected to this club of ours by getting paid a large sum of money under the false pretense of being a championship footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Anderson better than Bolasie? I think not. I'm not sure how you can conclude that - we haven't seen enough of him. And anyway Bolassie was being kept out of the side by Woolford and he requested a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Nuff said. To be fair, few tears were cried when he departed. He looked very raw - and his main achievement over the last season was to run full-pelt, head-on into various opposing players. Few saw his potential under a good coach. And it has to be said, if you recall Woolford's performances early season, when he had Cunningham linking up with him, he looked very good. Scroll back to August's threads on here and see how many voices were calling for Wooly to be dropped for Bolassie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rag Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 We all know our deficiencies and have done for many a season, quite how we have shiped out crap only to aquire more crap and more remarkably fail to address our central defensive failings is just simply criminal. We had a great oportunity this year with 8 or 9 palyers out of contract to slim the squad and replace with better quality in an area we have been weak for many a year. Do we take advantage, NO, we fill the bench and beyond with high earners and then complain the likes of Bikey was making excessive wage demands, Morris, Anderson, Baldock = proberbly twice the wage demands of Bikey. Do we need Morris, Anderson, Baldock, NO,Do we need a decent Centre Back in the mould of Bikey, Yes we bl00dy well do. We have fu-ked up big time, which will cost us our championship status. Who is responsible Del or has his hands been tied, either way Back Water Bristol City has lived up to glorious history of failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said on an earlier thread in all his time here Woolford has probably put in 4 good performances pretty much all this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
