havanatopia Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 All Moaners, with no reason to moan other than being, by nature, a moaner, should be made to pay Shedman to watch a City match after the South Stand has gone up. Shedman should make a few bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 So Adam El-Abd is no longer the scape goat? Nor Flint or Fielding? Jet is trim and working hard? Cotts doesn't play hoofball? We're top of the league and the only unbeaten side in three divisions? the pikey gas are in Conference? FFS This season is really messing with my head But what if, like Bobby Ewing in Dallas, you wake up in the shower and realise it was all a dream and never really happened?

Robin1988 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 It seems to me that we are having such a good season that people have nothing to get worked up about so are getting worked up about nothing.. This is true. But it is pretty childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Just to go off on a different tack. Two of the great challenges a manager can have is the player who's been a rock at another club and has a nightmare start at his new one, and the class player who doesn't seem to fit. Cotterill seems to be handling both of those very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Do you really believe this? This "El-Bad" stuff is pathetic and anyone using it clearly isn't doing so wanting him to the player we saw for Brighton. TBF we were all calling him that after some el-Bad performances last season. Perhaps it IS time to retire the nickname however. El-Fab now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I. call him 'El Bad ' in hommage at his hard man image and i suspect if he knows his nickname is El Bad that would make him smile . Hmmm- I think it might actually make him a tad El Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterStyvarsRightFoot Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Main reason I've heard why he had a bad start was , he was alone a lot of the time and now he has his family hear and gets along with his team mates he seems a different man... Also he possibly has the best chant out of our entire squad ( off topic but catchy!!) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_tupPBtWQ Ps any player of taking the number 6 from our all time appearance maker is worthy of a chance in honesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southvillekiddy Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 of course we all hope that whatever pyscho-psyomatic thingamajig that happened when Adam first joined us is well in the past. He always comes across as being an intelligent individual. He's sat on the bench for 15-odd games. Must have done wonders to sort out his thingamajig. Fair play to him and fair play to Cotts for standing by him Good luck for the future Adam (got to say El Bad is a brilliant handle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Didn't settle last season but also wasn't given a chance by the Ashton Gate 'faithful' which would knock anyone's confidence. He clearly is a very good player at this level and has showed that in the limited game-time he has had this season. His time will arrive when he will have an extended run in the team and he will prove what an asset he is. He would walk into any other side in this league.

Was never going to be easy for him joining a struggling side in a formation which he wasn't used to, add to that he had been at Brighton for well over 10 years. He will come good this season (Already has in his brief game time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Well said I was keen to know if he has improved as I want him to be a strong standby centre back; also keen to know what's going on with Osborne for the same reason Cotts said before the game that Osborne hadn't trained all week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His time will arrive when he will have an extended run in the team and he will prove what an asset he is. He would walk into any other side in this league. Before the Adam love in goes one step too far and in the interest of balance and to keep a grip on reality- Last season Adam was truly awful, a liability and looked like he was going to cause us real problems with his wholly unnecessary winding up of the opposition. He looked slow, totally uncomfortable and regularly played us into trouble. It is not fair to say he wasn't given a chance by the fans, he was dropped and rightly so and the team was all the better for this.He showed very little to suggest he would be an asset to this team. This season, if he gets back in the first team for whatever reason, he will be given great support as would any player in our squad because SC is doing such a great job of turning players around and because we are doing so well. Adam may have had personal problems, settling in problems, adapting problems but lets not pretend that his nick name was unwarranted. But he also deserves the same chance to prove himself as Flint has. However,I hope he doesn't get his chance only because that would mean an injury or spectacular loss of form to another player who is currently a nailed on starter and has been an important part of getting us to the top and unbeaten this season.
