He was the weakest link in the games against Wolves and QPR and if Johnson was competent he would have subbed him, but when Josh gets his attacking game going he can be a right handful. 1 hour ago, LeeCity said: Weakest link ? Either you're saying this to show your dislike of LJ or you didnt go to those games. (Or you don't know what you're talking about) Certainly not the way I saw either of those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should always put your reports in their own thread so they don't get missed. Isn't the new Bristol Post guy terrible? I know Stockhausen wasn't perfect, and he certainly had his critics, but at least some of what he wrote was worth reading. There's absolutely no point in going into their site anymore. It can only be a matter of time before they shut down completely imo if that's the quality of journalism they're peddling these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Or you don't know what you're talking about) He's generally fine going forwards but I think he's a player in Lj's own mould in that he tends to back off when called on to defend. In the second half of those games, the visitors pressed hard and JB was allowing them far too much uncontested possession. Because he is a very active runner, he was also pretty tired come the end of the game, and I felt he was an obvious player to sub because of that. Hope that answers your question, Mr expert.

Hopefully with new, strong back-up now that Wilbraham has probably played in his last game for us and Engvall getting a summer transfer back to Sweden (my conjecture!) dear lord, if that's the case we'll be fked - fine as back up but how about we replace the bloke who scored 20 goals for us last season first. Then replace Tammy. Djuric and taylor will barely get double figures between them at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need two in,I'd say one quality loan plus one signing as i cant see much value coming from Engvall (if any),and wouldn't be surprised to never see him in a City shirt again at first team level.

I didn't say okay. But I don't think Djuric was brought in to keep the bench warm and to date he seems to have played his best with Taylor (the Rotherham season saving goal) and Abraham. If we have a summer like 15/16 there might not be many new options for August. Are we an attractive Championship club after two seasons of near relegation? As for McCoulsky, I would love to see him make the jump to first team. Afterall, Fulham seen to be doing okay with a 16 year old. But I think our lad is going to need a loan to a football league club before we know if he's the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there's no guarantee we're going to sign a 20+ goals per season striker every summer. After paying medium money for Tomlin, I don't think we'll be shelling out £10M for a proven Championship striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I`d like to think lads like Jonny Smith and De Girolamo will be somewhere near the first team too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stemming back to the 'bad run' i feel you are still a little tainted and the fact that BRFC were useless as were Wigna, has something morew to do with how well we played. The 31 pass move/goal would make any team , even Brighton look ordinary so i think a little more credit is due. Anyway it was a decent point and again LJ got the overall tactics far more right than Mowbray; Which makes me laugh. Back in Janusary there were numpties wanting LJ out and suggesting Hollowhead, Mobwray, Zola, etc for replacements. LJ has better records than all and is starting to show his experience from a difficult season is being learned from and his masters (MA and SL) will continue to bak hi, the club and set us up for a decent season starting August. It is remarkable to think that one better strike at Ewood would have put us fans on the beach / holiday - something no-one on here predicted 2 months ago WELL DONE Lee See you all at Ashton to get that one last magic win Johnson has better records than Holloway , Mowbray ? what the same Holloway / Mowbray who have a few promotions to Premier League between them ??? You certainly should laugh , at what drivel you come out with ... doh WUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
