Chairman Mao Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Bristolian player of the year Joe Bryan was abject today. No fight whatsoever, like most of the season bar a couple of freak games. If he keeps going backwards at this rate he'll be on the downs. Wonder if Everton are still interested... Don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's alright, this is about as good as ot gets though. We will never kick on with such a bang average squad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Unfair to point him out. Most were quite poor and not up for it. Another nothing performance from Lee Tomlin and yet his name was sung again when he come on. Why? Im no BCFC historian but when you take into account the fee and wages probably the worst transfer in the history of the club. I've been a big Bailey Wright fan since he's been here but he was horrible today. Seems to not think about things before he does them half the time. Last straw was when he went straight through the back of Donaldson near the end of the game. Eased the pressure right up. Think today just sums the club up really. A chance to be ruthless and possibly relegate a team but we were soft and not up for a fight. Guarantee if roles were reversed they equalise and send us down.

BRISTOL86 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 He was woeful and is one of a number of players who need to be replaced with better if we want to avoid another season at the wrong end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ has made it clear how highly he thinks of him, an opinion that seems to be independent of actual performances. That is likely to make a player complacent imo as there is no incentive to improve if you know your place is pretty much guaranteed. There again BCFC has often been one big comfort zone.

grifty Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Its odd because last week, the divisions best player didn't get a sniff against him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3_RED Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I thought he was poor for most of the game and his shots were a joke. There is a reason he doesnt play up front , maybe its about time someone told him why. If he had squared the ball to Smith who was open and unmarked on the penalty spot in the fiest half instead of another shite shot I think we would have scored. The difference between players at different levels is consistency and though Joe might put an occasional good cross in or an occasional good shot, there is no consistency to it. We need to move him on and bring in better if we are to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Been a defender of him but as poor a performance as I've seen in a long time Looked like his mind was elsewhere In first half ball came to him twice whilst he wasn't even looking Was in front of me first half and had a mare - his positioning was as clueless from a full back as you'll ever see - Bailey Wright was constantly being dragged across to cover for him or help him leaving Flint exposed on his own centrally Awful Joe - I don't know what happened today but it looked like they'd given a competition winner a game Patterson a close second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what frustrates me most about Bryan. He has all the attributes to be such a good player but I'm not sure he has the mental strength, desire or courage. Absolutely gutless today and simply not good enough. Collectively very poor today but as has been the case almost every week Bryan was abysmal.

Red-Robbo Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 If Joe was Conference style today, Korey must have been Southern League.

AppyDAZE Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Superb last week, dire this. And unfortunately this sums the guy up. Clearly a talented bloke, but needs to come down a peg or two imho Woeful crossing not clearing the first defender, sloppy "look at me" risk taking in defence.. and just a general casual or over confident way about him.. just really gets on my tits at times. Please, someone at the club take him aside and tell him he will amount to nothing unless his attitude changes big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cloud Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Joe Bryan plays when he wants too, he's been like that all season, a shocking attitude for such a talented player! Personally, I'd get shot in the summer, he's not gonna change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more worrying is our beyond inept 'head coach' seems to to think he is. New left back (a proper one) needed this summer. Along with a new (proper) manager. Those crosses today do not seem to suggest he is much of a winger either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sorry his basic decision making or ability to cross a ball has nothing to do with where he plays on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - do you / others think that's a problem with him ? - attitude (Genuine Q) Watching him closely today and on other occasions he looks like a dazed bag of nerves , like a kid making his debut , which bearing in mind how many seasons he's been playing is ridiculous Actually gives the appearance he doesn't think he should be out there For an intelligent lad - his 'footballing intelligence' is shocking Weak in 'character' maybe ?

Definitely not alone. Where would you play him? I don't think he attacks well enough to be a winger. He couldn't find a cross in a church and I'm not sure I would want him further up field because it would give him more opportunities to blast the ball miles over the bar!! I think he's looked at his best in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
