ronsco Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 With all the injuries we have at the moment does anyone know where Gustav Engval is ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted December 28, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 @ronsco Due to the fact he was on loan in another European league is not able to play for us again until the New Year, I would guess it becomes available for the Villa game?

ashton_fan Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I imagine he'll be nailed-on to start at Watford and may be on the bench before then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 He's back in Bristol after a few days in Sweden for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Available as the window opens, I would have thought sure to play Vs Watford unless they have another loan or even sell on planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 The bottom picture (with Joe in it) I think is a good indication of how Djúric and Magnússon have helped Pisano settle. They all speak Italian, although both Milan and Hörður speak very decent English. I think Cauley Woodrow (behind, Left) was hoping to improve his English by being around them. Gustav has not been back long (and gone to Sweden for Xmas), but said he’s been helping Niklas Eliasson settle. Eliasson’s English is the pick of the bunch, he sounds more American, you’d be hard-pushed to guess he’s Swedish. He mixed with Reid and Leko in the video games room.

I think I've heard before that a lot of Scaninavians have an American accent when they speak English because they watch a lot of the American tv shows and films. The standard of English speaking over there is actually very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 What is the rule for playing with different teams in a season? He played some minutes with us before he went back out on loan. Can he go on loan again? Think he should stick around to be honest. He could easily push Matty Taylor and Cauley Woodrow down the pecking order if he worked hard enough. We just gained two extra fixtures in January and he should play against Watford. He has a chance to get some minutes imo and if ever does make it here he will have to stay and learn our style. Then have a whole summer with us. Make or break 9 months with us in Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Come on Gustav, we're all behind you, kick on now and show everyone why we signed you in the first place. I'd absolutely love him to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Hull game last season he chased every single ball played for him, keeping a few in that looked certain to go out for throw ins or goal kicks so I find him having a poor work rate hard to believe too.

I have been watching quite a few games (some crap team called Djurgårdens IF) just to specifically follow Gustav on the pitch and he hardly need to shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a key part of our team ethos. We press from the front in the way BR does, and unless LJ thinks he can coach it then it doesn't make sense. We can't afford passengers.

To be fair, Eliasson wasn't a hard worker defensively, this was acknowledged by LJ and it was something they said they'd specifically work on with him. But he was signed anyway because he was identified as being exceptional in other areas. Unfortunately we've only seen glimpses of Eliasson playing well, hopefully his consistency will come as he gets more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah actually, forgot that, although I'd say for our pressing game, the striker is far more important than our wide players. It looks like theres a player somewhere in Eliasson, hopefully theres one in Gus too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'd love nothing more than Gus being a success here. With our injury situation he'll get his chance in January. It's up to him whether he takes it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
