If he does come we should nickname him 'UB40': "I am the 1 in 10, a number on a list.." Note to WeeLee's scouting set-up - a striker is someone who knows where the back of the net is..... ....like Wilbraham did before he came here?

devoncider Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Diedhiou as the focal point of a three pronged attack with Weimann/Hakeeb/O'Dowda on the flanks could be very tasty indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Jr. Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Whatever it means in terms of formation, Paterson will have to step his game up in order to be in with a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real oddity for me is Pato in a 433. Ok, who have I missed! Odowda isn’t a Central midfielder mate... so you’d probably have Korey Pack and Brownhill in CM spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if O'Dowda ended up playing centrally. He has the skill and frame to succeed in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going on his most prominent position for us since he’s been here mate. I actually like him as an attacking CM. As you well know Dave pretty up to date with most stuff due to coaching.

We are giving our opinion as to where we might think COD might play this season, esoecislly with an influx of wingers (Adelukan and Watkins) and possibly Weimann who can play across the front-line. COD’s work ethic and technical abilities stand him out as someone who could convert to playing centrally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m being facetious!! I think there’s a good few on here who see him playing centrally rather than as a winger. Personally, I think he’s less of a winger these days and more a wide-midfielder, but that’s just words. Doesn’t really matter too much. I’ve seen some if the Phenoms, but not CODs. Will try and get it on catch-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is different from being out wide whereas as an AM you kind of get that free roam and licence to not defend. i just love when he gets full back 1v1. Feel he would lose a good part of his game coming centrally but would see more of the ball inside. His one is Creators quite interesting and imo one of the best programmes I’ve watched in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcdc Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 3 hours ago, Ivorguy said: As far as I can remember the only mid season signing we have made that gained us promotion in our final push was Arthur Milton in February 1955. We went up to the old second division that season and Milton duly retired from football. He was a stylish winger who was fast, direct, and an excellent crosser of the ball. I can see him still in my mind's eye hurtling down the wing. The best I have seen at Ashton Gate and our only winger, I think, to have had an England cap, although of course when he was playing for Arsenal. PS We paid £4000 for him in 1955! An investment well worth the cash! The thing people don't remember or acknowledge about Arthur Milton is that he went out with my Auntie Jeane before she married my Uncle Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read their forum, but others have reported more positive things. I think any player that comes from a club in this league will have his fans and detractors, look at how opinion is divided on our players on here.

handsofclay Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Ivorguy said: As far as I can check it was definitely £4000 paid. I think we expected him to continue with us. As Pongo88 says above we reclaimed £2000 from Arsenal because he retired. An excellent piece of work. For all who like a quiz:- was Barry Meyer the last person to play football in Bristol (for both clubs) and cricket for Glos? Will we ever again have such allrounders. I doubt it in the modern game. Was Botham the last to play professional football and cricket? It would seem more realistic that we got half the money back. So in 1955 we shelled out the equivalent of 400K for a winger who helped our promotion push for a few months and Arsenal returned 200K of that. In 2018 we shelled out 300K for a winger not to play for us as he hampered our promotion push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Some negative comments on the Derby forum don’t bother me. A players performance at one club can bear no relation to what he does elsewhere. In the few games he played Bolassie never uprooted any trees at City but looked. World beater at Palace. John Akinde scores zero for the Gas but shed loads at Barnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
