onehowie Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Still find it puzzling that he can start for Ireland but not for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Cos we are shit but Ireland are shitter? He does deserve a run in the side though, not that he’ll get it with all the chopping and changing every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Ireland don't have better players. I'm not sure we do and that's really your point I assume. When things aren't going well this place does have a habit of looking towards the rest of the squad to provide the silver bullet with comments like "might as well give Eisa a go" but Johnson sees all these players in training every day so is best placed to decide who plays. That said and from my experience of watching them I would certainly play O'Dowda ahead of Patterson at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Isn’t it because of contract issues? LJ won’t play him because he won’t sign, and he won’t sign if he’s not getting games. Personally I would pick him as he adds pace and direct running, the contract issue should not matter, he’s under contract and we are paying his wages.

I really hope you’re wrong, because if you are correct then I hope we bin him off ASAP. I do NOT want a repeat of the Maynard debacle. If you don’t want to sign for us - bye - and shut the door behind you. We need to focus on players who believe in Bristol City and want to play for us - not someone who is holding us to ransom. Like I said I hope you’re wrong because I really rated him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Calum TBH - he had a spell last season but he does not seem to be growing as a player. I suspect he will be off in the summer but unlike @JoeAman08 I don't believe it will be to the PL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree with this. Since his injury he appears to have lost a little pace, looking slow and predictable. Perhaps bringing him back is something requiring time and to help confidence.

And Its Smith Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 He would help his cause if he was to produce something of note when he plays. Carries ball quite well at times but end product generally poor. Saying that I hope we keep him as potential is there. Can see in flashes but they need to become more consistent. Bit like Adam Lallana in that he also was nearly great and then it all clicked one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Don't get me wrong I don't think o' dowda is a superb player , he is better than Paterson as winger though so from that point of view he should be in the city side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear I don’t think he is PL quality just that with his work rate, reputation with Ireland and his young age that a “bigger fish” is likely to take the chance. We will see though!

Shtanley Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 He's been poor for a while. One of the LJ signings I was most excited about but currently he's in the group with the other disappointing signings that LJ has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no fan of Paterson but i would say he’s more likely to get a goal more so than O’dowda, being honest i would not care one bit if either of them left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a typically blinkered fan! Callum won’t be holding anyone to ransom. Why should he commit to a manager that doesn’t play him yet he’s a regular starter for Ireland. Players careers are short and COD has every right not to sign If he goes in Jan or summer, good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bailey Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Denmark were too strong and their possession must have been 70%. Callum was very defensive but to be fair he worked hard. Subbed at 80mins. 0-0 flattered Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Cal has not yet reproduced the form he was showing before his injury. He does need first team games to get back up to speed. He still has potential but needs to keep working on his end product. He has a house clise to the ground and is a nice lad. I think he is committed, but I guess his agent will drive any contractual decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
