Sixtyseconds Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think somebody just compared Bristol City to Man Utd or Liverpool or Lazio or Roma. Ciders ran amok between the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Bryans unusual heading ability is the result of his mindset. His strength likewise. That ability, and that is what it is takes sacrifice. The player has taken his inherited talent + learned skills x mentality to reach the Premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t comparing at all fella.. just trying to correct the person on this thread that says we are a tinpot/provincial fanbase because we are not jumping for joy at former players leaving and especially leaving to what would many call our main rivals..

Though yet again yesterday his poor reading of the defensive game and his woeful positioning meant any heading ability he might have was null and void. Unless he's a 5 foot neck to extend the bloke nearer the ball will ever win out and no amount of strength and fitness training will result otherwise. Or perhaps his mindset leads him to believe he has the beating of opponents, when by his own admission he realises at the top level he doesn't. I'd much rather see him competing for 50:50 headers in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bristolcity Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Joe gets in plenty of good crosses, that is his biggest asset to Fulham I reckon, defensively he is a liability, good wb poor fb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, not I , reference cardio. So other than fitness what else has Joe learned there, tactics, footballing nuance? 'Growth mindset', what's that when it's at home? If you were suggesting he kept himself in top shape and worked toward his fitness goals you'd be right. But student? Was he reading books to pass the time when on the treadmill? If so they weren't coaching manuals on how to defend. Point I made was that his footballing nous, his mindset if you will at knowing how to outsmart his opponent, certainly didn't develop pumping iron or bouncing medicine balls. The fact he thinks one can switch off in The Championship - student, growth mindset? I'd rather a full back on the lash who knows how to defend.

Whale Eye Beef Hooked Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 It’s so embarrassing when bitter people on here hope he gets relegated He got 7 million put into our bank , he gave his all and has a great attitude. I’ve dealt with him a year ago and he is a down to earth fella who couldn’t do enough for my cause. Fulham would have scouted him so they knew what they were getting .... a great professional, good going forward but has s tendency to switch off at the back That’s down to Fulham to coach him out of that. To be fair he also put s shift in playing wing back and it was probably a BIt if mental fatigue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's getting and staying fit to do with ability or mindset? Again everything. Fitness and ability are driven by mindset. Bristol City have had a lot of piss artists and … Because they did not have that growth mindset to make sacrifices and do more to progress they did not reach the level Bryan and Reid have.

Looks like at 17 seconds he may be thinking the CB is picking him up instead, realises he isn't when he moves for the other player and is then too late to react.
