Stats mean nothing - I’m relaying what I actually saw. ………. Sweetheart. As per your last post, you saw Paul Hartiey play for us in a season where he was romping round Celtic Park every other week and had never touched our kit. Excuse me if, even setting your personal prejudices over the Johnson’s aside, you’re not the most reliable witness. Or were you not only not able to hear on the Dolman that season, but you also couldn’t see the pitch? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that some opinions are well balanced, some are bang average, and some are just shit. Well they do say opinions are like arseholes.....everybody has one. A certain poster even expresses the former through the latter 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: Without being rude or critical, that probably sums up how you might watch a game…the focus on the end action, not what happened to get there. Thats not a problem, we all watch games differently, and there is no right or wrong way to watch a game. As much as there maybe was some nepotism between father and son, I still don’t think Gary would’ve picked his son as much as he did if it was detrimental. He might have had some blinkers on, it might’ve influenced how his teams played, but his players would’ve soon let him know if they thought Lee was shit and not worthy of his place. I’m very mixed on LJ, but as Silvio said, he was an integral part of a team that almost went up automatically. I don’t think a team like Bristol City at that time could carry any player. For all of us that like Cotts, you could draw a comparison with Wade Elliott in 15/16….we missed that player to do the simple stuff, to give and goes, keep the ball moving, etc. LJ did that. It is a player-type that most City / football fans under appreciate….yet so many pro managers have them in their teams. What does that tell us? Spot on post Dave and reflects my thoughts on LJ as a player, the role he played in that team that got to the play off final meant he was never a regular 8 or 9 out of ten stand out performer, but he kept possession very well and was extremely busy and hard working in the space between the final thirds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unlike, indeed, Skuse and later, Pack. The occasional Hollywood diagonal went astray, but not that often. At the time he got dogs abuse from many around me, which I didn’t understand. He wasn’t a star but he was a very dependable cog in the machine. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not aimed at you btw, just generally “net spend” is a poor metric for deriving success in the transfer market.

The players that I do remember clearly from that era are Marv, Noble, Hartley and the ever consistent Cole Skuse. Four excellent midfielders. To me LJ wasn’t near any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange, since in the playoff season in question he made 40 appearances- far more than Skuse. And as has been pointed out, Hartley wasn’t even at BCFC then. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
