Not so much that he has obviously joined us from a bigger club but that our direct competitors (Ipswich, Stoke, Coventry ilk of club) either weren't interested or we've beaten them to it Not sure why this is so surprising. I think we're a little bit too self-deprecating at times - we're not the "little Bristol City" that some seem to think we are Granted, Derby are a slightly bigger club than us, but they finished 7th in L1 last season, so no surprise we can take their players off them (appreciate you said this didn't surprise you, CiderCity). I don't see anything remotely surprising about us beating Ipswich, Stoke, or Coventry to a signing, and I don't think anyone else in the Championship would be surprised about that either. We supposedly beat West Brom and Norwich to the signing of McCrorie too. These days, it's only the parachute payment teams that I see us as struggling to compete with for signings. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s remember we are going into our ninth consecutive season at this level, everything at the football club is setup for the Premier League and we have a manager who has been there and done it at this level. Having navigated away from most of our financial issues we have gone from a bit of a basket case to a club that now appear to be on the up again. I certainly think we look an attractive proposition to new players hence the good business we have done so far this window. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Magicdaps Posted July 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I've said it before, but I'll say it again, if another CH team had done the same business that we have thus far, then we'd quite rightly be fairly envious. It guarantees nothing of course, but the profile of players we're signing (and releasing, not re-signing, selling etc.) gives us half a chance of looking up rather than down this season. My personal expectations/hopes are that we'll threaten the play offs in a serious way this season, not necessarily cement ourselves or gurantee our inclusion, but be in serious contention. I also loved the NP comment about surprising everyone this season, or words to that effect. Progression is the key factor me, not impatience. Patience is possibly the rarest of commodities in football, but if anyone can't see the progression and evolution of our squad/club/team then god help them (and I'm not even vaguely religious) We're a club of improving health, largely thanks, in my view, to the job that Nige has done/is doing. 56 1 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I think it's a lot to do with Pearson he's a good draw.

RedEyez Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 10 hours ago, Spike said: I'd say with no more in's and outs I think this is more how the squad would be seen by Pearson with Naismith also playing in the midfield should Taylor-Clark not yet meet the level expected from him by Pearson. I mean sure we could sign another CB and then we'd have Naismith as cover in the middle but looking at how many names we have who will want game time and the strength we have in-depth I'd say we're pretty set for the next season. All of a sudden we have a squad full of options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make a steal of a signing and people are more concerned about the state of a collar on a shirt. Since when did Bristol become such a capital of sartorial taste. It probably all started with that 19th century phrase "Shipshape and Bristol Fashion" Hopefully, that collar suggests that Knight is going take games by the scruff of the neck. We needed a dominant, aggressive enforcer in midfield, for others to follow. Might well be time for Jason and the Aggro-nauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Ah. So it WAS a deliberate act to create a shirt with a massive oversized collar and neck for the KnightFever promo.
