bcfc01 Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Stand outs for me today; Dickie - didn't put a foot wrong and I liked the forward passes to feet around the half way line, a lot more comfortable on the ball than I imagined. Bell - two excellent finishes Scott - could/should have scored at least three but got himself forward a lot more than I've seen before Conway - four goals and frightened the life out of them I liked the Pring and Mehmeti link up and I thought Roberts looked good. Nice to see Williams get around the pitch, even if his passing was a bit rusty, I hope his injuries are finally behind him. Bajic very comfortable with the ball at his feet, but had little to do really. I thought McCrorie played within himself, more to come from him I think. Swindon obviously have no depth to their squad, but they played well in the first period and at times looked the better team, but that was their 4th pre-season game so they're a bit ahead of City in terms of match fitness. Good competitive work out. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he showed up well for them. Would imagine it was more than a trial for him, but like the Joe Low scenario. Is this some sort of a rap? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how good he is with both his feet and his head in front of goal, this could well be a nice little earner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 1 hour ago, GrahamC said: First game it was just Sam Pearson. Second game Knight-Lebel, Idehen, Taylor-Clarke & Seb P-H. You can only have a maximum of 2 players on loan from one club but if Swindon are interested you’d think any 2 of those 5 could start this season with them. You can add Yeboah who i'm pretty sure played the second half for Swindon today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding loans to Swindon, I wouldn't do it based on the experience that their fans will jump on any mistakes a City loanee makes,and I'm referencing both Kadji and Jonny Smith. They have to hide their jealousy because we don't even acknowledge them as a rival but it soon comes to the fore on any little failing City show/have, which is probably not conjusive to a player in his first taste of pro-level football. Love it . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite part of those highlights was watching the players trudge back to the half way line for a good 20 seconds after a goal, just for it to cut to the next highlight immediately after kick off. Seamless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, BCFC Rich said: Highlights - Didn't see it in the thread. Thanks for that. Some very good goals there - yes it's Swindon, and yes it's possibly not their first 11, and yes it's a friendly. However, some of the build up play and passes were very good, especially considering that this is only our 2nd(?) friendly (happy to be corrected- have ofsted in at school and my brains fried!) I'll go on record now and say that if we can keep Scott (unlikely admittedly) and both he and Conway stay relatively injury free, we are going to do fairly well this season. Those couple from Bell were also not bad goals either. The Wells factor (especially with Conway and Bell) is really starting to show why he was kept on when some were happy for him to go. Add Jason Euell in as well, and I think we'll be OK for strikers for a few years... Edited July 18, 2023 by Taz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Decent piece on Scott and his greater attempts on goal Tuesday. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/alex-scott-bristol-city-8613427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
