Seeing this will make the Blue Few must be green with envy. They're probably wondering why their incredibly wealthy owner can't afford to erect such a magnificent edifice for them, thereby doubling their ground's capacity. But what's the point? They'd never fill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I'm feeling incredibly optimistic and positive about the coming season. It's very rare as a Bristol City fan to feel like this going into the season and when I do feel like this, we usually go on to have a very good season. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrorie CB as you say too. Suddenly the squad looks extremely well stocked. Nothing against Callum Wood, but Raph Araoye is miles ahead. I think we will see Wood transition into a LB. Knight-Lebel really composed too…then again he has been pretty much every time I’ve see him 1 hour ago, Betty Swallocks said: What are they feeding them in the academy? Campbell-Slowey & Meerholz look absolute units. My first look at both. JCS I thought was left footed so interesting to see him RCB2, and looked comfy on either foot. Meerholz looks like James Morton, but with legs. Keen to see both again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a very good frame to be strong but agile. A nice balance of aggression and nous. He looks the business to me but obvs needs loads more gametime to learn and be tested.

City have played at pace and chased and harried relentlessly. The good thing about that is that seeing as the opponents have been weak, the players still get a good work put just by putting a shift in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Results look great but am I right we played Swindons Youth team for at least 30 mins when the goals were rolling in and Oxford reserves today? Surely not the best prep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U18 side, only Idehen (I think) over age. Have to wait for the report to confirm, a mate went said it was all young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I’m going to big him up, a big, big prospect. Probably one first teamer injury away from playing. I think we could see some exciting young players on the bench this season. The number of talented youngsters is beginning to frighten me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not the best prep If you watch the games, we are playing with great intensity & pace. If you get those right the standard of opposition isn’t overly important. It’s that and getting fitness levels up, which also look great. A step up in level this week will get us ready for two weeks time. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Can’t get particularly optimistic playing these kinds of teams. Worrying for me that we aren’t playing anyone above league 1 level before the start of the season. Not that results against higher opposition mean that much but it’s more to get us to the level required. I do like Pearson and I’m hopeful of a top 10 but I do wonder how good our prep will turn out. Hope to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redpole Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) How did Knight-Lebel perform in the second game? I only watched the first game before I went out. I assume he’s ahead of Wood but is he ahead of Araoye???? Does the performance of our young CB’s mean we won’t look in the market for a new CB??? Maybe look towards end of window if we do.

I thought he was safe. Perhaps overly so going back to keeper quite quickly often. That said probably keeping it simple trying not to make mistakes in his chance. Can’t recall seeing anything worrying. Gut feel he’ll need some minutes at a lower level like Towler did in his early days just to get used to the physicality.
