Kolsch Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 The lad did brilliant today against the best player in the league. I find it strange that he’s somehow the new scapegoat. Leicester away Nige was praising the way he defended against players on tens of thousands a week. QPR he didn’t give Bryan a kick, Southampton he was arguably our best player and covered multiple positions, today he hardly gave Clarke anything in good areas. He is a defensive fullback who gives his all for city and clearly is a good professional. He is no Kyle Walker so why do people expect that? Ignore them all. Well done George. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanner is a decent Right Back defensively if you open your eyes, he's not great going forward which again most can see and some just spout rubbish on otib having made up their mind on one mistake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 I think people are doing Gary Neville an injustice here. One of the greatest full backs this country has produced. He used to bomb up and down, often to make space for Beckham, but could still make a good cross. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. We could have a top manager in charge, be getting 2.5 points per game and people would be claiming it’s not good enough when we draw that one game in every four!! The win yesterday was similar to a number delivered by the previous manager, who I fully backed, with the same players. We know we have a pair of bullshitting turds running it and their time will come but if that is going to affect your enjoyment of everything Bristol City find something else to do. If Tinnion claims that Cornick is as good as Messi if played correctly is anyone on here stupid enough to believe him? 12 minutes ago, Northern Red said: Who do you want, Trent Alexander-Arnold?

Such money was denied the previous manager to a great extent. The new man will possibly be allocated funds but I suspect may have other positions targetted as priorities.

I do understand that and yes, Tanner is a trier but I do think he is very average and we do need to upgrade. Tbh, more of a concern is Prings form as he is nothing like the player of a year or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had players who would go through the motions. Tanner isnt one of them and to be fair I dont see anyone like that around the first team now (thanks Nige) I think hes at our level right now. Not a top champ side but has been invaluable for quite a while. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most money we’ve spent on a player is £1.75m on Knight…who quite frankly is a top player - he improves our mid-table / bang average team. As does Rob Dickie who we stole for £700k from QPR due to their financial circumstances and his contract situation. With McCrorie that was the budget done. On this basis it will take us 3-4 seasons to get the whole squad up to scratch. There’s your reality check when you find it all too easy to criticise an honest bunch of mainly average players. Some aren’t at that level, but that’s what squad building entails on a budget. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennieb Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 He's got the basics of a decent solid full back imo ,puts in a good block and Has got a decent stong tackle on him ,yes there are bits missing but with decent coaching you could see a player there who could end up banging in a lot of appearances . I sit in the south and tbh there are some people pretty negative about him most weeks so you can't please everyone I suppose . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
