Popular Post Bs4Red Posted January 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16 Looked excellent tonight, first 10/15 was a little rusty but partnership with Tanner looked great, forward thinking and drives with the ball. Can see him being a massive player for us. 33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) Thought on a few occasions he looked very rusty but boy did I like the positive intent! Not knocking George to be clear. Edited January 16 by steveybadger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Wasn’t supposed to be back until March so a testament to him and the medical team getting him back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Will have meant a lot to him tonight, his first start in a match since May or whatever, against a team in the top 6 of the Prem. A really challenging 6 months is over and he’s done really well. He’ll be on top of the world. Well in Ross ️ 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 When you take into account the nightmare time he’s had I thought he was very impressive tonight. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Really impressive home debut after soo long out this season. Excited to see how he progresses from here on in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Very assured and aggressive with the ball - you can see what he can bring to the team when fully up to speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I think it was a really sensible selection from Manning. It gave Tanner a defensive partner, but alas height and directness. I'm surprised we didn't see more crosses aimed at him at the back post. He did look rusty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Like the fact he gives us an aerial option on the right, especially from goal kicks. Certainly a competitor & adds to our squad depth. Couldn’t have picked a better night for his home debut & did well. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingHillRed Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Big tank of a lad, think he'll find his place at full back eventually but certainly liked what we saw and liked his interview on the radio after too, seems like he's been through the mill and ready to make amends 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Despite the rustiness it was clear to see he’s going to be a fans favourite. Moves very well with the ball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Thought he was great for a first start after a long time out. No coincidence that Tanner had his best game for ages. Lots of good talking too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkins1983 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Superb tonight, listened to his interview on bbc Bristol on the way home in the car and he says he’s still only at 80% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Sounded quite emotional in his interviews. Was almost like he wanted to just say “you honestly have no idea how hard it’s been” Hes going to be a huge asset, even just based on today’s 60. Pace, power, and glides with the ball. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Did really well in his first game,, big lad, like pring on the otherside. Im not sure theres going to be a lot of goal threat from them, but both strong powerful runners and pretty aggressive too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I had people on me laugh at me a few weeks ago when I said "we won't realise how much we've missed him untill he plays" hope you're having a good evening lads. 1 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecko Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Very good performance and seems to have a nasty, aggressive side to him. A very encouraging home debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Curious to see what happens with the team now he is back. I, like most, thought he would eventually replace Tanner, but I think we have looked far better going forward with 5 at the back in these two cup matches (Bell was also sharp at wing back first leg). I now think that we may stick with the back 5 and play both Tanner and McRorie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 A decent start. Looks like he's a talker and leader and obviously a strong physical type. All attributes that will make us better. And thanks to Jonathan Pearce for confirming what the actual problem was - a pelvic bone infection. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stortfordred Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Great first start for us. He’s been through it alright. Great interview too.

Whoosh! The reason for the laughter was you cannot miss something you've never had. It's like me saying I've missed sleeping with Natalie Portman. No one was doubting the impact McCrorie would have when he eventually played, but you carry on with the self congratulations. I had a great evening. Thanks. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great evening. Thanks. We did have him. We signed him in the summer. He then picked up this infection. I said "we will not realise how much we've missed him until he plays" Had he not got the infection then he would have obviously played. If you look back at games this season now. You can see where we have missed him. So yes it is possible to miss a player of ours not playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember it, posters were saying that having McCrorie available would be a good thing, your reply was as above, but suggesting that posters had no idea if he was any good or not. You mention Bristol Boy (Ian Gay) and where you do compare is your revisionism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
