Mr Popodopolous Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 (edited) 50 isn't too bad, he missed 2-3 months. Penalties? We don't get many remember. Wells also scored one of our two League penalties in 2020-21. Other was missed, I think we got 2 or was it 3. He would've scored some penalties sure. He also got a 6 game ban for allegedly spitting at an opponent if we recall...However He did frequently detract from our play which we hit upon Paterson behind Reid when we had all the injuries yes.

Oh Louie louie Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Lee peacock another Man who got fifty, and in his last few months wasn't interested. He got a Porsche for doing so and the other guy a house up knowle, what a contrast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Just checked. 4 penalties out of 50 goals..there are a lot of things he can be accused of but padding stats via penalties isn't one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fam sort of switched off when he knew his future wasn't here and cruised to the end of his time here, but at least he didn't badmouth the club and slander fans like Maynard. We got decent service out of him for three-and-a-half seasons, I bear him no ill will. As an African, there's no reason why he should buy into the Bristol/Cardiff rivalry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I know that other fans boo their former players when they return to their old club but why? To me it’s just an immature few that think it’s ‘clever’. Famara did a decent enough job for us as did O’Dowda. Both gave their all and never let the team down. Neither deserve a hostile reaction.

"No one whatsoever" has witnessed a great deal of terrible Lansdown shenanigans on these very pages. But getting back to my earlier point- there have been a number of good players at BCFC who have refused to sign, wound down their contract, only to take a career nose dive . The likes of Carey and Murray made a better choice when discovering the greener grass was harder to mow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray made 40 appearances for a promotion-bound side, but Coppell next season didn't want him. Louis made 27 appearances for Coventry, then a league above us, swerved the Tinnion managerial car-crash but then returned to a revitalised Gary Johnson side that got promoted. I'd say both made reasonable career choices there and both went on to enjoy lengthy and successful times at City after deciding to return. Which incidentally disproves all those posters who say "never go back" when talking about players or managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Carey going on to be the all time BCFC player and Scotty being the legend he is and employed forever makes for a very very good decision in coming back. The point being is that the likes of Fam etc perhaps would have had a better career by staying as opposed to chasing a bigger pay cheque. Then again, Scott and Webster and a few others may well disagree!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Scott and Webster and a few others may well disagree!! I think Fam would've stayed - or at least he claims he would - but the club had to do a radical Post-Covid reduction in playing costs. I remember his last games where he seemed very disgruntled and hardly put in an effort up field. Thing is. he may not have attacked much in his last season, was still a better defender than most of those we employed to fulfill that role.

Bryan scored both goals in Fulham's play off win v Brentford and then went on to play in the Premier League. I think he's furthered his career. Massengo got a move to a Premier League club & despite not playing, its down to him to prove himself. Maynard got his move to West Ham, got promoted with Cardiff so I think he furthered his career also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 The sad truth is that, whilst I really rated him at one point when he played for us, I am utterly indifferent to his return. I’m not sad or upset that he is playing for Cardiff, I’m not even angry that he downed tools for five months as I don’t know the wider circumstances, what he was told and what happened behind the scenes. But those five months of disinterested performances have left me with complete apathy. I don’t care that he plays for Cardiff, he’ll just be another player on Saturday and I have absolutely no interest in his career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 We've had much better forward's over the years - Bob Taylor, Cole, Allison, Agostino, Goater, Akinbiyi, Lita, Maynard, Stead, JET, Wilbraham, Tammy, Kodjia even Weimann in 2021/22. I don't think Fam is fit to lace any of those players' boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago I was in Yorkshire, few years ago bow and tuned into one of the BBC Local Radio Stations. Leeds v Aston Villa on a Sunday lunchtime in the Championship, 12pm or similar? Hell of a noise. It's a slot I hate but it has been around since the PL at minimum. I wonder if it inhibits all clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
