I hope Cole doesnt read this forum and have his confidence shattered.Skuse does indeed read this forum and, for what it's worth, he could learn alot from the comments on here. Granted, a few of them have been uncalled for but at the end of the day everyone wants to see him do well and progress as a player with us. He's a very good reader of the game but needs to be a bit stronger in the tackle for me to become a midfield legend like Tommy Doc was IMHO.Does that make me a doubter?

Sorry I know he has a lot of fan on here but not meDoherty was a quality player, nobody can deny that. The partnership he had with Tinnion was the best in my living memory of following City. He only became a liability towards the end of his BCFC career.Besides, my original point was that if Skuse got more physical in the tackle, he would become a similar City legend as the Doc, if not a bigger one because potentially he is a better player.

gazza1982 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Is the norm for our fans to pick on at least one player at any one time, almost every player in the team suffers from it, it's all very fickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman Block B Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Skuse has so much ability, yet has only shown it to 75% in some matches.I reckon the lad could turn out to be a legend.........but with Bristol City?Not so sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephjnr Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Skuse has the nerve but his body lets him down sometimes- a little more meat on him and he could have a little more oomph in his tackles and he'd be able to hold the ball up better. Mind you, his tackles right now are a thing of mischievous beauty if he carries them out with 100% concentration...I'd say I was a half-doubter.

dezgimed Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Depends what you mean by 'doubt'.I doubt he'll score many goals, or make an impact on a game as a sub, or create any chances.However I do think he'll do ok running round like a madman when we're a goal up with 10 mins to go.

One Team Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 By all means add me to the Skuse doubters list - I've been one ever since he pulled on a City shirt!I'll also eat humble pie if you're right!:-)Can we start a similar thread for Brooker?;-)One Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that Tin.He's fitter and more athletic than Tommy D but does need to get his foot in more and better than he does. Tommy D would frighten opposition players with his physical presence on the pitch - I don't think Cole has the same effect and that's what he has to improve. At the moment he's too lightweight for CCC or premiership but I'm more than happy for him to prove me wrong. PPerhaps now having a direct competitor for his position will cause him to raise his game this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is with players like Gow, Tommy and Hunter too, it`s a mindset. You`ve either got or you havn`t. It`s not something you can coach into a player.PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've followed City since 1992 so wasn't fortunate enough to have seen Gerry Gow which is a shame because I love those sort of players.How do you kmow Cole reads this forum? tell me you haven't asked him.....!Nope, I haven't asked him. Only met him once when he sat with me and Walshy watching the reserves at Clevedon a few seasons ago. I know he reads this forum quite alot because I'm good friends with PhatWill and he knows the Skuse family well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kit Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Add me to the list of doubters.Last night he didn't disappoint again. Had two stabs at a shot on goal, both pathetic and show that he has no actual technique to hit the ball with any power at all. The second time he gives the ball to the opposition player and the first thing he does is re-arrange his socks and then meander back as the opposition are on the attack. That is typical Skuse and I can remember a fair few goals that have been let in from similar scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
