Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol City (a) sponsored by hopeless causes

WestYorksRoyal Sounds like we're not actually playing too badly.

Correct, we've been well in this game, away to a Top6 side. Meite missed a big chance in 1st half. (Just as he did early vs. Fulham).
And now Puscas with the goal gaping...

Re: Worst start for many years.

Re: GOMES OUT!

I think one of the biggest problems we had last season was the timing of things. That three game period with Marshall in was an absolute disaster. But it meant when Gomes joined, he started on the busy Christmas period. Again, another three games gone. And then you come to the realisation we've pic...

He used to be even younger IIRC.


Yeah, but he's older now

Re: GOMES OUT!

Btw, what happened to Clement wouldn't preclude Gomes needing more time now. Indeed, if the club made mistakes with Clement, it would mean they shouldn't treat Gomes that way now. The club is under different management now anyway. If mistakes were made in the past, maybe Gomes, the club, and us, wil...

Re: GOMES OUT!

Gomes will not be here at the end of the season. It's just a matter of time. And then a few people will say he definitely would have turned it around and we should never have got rid for the next 5 years. Is your 5-year projection based on the *few people who currently keep bringing up Clement? . W...

Re: GOMES OUT!

Actually yes he is playing a lot of youngsters tbf. A case could be made that he's playing too many! Ejaria is only 21. Meite is 23. John Swift only just turned 24. + Puscas 23 Yep, sorry, so amended as follows: Rino, McIntyre, Barrett, Richards, and 17 year old Olise. He tried to play Virginia, bu...

It's worrying for us fans. The youngsters just are not getting a go. Sounds dramatic, but is just not true? Rino, McIntyre, Barrett, Richards, and 17 year old Olise. He tried to play Virginia, but he wasn't ready. Who else should be getting a go? Loader, who people moan about (on and off the pitch)...

My thoughts https://rantswithranty.blogspot.com/2019/10/a-royal-rant-at-jose-gomes.html?m=1 Good read. Agree with a lot of it, especially the Richards Obita swap. Totally bizarre.

Re: BFT ???????????????????????????????????????????

We rewarded last season’s best 2 players (Meite & Rino) with places on the bench - that can’t have done those players any good confidence wise. Not really. It's fanspeak. It's more apt at youth level, but they are pro's. They need to be mentally tough, or find another living. If you get dropped...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol City (a) sponsored by hopeless causes

Nope. Putting my foot down here. The answer to formation problems is not "let's try another formation". We dont even have the players for it. Ffs get a grip. Well said, but nah...let's change formation...and then blame the manager for changing the formation. See lineup changes in here. Bu...

John Smith Hi all, sorry to be a let down but I didn't end up going last night as I wasn't well. Will report on the next game I go to.

Get well soon.

Re: Puscas speculation.

Puscas will be fine. Swansea was not a sitter, there was a defender and him both going for the ball and he got there first and it only just went over. Was not easy. The point is he gets into all these positions. Funny how noone else misses sitters? Because they're not there to miss them. After Card...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fulham (h) sponsored by a Yann Kermorgant penalty

But has 2 goals? Yes, and in the role/position/freedom he plays, want him to be a provider too. Long season ahead yet, of course. All I'll say there in his defence is that in essence he's a transition player rather than a direct creative provider like Swift for example. Absolutely he can do better ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fulham (h) sponsored by a Yann Kermorgant penalty

I may be completely wrong on Joao but I dont think his performances (often poor) have been entirely his fault. I think hes not being used correctly. One of his most impressive attributes is his hold up play but he is being asked to do too much to thrive at that. I'm delighted we finally have someon...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fulham (h) sponsored by a Yann Kermorgant penalty

I'm obviously more of a panicker than you. In my head I know it makes sense to stick with the formation, give it time to gel. But our link up play and finishing worries me. And our defending is atrocious. My problem with sticking with that side is that: A) Moore's been awful at RCB B) Joao's attitu...

Re: BFTG Swansea Away

Boye has ability, but will need to be more disciplined, be a team player, play under control. (Beat 2 men, at most, but then get his head up and pass/create, etc.). Has some defensive traits too. Hope he evolves, and should maybe be an impact sub til then. At 23 he's still a young player, adjusting...
