    Anyone who believes that our transfer policy over the past 3/4 years has been 'NORMAL', I give you Lois Diony, a player brought in on loan with a reported agreed fee of up to 10mil, that's 2 Diedhiou's, I would like to shake the hand of the person who set that one up, he made Bas Savage look world class.

    Bentley
    Kalas, Webster, Baker, Magnusson
    Elisasson, Brownhill, Nagy, Lloyd Kelly
    Abraham, Reid

    There you go RP - that's my squad picked entirely from either LJ signings, or academy players who played their first senior game under LJ's management.

    Or we could go 4-3-3 and drop Nagy for Tomlin:

    Bentley
    Kalas, Webster, Baker, Magnusson
    Elisasson, Brownhill, Lloyd Kelly
    Abraham, Tomlin, Reid

    R&W you are plainly not as daft as Captain Covid - Usually.<doh>

    However I must refer you to my question.
    Who from the squad inherited by Holden will start in August ?
    I gave you Kalas, Bentley and Vyner but Pearson will need to bring in at least 5 better players.
    You don't have to try again, it's apparent Johnson left an appalling legacy.

    Yeah I can remember his debut end of season game think it was Millen that gave him his debut 2010/11 season it was. Also he missed that sitter for Cotts against Cardiff.

    ‘I was a little bit lost’ - Wade Elliott opens up on his Bristol City exit and the 2014/15 double
    The former midfielder retains a love for Bristol City reciprocated by the fanbase following the vital role he played for the club
    https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/wade-elliott-bristol-city-double-5128531

    Reid gets an interesting mention here, prior to LJ days.

    Badly treated as were many players in the squad that LJ inherited.

    Supcon72.
    What facts, your words, have I changed ?
    Happy to admit if I've got it wrong but the quotes I've shown are explicit.

    I wonder if this individual would use the same words if Alan Dicks or Steve Cotterill were being interviewed on the BBC - or even anyone else who ever managed us?
    I suspect not.
    I suspect this special reaction is reserved for only one manager in particular.

    Jesus H Christ it is or should be reserved for all ex managers, let's congratulate him when he has a proper achievement as a manager, the sort that the whole football world can comment about, the sort that appears on his Wikipedia page and not those that are recognised locally by BCFC fans as an achievement in our usually woeful life in the championship or league division 2 as it was.

    Who knows it might even be this year and the best of luck to him, I am totally focused on BCFC and how we end our season and how our new manager can weed out deadwood/inconsistent/incapables that we have and bring in some quality and not the usual has beens or never were's, that we have signed in recent years.
