I would like to see a bit more of Tounkoara. He looks just the ticket to be the guy driving deep into opposition defences with ball at feet. That's going by the last showing anyway.
I'm amazed that you would put Harrold ahead of Richards. Richards nearly always puts in a really good shift and can change a game. Harrold's more of a battering ram - good at holding the ball up and quite good in the air.
for me richards is like another lines. goes missing far to many times. some times you can see the quality but sometimes i just forget he is even on the pitch. im not sure about harrold being put above him as dont know how harrold will be after recovering from his injury. not sure if he will be like virgo and not be the same. soon find out though.
Tounkara looked good today ran out of steam may be in line to replace Harrold and Tom scored perhaps this is his turning point. COR
it was nice to finally see mcdonald. thought he did well and got himself a clean sheet too. doubt he will want to stay as not got as many games as he liked but JW did say mcdonald has been a great professional in training waiting for his time. so guess its wait and see. mcchrystal made a good captain today. hope he stays. was great to see hitchcock score at last. so every singing JW has made has had positive impact. mildenhall mcchrystal mcdonald o'toole hitchcock brunt tounkara bravo mr ward.
As regards J J O'Toole I've thought for a while now (but kept it to myself) I wouldn't be surprised if he did return to Bristol ...but to Ashton Gate. He says he wants to play at a higher level...and City will give him all the stuff about 'bouncing back'; and he'll be out of contract. Just a feeling.....hope I'm wrong!
think shiny said when o'toole joined us that o'toole was either linked with city or he wanted o'toole.
P49 my understanding is that O Toole has a year left on his contract however as he does not feature in his clubs plans they will probably let him go,agree about playing at a higher level who knows either way we need a minimum of 1 Otoole type midfielder maybe 2 if we have the money. It will be worthwhile seeing who else comes avaliable after the shake down season end. COR
I really don't know why some quarters keep niggling away at the home grown players like Lines and Richards. Lines was a great player for us and he got snapped up for a decent fee as soon as he became available. Apart from looking a bit lightweight sometimes, Richards is a game changer. He needs to be a bit more consistent, but he's still young. With a bit of nurturing he could be our next £1m player. If he has a decent pre season he could be one of the players to watch in League Two next season.
Scunthorpe home to Swindon Colchester away to Carlisle If Scunny win and Colts lose it only needs two goal advantage to Scunny over Colts in those games and they are safe.
