Not been around for most of the summer, up to my eyes in everything, including work which I so called packed in over a year ago!
Certainly been a lot of changes to Bristol City in past few weeks, so many gone and so few arrived. The injured from last season returning making up for an interesting group of players.
I have had very little chance to keep up with posts, just cursory glances from time to time, but very little seems to change. Glad to see the posts of people who have been jabbed, very sensible. Having lost 3 close friends, both under 35 and also aware of people I know having suffered, and lost the fight in 2 cases it makes sense.
Very sad to see some of the older people not taking the jabs, a risk to themselves family and friends. Of course should the worst befall them they will not see the heart ache they leave behind.

The season ahead, I am hoping for a continuation of Bristol City form before Covid, maybe Christmas 2021 will continue on from Christmas 2019 when we were well placed. It would be nice to finish top 6, even nicer to be in top 2. A finish better than 8th will be a continuation of Lee Johnsons efforts up to Christmas 2019.

Welcome back !
I think we're in for a season or 2 of rebuilding, but I have confidence in the man we've employed. I think a top half finish this year will be more than acceptable to most. Anything above that will be a bonus.
 
welcome back … been a bit tied up myself. GD's leaving school, belated wakes, nieces coming of age parties …. relapse on my hip "unrepared side!" Tour de France OLYMPICS.... etc etc also cataloging birds insects and Butterflies and helping out with some hydro geology study of past water courses ….. with respect to building new estates and robbing the aquifers ….
Team doesn't seem strong enough! THERE IS TALENT, but believe there is an imbalance [ not followed the friendlies, but just watched Niges interview after AV game ] Nige doesn't seem to come over with much confidence, I thought a couple of his comments stopped short at "giving out some stick" … maybe that's done behind closed doors? He didn't didn't seem at all forceful/confident in his prediction of the future, near future that is! Rather blasey about our first game!
Sad to see Fammy go! NEW SEASON, new manager may have proved a different player, he was very happy at City .. hopefully wont come back to bite us!

I'm not sure he was that happy at the club last season, and his general demeanour and attitude said his head had probably been filled with thoughts of a lucrative transfer to a bigger club and better earning prospects, probably all being driven by his agent. But others are not exactly queuing up to sign him.
Personally I'm not sorry he's no longer with us. He had some of the worst first touches of any City player.

Yep, crap first touch, couldn't hold the ball up for toffee, went down far too easy, positional play in the box was shocking.

Come back to bite us in the arse? a bit difficult in Turkey.

But hey RR doesn't watch games, as far as i'm aware.

whisper was his agent said to hold out and they would get a better deal or transfer to a bigger club... he was as pointed out at the time ready to sign ….. happy people always do better! The club gave him a chance? to sign on for 3 years … he [ his agent ] missed the boat good luck over there. Wonder if he is keeping his kids in school over here?

The first part of the whisper is true. The rest isn't, he was offered maximum of 2 years on the same money and then Pearson came in and that offer was withdrawn for 2 reasons, his failure to sign and Pearson did not rate him and eventually managed to prove to SL how poor he actually was.

Fammy frustrated the hell out of me, but he was still our top scorer - even though trapping the ball wasn't among his skills, he still managed to score more than anyone else at the club - with virtually no service either.
Not saying we should have kept him, but he wasn't totally useless - I think that's a bit harsh. Unconventional yes, not a striker yes, useless no - IMHO

Yes the top scorer in a team where Harry Kane/Jimmy Greaves and John Atyeo in their prime would have struggled to have scored, IMHO he and probably Wells are the living embodiment of 'you don't get a lot of striker for yer 5mil'.

Also IMHO my comments still stand on what I witnessed ,crap first touch, couldn't hold the ball up for toffee, went down far too easy, positional play in the box was shocking.

Notwithstanding of course it's all about opinions.
