I don't think anybody would claim that we have turned a corner after yesterday and it's all onwards and upwards from now on... (OK, maybe SR would ) But most of us know we've still got some serious problems. Three massive points, but we won't stay up winning once every couple of months. We need Cullen & Williams back from injury, and now we really need some good signings in January. Leko wasn't perfect by any means but we will miss him, and now Gallagher could be out for a while. The EFL need to get the take-over ratified SOON. Other Clubs are already getting deals done behind the scenes for good players in January. If we have to wait another fortnight or longer, we will miss out - and it could cost us our 2nd tier status.
Pearce & Solly seem completely out of favour, which is bizarre when you consider how average Purrington & Sarr have been.
We gave them the ball straight from a throw in, from which they said thanks and scored. We are useless at throw ins, this time we got punished.
That was a good boxing day, and I can remember some terrible ones back through the years. Following it on the CL updates it sounded as if we had blown it at 2-1, but give the team a lot of credit they clawed their way back into it, and we finally got a win after coming very close a couple of times. I'll continue to back Bowyer 100%, but I disagree with calling players out in the press, especially a youngster like Albie Morgan. He may well not have been perfect, but it bears remembering he wasn't even in the reconning back in august, so softly softly. As for the announcer, if 1300 Bristol fans pay at the turnstile, they at least desserve to have their team, and goals announced properly. I wasn't there so I don't know if it was simply incompetence, but if not it smacks of a silly small club mentality. Anyway, all in all a good day. Some good news on the injury list would be nice too.
Brian Cole is an embarrassment. The new CEO should send him packing before he creates a sink hole in the pitch.
BC has become a self-appointed cheerleader, much the same as BDL did. I don't like this either; an announcer is an announcer, he should do this clearly no matter who has just scored, and he should do his homework too. That's his job.
It’s one thing being inept - which Brian Cole is ....it really can’t be that hard to learn how to pronounce the opposition players names ...but what about “Truro City” and yesterday we were apparently playing “Bristol Rovers”. Im not going to get into a WUM with the Midget WUM, but before the first game after it had been announced that RD had gone, the Covered Emd chanted “We Got Roland Out” and Cole turned & applauded them. Hypocrite.
Yesterday was epic. Was feeling horrendous in the first half, self inflicted of course, and when they went 2-1 up I was really struggling. The equaliser gave me serious energy, and the final 15/20 minutes were so enjoyable/nervy. Admittedly I was a bit sh!t and left instantly at the final whistle as wanted to beat the traffic. So glad I dragged myself out of bed for it, huge win.
Nah the old announcer is classic Kent middle class black & white scarf wearing protester, he can do one.
