    as my better by far better half keeps telling me,i really do need to communicate more and as usual she is probally right, but thats the feeling i get from ashton gate at the moment, apart from veiled comments from np hinting at a rift somewhere,i think we need a statement from sl, to clarify exactly what our game plan and future is, does he want to sell the club and if so is it imminent, if not will money be available to pearson in january or next season.

    If Nige goes expect your normal Bristol City manager to return.
    A deadly silence from above.
    Time for the owner to address the situation and tell the fan base what is happening. Q

    he came over quite casual and relaxed... throughout ... something not seen from him in the past!!!
    Key points were 2 selling best players ... seemed to appreciate that is football, and nowt he could do, almost like when he signed on "we have to reduce the wage bill and sell a couple of players!"
    injuries ... 5 of them and long term [ an on going thing at BCFC ] ... took pains to explain, and put it into context. EXCEPTING THESE 5 the squad is what it is and during the Norwich game the subs were not detract or improve the team, they were equals for equals! His demeanor seemed to reflect that he accepts the situation as is and what we get from the next 20 games is far less than what he would have expected back at start of AUGUST!

    I thought NP would go with Naismith and Vyner after Dickie's error for the Norwich goal.
    Whatever the result I can't argue with NP's selection today.
    Until Conway returns that side picks itself.

    Glad to see he’s trying another option than Tanner.

    Not so great a start as we are sliced apart for a 1-0 goal for Swansea. Now we will we see how good we think we are.

    Pring is looking a bit off course today and how Nakhi doesn't score from right in front of goal amazes me.

    Another string of chances go awry in their box but we have no scoring punch again.

    City’s been unlucky with Swans clearing off the line a couple times.. I’m convinced we will score today!!

    Wells blazes a shot well over the bar when it would have been easier to score.

    We’re miles better than them atm, despite being cut apart with the pass to which they scored

    Bell scores - but offside kills us again.
