On a positive note, we took 4 points off Sunderland this season, can’t knock that. We’ve all said for a long time, we need an out and out goal scorer, someone that’s not frightened to shoot rather than just walk it in..
Along with every other team in the league, oh and we want to spend less than £2m from L1- L2 for him, expect to pay him peanuts and for no one else to buy him from us.
We’ve won 2 of the last 3 but only by the odd goal against Leicester and Plymouth Lack of goals will still cost us in the long run Normally I’d be happy with an away point but it sounds like a dreadful game between two teams who know their season is well and truly over
Wow - just seen the highlights. Well played Max - take a bow son! https://www.skysports.com/football/...land-0-0-bristol-city-championship-highlights
Our highlights couldn't have taken long other than Max having a great game. So much from both teams unable to 'kill' and control the ball, nothing to do with conditions. It was embarrassing at times.
R&W You were lucky, some of us sat through the 90minutes ! Ps - to all...... Off to Torremolinos tomorrow, I'll be checking in hoping you guys keep me informed.
You’re right RP - the highlights are basically the Max O’Leary show The rest of the team missed the bus, in more ways than one.
You think we’d get him for £2m?, it’s ok I know that’s not what you meant, I’m not sure he’d be successful in Manningball anyway tbh
Enjoy RP - I’m jealous!! I love Torremolinos. You should be able to see the city games over there - most bars have IPTV and show any game you want - we always get to see City when we are over there but we stay in Benalmádena - the next town to the west.
In fairness that was a long time ago. In hindsight he’s turned out good, and we didn’t give him a chance I know, but that’s life, some you win, some you lose.
My thoughts hours on.. We seem to play better against the top teams.. mindset of the group goes up a few notches. I said earlier I would have been happy with a draw, Sunderland was a wounded animal after the mauling from Blackburn.. It was a bit of a nothing game in blustery conditions, tbf both teams looked on their holidays. I still maintain that the youngsters should be given some championship game time.. We need a few fresh faces including a decent striker..
Agree we do better against better teams, often because they attack and allow us space, lower teams tend to sit in which we find difficult to break down. We have to find a way to break down these teams, we only have to score one and then they are forced to open up. As you said teams often react to a heavy defeat and neither team had anything resting on the result,,so it was always going to be tight. That’s no excuse for our level of performance though. But at least we got a point, thanks largely to Max. The question of the youngster depends on which youngsters, and whereabouts they are in their development, unless they are ready playing them won’t help their development, in fact it could hinder it.
