The one thing for me was the lack of defensive options but hopefully that'll be sorted soon

A decent left footed centre half are as rare as rocking horse shit but I'm sure they're working on it

I thought Palmer looked very promising, He faded badly but that's understandable, we need to give him some time to regain his match fitness

He's got 3 weeks. He's a professional, he should be ready to go when the season starts, end of.
I'd love to of heard Brian Clough's thoughts on professional footballers not being fit enough to start a season.

Gyo and Walker

Anyone got a link to any highlights?

I'm sure Clough would be far more empathetic than you

Have to remember it was also silly degrees hot after a week of intense training.

Hasn't played for 9 months but should get fit in 3 weeks? Simple isn't it. Jodi Jones clearly should have been a regular in a fortnight then.

Walker’s second was excellent.
Let’s hope he starts the season fired up and shuts the boo boys up.

That's exactly why I bothered to make the point - people have totally unreasonable expectations sometimes. Kane, Bidwell, Wags all took a fair few games last season. Waggy had just found some fitness I felt when he got injured

 

[shmmeee]

We’ve got plenty of attacking talent to allow Palmer to get up to speed.

Wouldn’t be averse to a Györkeres Godden Walker front line when chasing the game.

The man who threatened to fine Frank Clarke for doing extra training!

Alright Alan Brazil

He will only shut the 'boo boys' up if he applies himself, he has ability but if he don't put it on show its going to be a short career for him

Godden goal missing?

Hope so as I never spotted it. Can see why everyone was moaning about the coverage.

Have you got a poster on your wall of him next to Sheaf?

Great finish.

I think back to the Barnsley second game of the season and honestly believe it had such a big impact on the strikers at the club. What could have been if it had turned out differently. Walker looked really good that day before he injured his shoulder.
Gyokeres missing the pen seemed to spurr him on. And Waghorn not taking it seemed to effect him.

So what the fuck has he been doing for 9 months then, does he not train? Does he not put a pair of boots on? Does he not run about a bit?
Walker and Kelly ain't played much, but it appears they are ready!

Do I need to explain the words match fit to you? OK as your clearly a bit slow I'll try. He hasn't played a match for 9 months. Bombed out by Bristol. Walker played for Portsmouth. Kelly played too. You seem to think that just sticking on some boots means you can last 90 minutes straight away. Utterly clueless aren't you.

But they’re used to the intensity, I doubt Bristol City play at the same intensity

Well let me explain it to you, he's had 9 months to get himself into reasonable shape, not match fit, as match fitness comes from pre-season sessions and friendly matches, but when you come back from a month or more off, there's no excuse for still being behind every one else.
For example, Walker has supposedly been training while off, to make himself as fit as possible, so he has a chance to impress, and fair play to the lad.
If you've had over 9 months to prepair (and he would of known he'd have a new club) you'd expect him (as a pro) to get himself somewhere near ready.
Or is that too much to ask?

View attachment 25235For perspective, four players started yesterdays game also started their play off final. Another was on the bench in the play off final. Another was Lyle Taylor who most of us would have here in a heartbeat. Their GK is Dean Henderson on loan from Man Utd. Awoniyi was signed from Union Berlin for £17m.

Now pre-season is almost completely meaningless and I’m not one to be all that bothered whether we win or lose. But this “weakened side” is utter bullshit, spewed by people who just want to find something to weirdly negate. The first 45 they fielded yesterday was very close to their Premier League regular - subject to new signings obviously.

Obviously your comments were directed at me, but as I mentioned in my comments I was basing it on Cooper’s post-match comments. Anyway preseason matches are hard to read much into, but a win against team like Forest is good for confidence (especially Walker’s).

You can do as much training as you like, if you’ve not played any competitive games in 9 months you’re going to be behind those who have.

You can clearly see from the photos he’s kept himself in good shape, he just hasn’t played any football for a while.

This isn’t a one off, literally any player would be able to explain to you the importance of being match fit.

be like a new signing if he does

There's being fit and then there is match fitness. It wasn't as though he was strolling around. He put in a good shift.

Remember going to see City play Forest at Notts County ground. Can't remember why or the score.

That would be September 1968 0-0
The game was played at Notts County because a stand at Forest was being rebuilt because of a fire.
