    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Didn't perform to our potential. But we'll happily take a valuable away point. Sheaf returning and a new top class CM will be very positive. If we see Wright, BTA, EMC as our finishers I would have EMC on the left (his position), Wright central for the final 30, BTA on the right. We go again...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Probably right Tom particularly if Palmer doesn't want to agree a new contract. I just think Palmer's skill set and vision could suit this team very nicely against tired defences in the last 30 minutes - particularly with the express pace of our likely front 3 ahead of him in the final 30 -...

    Other way round for me. Palmer has vision and is a fantastic option with 30 minutes to go with the pace of the front 3 ahead of him. When Sheaf returns, Eccles or Torp drop to the bench as additional cover for the midfield. I don't always understand how some seem to love Allen vs. Palmer as I...

    Love the bench and the possibility of bringing on real pace after 60 minutes. The prospect of Palmer pulling the strings after 60 and feeding balls through to a front line of EMC/BTA and HW is just a nightmare for tired defences. We've had pace in the team before (Huckerby and Williams as...

    You're either desperate for the team to fail, drunk at the game or a clown. Most likely all 3. Total nonsense.

    I can't believe some are asking questions of EMC after just 1 week of the season. He's seriously rated in the game and I love the pace that we now have across our forwards both in the starters and finishers. We're going to be a nightmare for teams in the final 20-30 with that pace available to...

    Love Simmsy but not on top of his game - expecting big things in the next 20 mins from Ellis - before BTA runs this lot ragged. We look a million times better than this time last season - far better in possession and with attacking options across the pitch.

    Dovin gives me much more confidence- very decent feet - looks like we’ve done well with that signing. Rudoni - absolute class.

    MVE and Saka on the right - so good. We’re just one midfield general away from being a real force.

    Sakomota is a fucking superstar. As is Rudoni. Exciting times ahead.

    Was Roland Nilsson our best ever Right Back ?

    Exactly right Ring of Steel - I believe then headed to Florida.

    Was Roland Nilsson our best ever Right Back ?

    Danny Thomas was international class - I know I would say that but it's true. There was a buzz in the crowd when he received the ball - and he was our right back in the early 80s. I can only imagine how good he would be in the modern game - pace, technical skills he had it all. Very...

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    Facts related to in game comments such as ‘let’s give up, relegate us now.’ Totally hysterical and throwing in the towel - but as always I look forward to more in game nonsense from the usuals. Before we turn things around and score in the last minute - with the hystericals nowhere to be seen...

    Going a goal down will result in the Samaritans hot lines being on fire as the usual suspects on here fall into a spiral of complete despair. ‘Relegate us now’ was something I read on here a few seasons ago during our 4th game after an early goal against us.

    Transfer Rumour Bobby Clark

    All signings and loans are a gamble - albeit in our recent history a much better researched gamble. In the worst case scenario, signing a young player for £2 million and then paying £600K every year for the next 4 years is a gamble - that player could flop and have no re-sale value. We're...

    Allen is a tidy player but for me he lacks power and dynamism as a defensive midfielder at this level.

    Would go with this as well. Would like to see EMC, BTA on from around 60 minutes as they look top class. Happy for Palmer to rotate into the Torp position later in the game - Palmer's very technical and looks good with Rudoni. There's so much more pace and power in the team vs. a couple of years...

    This is a million times better than the welcome videos we've seen over the last couple of years with the totally inane welcome questions. As a couple of classic examples: 'Looking forward to meeting the lads at training and working with the gaffer?' 'How do you feel about playing in front of...

    when was the darkest era for the club?

    Dark times indeed as we fell down the leagues. Homeless. Hopeless. No future. On the other side seeing this club rise again under the return of Robins - the last 7 years have by far been the most amazing and meaningful times in supporting the club. My first game was in 1978 and nothing...
