    I feel Stamenic was our solution to the Hamer problem but fucking Forest had to tempt him away.

    Listen all. I’ll try to answer all of you here. I care deeply about the club and want us to win all games. We play in Man City colours (more so this year) and why not emulate them in terms of challenging for every single competition right? I get that. I want to win it all too and am very...

    Bristol Away (Cup) ticket details

    It’s a choice because of the effects of having a congested fixture schedule due to having a deep cup run. That’s how they are related. Think the choice is clear especially after last season.

    Granted I’m not happy after today’s result and just blowing off some steam, but honestly speaking if you had a choice between a deep cup run or getting promoted what would you prefer?

    Who knows the U-21s might show more heart, grit and desire than our first team did today.

    Put the U-21s out for this and get it over with. League should be No. 1 priority.

    Sheaf

    Having so many forwards with no proper midfielders and a suspect defence is like having several guns but no bullets.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    This was the worst performance on opening day since our return to the Championship and I am not exaggerating. Think back to our 2-1 loss to Bristol City, 2-1 win over Forest, 1-1 draw vs Sunderland and last season’s 2-1 loss against Leicester. All of those performances were far better than...

    Sorry to disagree. I am downbeat and disappointed. The team needs to feel disappointed about this. The expectation was to win this game comfortably, but what I saw was dismal and disjointed. This was the worst performance on opening day since our return to the Championship and I am not...

    Sheaf

    Looks like a worse injury than anticipated. He'll miss 6 weeks then as is the norm for him.

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

    Werder Bremen last week and Stoke today bypassed our midfield at will. Then our backline is under pressure and forced to scramble. Our forward players are also left on an island with no linkup play from back to front that Stoke and Werder showed. These are all warning signs we must heed and need...

    Bidwell appreciation

    Sadly JDS is not a good option either. I've been crying out for better defensive options. Still 20 days left in the window for a CM and defender. Fingers crossed!

    You know I think the whole team was drinking the same Kool Aid as the pundits and thinking they could just show up and get the 3 points. Really hope this is the rocket up the arse they need to wake up and work hard for every point. MR better watch his back as well or Dr. Roberts/DK may start...

    Video Victor Torp and Mark Robins reflect on Coventry City's defeat against Stoke City 🎙️

    Torp is not as eloquent as I would have expected him to be. Seemed lost for words and obviously shocked at the outcome.

    I think I had 12 instead of 11 in my lineup (my bad)...the slashes were for alternate options....in any case every extra player helps especially if the ref favours the other team

    Thought he played in midfield last season on occasion. Not saying he's great, but Allen is not much better and possibly worse.

    Don't want to seem like I'm overreacting, but I think Binks and Kitching might need to start next game. Was less than impressed with Thomas' suicidal passes. Allen surely has to be dropped in favor of Eccles or Sheaf. Torp has to make way for Palmer/Lati. Wright in place of EMC. Also was...

    Think Binks gets a 6 also. Otherwise I may agree with you.

    I really don't care about the cup competitions this season and we need to focus on the league. We need to win games like this if we want a top 6 finish. Certainly didn't look like a top 6 team today. Stoke looked much much better than us and more fluid.
