it was pretty desperate
when Moore caught the ball the fans were screaming at him for taking too long and not banging it vaguely in his direction

haha, that was probably me…and when Ohara took ball out of defence and kept it too long…I was getting desperate
It was hilarious that the biggest ovation I’ve seen for a player’s debut in years was for a kid from Rochdale with a handful of games in League One - was like Harry Kane was about to come on for us. The game almost became the Tavares Show after that for some people. I’m sure the wait for him to come on after he got stripped down was unbearable for you.
I dislike the unnecessary hype around a kid who shouldn’t be anywhere near our first team. It’s not a good thing that he was our first sub yesterday. I know for some people the excitement about seeing him in the flesh is more important to them though. I’ve got no problem with the guy himself - we have very little idea what he can actually offer, although his track record shouldn’t fill anyone with optimism.

The wait was funny. Fans were screaming at robins i said I think Shipley is getting ready and probably coming on instead - chap in front went purple thought he was going into cardiac arrest
Guy behind is a resident racist who boos the knee taking (now he sees he gets some abuse fit that so dramatically stands and turns his back on it) and yet he also was going into some kind of epilepsy as if Eusebio was making an appearance

sounds like it.
what a load rubbish, so who would you of brought on, Shipley or Bidwell , we needed an attacking threat.
Yes, we needed an attacking threat off the bench. Is it a good thing that our only option was Fabio Tavares?
He didn’t do anything yesterday!
He hasn’t done much to earn a regular spot in the team beyond being the last man standing, but it looks like he’ll be coming off the bench most games now for the next month, so at least people have a reason to get excited. And I mean that respectfully, the atmosphere genuinely improved when he came on.

Have you seen a lot of him? Not being facetious here just interested in why you feel that he shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team. I haven't seen him apart from a couple of u23 matches online where he looked OK, and in one match better than Walker, but as yet I don't have an opinion on him. I know some people do regularly see u23 matches and might therefore have an informed view.
Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever seen him play. My opinion of him is entirely based on his track record, which speaks for itself. I’ve not heard anyone say he’s better than Walker before. That’s….surprising to me.
I think people would rightly be concerned if someone like Baka (who has a far superior track record) was our only striker option off the bench, but apparently Tavares gets even more benefit of the doubt. He even has his own song already apparently!
Bristol might not even turn up on Tuesday, if the hype continues at this rate they will surely forfeit.

His record compared to Walker’s at the same age says it all.

Yeah, I’m sure the rest of the league is quaking in their boots.
