Brizzle Jordan Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 That's definitely not the worst result in the world. Seems to have highlighted were still frail at the back though. It does, however Del knew this from the back end of last season which is why he's trying his best to solve the issue at CB. Carey and Nyatanga at the back fills me with little hope, A good CB and Fontaine looks alot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Jordan Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 If that was our first choice pairing I'd be very worried - but it aint too far away from it is it... It's not but i'm sure if you asked Man Utd fans they would say without Vidic and Ferdinand they would be worried with Evans and Smalling at the back.

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yannick the major threat today. Far better crosser of a ball than Albert. Gives the strikers a chance the way he whipped the crosses in. Tried 3 or 4 different formations today. Seeing that it was our first pre season game the majority of players were way off of the pace in the first 25 mins but grew into the game and probably finished the stronger.

Talk Of The Town Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 If it is him, 23 goals in 100 games in League One doesn't strike me as impressive especially for a Striker. Its not great but is a striker whos scored 60 in 80 games going to come to Bristol City. I certainly wouldnt. Sometimes its about coaches and managers spotting talent and improving a players performances and record. Different sport i know but Marcus Trescothick averaged 22 for somerset, he averaged over over 40 for England. Id love city to sign Ronaldo or Messi but we are a poor Champo club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Ghost of Jim Morton Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Well that was interesting. Given Saints only fielded ONE first 11 player from our euro game, I fully expected Saints, from the alledgedly shite backwater and pile of rubbish that is Scottish football, would get humped by Bristol City from the all conquering championship, home of many high quality brazilianesque players. So what did I think?I thought the Robins were rotten and was very dissapointed by them. They do of course, have the valid excuse of this being their first friendly on the new season. Well it showed, big style. If the championship is indeed the motherlode of quality that has been so often claimed, then this team will struggle all season.I wouldn't worry though all you Robins, as personally, I have never bought into the pish about our football being as bad as some of our neighbours would like us to believe. The gulf that is regularly talked about is simply not there. And this is even though the championship is a financial goldmine.So we can put that one to bed now eh Thought the Saints players out there all did a decent job and fully deserved the victory and I actually enjoyed the game which is unusual for me and friendlies. Was also great to meet up with all the City fans who came into the Barossa Street club. Smashing bunch of lads (Especially Rod Stewart look alike and a guy called Squeak who I could not understand.

What was most apparent to me last season, was the head dropping when we conceded. They looked beaten every time. If he can sort that attitude out, it will give us a chance to improve on last season.

Southport Red Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I know that many of us on here do enjoy slagging other posters off and getting very personal, but if I may interrupt the vitriol for a moment, I would like to comment about the ghost of Jim Muir and his posts today. First of all, when Derek was first rumoured to be joining us, ghost was one of a number of Saints fans who came on here and proved themselves to be excellent, dignified football people. We were taking a manager from them who was really taking them places, if the boot had been on the other foot, the saints forum would have been full of City fans saying words like 'Judas' and 'traitor' and 'mercenary'. What we got was a lot of Saints fans wishing Del and Doc good luck and saying that, whilst they previously hadn't given Bristol City a second thought, they would definitely follow our results from now on. As I say, there were quite a few Saints fans here at the time who were very welcome guests and I, for one, really enjoyed reading their contributions. What they got in return was, for the most part, reciprocated. Many City fans engaged with our new Caledonian friends and a very nice community started on here. The ghost of Jim Muir was very much in the vanguard of all ths and I, for one, always made sure I read his (you are a male Ghost, yes?) posts. Unfortunately, Ghost and the other Saints posters on here would have read a small but noisy minority of Otib posters slagging off the SPL, Scottish football and ( thankfully, only rarely), Scotland itself. This was, at best, disingenuous and, more likely, totally lacking in class. Consequently ghost may I say this to you and your fellow Saintees. Most of us here on Otib really like the fact that you guys come on here and talk to us Most of us don't think it is big or clever to show an abject lack of respect to another club, especially when the supporters of that club are showing such class themselves. Many of us would like to see a regular fixture between our sides, (Home and Away would be cool). I feel a kinship with St J ( and, indeed, with Perth) because of all that has gone on. So, after having to read all the "SPL is about as good as an English under 9's girls team" (SR exaggerates for effect) nonsense that was posted here last October, I think Ghost is more than entitled to come back and have a gentle dig at us. The championship is a good league and we have hopes of consolidating and becoming a more than decent team in that league but let's not think that that means that everything else is rubbish. Because if we do, then we might get beaten by a team from said rubbish league, and some of their fans may feel the need to one back and give us all a friendly "we beat you...but you said we were crap" comment. So Ghost, let me try to respond to you with some of the class that you and your colleagues have shown on this forum in the past. Well done St Johnstone. All the best in the Europa League and the SPL. I guess first place is a foregone conclusion but, with Rangers gone, second place, and the Champions League must be the target for 2012/13. I, for one, hope you make it.

And may I say I would have loved to have been back in perth today, proud Englishman and Bristolian that I am I would have been kilted for the event. This Bristolian loves Scotland its beauty is beyond words. I had hoped to get swaps and go to the game and do Ben Lawers before heading north for my planned holiday hill walking. Love Perth too having seen Runrig and Wolfstone there on a few occasions. I too add my best wishes to the Saintees, Some of my best friends are Saintees.....hehehe, and i am being serious in fact.

Kibs Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 On a positive, it sounded like Bolasie had a good game. McInnes seems to rate him quite highly. He gave him a fair few opportunities when he came un last season and I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit more of him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ghost of Jim Morton Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Good to see you back on the City forum Jim. Thanks for the appraisal. Seems Vine could be a real good signing. Wish you well for the season. Cheers, and the same to you Robins. I have had my big sleep and am shortly heading out into the beautiful morning sunshine for 18 holes of golf. My golf will make you guys performance yerterday look like you were Barcelona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ghost of Jim Morton Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I know that many of us on here do enjoy slagging other posters off and getting very personal, but if I may interrupt the vitriol for a moment, I would like to comment about the ghost of Jim Muir and his posts today. First of all, when Derek was first rumoured to be joining us, ghost was one of a number of Saints fans who came on here and proved themselves to be excellent, dignified football people. We were taking a manager from them who was really taking them places, if the boot had been on the other foot, the saints forum would have been full of City fans saying words like 'Judas' and 'traitor' and 'mercenary'. What we got was a lot of Saints fans wishing Del and Doc good luck and saying that, whilst they previously hadn't given Bristol City a second thought, they would definitely follow our results from now on. As I say, there were quite a few Saints fans here at the time who were very welcome guests and I, for one, really enjoyed reading their contributions. What they got in return was, for the most part, reciprocated. Many City fans engaged with our new Caledonian friends and a very nice community started on here. The ghost of Jim Muir was very much in the vanguard of all ths and I, for one, always made sure I read his (you are a male Ghost, yes?) posts. Unfortunately, Ghost and the other Saints posters on here would have read a small but noisy minority of Otib posters slagging off the SPL, Scottish football and ( thankfully, only rarely), Scotland itself. This was, at best, disingenuous and, more likely, totally lacking in class. Consequently ghost may I say this to you and your fellow Saintees. Most of us here on Otib really like the fact that you guys come on here and talk to us Most of us don't think it is big or clever to show an abject lack of respect to another club, especially when the supporters of that club are showing such class themselves. Many of us would like to see a regular fixture between our sides, (Home and Away would be cool). I feel a kinship with St J ( and, indeed, with Perth) because of all that has gone on. So, after having to read all the "SPL is about as good as an English under 9's girls team" (SR exaggerates for effect) nonsense that was posted here last October, I think Ghost is more than entitled to come back and have a gentle dig at us. The championship is a good league and we have hopes of consolidating and becoming a more than decent team in that league but let's not think that that means that everything else is rubbish. Because if we do, then we might get beaten by a team from said rubbish league, and some of their fans may feel the need to one back and give us all a friendly "we beat you...but you said we were crap" comment. So Ghost, let me try to respond to you with some of the class that you and your colleagues have shown on this forum in the past. Well done St Johnstone. All the best in the Europa League and the SPL. I guess first place is a foregone conclusion but, with Rangers gone, second place, and the Champions League must be the target for 2012/13. I, for one, hope you make it. Go Saints I vote this as OTIB post of the year..( but then I would ) Oh and yes I am a bloke ( but it's Jim Morton not Muir. that's my real name Muir not Jim.OMG I have been outted ) Cheers bud.

The Fat Controller Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Watching the highlights it seems we're not very sharp. Hardly surprising for our first Pre-season fixture, and i certainly wouldn't read into it any more than that. We had a few shots blocked and a couple of good saves were made from Taylor and Pitman(? I think) and Carey poked just wide. Nothing major to worry about. Match sharpness is what this friendly was about and hopefully the lads can build on that over the next couple of games up there.

Ron Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 The defending for the second goal is absolutely woeful, but smacks of a lack of match sharpness. If we're getting tonked by Southampton when we play them, then worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
