Bloody good on him for plugging and plugging away and not shirking opportunities. I was one who 12m ago was very skeptical, indeed I thought he should've been released this time last year, but his rate of improvement - for me - at least matches the rate that Joe Bryan improved for us. If he keeps up his progress at the same rate for 12m I think we'll be fending off interest I said well done to BR - have a look through the list of his chances on the City match tweets if you want to know why I added at long last.

I know why at long last, but I would rather congratulate someone for putting that behind them and for having the mentality that the only shot which matters is your next. When we've come back from 2 behind a well done through gritted teeth by referring to his profligacy earlier is wholly unnecessary.

JoeAman08 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'll sound really negative but don't want to be too harsh at the same time. We had a great window and are playing good football. It's ok to expect to beat teams like Rotherham. I think we are as good as most teams in this division and yes we are still gelling but the level of dominance today should have gotten us more. It doesn't always have to be happy about everything. I'm glad we got something and they done well to get a point being two down but we need to put teams like this away early and go for the jugular. A point with SW away and Derby at home in the next week isn't the best as its going to be much harder to get points from. So 3 points was needed today. Im sure the errors will be corrected. So I'm happy for the point but I think we needed 3 and I expected it. I wasn't there but think Flint is feeling pressure with Ekstrand now pushing him more than anyone else would've the past 3 years? I don't know if he played well or recovered from the early mistake so genially asking. Also I'd seriously consider fining and suspending Tomlin for this dissent rubbish. Maybe it's frustrations that it isn't going as well for him now? Tbf, he was a star for a mid table team last year. Is it unfair to expect the same in a team with quite a bit more fire power now? Kodjia is gone but I still fancy us to score more this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, perhaps, and well done to BR for getting another important goal today, but the other way of looking at that would be that if Pack played (especially away from home) we might not have to score three to win a game - or keep having to fight back from being a goal or two behind for that matter.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I just want to say once more, LJ has one huge set of balls, with his team selections and especially his substitutions, I love this and his honesty, all I have ever asked from any BCFC team in my 58 years of support is that they just always give 100% and most of the second half he deployed the dreaded 3-5-2 and it sounded as if Joe Bryant in particular was ripping them a new one. Well done LJ and the team, very proud and from where we were coming back from I will take a point, even though it could easily have been 3. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3rich Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 What a comeback. 12 months ago we would have gone on to lose this 3-0! Still waiting on Korey & Matthews to come back as well. Sounded like Bobby Reid was outstanding all game, really do think he's underrated by our fans, time is still on his side to improve further. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets 8-10 this season.
