22A Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 They must be bored or excited; their match day thread started on Tuesday. Usual mix of realists, optimists and doom merchants (like us?) https://avftt.co.uk/index.php?threads/bristol-city-v-blackpool-official-matchday-thread-11-03-23.41222/ Getting 3 points here would be brilliant. We saw what one week of training did vs Burnley... the possibilities of what another one can do vs Bristol are causing me to be very optimistic about this match! Every Saturday is just a step closer to relegation. Saturday will be no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Still rate MM due to 7(?) years of keeping Ipswich up whilst spending under 3m, and then getting relegated the season he was ****** off, must have been doing something right. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkev Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 The games I have seen them play including when we played them up there they are a better side than there position suggests .

He spent over £5 million yet at the time it was still minor compared to the likes of Wolves who were spending £14 m on one player and BCFC who spent £5m on Fammy. MM inherited the Roy Keane hangover in the same way NP did from the MA hangover. But Mick stated this at the time : "I think it is outrageous - but don't get me wrong if I had it, I would spend it. I think Nige has said the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Red Cyril Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I bit worried by this one. Just feel we need to get those shooting boats on and not give them a chance when we arec on top we got to score. And although we should of got a better result at Cardiff .

22A Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Once again, like all teams, no praise for City just complaints about their own plyers. https://avftt.co.uk/index.php?threads/bristol-city-v-blackpool-official-matchday-thread-11-03-23.41222/page-13 Today after watching I thought I was far too excited when we got in to the opposition area. We should be doing that a lot more and it shouldn’t be overly exciting. The thought of even being near their goal was a pipe dream. I tried to watch the game on Sky with a dispassionate viewpoint but in all my years of watching Blackpool that was one of the worst displays ever by the team I have supported since being a boy. There didn't appear to be any game plan on how to attack Bristol and players of guile and skill such as Bowler and Carey went AWOL. There isn't a leader on the pitch and a feeling of defeat pervades the team and club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a bit rough around the edges, but he’s got something, especially in a poor Blackpool side. He didn’t get a kick first half, and had a couple of bright moments second half drifting left half.

Whether the Blackpool fans who posted on their forum watched live or on TV it’s understandable why they complained about their team. I agree with the sentiments of the part I’ve highlighted. The team was dire and looked like a poor League 1 team at best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
