BCFCGav Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 One change to the 18 means all of Bell, Conway and OTC came through Good Friday unscathed. Wilson does lose his place, I’d be interested to know if that’s a knock or just competition. Odd if he can’t make the bench when young Leeson and Wood do.

Davefevs Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Sounds like Tomas still out, but Scott is back. Nige suggesting he could do 60. Good news is that Joe Williams has started back training, his injury recovery has progressed quicker than expected. No timeframe, but positive. So, I'll take Kalas and Williams injuries game by game, whereas I'd originally marked Joe down as out for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Scott plays 45/60 minutes against Watford and proves his fitness I'd expect him to start against Sheff Utd and all the remaining games Playing against physical sides isn't a problem for him, he's used to being targeted for rough treatment in most games. Certainly can't see him being rested for Sheff. Utd if he's fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan is he will be, yes, but careful not to push him too quickly. Re Alex v Ayman, I don’t think there was ever really much “he’s ahead of him” type stuff. Alex joined as a 16 year old, and in barely any time was a first teamer. So I don’t think there was any time for it to be a “thing”. 29 minutes ago, redkev said: Totally agree about Conway he looks the real deal to me , I’m still not sure about Bell but would be very happily proved wrong Today we saw for 10-15 minutes Bristol City’s equivalent of Ajax’s Kanu and Kluivert playing together and leading the line.

BCFCGav Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 Ok then, last one for this season. It’s a strangely pensive time. Thankfully, there’s another month of football to watch courtesy of Prem, FA Cup and Europe but not the highs and lows of our beloved reds. Already counting down to August to be honest. 1 change to the 18. Dasilva out, Mehmeti in. I think we’ve seen the last of Jay then, a good servant for us.

I think Rennie and his team are doing really well. If we can maintain good availability throughout next season (with a squad padded out a bit this summer) I think that gives us every chance of a play-off finish. Bit of early optimism for you!

It is very apparent that Bajic isn't the player the club thought he was going to be, challenging Bents for number one with Max leaving but it has turned into Bents leaving and Max claiming No1 spot without Bajic properly challenging Max. I think a backup goalkeeper is crucial this summer because as much as I rate HWR we can't rely on him to be backup with the experience he has. For HWR he needs a good loan where he is going to be number 1 and he can get a good taste of mens football and then the club can review the situation next summer. Someone like Chris Maxwell who was at Blackpool last year would be perfect. Good experience, can give Max healthy competition, available on a free. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Chris Maxwell who was at Blackpool last year would be perfect. Good experience, can give Max healthy competition, available on a free. Tend to agree. I watched a fair bit of highlights of Bajic at Valenciennes, and despite their defence being atrocious, he looked below what we needed. Looks like he gets stuck in his 6 yard box and that might create indecision from his defenders in front of him. When he signed I watched a bit of him at Pau and St.Etienne , he was kamikaze coming off his line, so maybe he’s gone too far the other way. He’s still incredibly young though. It seemed that TransferRoom and Cisse played a big part in getting him over and the word was we jumped through hoops to get him a work permit. Cisse is no longer to be seen. 2+2??? I think we will try to move him on. I really like Maxwell as an option. Good character too by all accounts. Others have mentioned Sarkic as an option if Wolves get Scott. A lot of sense in that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I do wonder if we might be in the market for a goalie more senior/experienced than Max. I don't mean a 36 year old, but a keeper that has played at a higher level. It's not that I don't rate Max, but I just wonder if this young team could do with experience and presence between the sticks. I know naff all about keepers so won't make any suggestions!!

Do you not think our availability has improved out of all recognition since Dave Rennie arrived? Weimann returned under him & then didn’t miss a single game the following season. Hardly “so many” injuries, is it? I would expect we are pretty much in the middle of the table regarding player availability & would be interested to know for instance how we could have stopped Atkinson & Benarous doing their ACLs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Kick on the ankle for Conway, Vyner a bit stiff. ( ooh Matron). No injuries just precautionary. According to Curtis Fleming Edited July 25, 2023 by Red Army 75 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyner also subbed late on, not sure why at this point, but I’ll leave him off the list for now. Conway goes on though, that’s an injury. Injured: Atkinson McCrorie Naismith Benarous Weimann Conway Good pre-season this. Let’s see who we lose Saturday. Fleming has confirmed no injuries sustained tonight. Zak and Tommy are fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually implies they're faking it or making a meal of it and shows a complete lack of empathy for a player who may be going through a difficult period and who we're meant to support. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a perfect example of the club being quick to keep us in the loop. Hopefully see Conway in the squad for Portsmouth now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad day in work combined with (seemingly) a 4th injury in pre-season wound me up but I like to think Stevie has mischaracterised me a fair bit there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zak and Tommy are fine Fleming can't possibly have said that. We've already established on this thread that every player missing or being subbed in a pre-season game is an unmitigated disaster and the club are pretending that injuries don't exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted July 25, 2023 Admin Share Posted July 25, 2023 I'd say that we've just seen two massive over reactions on here Like I posted on another thread, I blame cad for everyone suddenly becoming a medical expert Even if someone did get injured tonight, we've got 46 league games ahead of us and very few will play them all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. For all we know. it may be the club that are choosing not to risk Naismith too quickly during pre-season rather than him believing he is unfit to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference no one did so last season, Vyner managed 45 (missed Rotherham away through illness) & Wells was on the pitch in 45 too but he only started 32 of those. One of the reasons we brought in McCrorie, Dickie, Roberts & Knight was to give us more squad depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
