Mr Popodopolous Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Sykes had that little burst of goals around January to mid February- not a big goalscorer but could he have a target of 5-10 maybe? He got two suspensions the second of which was hard to fathom which will have disrupted his season a bit.

Popular Post IAmNick Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 Really disappointing. Game dragged so much it felt about 2 hours long for a start, and we noticeably took our foot off the gas after the 7th went in - if we keep that up in the league we'll be in trouble this year. Wells still can't get on the scoresheet which is a big concern, Scott took about 5m off his value with his poor attempts on goal, Vyner responsible for ANOTHER goal conceded, and Conway with a really lazy miss late on. Pearson needs to get into them ASAP. I know it's just pre-season but big issues already. 38 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is that City’s pre season results tend to be a bit like the pre match bit of the matchday thread on OTIB When everyone’s moaning about the team it usually means we go on and get a good result. And when everyone’s happy with the starting XI they let us down. Likewise, a good pre-season usually proves a false hope for a dismal season, whilst after a disastrous pre season we generally do well. On the other hand…..we’re doing things differently now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderwithtommy Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 That was nothing more, and possibly less, than a training exercise.

As someone who lives in West Swindon, this result is great. Regarding loans to Swindon, I wouldn't do it based on the experience that their fans will jump on any mistakes a City loanee makes,and I'm referencing both Kadji and Jonny Smith. They have to hide their jealousy because we don't even acknowledge them as a rival but it soon comes to the fore on any little failing City show/have, which is probably not conjusive to a player in his first taste of pro-level football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
