headhunter Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 That side on paper at least is, man for man as good as any side in this division despite all the absentees - City, the Chelsea of Lge.1 !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 All we need now is a manager who can sort them out. ← surely a percentage of that comes down to the captain, something that has been lacking this season. This team should walk over Colchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the 2 so called rebels back aswell as Wilkshire, gives the side so much more balance, well done Tinman... Lets hope they all put in good performances and bring 3 points back to Bristol...

Rednready Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I don't believe its a good team on paper. Murray, Bell, have done nothing for 3 months. Doc & Coles have problems with the gaffer and likewise have not played at their best. Thats 4 out of 11 who might turn up and play......HOORAY. Then again they might replicate their last 3 months form, and give us another dud result. Proof...3 wins in 16 matches, due in part to only scoring 16 goals in 16 matches. Lets see if Brown and Wilks can create some net banging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted February 19, 2005 Admin Share Posted February 19, 2005 Coles for Man of the Match? No offers from Championship Clubs.....chance to shine in the 1st team......scouts possibly watching given his availability......me being cynical?

SUBS Heffernan Gillespie Cotterill Skuse Golbourne Injured Fortune Goodfellow Suspended Orr Tinnion Dinning Smith ← Why would Anyinsah be ignored behind Cotterill, Skuse and Golbourne when he has just been on loan to Hereford, been playing well, and was not allowed by Tinnion to go back? That's would be as stupid as sending players out on loan to teams like Swansea and Cheltenham (just came to me off the top of my head), recalling them and then totally ignoring them. Nobody would do that...............would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this best in the division stuff drives me nuts. Do some of you ever watch the opposition when they play us at Ashton Gate? Do you ever notice that other teams have quality players as well? Some of the teams in League One actually have some VERY good quality players. Frankly, some of these players (eg, Barmby!) are a heck of a lot better than the likes of Doc, Wilks, Murray etc. Our sub-standard midfield is the reason why we are struggling so badly this season.

We don't lack quality in midfield... we lack a regular midfield that has been kept the same for a substantial amount of time. Perhaps if Tinnion did not insist on changing things quite so often - our team would be used to playing with each other. He's the complete, extreme opposite of Wilson!

We don't lack quality in midfield... we lack a regular midfield that has been kept the same for a substantial amount of time. ← Not wishing to start an argument, but I disagree that we have sufficient quality in midfield. The fact is that our midfield has been below par for about five years now. We are generally good defensively, we never really seem to have problems finding or attracting quality strikers to the club, but we just cannot seem to get it right in midfield. I really hoped that Tommy was going to be the answer (our very own Roy Keane!) but that hope seems to have gone now. I agree that this season's tinkering has not helped, but the tinkering, in my opinion, is not the major problem. The major problem is the total absence of any quality or consistency from our midfield players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a good division, and you don't need an awful amount of quality. I see your point though, the likes of Murray and Doherty have not performed this season. But you have to question whether that is because they are rubbish or because of a managerial change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc - clearly got some personal issues to resolve. They may be connected with Tins becoming boss, or may be totally unconnected. Either way, he isn't the player he used to be (but he isn't rubbish). The biggest issue for me is Dinning - is he supposed to be our new midfield general? Because, if so, there really is no hope for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
