    I know Oxford were in L1 when we played them in the cup but online, one of their fans said Shit, we are playing Brazil.

    Robins

    We have to have a wage cap. We simply cannot compete with the relegated clubs that have parachute payments and those like Hull that are funded by rich owners. Surprised if King is happy with performances on the pitch, but he is the man making the decisions. MR can ask for players and recommend...

    In Defence

    Norwich had one shot on target deflected into the net. Think our problems are further forward.

    Too many COOKS spoil the broth

    Firstly, it is way too early to judge the new coaching staff. If we are seriously shit at Christmas, questions have to be asked regarding recruitment, coaching and tactics. They may be collectively better than Adi. We will have to wait and see. Adi's record says he is a top successful coach...

    I thought MR started off with his regular assistant who had to retire due to health problems. Can't remember how many games they were together at the City before Adi came in.

    I've made it clear that I am a massive Vivash fan and expressed my concerns that anyone who replaced him would have to be as good if not better. That said, the last two seasons we started really badly and that happened when Adi was here. The CBS pitch debacle didn't help two years ago. Think how...

    OK, what is an eight?

    Victor Torp

    I really hope Torp is not a one season wonder. He was bang average apparently until a brilliant season at his old club before we bought him. Adi (am I allowed to mention him) said his ultimate position will be as a forward behind the strikers. I do think it is still too early to write him off...

    Think we will play our second team. Hope Oxford do the same.

    Really can't remember O'Hare putting in a performance that bad but will be happy to be corrected.

    Bristol Player Ratings

    Overall, we were pants today. Stoke two, the return against a better side. Lucky not to lose. We have been found out playing wingers, as the other sides flood the midfield and make our central players look poor and get outnumbered on the ball. That said, there was a lack of tackling in midfield...

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    Will be tougher than the cup match as Bristol have a very good first choice team. We simply cannot afford to start like we did at Stoke and we need to cut out the mistakes at the back. No predictions. Depends which Cov team turn up.

    Transfer Rumour Norman Bassette

    injuries scuppered him not ability.

    How much did Cov spend on transfers in the Premiership years?

    Bad move giving Ron Atkinson any money. He spent a bomb and we were no better.

    Lets throw in some local connections. 2468 Motorway was written by a bloke from Nuneaton. The non Fairbass member of Right Said Fred was from Nuneaton. Actually, either or one of those my have been from Beduth, can't exactly remember. A Message To You Rudi was covered by the Specials. Take...

    Dovin had no chance with the goals. Great distribution. MVE played really well and scored a great goal. Hadji Wright was awesome but should have tried a shot on occasions when he tried to dribble in the area. MOM. Simms had an assist for us and them. Worked hard but had a bit of an off day. Torp...

    EFL Cup 2nd round draw

    Yes but we never lose at Wembley in normal time. Don't count the Community Shield.

    Was Roland Nilsson our best ever Right Back ?

    And was MOM at Wembley IMHO

    Leadership

    Successful teams always have someone who can identify when something is going wrong and make adjustments on the pitch. Players that lead by example. That usually comes with experience, but you sometimes get an old head on young shoulders. I think there is a reason we tried to get Browne or...

    Bristol City Player Ratings

    Coventry second choice players against Bristol second choice players (in the main) until our subs changed it completely. Taking into account they were at home, overall we edged it, but only completely after the changes. That said, in the first half, they were going through our midfield like a...
