Terrible news. A real pioneer in the changing times of football, and a real ambassador for the midlands. Thanks Cyrille.
-
The last three games this guy has been playing out of his skin. The assist for Hogan last night was pinpoint. I have particularly enjoyed reading the opposition forum’s reactions to his drawing of fouls. Top guy, hope he stays whatever happens.
-
Good stuff tonight, really got a steel about us. Bruce has weaknesses as a manager, but defensive assuredness is not one of them. We are more organised than we have been for 4 years.
-
I think that side minus Terry and Kodjia is perhaps the strongest XI we have on paper. I would like to see that side press for a win today.
-
You just know Bruce is gunna do something daft like a three cb formation here to accommodate Terry and Elphick alongside Chester. Im wary of this fixture, hopefully a case of ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ for Forest.

I get the impression word got to Tony that fans were uneasy at his previous tweet. I like the more irregular updates he provides now, they carry a bit more weight when he posts - whilst they are still regular enough to not leave us thinking he’s doing a Lerner. -

I hope Tony hasn’t lost faith. Couldn’t blame him if so. -
Agree we should, I think we are okay for keepers though. in seriousness I think we would be set with an experienced striker to help us out, otherwise I don’t see much desperate need for loans.
-
Young Irish striker called Gary Goals looking for a club, guarantees goals. We need to promise him game time though. Probably need him judging by our back up strikers performances.
-
I’m genuinely not bothered about today’s result. A replay was the scenario I feared. Win next week and all forgotten.
-
Will never forgive how he damaged the club at key points of his tenure, and his random Trump-esque claims are often farcical, but I don’t doubt he loves the club. Happy birthday Doug.
-
Pleased for his goal, and feel it could be the start of a run. He looked really hungry yesterday. I may well have been premature in my judgment of him.

Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Bristol City
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth replied to limpid's topic in C:Bristol City h
Did that happen before his heavy tackles or after? I’d be annoyed if before, he was a good pro for us. -
Bruce seems to always get a result when he is on the verge. If we continue to win after this result, then we cannot complain. Well done today Steve. I’m not fully convinced you are the man for the required job, but I’m more convinced than I was at 2pm today.
-
I know it’s raw after watching a game, but I just feel like we are treading through super glue. We are a nearly Team. I feel it’s time to change.
-
I agree service is poor, but 1goal in 12 months is very poor by anyone’s standards.
-
He’s just not that good is he?

In fairness to Tony he always said that Villa was part of Recon’s plans. I suspect a hugely successful villa would compliment his Birmingham redevelopment plans better than a failing one. Tony must have invested a sizeable amount of cash in fairness - we were a financial blackhole before relegation. -
Technically Neymar was also a free transfer, he bought himself out of his contract with Barcelona (albeit with Qatari cash).
-
Think you’re right, Terry is great with his feet and our whole build up has suffered for it. Johnstones distribution was awful but that was mainly because he had to resort to punting forward for Davis.
-
Just a note for those of us travelling by train tomorrow, especially from the west country. Crosscountry trains have strike action tomorrow so there’s a really disrupted service beyond Bristol.
-
Stan Petrov was the first I have a feeling.
-
What a player he has been for us over the last two seasons. Such a classy centre half.
-
I tend to agree. We really were a shambles. I never really bought into the losing culture thing that Bruce talked about, but it is true. I just get the impression that a loss to the current side would hurt them. Sheff Weds match case in point - we bounced back strongly.
-
Do you think we are a better side now than we were 3 years ago? Genuine question, I've been thinking about this for a week or two now.
