Aye it's all pointless anyway. The tv money just pushes prices and wages up. Bit worried if something doesn't 'break' soon.

Lost 3-4 to Fleetwood tonight in an entertaining match. You may expect me to have a go at Flicker for naive tactics or getting wrong people in or whatever. But no, I pretty much think this is a bit of a learning curve for all of our defenders. This back four (bar Peter Clarke) won us promotion last season, so it's obvious the talent is there, we just need to adapt to the pace and trickery of League One and we should be fine. This will need time and I'm aware of that, I for one just hope that it does click at one point because with Leon Clarke we certainly have someone in who gets us the goals to do well in this league!

We lost away at Altrincham last night, 2-1. Their first "goal" was this, ffs.

It does fully go over the line (I think, although I am partially sighted and overdue for an eye-test) but its an absurd goal.

Don't think it does, but the linesman's got a tough decision to make. Too many bodies and ends up guessing, mind.

Drew with Brighton last night. Fair result. We were awful first half and a goal gown after 18 seconds. God only knows how they didn't add to it, but they didn't. And in the second half we came out, got a deserved equaliser and pushed for a winner. Both sides had good spells, both sides will be disappointed they didn't make more of them.

I did offer the caveat that my eyesight is terrible if that's anything. But it does look over fully at one point, although if I was a linesman in a standard position, there is no way I could be 100% sure it was over.

You can't really tell from that video angle but even so, how the linesman has given it I just don't know, there's so many bodies in the way. Utterly ridiculous and sums up the standard of refereeing we have to suffer week in week out.

Was 0-0 at the time of that "goal" too, but all ifs and maybes now. Got to say Altrincham produce some very decent match highlights and very impressed with that camera!

Andre Gray has turned down Bristol City.

More amazing the bid was accepted in the first place - where has the money come from?

The owner is a billionaire. Which explains why their colossal wage bill from when they got relegated (c.£30m) didn't put them in major trouble and why they've been able to rebuild the team whilst renovating the stadium.

I thought the billionaire owner of BCFC was seeking to offload or restrain his investment. Least that's what I heard when they were relegated to the 2nd tier two years ago.

Current evidence suggests otherwise! Although interestingly they've only signed one player so far (albeit for £2.1m).

Presumably success last year has re-ignited his interest. Funny that.

Meanwhile Gray has been linked with Burnley. Which seems more like the deal I was expecting. It must be annoying to be BCFC though if they're prepared to spend mahoosive cash and still not get the players they want/need.

Signed by Burnley! All seemed a bit sudden. Then again, they need a goalscoring striker, because Useless and Vokes are basically the same player (with only one being any good), Barnes is injured, Vossen is distinctly unproven and Ings has gone. £9m is daft money, though, especially for a player who has played only one season in the Football League in his career (not counting a few sub appearances at Shrewsbury at the very start of his career).

I don't know what Bristol City's infrastructure is like, but I don't think it helps that it's out in the back of beyond. It's not a London, a Manchester or a Leeds, that's for sure, so for a young man looking to make his football career it's probably not the most attractive spot. That said, Bournemouth attracted players last season, and that's a bit of an outpost in similar terms. Might also be that players don't take to Cotterill - he hits me as someone who you love or loathe on first meeting - and the club itself doesn't have a reputation as a place to go for young talent to develop. Still think they'll have a good season, though the longer they fail to invest for the less likely that prediction is to come through - if they don't make signings soon it'll be a League One squad, and even if they do make signings they might take time to settle.

Pretty sure its more money than Burnley spent on any player in the Premier League last year too. Though it probably helps them in case they were dreading he would score for Brentford in the game at Turf Moor tomorrow.

I think there's bigger issues in further west outposts (Exeter, Plymouth, Yeovil, etc) with the location thing, and Bristol as a city is not the worst place. But I do agree that compared with the likes of London or Manchester, its gonna struggle. Maybe its a case that they had too much faith in those who walked League One last year, but haven't made it Championship ready, or that Cotterill is not a Championship ready gaffer.

For those who like a bet, a few quid on us to go down next season might be worth a flutter.


You should still be able to get a decent price on this with only 4 games gone, but hurry!

Superb goal indeed.

And yeah. Presumably Sky is banking on them still having a big fanbase from their Champions League semi-final days.

We're (Sheffield United) being linked to signing Nathan Cameron from Bury.

Anyone know if he's any good?

He didn't really stand out against us last week in the cup, but then again, we didn't do anything worthwhile going forward anyway.

We were linked to Joe Lewis. Thank God, he's gone to Fulham instead. I'm not normally one to knock players who may sign and get behind them, but I've always thought he's a liability.
