Bristol City v Port Vale

[BCFC David]

I wouldn't rest both of them at the same time. Didn't look as good against Fleetwood missing both of them!

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Eugh, some comments from other teams' fans on this forum can get so tiresome.

I've come into a match thread to see how City and Vale fans are feeling about tonight's game and instead get inundated with a load of nonsense. If you all want to make a thread about it, feel free, but leave it out of here. It'll sound like I'm a bore and just moaning for the sake of it, but I had to go through practically two pages of it, with only the rare comment about the actual match!!!

Come on City, let's get the job done over the next three big home games. Starting with tonight. COYR.

Tavernier for Little.....could see Waggy meself!

Team that started second half against Bradford, same awful back four bar Veseli and Birchall starts. Cult hero Achille Campion starts his first game and after playing 1 up top at home to average and poor league one sides we go two up top away to the leaders.

Couldn't make it up!

 

[Redcityman]

Please sir may I have my ball back it's not fair that they allegedly pay more to their players than we can for ours because were so tinpot.

 

[valefan16]

To be fair whilst of course Bristol City's finances are the main reason why they will waltz to the title Raven Bish has a short memory of Notts County's last promotion and how that came about in terms of what County were paying their side in comparison to their opponents!

 

[valefan16]

Birchall heads a sitter over! Got to take chances Vale as we won't get many!

 

[Hurrikeen]

Try not to get too giddy Bristol City fans.

We may be 2-0 up over Swindon after 10 minutes but it would, without doubt, be typical Latics to let this slip and lose, let alone draw.

Pretty sure cotts made a comment saying that we are using 60% of our allowed budget, and personally I am more likely to believe the person at the club that the chairman of a different club.

Will try and find the quote, but the fact that all this is brought up time and time again is rather annoying

Edit- not the quote i was looking for, but this was from Cotterill after the scunny game last month

“I think our budget gets mixed up with the players we can potentially purchase. I’ve always said how lucky we are that we’ve been able to go out and purchase the players we have thanks to Steve Lansdown. However, that’s not part of our budget. What gets lost is when we sold Sam Baldock, we were able to cover for all our purchases and have some change. I don’t know why teams have to start talking about our budget…it’s not the biggest. I imagine we’ll be up there, but certainly not the biggest. I think it’s important to put the record straight sometimes when people talk about things when they don’t know the facts. It’s more fiction.

1 down sounds harsh on us so far.

 

[old parkender]

JET!!!

 

[Ciderup]

1 down sounds harsh on us so far.

Very much so by the sounds of it but we'll take it!
I'm stuck at home as my Mrs had an op today and I jumped so high when JET scored she nearly needed another one.

 

[JonBCFC]

Stuck at home babysitting, but...

 

[valefan16]

Think heads will drop and we will get battered now. Unlucky not to score then seconds later conceed. Typical Vale.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Less than 3 conceded would be a good result.

 

[TTOCS]

One of our worst first half performances of the season.

Thankfully the crowd backed the team through it and JET scored out of nothing. Good job Birchall cant finish,

 

[valefan16]

Glad to get to half time as sounds like heads have dropped and we've rocked a bit. Would have taken 1-0 at this stage and if we can stay in it for as long as possible then you never know but a huge ask now. Sounds like Birchalls had a few chances and Marshy nearly scored just before the goal. Sounded like the usually reliable Neal made a hash of it.

Matched them so need to regroup and go again.

He used to when he made the World Cup Finals but since hanging out with his pal Becks he's seemingly gone downhill and put on too many pounds.

 

[JonBCFC]

2-0 Bryan. Deflected in.

 

[valefan16]

Fluke goal, not getting much luck like the Barnsley game by the sounds of it.

Onto Walsall we go.

 

[Ciderup]

2 nil!!
Doobie doobie doo

Sing it out Tim!!!

 

[Ciderup]

Sing it out Tim!!!

I'm on it mate, the Mrs is not too happy tho!

 

[Alex_BCFC]

Pretty comfortable here. Marshall is only decent player for Vale. Game over.

 

[Ciderup]

3 nil. Sounds harsh on Vale to be fair.

 

[valefan16]

3-0 time to go Page. Duffy cock up when he shouldn't even be in the side.

Commentary team has been complimentary towards you to be fair, expect your heads dropped after the 2nd though.

Not really. They had a few half chances at 0-0 but that's it.

It'll be more down to a below par performance from you than us playing well. Duffy has been a liability yet he keeps him in central defence, moves the impressive Veseli to right back where he's out of position and sticks with Dickinson. We ship goals yet he sticks with the same back four.

Yates - Robertson - Veseli - McGivern easily the best back four we have. Can't recall the last time we played it!

 

[Ciderup]

Not really. They had a few half chances at 0-0 but that's it.

I'm only going by radio Bris bud and bow to your superior view as you are there!
