The Bristol Nest

team news?

Maybe baggy fit genes may suit the more mature scrotum....

Alex is very honest in his interviews which certainly leaves room for a critical response. The comment about league two tactics being another.

Heart - massive response from the boys and a solid 3-1 win Head- potential big loss, nastiness and a lot of booing.. That''s why I follow my heart.

He is another future regular who already looks the part. Brilliant.

Brady could be swapped for Wes ,Pritchard or Naismith Howson in front of the DFMs

Probably not but here goes. Ruddy Pinto Martin Klose Olsson Howson Thompson Mulumbu Jacob M Brady Oliveira

A bit rushed but you get my drift...

We won''t beat Villa if AN keeps doing the same thing every week as discussed elsewhere. Our stats suggest that against the bigger teams we will give up too much defensive territory for them to get behind us too often with the same negative results. I want to see the DMF position nailed down with more discipline and aggression. Play your best left back as well. I also think that we also miss Martin at centre back but at some point we have to have a settled back line. Then we can let the pretty stuff flourish up front. If we keep leaving the defence exposed then we will come out with very little in the next two games.

excellent

I winced at that as well.

Hodgson with our under 21 coach working with him?

Oh dear. Same mistakes ,same tactics, same defensive fragility throughout the team. Definition of madness? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Barnsley are not going to know where to look. If I was a home fan I would be concerned. Very concerned.

Vindaloo indeed. We have basically four wingers !

Very attacking. Dorrans has to be disciplined in front of the defence. I didn''t expect both twins. This could be a rugby score....

I can do hyperlinks on email but not on here as there is no insert button that I can see.

Well that didn''t flucking work.

The technical deficit seems to be most obvious in the attacker/ winger kind of player as the pace and skill is obvious but so is the lack of nous when in a dangerous area.

Excellant thread. Parma, have you swallowed a dictionary? I particularly enjoyed your use of tessellate less so schizophrenic. Really good discussion which actually gets to the root of our problems whilst (unusually) offering solutions. Would Hodgson as director of football be a wise move? Is Thompson the eager to please answer to our defensive issues? The squad is big enough imo. Do you think that AN does not know or understand the ideas discussed in this thread?

Spoke to him recently at my local gym as he spotted the norwich shirt in my bag. Lovely chap who just loves playing.

He is an intelligent footballer who is struggling with the "in coming !" from championship sides. Parma was right when he suggested that the DMF position was exposing the centre halves when they are covering the full backs.

A midweek game would have been nice.

Cheers Ricardo. Well written and positive. Great stuff.
