Bristol City thread

[Aber gas]

No, I much prefer you being in at least a division below us.

You're lying to yourself comrade.

True, I preferred it when you were two divisions below us and a non league team.

Can't wait for Blackpool to get relegated to non-league tbh

How is Josh Brownhill getting on?

How is Josh Brownhill getting on?

I like him a lot. Not nailed down a starting spot just yet but has started a few games and looked very bright.

He's even been operated at right back this season (against Forest mainly) and did pretty well.

 

[JonBCFC]

Yeah I like the look of brownhill definitely, got quite a good centre mid options at the moment though so hasn't started to many games.. he did get mom a few weeks back against forest though

Ciderhead's been on the lash again.

I was 16 months old the last time The Gas were above us.

I didn't know I was interacting with spotty teenagers.

Fuck is that about

Of all people to quote you choose JJH who everyone knows is a teenager anyway.

Anyone else playing the new FM starting as City? Seems decent enough so far, given £5.5m transfer budget which I've spent pretty much solely on defenders, Mason Holgate, Jack Stephens and Jack Baldwin.

 

[JJH]

Hodge out

This isn't a democracy

 

[City169]

I've spent more time on my save trying to take Weston to the top of Europe using the W-M formation. Not going too well so far, 16 league games in, in the relegation zone and have lost 7-2 twice!
Got a City one that I made but not done anything on as well.

 

[hodge]

I haven't got a point with City yet 4 games in JJ may be right Hordur and Tomlin have been my 2 worst players and Tammy hasn't netted yet.

 

[hodge]

Soon as I post that I beat Villa, although I was 3-0 up at half time and conceded twice in 15 minutes after the break..... Still no goal for Tammy however Bobby and Engval are doing okay.

 

[hodge]

Flint having been out for a month injures himself on the first day back in full training lifting weights... ffs

Just gone on my City game for first time in about 10 days. Coincidentally I signed Jack Baldwin as well. My other signings were a Brazillian striker called Samuel and I also took a punt on Jamar Loza who was a free agent.
Only other transfer so far was getting Krystian Bielik on loan from Arsenal.
I offered Freeman a new contract but plan on selling him, new contract was just to get a better fee.

 

[hodge]

Yeah I've given Freeman a new contract as well, been decent off the bench for me/rotating with O'Dowda on the left wing. Spent my money before realising I should have signed Diego Poyet being a free agent, scout report came back good on him. Same position as O'Neil but he's been pretty useless, behind Brownhill now for me.

I'm finding playing 4411 on the counter both home and away is doing better for me. After no points in 4 games I swapped to this system and have 3 wins, a draw and 2 losses. One loss being to Rotherham despite being in control for large portions of it and Derby where I lost 2-1 again having chances to draw. Away from the drop zone for now and moving towards mid table.

 

[JJH]

Ciderup Grabban or Campbell, to answer your question!

 

[hodge]

Wonder if we may try and get Moussett on loan from Bournemouth

 

[City169]

I'm just about to play Rotherham and haven't won a league game!
Lost 4-2 away at Wednesday in the League cup 2nd round but really should have won. More possession, shots, better stats across the board, but all 4 of their on target shots went in (all in the first half at that) while despite 18 shots, we only had 1 clear cut chance.

Switched to 5-3-2 WB against Villa and was dominant again, but only drew.

Edit- 5-3-2 seems the way to go for me.
Since making the switch I've won 2 and drawn 1, scoring 9, conceding 1. Got revenge over Wednesday with a 5-0 demolition.

 

[TomPNE94]

I mean, you do realise there is a whole section for FM right?

 

[hodge]

Yeah but how long before someone moans it getting taken over with Bristol city related fm chat? Anyway I originally asked if any Bristol city fans had started with city, more likely to see it here than there.

 

[TomPNE94]

Nobody can moan if you're talking about Football Manager in a Football Manager forum. If they do, create a Desginated Bristol City FM Thread

Not moaning btw, was genuinely asking if you knew.

 

[Ciderup]

Ciderup Grabban or Campbell, to answer your question!

Isn't Grabban supposedly a bit of a trouble maker though?

How do you think we ended up with a designated Bristol City thread in here anyway

Talking about random Bristol City stuff in every thread going probably

tbf wasn't that random stuff, was more there being about 15 of us wanting to give our opinion on the same subject. Hence City related fm question going in here.

 

[hodge]

Someone posted this on OTIB, fair point asked, what would happen if we sold the game out considering where Sky have their cameras?

Is the upper Lansdown even open?

 

[hodge]

Doubt it, think we need to hit 20,000 for it to be open. Adam Baker put we'd sold 18,500 with potd available.
