Topram Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 53 minutes ago, David said: Agreed. Always feels like players either need to hang up their boots and try a career change, or they are going are going to the top and will play for England one day, never seems to be any balanced middle ground and understanding that we are a Championship side. Players have their flaws and will make mistakes. 100% they aren’t going to be the finished article, this deal could happen and Bryan could have a few bad games and he’d be in the same boat as fozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briz Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Could happen, we’ve got a ready made replacement in Bryan, with young Lloyd Kelly seemingly ready to come start more games, it’s just a question of how many can a 19 year old start in a team that’s going to have lot of ups and downs. It’s possible Forsyth could come in as back up and fill in when the pressure is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Forsyth, since he’s been here and at left back, in his very worst season was part of a defence that conceded fewer goals than Bryan in his very best season at Bristol at this level. It’s worth some consideration. I know Bryan is very good technical footballer, but I haven’t seen enough of him to know what he’s like defensively. Forsyth has been a good pro for us, injuries have meant he’s not been the same player in recent seasons, but Bristol could be getting a very good deal. Last season he just looked rusty, a bit of match practice and they could probably get a better player defensively. Forsyth’s ability on the ball has always been a cause for concern, however.

Also the fact that he has had no one in front of him to interchange with and cover him like Jamie ward and not to mention he was the one who constantly got the ball to Martin during MAC one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I am fairly confident that a swap is being talked about because we don’t want four left backs on the books and we can’t move Ollson on but personally I don’t think Bryan is a very good defender ( which should be the first priority) and a lot of his current popularity is because he scored a nice goal against one of the Manchester clubs last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was ball watching for their goal and should have been attacking the ball, rather than waiting for it. He's a young lad with plenty of skill and promise. At the moment he looks more like a very good left-sided midfield player, but with experience he should become a better defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowe shouldn’t have been left by himself to deal with their centre forward in the air. Davies should have been aware of the situation and dealt with it.

Abu Dhabi Ram Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 He is a young lad, who could be very good. He definitely has a lot of potential. Let’s support and encourage him rather than throwing the towel in after one game!!!! Some fans baffle me with their lack of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Would be a shame if this blocked lowe breaking through as he is a seriously good player, but it certainly is a risk to be relying on him the whole season tbf, he’s still young and naive at times. Bryan is a brilliant player and I can’t think of many better left backs to bring in, so if we can get him in and get rid of Forsyth at the same time I’ll be pleased, no way could Forsyth play in this side.

Wolfie20 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Some fans eh? They rightly complain that our squad is too old and we need to reduce the average age, in part by introducing the more promising players from our academy into the first team. Before these young, inexperienced players are brought into contention for first team selection, they say that we need to be patient and not be too critical of their mistakes because you can be certain that they will make mistakes - that's how they learn and develop. For some, everything goes out of the window after a mixed performance in our very first match of the season and they want to bring in a replacement, many who have never seen this potential replacement play other than probably one game last season at Pride Park. Makes me despair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
