chelloram Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 He's not a Warne type player is he, but he's so much better than Collins ......even now. We really are low on options and he's an intelligent clever player which the wingers and Knight can run off and will also win free kicks etc as he's always done??. Comparing Collins to Martin and saying they are similar does Martin such a disservice, the ball bounced off Collins so much the other night ?. They are at different levels. Its not going to happen though, let's be honest even though I think short term it actually makes sense with our lack of alternative options at the moment.

Obviously living in Bristol I’m lucky ?enough to speak to lots of City fans and they are delighted to be finally rid of him. Immobile and sulky are words used. I loved CM at Derby but I’m not sure we could accommodate him in the current squad. I’m worried he would get frustrated and start gobbing off.

I would have said not playing or being involved would annoy most players - most of what I read of the Bristol city fans view points obviously to a lack of pace but not about anything negative in terms of anything else and whilst they have had 3-4 younger forwards come through their reserves to add to their options and clearly they want his wages off the books whilst they also say he would be a great signing for a league one club - I don’t disagree and we are a league one club with only two centre forwards who can’t play all the games we have RoyMac5 and Steve How Hard? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely feel sorry Weimann because he can do a job elsewhere he gets shunted around the team to fit someone else in for the benefit of the team but not his benefit - we did the same when he was here and we have done the same to Jason Knight RoyMac5, Steve How Hard?, RadioactiveWaste and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the type of player he is, there's always going to be fans that hate him - they want a player who runs about like a madman kicking things, where as Martin has always been a "don't need to run if you're already standing in the right place" type of player. bcnram, Mucker1884, Steve How Hard? and 3 others 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like that as wants to come home silly. Sure Fozzy has been sharing PW's funny whatsapps and told him about the goal mugs. Cant pay agent fees but can Fozzy get a recruitment bonus?

He makes himself available for a pass unlike the current number 9, and so long as he receives the ball somewhere between his big toe and chin he will control it. He knows where his team mates are whereas the team do not know where our current No.9 is for much of the time. Probably not a Warne type player though - shame. angieram, RoyMac5 and Steve How Hard? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 We need a more direct replacement for McGoldrick's link up play than anything else. It's not as if McGoldrick does much pressing. He just chooses the times to do it. When you have the wingers and Knight buzzing around you, and Hourihane lurking around the edge of the box, you don't need to be a pacy forward to bring the best out of them.
