Someone told me just before the game that we hadn't won an opening game away from home since 1972/73 season or something similar

I was also at that 4-1 defeat at Walsall, that was a surreal day. We won the next 5 in a row after that though.

New players gelling is definitely a problem for all our new defenders. Hoping it will be Hoefkens, Barnett, Cesar and Tininho all playing against Bournemouth tomorrow so they can play together.

Ipswich fans make you laugh, last season they was like Jeffers is great and all that. As soon has he rejected them it changed to ' He's ****'

We were lucky, but dont call us Bristol its Bristol City, I dont want people to get us confused with that joke of a team of the other side of town.

Sorry, should know better as my best mate is a City fan!

True. Not convinced he was worth even that when we sold him though.

We should have taken Leeds cash I guess. Still, we did sell Peacock to the Toon for loads, so we win :thup:

Tricky Trev was brilliant for us. Played in the world cup. He probably stayed with you too long

I was at that Walsall game aswell; it was horrible. Made even worse as most of my family are Walsall fans. Apparently Robbo is playing tonight at left-back as he seems to accept hes not going anywhere.

Our bid for Chris Brunt has been accepted. Not sure if we need him to be honest, but he looks a quality player.

[retired_edsel25]

I keep reading Everton are in for Brunt too though so dont know how much chance WBA will have of getting him if both bids are accepted

[retired_cmartin281]

So much for saying Brunt wants to improve himself by playing in the Premiership.

Would like to know how our board will spin this one "oh, Chris wanted to improve himself by going to a team that finished, errrm, 5 points above us last season....****"

[retired_pnkbttrflis]

He is, seemed to have got rid of his inconsistecy a lot last season as well. Any news on your side about the fee? Hoping for 3m, or what we should have been after anyway.

Reason we gave for pulling out of contract talks was that (iirc) he wanted to play at a higher level though.

If we don't get £3million+ i'll be gutted
