Duvel 2,446 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Why did we sign Shotton over Flint? No idea, we actually seemed to chase Shotten for ages aswell. He's getting to be another Guedioura I think it's pretty obvious why we went for Shotton over Flint. Shotton came in as a low-cost, experienced squad member. He wasn't brought in to improve the first 11. Guedioura's signing is nothing like Shotton's. Guedioura was brought in when we needed an attacking midfielder, someone to essentially replace Ramirez's spark in the team with him having practically given up playing for us. He was brought in to help appease the manager over the failed recruitment efforts of that transfer window. Shotton was probably one of our longer-term targets of the summer, one that would have been wrapped up much earlier had 'Arry been able to bring in Flint or another centre-back. I would have preferred to sign a player who could challenge Gibson and Ayala rather than a complete donkey who we are frightened of having to use. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Any streams for this one? Besides paying £5 for god awful content If you mean instead of iFollow, I don't believe this one will be on iFollow. Pretty sure live Sky games aren't on iFollow. A-ha, alright. Surely there'll be a livestream somewhere then. Thanks I'm using this one... http://cricfree.sc/watch/live/bristol-city-vs-middlesbrough-live-streaming Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 rgds Shotton, he was brought in for the formation we played at the start of the season. Clayton dropping deep, full backs high and CB's splitting wide. Right now he can't compete for the CB or RB role Link to post Share on other sites

Borobristol 6 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 At the match now in the home end. Good atmosphere, not many of the boro down but assume they will be in good voice. A lot of excitement this game. Come on the boro. Link to post Share on other sites

pikerman 1,089 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Our midfield starting to lose the battle, our centre halves being pulled out of position as our full backs are left upfield in no mans land, seems like a familiar pattern yes. Link to post Share on other sites

Adam P 300 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Traore on the left is such a waste, he will always come inside and that takes away the strongest part of his game which is hitting the byline. Link to post Share on other sites
