LightDN123 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 But this time we are unbeaten in 8 and could potentially still finish top half! and are a very hard team to break down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Another clean sheet, if you dont concede you can't lose, something to build on for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboogie876 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Great win and really solid team performance. Nice goal from Deyts. But what has happened to Harkins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Great win and really solid team performance. Nice goal from Deyts. But what has happened to Harkins?All players lose form. If he was consistent he'd be playing at a higher level. We got almost half a season out of him in good form, can't complain. Perhaps playing on the wing has taken more out of him than a normal run of twenty games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Teams are putting 2 players on Harkin now. He's a marked man. Whereas when we 1st got him he was an unknown. Edited April 26, 2014 by laticsrblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be an advantage as it should create extra space for someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT_SMASH Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Lockwood and Wilson are consistent but they aren't Wilson is very injury prone, that's why. His record is terrible. I would still not offer him a new contract due to it. 20072014 Bristol City 31 2008 → Brentford (loan) 14 2009 → Brentford (loan) 13 2013 → Cheltenham(loan) 4 2014 Oldham Athletic 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joncurtis199 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 While I'm naturally happy we will not be going down, next season will be our 18th in this season. Think about that for a second, someone can be born and become legal drinking age in that time. Says a hell of a lot for our consistency though.

Wilson was 18 in 2007. That is why he was loaned to Brentford, who were in league 2 then. I'm fairly certain he isn't injury prone, he's had a major injury, the sort where you are lucky if you play again in 12 months, think it was a cruciate, or a double leg break. That doesn't make him injury prone, in my eyes, that makes him unlucky. Factor in Bristol's form last season and the form this season, plus their numerous managerial changes, (think they've had 3 permanent managers since we got rid of Dickov), and that is why Wilson hasn't played much for Bristol City.

Agreed I like him a good solid defender who won't cost the earth thought he was excellent against Coventry won 9 out of 10 headers plus we could get a few years out of him. Aslong as we have a couple of defenders around him who can bring the ball forward to play next to him he will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I think we're seeing a real partnership developing. They know each others games, they complement eachother well and they don't fanny about on the ball. We used to gift-wrap goals for fun over the last few seasons. Very little has been gift-wrapped with these two at the back. If we don't start next season with these two as the pairing I'll be gutted.

I dont expect anything from an 18yr old. I thought it was common knowledge he had quite a bad time with injuries up until 2012. "Wilson, 22, was handed a four-year deal by former manager Gary Johnson and earmarked as one for the future before his progress was interrupted by a number of injuries." That was from the Bristol Post. He was also injured this season at Bristol early doors, hence Not being in the side.
