Don't ask me why, because considering I never watch a ball kicked in anger, but there's something different about what's going on with Bristol City. I see a more resilient and better equipped team than for many years and that has to be based on our new manager, et al, and the summer business that was done essentially with a few bob and a packet of crisps. The mix seems to be a better blend with much more exciting stuff on the menu and I wish I could be there to sample the revamped stadium and to smell the possibilities. Yet again today we overcame a deficit to take the three points and move on to the next task in our season of endeavour. Getting back to the feeling in my water, I just have this sneaking dream that takes us where we have never been before, and when I look at the likes of Bournemouth, Swansea and the other supposedly less fashionable clubs that have made it to the Premier League, I ask myself why not us? Will this be the season of our contentment or will we fall away as has been our constant headache over the years. Time alone will tell but I just can't forget my water and the dreams and until such time as someone tells me to wake up I shall continue down the path my team have chosen. P.S. Well done everybody at Bristol City, and yes this really is that moaning old sod from Vancouver Island so don't concern yourselves in regard to your heart.
My water tells me we are near the urine-drinking stage about now Not joining in with the 'ahaas' then Percy ?
Lets just enjoy it while the feeling is good and the squad seems to have the right mindset. There will inevitably be setbacks, but I'm starting to believe that we will become a real force to be reckoned with in this division in the fullness of time.
We had "setbacks" pre determined before season started and overcame 1 of the 3 AND GAINED 3 POINTS Hindsight will say v Rotheram / Sheff we dropped 4/ 5 points but 17 from 30 is safe. the next 4 of 10 games is the real acid test ...looking at "form" we should muster at least 10 points the next 6 of that 10 a lot harder but teams we should take at least an average of 2 points from... we will know then will be be capable of the top 6 .....
