Well well, finally proof that the Ghoul cocked up in the summer with his signings, with tommorows team to play Colchester anounced it is interesting to see the defence that is available and will play. Yes with the 2 Bristol loanee's (Amankwaah and Jones) ineligible to play (note they could be gone for good at the end of the month) we have a defence reading Bird (under performing, natural position midfield), Shane Duff (good defender yet off form), Jamie Victory (a left back not a centre back) and Graham Fyfe (a leightweight left midfielder nto a defender!). Well Mr Gould why did you not sign on any permanent defenders in the Summer when many good pro's were available on free's? However you decided to fill the team with midfielders, arguably are best equipped position!

Well tommorow night Mr Gould you will be pleased to know that alot of fans will be taking note of your comment to 'Fly Away' as only a very small crowd will turn up to watch the tripe on offer under your management, and those that are their will be barracking your clueless decisions, undoubtedly there will be many of them, remember when you took off Brough for Devaney when we were 3-1 up versus Swansea? Lunacy Mr Gould!

Another thing Ghoul next time we win a game (if we do) please dont say the person you arem ost pleased for is your bloody wife! Does she pay to come each week? Does she sit/stand there in the terrace baffled by the clueless idiot making decisions in the stand? NO! Next time we win say you are pleased for the fans! You need all the help you can get to win them over pal.

Why oh why do we announce the team before the day of the match? This gives the opposition time to know exactly who they will be playing against! Is it so the fans can then have a good 24 hours to fathom what the hell is going on in your mind? Talking about team selection why has Brayson suddenly been dropped again for the visit of Colchester? He played well in the second half versus Yeovil and versus Boston yet now doesn't make the starting line up!

Your lucky that many fans were conned into thinking you did a good job last season, however your mission when you came in with 20 odd games to go was to keep us up and you failed (note we weren't actually that far adrift of the safety zone) and the set of fixtures you faced were much easier than Mr Allner had to face. Now having been relagated UNDER YOUR MANAGEMENT you were set the target of finishing in a play off place, well it looks as though you are failing again.

Your actual awarding of contracts has baffled many also, why offer Cleverley and Dobson 1 year deals yet offer Bertrand Cozic (who impressed mnay pre season) only a 6 month deal? And also why does Cozic find himself starting one game and then the next not even making the bench? I ask you Mr Gould do you actually know your best starting line up?

Another question I would like to ask you Boby is what are your plans at the end of the month if Bristol City want Darren Jones and Amankwaah back? Do you have any players lined up or even being scouted at present as possible replacements for them?

Prepare for many Gould out protests in the coming weeks!
