GlynRiley Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Hi Wanderers Fans Bristol city Fan popping by in peace first of all , congratulations on your immediate return to the Championship - SOmeasy to get stuck in League One (as we know all too well ! ) Just thought I'd let you know about our experience with Aarron Wilbraham (And a view that's held by seemingly every supporter , member of staff and fellow players) This is the thread on our forum about his departure http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/187751-aaron-wilbraham-to-bolton-confirmed/ Consumate Pro - brilliant mentor and example to team mates A fantastic bloke Organiser of team bonding , days out etc Described by fellow players as probably the main reason we survived last year , by bonding and marshalling the dressing room He might be 37 but kept himself in great shape and still has all the knowledge and plenty of skills to play as a good old fashioned target man and a happy knack of scoring important goals He does have to have a very painful injection every few months (in his hip I think) to play but was rarely unavailable for us Quite simply epitomises the word PROFESSIONAL for a footballer Will be invaluable around the squad and in the dressing room whatever he delivers in game time Our loss is very much your gain - I promise He was undoubtedly our most influential player in our squad over last 3 seasons and has achepieved legendary status in that relatively short time Embrace him and appreciate him - a true diamond He could be your signing of the season Thought I'd pop in as on the face of it signing a 37 year old doesn't appear too inspiring Best of Luck for the coming season Edited August 4, 2017 by GlynRiley Quote

GlynRiley Posted August 4, 2017 Author Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) It's a Westcountry invasion. Reminds me of Rivals days. BTW. How's Bobby Reid getting on? hi genie Bobby Reid is our youngster whose next year is always going to be the one !!! last season he improved and pre season has been (Due to striker injuries) been playing as a second striker and notching a few goals could be his season to really push on but from previous experience he will probably be out the side by September !!!! don't fancy a straight swap of head coaches do you ?

GlynRiley Posted August 4, 2017 Author Posted August 4, 2017 Does he like salad then? Don't think Wilbs is a salad man Very fit bloke though !!! Wilbs pre match meal is a bagel , covered in strawberry jam and scrambled egg on top !!! (true) Quote
RoadRunnerFan Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) So he's our new Robbie Blake?Harsh. We're not in the Prem anymore and we are under an embargo. Edited August 4, 2017 by RoadRunnerFan Quote
Farrelli Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Cheers for the reference Glyn. He sounds like a decent bloke and very influential character. It should be good to have him around the place. Quote
Eavesy Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 So he's our new Robbie Blake? Yeah but can wilbraham take free kicks? Quote
MalcolmW Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Yeah but can wilbraham take free kicks? At 6'3" he should be receiving, not taking. Quote
Didledee Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 At 6'3" he should be receiving, not taking. At 37 and without injuries I doubt he'll ever see a free-kick. Quote
Blondi Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I don't like Bristol City, I've never forgiven them for twatting us 3 nil at Wembley in the Freight rover trophy back in 86 and even worse was their infamous CSF wrecking our salad bar! Quote

captainmed Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 While you're here........what are your thoughts on Mark Little ? Always preferred Eddie myself. Top entertainers in their day. Quote

Only if straight swap owners as well. Unfortunately work means won't get to see what he's enabled you to do to the Gate. Quote
GlynRiley Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 While you're here........what are your thoughts on Mark Little ? Physically strong, decent pace Wholehearted & Committed and loves to burst forward End product sometimes lacking and can appear 'clumsy' at times Defensively ''ok' Decent signing IMHO Quote
Duck Egg Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 I don't like Bristol City, I've never forgiven them for twatting us 3 nil at Wembley in the Freight rover trophy back in 86 and even worse was their infamous CSF wrecking our salad bar! With 2 of their goals coming from Mr Riley here iirc. They were one bloody big bogey side for us for years Quote
SoberDan Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Anither amazing singing think we will. Tear up this league this season Quote
