The difference with pirate is that he clearly takes a wide-ranging interest in all youth development across this country and beyond, which naturally would include taking in knowledge about City's development squad. There's a difference between that and posting a thread mocking City because their youth team lost a match. Frankly I don't care that much if our development squad loses, let alone if theirs does. But that's only my opinion. Spot on Jomo. I watch a lot of non-league football and my second team have taken at least 5 or 6 of their players on loan from them this/last season and I've noticed several others join clubs at the same level. I always keep an eye on their development squad through The Post and elsewhere to keep an eye on players that I have monitored/recommended previous to them joining City and to keep an eye on the progress of former loanees at my second team. My interest in the Forest game was more about how Arvin Appiah and Brennan Johnson got on for Forest, a couple of players I wouldn't have minded us taking on loan. I completely get what you're saying Pirate, and without blowing smoke I read your players and development reports with extreme interest. It looks like I chose a bad subject to points score but sometimes when it comes to them I can't look a gift horse in the mouth. Nothing personal... I think this thread is done.. Cheers

The whole point isn't "their youth team lost a game." The whole point is the team that played included players like Taylor, Palmer etc. Who are Championship standard who lost to a youth team in Nottingham Forest. Also found it hysterical saw a few City fans quoting the lineup going "Give the lads a chance" and "Nottingham Forest are going to get demolished." Only for them to lose 4-3. All it proves is they've blown countless millions on players that couldn't beat an U23 side. I'll also point out they'd be the first to mock us if we lost to an U23s, even if it was Chelsea. But i'm not questioning their ability to produce players, I'm mocking how many of their first team players lost to an U23 side

Also they're an obsessed bunch for a team with a supposedly much larger fanbase and a much bigger club than us. 968 pages on their forum about us in 3.5 years. If what they said about us was true they'd treat us like Forest does County or Stoke does Port Vale.

That is, obviously, largely ignoring them because they're confident about it.
Their post had some pretty funny points though, like someone trying to justify the Forest loss as they played 2 good players and a player who was an international for Mali. MALI. Gosling was an international for Gilbratar, didn't stop him for being pretty sh**.
"They need to slag off our Under 23's as our kids are much closer to their level." I was slagging off the fact a lot of players who could easily make your first team lost to an under 21 side.
"And they care enough to know those are all first team squad players! I am not sure I can name ONE of their first team, let alone the whole squad." Anyone else sense a tad of irony? Implying i'm an obsessed fan as he comments on a post with 968 pages in 3.5 years.

Very good week so far with Rovers beating a top team in League 1 4-0. But Bristol City just fielded a team that included the snake, Kasey Palmer, O'Leary, Eliasson, Smith, Baker, Watkins and Adelakun in their U23s and managed to lose 4-3 to Nottingham Forest U23s. Unlucky da sh** x Has definitely been a good few days. Just for balance on that reserve match the Dunderheads played in, that was the well known show jumper Harvey Smith aged about 10 rather than their sicknote midfielder Korey and those Forest "lads" included a couple of players that cost even more millions in transfer fees each than their shithead counterparts plus some internationals. As a sidenote for the older fan, anyone miss the football combination? Such a sham calling matches "U23" when there are so many older experienced players involved, and those old school reserve matches meant a lot more. Apologies for the Smith mistake, but apart from Carvalho, Gomes, Wague and Ansarifarad who were playing? With players like Taylor, Palmer, Eliasson, Baker, Watkins and Adelakun. You should be beating that team, especially when their academy is supposedly so great and Forest haven't produced anyone of note in recent years (that I can remember). Was also a bit optimistic to call Blackpool a top team, but to beat a team 4-0 that sits in 9th place, a team who drew away at Charlton, Sunderland, beat Portsmouth away. Both their heaviest defeats of the season have come against us.

I would struggle to name many of their players to be honest with you. They aren’t the household name giants that they think they are.
