EXCLUSIVE - The Sean O'Driscoll interview on The Cider Diaries (Pt 2)

I hope you enjoyed the first 45 minutes of 'The Cider Diaries' EXCLUSIVE interview with Bristol City Head Coach Sean O'Driscoll, aired last night? It was certainly popular, with downloads incredibly outperforming all other editions inside just three hours, and we had some great feedback via Twitter and the forums.

In this second episode Sean relaxes even more and talks more about the disastrous performance at Wycombe as well as Joe Morrell's debut and what could lie ahead for this "exciting" talent who is "a cocky bugger". He also gives a warning story about Joe Cole which goes some way to explain why he's always honest with players and discusses why he shows the team footage from Bayern Munich's best performances.

EPPP and the Academy get a good airing and Sean raises the question about what will happen if someone comes in with a bid for the likes of Joe or Bobby Reid, especially after the latter's performance at Premier League Southampton.  

We ask him to explain the word 'Transition' which he admits "I've spouted it a lot", playing three up-front, Frankie Fielding and he also gives an insight into what he spends his Saturday night doing...

Ten days is a long time in football...the new era is dawning

The last couple of weeks has been quite a period in Bristol City’s long history. It’s been chaotic, troublesome and concerning. There’s been anger and abuse (more on that later), antipathy and arguments. And, as is the way with football, things tend to move very quickly. There is now more than a murmur of excitement (not quite full-blown, mind) and significant nodding of approval at the choice made by the club this week. In between all of this City won a game of football, albeit against a team bottom of the league playing with ten men for most of the match. But they won, and got three points and moved back into the top half of the table. Underperforming and not where the club wants to be…? Margins are fine, that’s for certain. So, what has been learned, with the announcement of Liam Manning as Head Coach on Tuesday and what myths do need to be busted? Firstly, the club communications are like Jekyll & Hyde. The engagement pieces, insight videos and some of the fun nonsense

Bright Knight of the City

  The lesser-spotted blog post... The string of summer signings has inspired the first post in a year, with a focus on new £2m(ish) signing, Jason Knight. He has been likened by some to Korey Smith, his former team-mate at Pride Park, whilst his high-energy approach has been praised widely. To get the real lowdown I spoke to avid Rams fan, Cory Hancock , of top Derby pod Ram's Review .                                                    Picture from Bristol City www.bcfc.co.uk  Tell us about Jason Knight. What type of player are we getting? An energy player who will run all game long. Knight’s engine is second-to-none. He will run hard for the team and do the work of two players. That’s not to say he runs around like a headless chicken, but he will go box-to-box for 90 minutes. He’s also a solid and consistent performer who rarely lets the side down. He’s played a few different positions, I think most expect him to be straying centrally for us as one of two holding midfielders. Woul

Bristol City: Our Greatest Team to the Ashton Gate Eight

Back in 2014, I was invited by the Two Unfortunates website to write about Bristol City's greatest team. It was a story which, of course, ended ultimately in the story of the Ashton Gate 8. Since the site of the original post has long since gone, here it is republished in full. "Eight players with more than 80 years at the club and more than 2,000 appearances between them, cast aside as unwilling saviours" Sometimes, events occur that make you realise your true standing in life. When the emotional mask of expectation is removed and those rose-tinted spectacles are lowered onto the brow of the nose, you can realise that things aren’t quite all they seem. And so it was for me, a lifelong Bristol City fan, when I was asked to talk about our greatest ever team. For when it came down to it, there was only one real choice. One genuinely great team that I could write about even in the perspective-bending world of football and this was one I hadn’t even had the privilege of seein
