As it stands :-

Harry Lennon (CB)
John White (CB / RB) - Contract pending
Rob Kiernan (CB / CM)
Harry Kyprianou (CB / LB)- inj LT
Jason Demetriou (RB / RM / LB) - Inj LT
Elvis Bwomono (RB / LB)

Tim Dieng (CM / CB) - Inj ST
Mark Milligan (CM / CB)
Dru Yearwood (CM)
Sam Mantom (CM)
Michael Klass (CM)
Luke Hyam (CM) - Inj Indefinite
Isaac Hutchinson (ACM / CM / LM / RM)
Stephen McLaughlin (LM / RM)
Michael Kightly (RM / LM)

McLaughlin can also play left-back

Taylor Moore captains Bristol City’s first pre season friendly. Don’t know what to read into that.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

McLaughlin can also play left-back

Antony Straker was reputedly a left back.
To be fair he would have 1 in 3 or4 reasonable games.

 

[Chrisb]

As I mentioned on the Reading match thread, Kightly didn't appear to play in this game - anyone know if he is injured or perhaps on the move ?

I know most fans want these two replaced but it wont be happening by signing established wide men. We clearly don't have the budget to guarantee better players. We had Barratt in to give us options out wide.
You have to ask why these two were so poor.
Far more likely to be loans, sign a trialist or say Hutchinson stepping up.

That aside some of the opinions of Kighty and McL have been way over the top. I'm sure with a new beating hart in the middle of the pitch the wide men will have a better season......Well, McL at least.

As I mentioned on the Reading match thread, Kightly didn't appear to play in this game - anyone know if he is injured or perhaps on the move ?

He doesnt move much these days.

Taylor Moore captains Bristol City’s first pre season friendly. Don’t know what to read into that.

According to a fan on Twitter they played 3 teams for 30 minutes each. He didn't start the match so I assume he was on with other fringe players later on.

Move to another club would be nice!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

I imagine maybe Kightly is one that Bond will try and move on so that his wages can be spent on others. He was poor last season and won't get any better.

So why would he personally go anywhere he’s on good money with us for another year!!

 

[Ricey]

Hopefully Billericay come in for him.

Boredom conjecture and guesswork on Twitter

It can’t be based on Saturdays game. From what I’ve heard and can gather Southend barely touched the ball!!

They can sod off. That is all.

Evans apparently is after 4 more at Gillingham to take his intake to 13 ??!!, Gills currently brought in nine and lead the way on new signings. They are by far a wealthy club ! So how is it possible? It re-enforces the perspective that a Manager can make a huge difference in terms of bringing players in. Gillingham seldom do much more business than us , that is until Evans arrived.
Whilst there is much than can be admired about Bonds tight lipped approach, I think he could be a little more energetic when bearing the fans in mind, who will be here long after he is gone. The odd dozen words struggled for in the Echo doesnt quite cut it somehow

I'd imagine its VERY easy to sign free agents with little work nowadays. Fringe players will be desperate for the security of a contract for the following season. Just signing a load doesn't mean anything if they have no quality.
