Armstrong now flavour of the week😂 He's got a lot to prove Bill. Ideally you'd loan him for a spell and keep a weather eye on progress. Unfortunately, we are so impoverished for strikers that we can't do that. Mind you I'd sooner see him or the boy Kelman than Dykes, who out the door ASAP.

I would argue he’s got less to prove than just about everyone in that first team Hal He had 2 poor games where some fans decided he wasn’t even a footballer, where were Colback, Field and Chair when they were needed. Before that I would say he’s had a positive effect on just about every other game without scoring.

I have a sneaking suspicion we are finally going to see the best from this player under Marti, who will find the key to unlock his potential.

If he and Willock find form it’s going to lead to even more questions being posed of Ainsworth

I thought Marti made his subs too late. What was it, 82 minutes? Richards did fluff a great passing opportunity into the box, but I felt he needed more time to get up to pace. He also showed some of his potential with a run that took out a couple of their players and a few deft touches. It's there, he just needs more game time.

Said the same about timing of the subs.
Should have made them 10 mins earlier.
Didn’t think Richards was that bad when he came on tbh. I’d rather him than Colback or Dozzell tbh.

He'd be better if he could learn to sprint.
Looked shattered after 5 minutes.

He’s the laziest player I’ve ever seen on a football field when running is required.

I mean just once in 10 minutes would be good. Come on to make a difference and barely jogging anywhere isn't going to cut it, at any level.

It looked like Marti wasn't quite sure what to expect from Bristol City under their new manager Liam Manning.

I think from a psychological aspect putting Richards into the U21s might have a negative impact, especially since he's now featured twice for the first team. I think how Marti is handling it is the right way to do it. Richards is a technically skilled player and Ainsworth was probably the worse possible coach for him, not just in terms of how to manage that apsect, but also how to manage him mentally. Can you imagine how Richards responded to the Haka, empty the tank, we're the scrappy underdogs mentality that Ainsworth tried to instil? He needs to know, on a psychological level, that Marti rates him, I think this will bring him out of his shell. Westie, I thought Lumley was good with his feet, so I stand corrected. Something happened to him after he got that bash on the head, he was never the same keeper afterwards. But like Richards, maybe he can be rehabilitated under the right manager. Anyway, it's a moot point. But we really, really need a ball-playing keeper, Begovic is a liability, an accident waiting to happen, even though he's a good shot-stopper. very little is still known of richards but he could have an adel type personality. kind of guy that needs to be pampered and told how amazing he is for him to perform.

And partly why he didn't start on Saturday is he's STILL not fully fit (looked to be blowing out of his arse after 5-10 mins). Marti has just as much work to do on these aspects too.

I understand your point on Richard’s but it’s going to be an exceptionally big ask for the fans to not turn on him if he’s not 100% on his game almost immediately, Beale made a huge play on this point during one of his interviews on why he’s not being selected.

One winning goal changes all that😂

I really think there's a decent player in there. Some of his passing is so quick and sharp but need to see more grit and determination to win the ball back when we lose it.

Having watched the last 3 or 4 pre-match interviews with MC I find it very telling that neither Paul Morrissey, Ian McCullough nor any other journalist ever ask about Taylor Richards, and yet always ask about the fitness and injury progress of our other players. Indeed I find the silence deafening from both the club and media on this.
