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...

Why Cotterill was sacked

In the end, it was very sudden.  In a season where pressure has increasingly grown on Steve Cotterill for all sorts of reasons, an unknown combination of a lacklustre, exhausted-looking performance at home to Preston, an unsavoury altercation with an abusive ‘supporter’ at the end of that game, or perhaps a behind-the-scenes disagreement over transfer policy look to have ultimately curtailed his time at Ashton Gate. No manager these days can win just four out of 28 games in a season, be in the bottom three, and expect to be impervious to the threat of being sacked. But given such an incredulous level of success last season, Cotterill was surely closer than most to having a level of credit in the bank to be given until the end of the season? I share views with many as a general principle where I wish all clubs would give mangers more time to build, but the days of giving a manager the luxury of years of under-achievement, of the type Alex Ferguson enjoyed, resulting in a ...

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...

Up in smoke. England's Ashes tour 2025/26 review and player ratings

High on hope, low on delivery. England are heading towards yet another heavy away Ashes defeat, with an overriding feeling of frustration and annoyance at what could have been. Despite a largely woeful winter, it doesn’t feel like they’ve been too far away from having a chance of claiming a rare victory, which makes the scale of the failure all the more galling. Mitchell Starc and Travis Head have been the huge difference makers and deserve to be joint Men of the Series. Steve Smith delivered in Sydney, whilst Alex Carey has proven himself to be the world’s best wicket-keeper. Other than that, there hasn’t been a lot to scare England. Major Australian absences opened the door. Starc, and more latterly Scott Boland, have dragged their attack through the series. Thirty years of worrying about Shane Warne and Nathan Lyon ended with a complete lack of spin option. Other than Head, Smith and Carey, no Aussie batter averaged over 28. Ultimately, though, it was a series defined by brainle...
