    I would say historically Drinkwater, Steele, Lumsden and Chopra were fantastic, but certainly in recent history O'Grady and Long have been exceptional. Gutted Long is leaving.

    Long has to be up there amongst the best loan signings in our recent history.

    he's speaking based on his time at the Club. i wouldn't expect him to start reeling off players from 10 and 15 years ago, that he's got no idea about. the piece is about praising kevin long, and thanking him for commitment you rarely see from loan players.

    nice words ben. fair play.

    From what I've seen thus far Brownlee could soon be in the exalted company already mentioned.

    Apologies, I read it as the best loan signing in Ben Mansford's era. I'll get back to work.

    Long's the best defender we've had at the club since John Stones.

    Wasn't he kept out of the side by Hassell and Wiseman?

    I'd like to think that the club have loan defensive targets pencilled in to join us once Long goes back to Burnley.

    i don't think we're ****** like. he's still only one player, and our pressing everywhere else has taken a lot of pressure off the centre halves. big opportunity for robbo to step up. i think he's got it in him, it's mebbi just consistency he needs to work on.

    i'm expecting to see long at ashton gate on monday morning..

    I think Roberts would benefit massively from playing in a settled side. When he last had a chance Johnson was chopping and changing every game and it affected him

    tend to agree. even long was hit and miss in his first few games. we've got a settled XI and formation now and everyone knows their jobs. alfie has improved massively alongside long as well, so i'm hoping he can just slot in. if we get the robbo that played against everton, i think we'll be fine. plus that throw is like a missile..
