Ex Player Ex-Player Thread

“It’s hard to think of a signing in recent Bristol City history who has fitted in so seamlessly as Atkinson… The fact the 23-year-old looks every inch a Championship-level defender after one full League One season with Oxford United makes you wonder a) just how good he can get and b) what exactly were clubs missing prior to that. Atkinson delivered another fine display, offering impressive evidence of both aspects to his defending. There were some crucial interceptions and powerful headers, either from dead-ball situations or in broken play, plus the customary composure of when to hack it clear and when to play it on the deck to a teammate”

But some on here will still try and tell you (now that he’s not our player) that he isn’t even that good, and that we have upgraded massively with Thorniley 🤔🙄
 
Rob Atkinson doing well at Bristol City

As soon as we sell a player some on here remember them as being about half as good as they actually were.
 
I’m really happy Atkinson is doing so well hopefully we have a sell on clause and next summer Bristol sell him for a tidy sum
Atkinson and dickie could make us some serious money hopefully other than that they are both ex players
