The Official Bristol City v Barnsley Match Day Thread

[Midlands Robin]

How the **** can we be such a binary team? We either look class or absolute shite, sometimes even in the same game. Its bizarre and nothing I've ever experienced in 25 years of watching City.

[Garland-sweden]

Still 45 left and we can win this. Tomlin Djuric?

[Bat Fastard]

Young mobile hungry footballers - they have embarked upon the same youth policy as us but are a year or two further into the process! Is the ref a Northerner?

I reckon LJ is

Definitely tactical flaws at the moment, no width 

How many times have I said that...

It's not tactical, it's nerves and individual poor performances all round.

[WolfOfWestStreet]

Pack Brownhill and  Smith all mess

Worst ref I've seen down here. But let's be honest, they have played us off the park so far. Odowda needed for taylor I reckon. He's been awful. 

We need a goal mate. I know Taylor has been disappointing but O'Dowda has gone all season without scoring.

Pretty sure he is.

Forest 2-0 

[Dastardly and Muttley]

Forest 2 up

[Rossi the Robin]

Watch good sides, they play with full backs pushing on

No width, it's like we were playing for a point 

[cityexile]

Let's hope for better this half.

One Blackburn goal away from meltdown...

It really does make you wonder doesn't it ? Conspiracy theories I am usually sceptical of, but ...,,,,

We have to get at least a draw. Depending on other results we may need to go to the team looking to clinch the title needing a positive result, or else find that our destiny is no longer in our hands come the final day against a fellow struggler.

[Jacki]

We've been all over the shop in midfield. Taylor's been dropping deep as we've been over run. 

Might be a game for a bit of Tomlin magic. He definitely owes us a big performance. If he comes on of course. 

Massive 45 minutes coming up.

If that happens it will be an almost certain case of having to beat Birmingham to stay up.

Well, I know the 4th official. He's from Kingswood, nice guy but a Gashead. 

[Offside]

We got exactly what we deserved in the first half. Let's see how LJ and the team respond. 

[MelksRed]

And so the second 45 minutes commences......it better be a huge improvement from the first half. 

 

Hopefully we can save this rather than choke and squander another chance to secure our Championship staus

[Ivorguy]

All those happy clappers at The Gate had better start clapping for their lives right now or we really are facing relegation

COYR!!

Cotterill isn't in the squad 

Injured or just another inexplicable 'falling from grace' by the little guy in charge because someone dared to question is useless  non existent tactics

[samo II]

Need something from this game, or for fellow strugglers to collapse (Reading doing is no favours; hope they either miss out on or get murdered in the playoffs).

Throw the kitchen sink at them.

COYR!

Forest 3-0

Would hope all our fans are and not looking to score points off people who simply disagree with them?

Really? This has been happening for years... one game, fantastic and the next, total garbage.

[South Bristol Red]

Another clear foul. This time this on Brownhill

Joke

[CotswoldRed]

We really need a Wolves goal to put those 3 points well out of reach.
