Not convinced by Magnússon. Too slow off the ball and weak in the tackle. Poor decision making too. Can't understand why so many on here seem to love him. He is eminently droppable. I really really hope he improves, I don't like slagging any player.  but there's no evidence of any coolness in or out of possession in his last few starts. He needs to sort his confidence out. 

 

 He needs a copy of Troy McClure's video " Get confident Stupid " 

The follow up to " Smoke yourself slim " .

Seriously tommy why do you bother. A point away at Sheffield Wednesday is a very good result, infact any point away is good.

We just need a bit more quality in final 3rd. Central midfielder, striker in Jan. We miss Diedhiou 

Slightly playing devils advocate here - Diedhiou will be back before January so why do we need to sign another?

 

[Alex_BCFC]

It's a good away point - they won at Villa before international break and we still have injuries and suspensions. 

[ChippenhamRed]

Are we allowed to call ourselves play off contenders yet?

Away points like today would certainly seem to strengthen the claim.

This may of been the case when we dropped a 3 goal lead at Derby last season however this comment is beyond ridiculous

At the moment, sure. Wolves look very strong, Villa and Middlesborough moving up, and to many draws maybe to be challenging top two. Given average luck with injuries over the rest of the season, two defeats so far suggests we are. Why not?

[Mr Popodopolous]

Is a good result I feel..especially with the absentees. Seemed about fair I thought and is another step forward from last season.

[bristolcitysweden]

SL need to push in the window rather than getting more crap on board. We are desperatre for a foreign playmaker and a goal scorer.

Agree. Cant win them all and shouldnt expect to. More than happy with a cleansheet and point away at a difficult ground ta very much.

[The Coach]

On the M1. Two poor teams today, who if they wanted to could of won with actual effort.

If I was going to be critical, Johnson needs to start telling the players to apply pressure on the opposition, and also tell the midfield to run forward with the ball. Just show some energy.

Exactly - Djuric, Diedhiou, Reid, Taylor - and Woodrow.

Any names that we can afford and aren't on their last legs?

I think we have to be considered contenders now. We're tough to beat, we don't concede many and we are still getting results despite significant absences. Those are excellent traits to have. This is more than a good start now, we're 17 games in.

Why foreign? If they can do the job, who cares which nationality. Take a risk and try signing one or more of those England youngsters who've won their World Cup?

I wasn't at the game but does anyone who was there agree there was no effort? That sounds at odds with the consensus and certainly doesn't sound like the team this season.

I'm not sure you can get an away point in the Championship without effort.

Agreed!

[cidered abroad]

Normally an away point at Wednesday is gratefully received. However, we denied them any shots on target but our Achilles heel denied us another three points.

What is our Achilles heel? Our lack of clinical finishing which will be the reason why we won't be challenging for automatic promotion.

I'm not complaining or criticising as we've done a good job and are still maintaining improved form on last season. Perhaps my disappointment shows how far we've come.

City played well. Could have won. 

No effort my ass!

I’m sure someone posted one of those graphs a couple of weeks back showing we were actually the second most clinical in the league behind Ipswich.

No idea what you were watching. Both teams were poor. The stats give some indication of this. Game of opinions.

To be fair, we're without our record signing up front. Most teams would miss their number one striker. Perhaps his return could help convert a few good draws into stunning victories?

[BCFC Rich]

I think we're a bit hard on Mags. He clearly isn't a LB and is not at all confident in the role. He looked better today than the last game and all you can really ask is for progress. He didn't get forward enough and or offer an overlap but actually, apart from one mix up with FF, defensively he was decent. Bailey suffers the same issue in terms of going forward as Mags but people appreciate he is out of position and give him some leeway. + Mags's throws are a potent attacking weapon that cause a huge threat and have led to a couple of goals so far this seasons. There have definitely been games where we have forgiven Flint's shortcomings because he has scored or been a threat up front.

Don't get me wrong I not saying he is at the level of Bailey or Flint but he is a player who is developing and has potential. When he is at CB he actually looks confident and relaxed on the ball so it's clear that playing LB affects that part of his game. I not saying he is amazing but I think some people have got into a mindset of looking for his faults instead of looking at him overall. At worst I'd say he is a useful squad player.

Wow. I suppose your last comment is right!
