Think the injury crisis could well be a lot worse than they are letting on.

Their record against us suggests it isn't luck, they know exactly how to play against us.

I love this. As if we employ the exact same tactics each time we play PNE regardless of the players, and vice versa.

A bit late in the day to ask, but who is sharing the Radio Bristol commentary?

Young Vyner

Their goalkeeper has been outstanding to be fair. Reads the game brilliantly. 

[Lordofthebling]

Not our night, seems we have had an off night all over the pitch.

Elliasson looks dangerous. Cheap ref too.

You wonder don't you. Preston had a few back, some of ours just not doing what they normally do, Sounded frankly a regulation win for Preston.

Simple rule in all sports at all levels - don't play players who are not fully fit

Simples

So much timewasting...

What so the last thing Grayson did on the way out of the club was to email Alex O'Neil detailed instructions on how to beat Bristol City? 

We've let ourselves down tonight, and contributed entirely to this dreadful performance. I'm looking at the players here as well, not the management team. 

LJ has to take some of the blame, neither Pato or Joe looked as though they were fully fit and should not have started. Taking Djuric off at same time as putting Eliasson on seemed a poor decision, as Eliasson has got some decent crosses in that would have been perfect for Djuric to get on the end of.

Johnson Out? Sounds like it by the comments on here.

Having said that about 30 players signed and no cover in the squad.

Yeah, Pulls is available..   anyone??

I imagine Djuric was another unfit player who should not have started

[intercity]

for a moment on bcfc tv it was 3-0... Nice goal but too little too late

Sheff U 4 v 5 Fulham (after being 2-5) 

 

Sounds like one hell of a game

[Dan Robin]

Bad, bad result...

 

[Kingswoodactor]

Maybe we should buy Leon Clarke in Jan for 15 million

[cityexile]

Final score. Most disappointing result of the season for me. Back to earth with a bump.

Millwall, Leeds, Burton, now Preston all showed how to negate us at home now. Got much right this season, but not sure LJ did today.

Ho hum.

Don't disagree. Chance to bounce back.

[Wanderingred]

Really disappointing. Hopefully people will criticise and pick apart this performance in isolation rather than the club/management/players/ our.season as a whole.

Without dating myself too much, my friend had every episode of STNG on vhs, housed in a bespoke cabinet, it looked immense.

Did the VHS cases have like a matching picture if all lined up?

Bad day at the office. Injuries look like they are beginning to affect us. Tactics were wrong tonight. Colin style tactics from Preston. Best forget that one and move on.....

[Ivorguy]

Same old City?  Flattering only to deceive 

Been here too many times over the years.

If we are serious about finishing in top six, two simple points for management to take on board

1 Only play fully fit players, even if young

2 Make quality signings as soon as possible in January window 

If you don't then we have to accept mediocrity (and possibly ........)
