How did Korey miss that?! And instead we end up with Flint sent off. Cunningham was playacting little ***** though. 

Thats what I hate about Preston. They're aggressive as **** and do all the little Warnock shithousery tactics and then go down at the lightest touch, feigning injury and crying about everything that doesn't go their way.  

That is all fine but they won!

[Mr Popodopolous]

****!! Flint...

What a cushion we had after an hour at home to Wolves... V 10 men, goal to the good and a real opportunity to pressure Wolves too, had it stayed 1-0.

Really sad. I mean we are still right in the playoff picture but tonight's results terrible for us.

What’s the situation with Baker?

Another sicknote.

[petehinton]

Magnússon & Wright as a potential CB pairing. When we could have Flint & Baker. 

Like being refused entry in Waitrose & having to go to Asda.

To be fair, whilst it was stupid of Flint to get red carded, I think our playoff chances were over before tonight. 

In 6th and our playoff chances gone with a handful of games left?

Well, lost to a rival who are now equal with us on points, and to top it off we now seem to be missing both of our CB's unless Baker will be back soon. All in all I still think the lack of quality full backs is leaving us in a dire situation, I mean had we bought a RB or a left back we'd now have some cover as Bailey would be able to play CB without having to put Korey in as a RB which is more than likely to happen.

All in all when we have no injuries/ suspensions we have have a good team, however we still lack quality in depth and that will be our undoing this season.

Pisano will be back Saturday

Bitter about us because he was only a bit player in the promo season

Yep, him and Baldock seem to be two players who try to wind us up since leaving us. 

[roddy-d]

Not good enough I'm afraid.

I'm not sure where I said they didn't win? 

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Nice to see Johnson making only one sub! 

Got what we deserved today, fair play to PNE.

If our manager learned how to manage game to game then we wouldn't be shown up time after time.

We cant hope to bounce back off poor performances, we need to be steady and more dogged.

[Tin Soldier]

Forget about the playoffs. Reality check tonight.

Once again though as a team, we get suckered into other teams tactics and games.

That’s what happens when your ego outweighs your professionalism. Absolutely ******* moronic.

Dont agre. many points to play.

[cityexile]

Difficult to be balanced after that.

Preston are a very decent side. I thought we were much better in the second half, created a few chances and did ok.

The sending off turns it from being edged out on the night to pretty much a disaster. Brain dead. We kind of know it, but this back four is just not a top six back four. Just cannot give away two goals in the way we did tonight.

Dang and blast.

[Curr Avon]

If we don't get in the playoffs, it'll be due to poor mental strength and discipline. We've got the quality to succeed, but boy are we soft. Too many defensive errors and Flint is banned for 3 matches, following a similar stretch for Baker - who is injured. Saturday is now a must win.

Absolute braindead from Management and players tonight again. Have they learned nothing from Bolton A and Cardiff A

Nope. Johnson is a one-trick pony and he was sussed out ages ago.

[Loosey Boy]

Typical Bristol City I'm afraid!

[screech]

Gah!! We've shot ourselves in both feet again. Can't say I'm too surprised though because Preston are a good side and definetly have our number at the moment.

[Shockwave]

What might have been

[Slack Bladder]

Nice to see our subs have such a big impact on the game.

and our already fading hopes of making the play-offs have gone

Didn’t realise it was mathematically impossible to claw back a 1 point deficit with 10 games to go. My mistake.

[BCFC Grim]

Making only one sub when trailing? It seems even Johnson realises our squad arnt good enough. Same he didn't realise that in January.

[REDOXO]

The chance is still there but winning football matches with no Flint and Effing Magnússon playing is going to be tough

[Gert Mare]

Doozers

Within Fraggle Rock lives a second species of small humanoid creatures, the pudgy, green and industrious Doozers. Standing about 4 inches (10 cm) tall ("knee-high to a Fraggle").^[5] Doozers are in a sense anti-Fraggles; their lives are dedicated to work and industry. Doozers spend much of their time busily constructing all manner of scaffolding throughout Fraggle Rock, using miniature construction equipment and wearing hardhats and work boots. Doozers build their constructions out of an edible candy-like substance (manufactured from radishes) which is greatly enjoyed by Fraggles. This is essentially the only interaction between Doozers and Fraggles; Doozers spend most of their time building just for the sake of it, and Fraggles spend much of their time eating Doozer buildings which they consider delicious. The Doozers do not object, instead saying in an early episode that "architecture is meant to be enjoyed."

[Tin Soldier]

For us to stay the course, we need to start learning from our mistakes. Tactics need to be sharpened up IMO. Found out by yet another team tonight. Frustrating for us all!

[Ivorguy]

Are we back to LJ's lifestyle interview?

There is something definitely wrong which can no longer be hidden by the very occasional reasonable result - because earlier in the season we were doing so well

This is clearly now not a blip

Be interesting to listen to LJ's analysis

[Midred]

Are we surprised? Preston are one of the few teams to have out-Warnocked, Warnock!

Fine Flint, the idiot.

Look at the Flint incident closer and you may soften your view.
