I don’t see why it has to be negative . There were plenty around me wanting to keep three up which was ridiculous . Going 531 I saw as being solid whilst also hopefully being able to get up the pitch . My difference of opinion with @Harry was how we got up the pitch
-
Clear push on Atkinson no pen ! Ok then that can be debated . Hull was a pen though ? I think you’ve lost the plot
-
I’m not saying that at all. Your way of playing would of left us vulnerable to be hit on the counter attack. One goal would of let to two. My , or more importantly a vastly experienced managers way , was by playing 531 . Stopped them playing through us and we could try to get up the pitch as a unit. We actually created a couple of half chances that way . One in fact was a overload on the right which led to Martin being unmarked . Yet again the incompetent linesman flagged for offside when he was clearly onside . Your idea would simply cause us to lose possession as our isolated striker would of been out numbered.
-
Completely disagree. If we say kept Conway up on his own. Tried to play into him he would of had at least two or three defenders around him . We would of surrendered possession constantly . We couldn’t afford to commit more bodies as we would of been picked off. By doing what we did we stopped them passing through . They created no real clear cut chances. The only save bents had to make all game was a wayward shot that defected.

I agree but where are you getting them from . Like I said they’re too scared to overturn the on field ref anyway , especially if they’re young refs . That’s another 12 refs needed every week
-
We brought one of the best hold up men in the league to get us up the pitch . It was 20 minutes not 30 once we were down to ten men we can’t press , so you want one man to run in behind . To get up the pitch you have to do it as a unit . Would you keep wells or Conway on just run around like a headless chicken. What you’re advocating is lumping it behind their back four which just surrenders possession anyway . When we did get up the pitch we played our way up. We didn’t need to carry a threat we needed a solid shape which is exactly what happened.
-
Trouble is , it means more refs watching a monitor . The ones we got now are bloody useless so god knows what the standard would be like & where they’d get them from
-
We didn’t need to carry a threat . To keep pressing them with a man less would of played into their hands .
-
So you want to keep pressing high up the pitch with three strikers when we’re 2-0 up& down to ten men. They would of walked through us . For me he got it right. He didn’t rush the subs . He put a out & out defender at right back in vyner . He went 531. It was exactly the right thing to do. Straight after the sending off they started to pass through us . After the changes we blocked that off & saw the game out pretty comfortably .

I don’t see how var makes things better .the idiots at stockley park will just back up the clowns on the pitch ,like we see in the prem
-
You wouldn’t of thought so with some of the clowns sat behind me in e29 blaming Pearson for negative subs when 2-0 up with ten men . To plug midfield & the back 5 to stop them walking through us was the wrong decision apparently
-
He’s right as well. The standard is shocking . Four games in we should probably of had 4 penalties . How atkinsons wasn’t given tonight I don’t know. . The penalty v hull . The non sending off Saturday . If Sykes goes (was a poor tackle) then their bloke had to go as well . some say get var in but the incompetent tossers will just back up the on field refs & none of us would know because you can’t see it in the ground .
-
Posh do it as well to a lesser extent . Constantly picking up gems at low cost & selling high . A club that size shouldn’t be getting in & out of the championship as much as they have over the last 10-15 years , but they do because they have a strong playing structure. just the memory of the clubs in the bag quote from Johnson senior that ended up with a overblown lop sided over paid squad that ended in disastrous relegation . He learnt nothing from that even though it cost him £50m of his own money . He the then repeats it with LJ & here we are again. The bloke is bloody clueless football wise
-
I get that to a extent but how are we better off ? Because of the ground ? Training ground ? On the pitch we’re going backwards . People will say oh sir Steve keeps bailing us out financially . Yes he does , but he’s constantly bailing out his own mistakes . It’s so Bristol city to get a local billionaire in charge of us that knows bugger all about the sport he’s involved in . If I or many on here had , had the chance to pump the money in he has then I would of known first & foremost to define a playing philosophy the club adheres to from first team & right through the academy . Get the best scouting network affordable . Football wise he’s just stumbled his way along . We get promoted , identify the players we want to make us stronger & what happens , our CEO at the time (not Ashton) tries to renegotiate contracts . He promptly lost his job & rightly so , but how did Lansdown ever let that happen . We had a good squad & looked good to kick on with signings we wanted but no . We end up going backwards . Poor planning by ”sir Steve” yet again
-
A mate text me during the Brentford game & said . How the hell have they done this on a fraction of the budget we’ve had at city . We were always the so called bigger club than them but always seemed to be in the same league . Little brentford. Look what a defined idea & playing philosophy can get you. we’ve NEVER had that under Lansdown . His managerial & boardroom appointments have been piss poor. He gets credit for Gary Johnson , apart from him every other manager he himself has appointed has been a failure (cotts, Kieth dawe)
-
I got gas mates (sadly) one of them was laughing during the week because he said he’d be willing to sell. Yes he’s rebuilt the ground & training ground but on the pitch where it matters. For the amount of money he’s put into the playing side of things he’s failed miserably . He’s no Harry Dolman in that respect
-
Total bollocks . Keeping the club in the championship while cutting £12m off the wage bill is something most managers couldn’t do . Look at his post match press interview , he looks exasperated . We can’t bring players in at the moment but we’re desperate for them . Stop concentrating on the 90 minutes in front of you & think behind the scenes. There are plenty of Lansdown happy clappers but it’s his bloody fault we’re in this mess

Refs ******* hate us I swear -
Third game into the season. I don’t know how long you’ve followed football but you have to get used the ups & downs in a season . What happens in the first few games rarely reflects upon a full season.

Some right cockwombles on here at times

Yes , that was fed by the very top of the club as well

I don’t know how old you are but no , it’s completely different . The monotone drone of briiistol of the egg chasing . The the energetic aggressive shout of BAAAAAAARRRRRRIIIISSTOL BAAAARRIISTOL
