I thought she handled the game well and booked players that normally get away with the niggly fouls.
The only thing that I queried was when she moved all the players back to the centre when their goalie was about to take a kick.

Because we are a ground now full of day trippers plus the game was crap and hardly surprising.
No the surprise was at the end. Another penalty!

Much easier to get on the bus if you leave early tbh
Well I got on the bus quite easily even after staying to the end . Likewise there were quite a few on the bus who didn't see the goal.

They may be bottling it, BUT at least it's not predictable

I know what you mean about manning but give it a rest give credit where it’s due , perhaps it was how we played that made Blackburn play so poorly ,
only 2 weeks ago that this lot beat Sunderland 5 1 and then Sunderland go on to take a point at Leeds,
thought tonight was very decent performance, my biggest criticism with manning / team so far is the gulf in the inconsistencies of performance, when we have been good we have been pretty decent but on the flip side when we’re poor it’s pretty dire , we need to get somewhere in the middle
I'm no Manning apologist but it always amazes me that if we play well the opposition must be s**t or having an off night. Think the team deserve a lot of credit, 4 clean sheets and we stopped the opposition playing their game

I hope plans are being drawn up to give Rotherham a small section of the away end over by the Lansdown, so we can give at least half the Atyeo to City fans.
Last games of the season are usually popular so we have a real opportunity to increase the attendance due to a very small away support.
It will be even more popular as its a designated family day all kids under 12 £1 (as is the Womens game on the Sunday against Man City)

Back from the game and looking forward to watching the highlights on ITV4 now

Only thing I’d add is what a good game the ref had
wonder if it would have been different if it hadn't been a late change of ref?

Easily worst side i've seen in a while at the gate. Wasn't aware of Blackburn's league position before this game. Honestly thought they were above us.
Give us some credit

On Sky looked like lots of gaps among the fans, is that the reality?
Yes. Poor weather on the red button and still school holidays.

Should be a decent game, you'd have to imagine Sammy will definitely score, and I reckon a 1-1 draw looks about right
Well he didn't last time.

Probably hear him on TALKSPORT more

Yeah not the most exciting of topics I know but possibly an option and of interest for those of us North of Bristol.
My mate had a leaflet out through the door from one of the local councillors that suggests conversations are fairly advanced for something running from the P&R - if successful they would also look at running similar for Bears and the blue quartered clowns.
Text-Join Claire Young's campaign to get a matchday special bus from Yate Park and Ride to Ashton Gate.
A resident Robin suggested this to Claire - and Claire followed it up: first with council officials and then with the Managing Director of First Bus. As a result ne has promised to work with the club to try to get it set up - without costing tax payers a penny. The plan would be to have a service you could book and pay for online. If it works then specials for the Bears, Rovers or other major events could be on the cards.
I would have liked one from Lyde Green P&R. Unlike Yate we don't have the train as an alternative & have to go to Brislington P&R

I remember when Nigel Pearson finally unburdened us from David Bentley there was a lot of doubt over this lad’s capabilities, I think over the season it would be fair to say Goalkeeper is the last position we need to be looking at when it comes to transfer priorities! Another great performance
But it is good to have a good reserve to keep Max on his toes ( or cover any injury)

It depends a little on how you define "one of the best". For me I'd say it means he's in the top 6 in enough stats/areas to be in that conversation. I'd say as well that I say he looks like one of the best, because the defence in front of him improves him. I don't necessarily mean that he is, objectively, one of the top keepers in this division.
Anyway, Max is:
3rd best save% this season.
4th for overall number of saves.
6th best for goals conceded.
7th best for stopping crosses.
Top 10 for most stats relevant to being a sweeper. Top 6 for one or two.
He's not up there for every stat, and not all stats indicate whether a goalkeeper in isolation is good/bad, but yeh he's putting in top 6/top 10 numbers in multiple categories.
Think he's one (although he's not perfect) that has improved under Liam Manning (and of course Pat Mountain)

Add to that the women's teams (I assume there is a womens rugby team)
Yes there is and will get more attention when the World Cup comes to Ashton Gate next year.

For the away shirt I'd like purple with lime trim similar to Norwich away kit or Fiorentinas and for home kit something similar to Ajax kit. But most importantly it must feature a recognisable robin in all its red breasted glory.

Not sure that was the complaint. He always looked like he added something to the squad, but in his first full games for us he struggled to score and seemed lacking in confidence Sammy Szomidics anyoneto shoot.
Some thought he might make a midfielder but not a striker, others that it was a confidence thing and he'd come good. Which proved correct.
Oh what we'd give for a robust frontman able to hold off defenders, now.
Sammy Szmodics anyone? Could certainly do with his goals

I know hindsight and all that. But how did we let Szmodics go. Another 2 already today!
I'm glad when bigging him up today on TALKSPORT that 'Colin' didn't mention us. Lets hope he hasn't got his scoring boots on at Ashton Gate next week.

This isn't the Plymouth or Leicester forum. It was meaningless for us.
You're trying to frame this as Leicester and Plymouth are battling to win every single point and giving their all so that makes them impressive victories but the reality is both are/were in poor form and Leicester have huge off the field issues.
Plymouth were in far better form when they came to Ashton Gate and if I remember rightly they had quite a few good chances.
No game is meaningless. We need to build momentum and get some of the confidence back in the team .

You can never fully know what player you are going to get, only have to look at two of our high profile loanees turned perms in to know that even when theres try before we buy it doesn’t always work.
said before that with twine and mebude there’s a case of thinking what type of player you might want, getting them in and seeing how it works, hence the loan. If it is that player great, sign him up or if not available someone similar. Mebude is currently an enigma. Must be a player in there but wrong time of the season to find him - but of course could have gone another way.. potentially undervalued needs the right coach and right situation etc
I wonder what work they do with him on the training ground? He's probably one that merits some individual attention.

Gave a great account of themselves. Werd always going to run out of steam at the end given the gulf in intensity both will be used to. Really hope to see some of them given a shot soon, though Yeboah was excellent again.
A certain level of irony in 3 muscle injuries hugely damaging our chances….!
Also the sub before half time reduced our chances. Not sure what the thinking was but having fresh legs for 2nd half as Man City did would have helped. Nevertheless a good effort against the Cat1 academy favourites.

Bizarre that we didn't.
Very strange decision.
If we get another injury then we'll have to play the remainder of that half with 10 so should have just took the hit in thr 1st half.
I'm really surprised. Its almost as though they've momentarily forgotton the substitution rule. With the injurys we've had in the first half the odds aren't in our favour to get through the next 45. I'd rather have played stoppage time with 10 than possibly 10 for a lot longer. Hopefully they won't regret the decision.
9 Years! 6 Goals! PROMOTION!!!

Agree with this apart from JET being a liability. Laid back yes, but liability no. Added that moment of magic to the team and helped out the team when we had a number of injuries .
