JBFC II

Bath dominated tonight, when they put out a full strength side against us making 7 changes it was always going to be difficult Bristol needed to start strongly but they didn't and Bath were on top from the beginning, Bristol, under pressure made mistakes at the line out and were dominated at the scrum which made it difficult Mitch eadie was the only player to impress me tonight, varndell finished well but as per usual was at fault for a try we obviously need additions and as shown by the team selection survival is the main aim this season and if we do that i can see us pushing on next season and beyond

Bris have made a few changes looking at the line up, Tuohy isn't injured from what I've seen but we don't have the best strength in depth at lock so we don't want him being injured for quins, especially with his injury record not being the best. I think thats just why we signed Matthewson, he has tonnes of experience and from what I've seen of him looks like a good player for a team in our position, especially with Worcester selling players in recent weeks it's good to see us bringing in fresh talent

Teams out for tomorrow both teams putting out strong sides http://www.premiershiprugby.com/news/robbie-fruean-to-make-starting-debut-anthony-watson-on-the-wing-against-bristol-rugby/ http://www.bristolrugby.co.uk/news/team-news-bristol-rugby-vs-bath-rugby/

Weird one imo, hes obviously a top player but we have williams and cliff who are two good scrum halves, getting an All black can only be good though!

Good for Bristol to have a few weeks break from the league, a win on Friday v Bath would be massive for confidence and with Woodward looking like he might be out its good they don't have a premiership game on the weekend Quins will be a must win game imo, they've lost every away game this season and will be without their England internationals, and with Worcester playing sarries it will be a massive opportunity to overtake them

Something i noticed yesterday is just how good tammy's hold up play is, for a 19 year old he has a lot of strength and is able to keep the ball really well, even better than wilbs imo

thought bobby reid was one of our best players today, better than pack abd o neil definitely

hopefully it isn't as bad as made out to be.....

looking forward to this, got my first ever experience on coach 1..... 2-2 Tomlin and Joe for me

make that 4

3-2 sags

I see they have taken 65 to Portsmouth tonight, they cant have counted the 40000 locked outside

Because little has been like this for the last 3 years, joes having an off game

Littles been beaten every time by their winger, Joes had a poor free kick and miscontrolled a ball, thats it

Mark little??

Mark Little has been poor this season but tonight he's been as bad as I've ever seen him, nobody has been as good as average so far imo

Even the post knows how big the gap is..... http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/football-manager-2017-what-happens-is-bristol-city-join-bristol-rovers-in-league-one/story-29861857-detail/story.html

its been the same week in week out, we have players who can't kick trying to kick and failing, awful

very similar tbf, the only problem is i doubt a new manager will make a difference for Bris unlike LJ did for us.....

Firstly, we should have a good chance of survival but the way we've been playing we really don't look like staying up Lansdown went for big money signings in the summer and they didn't materialise so we were left with very few signings and a very similar squad to the one of last season which is no where near good enough. In rugby its so much more difficult to bring in quality as the gap between the premiership and championship is so great, you can have as much money as you want but with wage caps etc bigger clubs are always going to get the better players

I've been going regularly this season and I have to say this was the worst performance of the season, we lacked any sort of commitment going forward and seemed to kick the ball away at every opportunity. I hoped we may win a game for once but it looks like we may do a London Welsh

Fair enough, I can see you crashing next season but as you said who knows?

There is dreaming, then there is delusion, if an Oxford fan said they would be above Newcastle next season, they would be called deluded...

Wait, your saying he doesn't...??
