Only just over 8000 fans at the mem. Fantastic crowd according to the commentary. They really are supporting their team well.

Just seen the goals. Awful city defending. First goal Goldbourne way out of position then Flint and Little let Bent have a free header. Second goal cross in from the same side, Bryan gives up stopping the cross and the central defenders do nothing. In my eyes non professional and they need a good kick up the arse or get out.

I very much felt like i was watching city under the last few months under Cotts. Little errors costing points, no confidence going forward. The crowd felt like they had just given up. I am surprised how tolerant the bristol fans were because if city were playing that badly the crowd would have been more on there back!! We sat near the dugouts and what i couldn't get over is the amount of non playing staff involved. 2 water attendants, a medic and physio for each team who looked like they wanted to go on at every opportunity, a bloke with a towel and a bloke with the kicking disc plus 2 blokes to keep track of the multiple substitutions. No wonder it was stop start all the time. The only thing i would take is the timing system. Why cant the same system be used in football where the ref stops the clock and it is clear for everyone. Then once the time is up the next time the ball goes out of play, game over. What do people think?

Why the hell would sam allerdyce be looking for future england players at the mem!0 The only reason he would go to that dump would be to check out gazebos for his garden parties.
