Fact is, we went there expecting to lose but to keep it respectable. Players do this. Trust me. It was the mindset. This is a measure of where we are as a club and the job ahead.

No. For the reasons I said.

Log off mate. You offer zero.

My friend, you are a pest on here. You contribute nothing and find yourself mildly amusing. Be constructive, offer football opinion, suggest improvement options, or just do not bother. Ironically you are about as effective as the player in the profile name you chose. Largely meaningless and a figure of ridicule.

You are the most empty poster on here.

Simpson and Downing leaving was absolutely nailed on from the second Pearson walked through the door. This has been done in a very sensitive and slow way, as much of our rebuild has to be done for a couple of reasons. 1) They are both thoroughly decent guys and coaches with good pedigree pre-us who were sold a dummy by the club; 2) Getting shot of them immediately as was surely part of NP’s plan and agreement to sign a 3 year deal would further compound and be further admission that the appointment of Holden and all associated with it through Ashton was an absolutely unforgivable shambles all under Lansdowns direction and accountability. Good luck to both PS and KD, but another part of our horrendous recent history re-booted.

If Scotty is on £56k a year then that is value for money and then some. Absolutely cracking individual and offers more around the club than many. Anyone who may begrudge a genuine club legend and a superb community individual that kind of money, and yet hero-worships some of our £10-20k A WEEK plodders (no fault of their own they were bought), needs a reality check.

I have come to the conclusion that there are around a dozen posters here that are given the task of spouting absolute nonsense to generate debate and traffic. These posters cleverly hide this face by being unable to spell, offer reasoned opinion and/or display minimal football knowledge so that everyone else feels the need to respond. Its either that or right now we have the football team some of our fanbase deserves.

This isn’t a bad idea. It does feel so samey down there. Need to change the atmosphere. The thing that annoyed me the most tonight was Taylor grabbing the ball as they knew they could win it. Imagine that, not settling for a point away but knowing they had 3 minutes to win at and believing they could. What does that say that other clubs think about us? Vulnerable? Brittle? Soft? On a par with Rowett saying last year that we were basically 3 points in waiting.

How anyone can criticise Nahki Wells tonight just has an agenda. Played on the shoulder, lovely timed runs in-behind, shot on sight which led to our goal, a post-hit, and a great effort from distance. Also held it and rarely gave it away. We should invest in him. He cost us £5m and we rarely use him wisely and when we do he always looks sharp and a threat. Its the lack of players around him to get the best out of him thats the issue.

Could barely type whilst searching for this thread I expect out of sheer glee and laughter. A long night ahead for him unable to sleep with the anticipation of all the reaction he may cause. Wow.

How long have you been giggling excitedly to resurrect this thread. Sad act.

Do everyone a favour and just stop posting.

Yeah 4-0 but 3-0 down after 19 mins!! All of this after that Colin Gordon winner on a horrific rainy day at the Gate v Brian Deane and Doncaster. Gordon nearly took the keepers head off and fouled him at least 4 times during that goal!!

Robbie Carnage obliterating half of Merseyside with his elbows that night at Tranmere didn’t help!

1988 Play-off final replay v Walsall, Fellows Park. In the first leg we managed to lose 1-3 at the Gate, after being 1-0 up with 28 mins left infront of 25,000, and then won 2-0 at Walsall to haul us level in the tie, after which we conspired to lose a pen shoot out for home advantage in the final replay. 19 mins into said replay - Walsall 3-0 Bristol City. A 270 minute slow death with City typically keeping us interested but then imploding. Almost a perfect set of matches to sum us up over the last 35 years. David Kelly 5 goals across the 3 games. First time I was old enough to experience genuine heartbreak as a City fan.

Love him. Just what we need. Saw glimpses of it at Millwall and again today but he likes a chirp and wants to get involved. About time we had some gob in there who is not afraid to put a foot in. Bet he is great around the club too. Keep him fit and and others have said, a midfield of Williams, James and Massengo is very very exciting.

Obvious what my all time favourite is!

Oh my god this is the best thing I have ever seen. Just when I thought today could not get any better Ashton gives me this. Cruise meets Brent meets Knighton.

Wahhhhayyyyy here he is!! Massive win masterminded by NP, get yourself a cider!

Is it time?!?!? Another win on the road for the Robins!!! Haaa what a ridiculous original post this was. Have a good night fellow Redssss!!!!!

Vyner only Championship standard sporadically I am afraid. Below average centre-half, holding midfielder, and now right-back. Of the age where I think unfortunately must be one to move on and then reinvest the funds.

Yeah sorry meant to quote something else. Been a long day!

2 defeats in 7 games this season. Delivered so far.

Are we including the close season in that? I am worried about this season. We stayed in the division last year.
